though North refused to do this Ellis was confident that the hand would produce nine tricks. While his bid ding might be termed daring, it was certainly justified by the result.
 South won the opening lead with the queen of hearts and led small club to the ace. The jack was re- turned and finessed, losing to the queen. Despite this wrong guess as to the clubs, declarer won four clubs and three hearts, and West could not prevent South from making g second trick in diamonds or a trick in spades.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-07

Miss Hart's objection to the pro- fessor's theory is a professional one. She can't afford to think much of men who can resist @ strip-teaSe routine
 But there are other reasons for not thinking highly of the professors idea. I have in mind his vision of incorruptible super-intellects run ming this country.
 NO MASTER MINDS"
 AMONG PLAIN FOLKS | The United States isn't made up of super-intellects. It is made up of men and women who are human enough to be tempted by rich foods and who, sometime, fall for mem Der of the opposite sex.
 Now, why should nation of such people want to be governed by bunch of smugly "incorruptible' men who might even go so far as to see that there is no chance for men and women to over-eat, and for men to enjoy the spectacle of pretty girls dancing in theaters?
 No, we might get another form of l totalitarianism if we let such men make our laws for us. If the profes- sor doesn't mind, we'll just keep on muddling along, guided by men who may find it hard to resist rich food and pretty girls.
 Whats good enough for us is good enough for our leaders.

AFTER THE RAINS
Key westers know as do residents of

Key Westers know as do residents of
many another city, that following pro-
tracted rainy season, such as we are ex-
periencing row, hOrdes of mosquitoes de-
3ccrd upon us to make life miserable And
we do mean-hOrdeS.
One of mankinds peskiest of pests,
the mosquito has certainly had full charge
of things during the past two weeks in
Key West, to such an extent really that
many social junction has been postponed
in Difference to his mOmentary reign.
The Citizens face is red bit in view
of an article that was featured on the
first page one day last week. 1t was en-
titled" Mosquitoes are on the rum, and it
was prompted after having witnessed the
drive being carried on by the city and
county mosquito-eradication squad, Messrs
Cleare and Harrison
1t apparently does very little good to
spray the lowlands of Key West with a
fine coating of oil che day, and then have
that mixture finely diluted with heavy
rains the next. Such is the experience of
the mosquito eradicators. Much of their
work went for naught on account of the
exceedingly heavy rains of late.
But. with characteristic tenacity of
purpose, the same squad is carrying on
with still more oil-spraying maneuvers,
constantly guarding against the time when
the rains will cease and hoping against
hope that supplies of oil will hold out.
In the meantime thousands upon thou
sands of mosquito larvae are destroyed in
the short time that oil is allowed to stand
full strength on the ponds and, fortunate
ly, Gambusia fish in hundreds of cisterns
prove just as effective, rain or shine. It's
worthy to remember that conditions would
have been infinitely worse if the eradica-
tiOn squad hadn't been busy these past few
weeks They deserve hearty round of
applause from us all.

BOMBING RAIDS DESTRUCTIVE

The bombing raids that have been
launched by the British against German
objectives are apparently doing consider
able damage in Germany but it is an open
question whether German planes are not
doing more damage in Great Britain.
The general bombing of England has
now been FOLLOWED by the use of dive
bombing tactics against restricted targets,
such as specified ports, like Dover. The
purpose of these attacks is to destroy the
facilities of the ports in order to prevent
the import of material and food that must
be brought into England if the British con-
tinue the war.
Reports from German sources assert
that the purpose is being attained and that
it is only a question of time before British
ports will be unable to handle the shipping
upon which life IN the British Isles de-
pends. London, as might be expected,
denies that any serious situation has arisen
but. then, no one would expect London to
admit such catastrophe as long as it
could be denied.
From neutral sources comes informa-
ton that German industrial plants have
been greatly damaged by British raids,
that great ports like Hamburg have been
wrecked and that the morale of German
citizens has been shattered by ineessant
air raid warnings Berlin, of course, de-
nies these reports, making light of the
damage inflicted by British raiders.
There is no way for a neutral OBJ
server, 5000 miles away, to know the
truth as to the damage done by the raids.
1t is natural to believe that it is much
greater than either side admits. The bomb
from the sky is destructive terror and it
remains to be seen which nation, and what
people, will give way under the impact OF
the new weapon of war.

that U. S. Air Corps observers believe che
odds are almost $3.50.
This is a tremendous change in
opinion. If the British last a few more
weeks the experts will boost their odds
again in favor of the British.
We are without information as to
what is the exact status of the British de-
fense at this time but the expert-opinion-

Though you were old and feeble
And your hair had turned so
white,
Somehow, l can't forget you,
Even though you're out of sight.
/ can't forget those hours
When you held me on your knee,
Or the tales of long ago
That you always told to me.
Your smile was like the sunshine
And your heart as pure as gold.
Everyone loved you, grandad,
The young as well as the old.
Like a sinking sun that sets,
Your journey on earth is through.
But each hour you can be sure
I'm thinking, grandad, of you.
