ers, cost less than 600 British and
Australian casualties. The army OF
the Nile took Bardia in its stride
and is sweeping on to destroy or
scatter what is left of Italy's once
powerful west African army.
No Reason To Doubt
There seems no reason to doubt
British ability to clear all coastal
Libya, from Egypt to Tunisia, of
Italian resistance. Desert dis
tances are a more formidable OBJ
stacle than Italian troops in Mar
shall Graziani's shattered COM
mand. The British navy has so
frightened it's grip on the eastern
Mediterranean and the coastline of
west Africa, however, that British
forces could be ferried forward by
sea on long jumps. Direct contact
between British African forces
flushed with victory and French
colonial troops in Tunisia could be
quickly established, if desired.
If that is the mission of the army
of the Nile it hints strongly that
London regards Nazi troop mobi-
lizations in Rumania as a defen-
sive, not an offensive, measure.
Sofia dispatches indicate a Bull
gsrian disposition to view Nazi
concentrations along the Rumani-
an-Bulgarian and Rumanian- Yugo-
slavian borders in that light.
Security of Rumanian oil sources
against any eventuality is a prime
necessity for the Nazis. A Nazi in
vasion of Bulgaria or Yugoslavia
on a dubious winter march to aid
Italy in Albania would expose Ru-
manian oil fields to air attack.
Major Factor
1t seems logical to assume that
if the British expected such a Ger
man drive, the Libyan campaign
would be curtailed. British air
power was a major factor in the
victories of the army of the Nile.
1t would be a tremendously i'm
portant factor in any new Balkan
war precipitated by the Germans.
London is committed by treaty
to afford Greece all possible aid.
Cleaning up remnants of Grail
ani's army in Libya seems a less
useful matter than standing by to
blast Rumanian oil wells or Nazi
invaders if that is in store for
Bulgaria Or Yugoslavia. The fact
that the British campaign in Libya
is being extended suggests that
London does not expect a new
Balkan flare-up this winter.
The season certainly is wrong
for it. Both Bulgarian and Greek
mountain ranges, as well as the
Yugoslavian route from Rumania
to Albania, are now winter-bound.
There are so few roads and they
are so bad that world motor tourist

Getting a Nazi mechanical army
across the Balkan and Rhodope

east to west, into Greek Macedonia
would be a tremendous task even
without active Bulgarian opposi-

ment.

Little Excitement
Meanwhile, there isn't so much
to talk about. There's an occasion
al basketball game that doesn't
have much bearing on things IN
particular and creates only excite
ment of a minor nature.
There's an occasional fight and
they, too, usually fall in the minor
caliber classification. Baseball
trades bob up now and then and
ever so often a football coach quits
under fire and the various colleges
start looking around for someone
else to bear the burden.
But that's January-the month OF
contracting and retracting.
Because of Weather
Dixon high school up In OnsloW
county is very much dependent
upon the condition of the weather.
This little school usually manages
to turn out a better than fair
basketball team, despite the fact
that they have no indoor gymnasl-
UNI and have to do their training
and playing out-of-doors.
But, according to the coaches
who were in to see us a few nights
ago, Dixon is being pretty hard
hit this year. First graduation took
away most of the better players.
And then rain and freezing temper
atures kept them away from prac-
tlce and as a result the team has
not played a game to date.
But if the SUN comes out for a
few days and the mercury gets
back where it ought to, Dixon will
be trying to get back into basket
ball.

The bidding:
North East South West
/ 4 Pass / 4 Pass
2 A Pass Pass Pass
I'VE lost one club and one spade,
making five-odd at a contract of
only two. Still, We don't see how
North can raise to three spades
with such poor distribution; nor
do we think that North should bid
spades to begin with. Do you?
Perhaps South should have gone
on to three spades, but North could
have good deal less for his bids.
In that case making even three
spades might be quite feat. And
even If North had a fairly good
hand for his bids he might bid four
spades, after an invitational three
spades by South, and there might
well be no play at all for the con-
tract. South simply never dreamed
that the North hand would be so
strong.
Where did we make our mis-
take?"
The mistake took place mainly
In North's choice of the opening
bid. North's best opening bid is
one no-trump. If South then bids
two spades North has enough extra
value to raise to three spades, and
South must accept the invitation to
game with alacrity.
AS matter of fact, South might
even Jump to three spades over the
opening bid Of one no-trump.
Reaching game would then be very
easy.

Cost of maintenance of the home
last year was $14, ,158.08, on $34.11

is made by the state of Arizona to
care for homeless children, hence
the maintenance of the Arizona

someone said.
The flame kept getting bigger,
