stealing q Game

His first glance at the dummy
showed South that on normal play
he would have to lose two spade and
two club tricks, and accordingly he
had no chance for his contract.
However, normal results do not al
ways take place, and South was able
to discover way to give his oppo-
nents a chance to make an error,
which they obligingly did.
South, dealer.

November report of the highway
safety division, which listed school
buses as having two fatal and fiji
teen nonfatal accidents in the month,
the correspondent called this to the
Griffin attention with a pointed
chow Gomez"
Whereupon the school commission
secretary proceeded to explain that
one of the November accidents Oc-
cidents appeared like this:
A school child, it seems, got off
school bus just about in front of her
home; suddenly decided she wanted
to 70 to the mail box short distance
along the road back Of the bus;
started, but just as the bus backed
up a little bent down directly behind
the rear wheels in an effort to pick
up an object in the road. She was
run over and killed.
This, Mr.. Griffin explained, is not
his idea or conception Of a school
bus accident" The fact that school
child who had just got off a school
bus was crushed under the wheels
of that very bus doesn't make it So

could not recall but cit happened
about like that one'', he said
When Mr.. Griffin explained that
he considers as "school bus acct
dents" only those which are caused
by structural defects in the bus or
clearly incompetent or criminal
dripping on the part Of school bus
operator.
Therefore, he maintains, there
hasn't been a child killed in a school
bus accident during the calendar
year.
From any point Of view, the record
of North Carolina school buses is a
fine one; even if the Griffin defini-
tons are not accepted in full
There are in operation, five days
week during the nine Cor eight
months of school more than 1890
buses which in the course of twelve
months get over enough territory
to reach from here to yonder and
back several times; but the Griffin
ideas are outlined in order that here
after statements about the non-oc-
currence of fatalities or serious in
iuries in "school bus accidents may
be assayed for just what they are
worth.

This was something Fabienne
didn't know. She listened with avid

ELLEN went to college and I went

to go to medical school. Some in

And he knows the leprechaun.

To find their secret place
The wild swans feed their cygnets
Before his sightless face
