COMMUNICATION

Juneau, Alaska, Sept. S. To the
Editor CT The Empire-A news item
in The Empire last night announced
that twenty rattlesnakes had been
imported to Ketchikan.
1t might be difficult TO convince
any American in these critical times
that any abridgement of his liber-
ties is good thing but the writer
believes that liberty in some respects
is like liquor and that too much of
it isn't so good.

and have travelled over much Of
its land surface, not alone its trails
and roads if you please, but through

VOITURE WOULD

GLASSES, NORTH
Resolution Urges Program
Of Cooperation with
Health Dept.

The problem of Alaskan children's
eyes brought a resolution Yesterday
from the conventioning Foity-and-
Fighters here, urging an American
Legion sponsorship of glasses buy
ing program for needy children III
the Territory.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, the Alaska Territorial
Department of Health, has insti-
tuted, a program Of vision saving
through examinations of children
in the Territory of Alaska, but be-
cause of legislative and other con-
ditions beyond their control, do not
have the necessary funds to supply
the needed glasses after the child
has been examined;
Therefore, be it resolved. that
the Grand Voiture of Alaska il
Grand Promenade assembled do re-
quest a grant from the National
Child Welfare funds of La Societe
to furnish the glasses when found
needed by such examinations;
And be it further resolved; that
the initial request of the sum OF
$500 be turned over to the Ameri-
can Legion, Department of Alaska

Department of Health"

cbsessed with the idea OF studying

surveys in the particular area and
was SO jittery that I cannot attest
to the accuracy of such surveys.
The story of st. Patrick is not a
fable, though the particular scene
of his activities is somewhat OBJ

there is an abundance of collateral
historic evidence to show that st.
Patrick drove the snakes from Al
aska and not ireland and that he
himself was full blooded Kobuk

except for duplicated values. Many
players go wrong when they have
handful of their partners suit,
forgetting that it pays to under
bid doubtful hands, rather than
overbid.
Let's analyze today's bidding.
South, with very fine hand,
opens with g. spade. East and
West are vulnerable, so West can
not enter the bidding with four
card suit, and he Is not strong
enough to double. Now North is
confronted with a problem. Shall
he bid two psades, three spades
or four spades?
Two spades Is distinctly an I'M
derbid. Most players today con-
slider the jump to three stronger
than the jump to four. To jump
to three says, II would like to
hear from you further on this
hand" while four says, "At least
there is a game"
North should bid neither three
nor four spades. Despite the fact
that two spades is an lnderbid, it
is better than any other. South
goes to four over the two-spade
bid, but had North bid three or
even four spades, the contract
very likely would end at five or
six spades and be set. North and
South are bound to lose two
hearts and a club.
