UNCLE RAYS CORNER

of a man who is supposed to have
killed a dragon long ago. This hero
is known as st. George snd he is
called "the patron saint of England"
The story of st. Georges life is
not known clearly. 1t is believed
that he lived about 1900 years ago
and that he was a soldier in the
army of Roman Emperor.
Here, in short, modern form, is
the legend printed by Caxton, a
pioneer English printer:
THE people of the City of sylene
in Lybye were saddened by the
presence of a dragon which de-
manded food each day. At first
they gave two sheep each day. but
later they gave their own children,
chosen by lot.
after time the lot fell. on the
daughter of the King. He begged
his people to let him give silver
and gold instead of his daughter,
but they .efuseti, saying they would
burn him and his palace If he did
not stand by the rule.
1.-THE King at last gave In and led
the princess to the place where the
dragon would come.

In our story yesterday I told some
things about the strange monsters
known as dragons. They have had
a place in stories told for thousands
Of years.
In legends of ancient Greece the
dragon was spoken of as a very
wicked being. Among the Greek
heroes who are supposed to have
slain the monsters are Perseus and
Hercules.
IA Rome there came a time when
people took fancy" to the dragon.
Many groups of Roman soldiers car
ried pictures of dragons along with
images of war-eagles.
The dragon was used as standard
by Saxon soldiers of early England. l.
Later-after England was conquered
by the Normans-the dragon ap-
peared on banners and shields which
English soldiers carried into battle.
Some coats of arms of British
families are adorned with figures OF
dragons. When shown in this way
the dragon usually has the body of
q snake with the feet of eagles, the
head of wolf, wings like those of
n giant bat and barbed tail.
England, however, has made a hero

while she was sitting there, fear
full and alone, along came st. George
and asked her what was the matter.
When she told him he decided to
do battle against the dragon.
"The dragon came running toward
them. st. George leveled his spear
and rode against 1t. The dragon
was knocked to the ground, badly
wounded.
"St. George and the princess then
led the dragon into the city. In
the sight of the people he killed it.
The body was loaded on four oxcarts
and was taken away and thrown
in the fields"

Pass Pass "A Pass
"a Pass Pass Pass
CAS- YOU can see, there's no way
of defeating four spades; but we
couldn't see any way of getting to
four spades. North isn't strong
enough to go to three spades, and
South isn't strong enough to bid
again when North simply raises to
two spades. Isn't there some way
for North to bid two-and-a-halt
spades?"
Strangely enough, there is way
of doing that-although the rules OF
the game forbid any such bid in SO
many words. North should bid two
clubs instead of two spades. If South
has sound opening bid, he will give
North another chance to bid so
North doesn't have to be in hurry
10 raise the spades. (And if South
hasn't a sound opening bid and con-
seouently has to pass two clubs, the
North-South hands will be too weak
for game and little will have been
missed)
When South bids two spades over
North's response Of two clubs, North
can 20 to three spades. This COM
bination of bids by North-f1rst bid
ding his own suit and then raising
south's suits the easiest way to
show a hand whose strength Is about
midway between a single and a
double raise. And once South gets
that message, he will naturally bid
four spades, since he has subStan-
tally more strength than he needed
for his opening bid.

RECOMMENDATION AGAIN?-

Farmers throughout the county are
again faced with the problem of regi-
mentation-of being told just what
they can and cannot raise. This time it
affects wheat growers.
Two-thirds of those voting on the
wheat referendum May 81, must be
favorable in order for the marketing
quotas to go into effect. Once the
marketing quotas go into effect, the
higher-ups in Washington will dictate
as to the amount of wheat person
may raise.
Even though there are probably only
twenty-five people in the county eligi-
BILE to vote on this referendum, they
ought to vote one hundred percent,
and in our opinion, one hundred per-
cent against the question.
Little by little the privileges of free
dom are being taken away from farm
ers, from business men, from every
one, under the cloak of government
regulation The time to halt such a
trend is now, or it will steadily grow
worse toward a totalitarian govern
ment.

RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH
A. K. Jones. Pastor

Both Gnegy and Red House have
church services next Sunday morning
in charge of the pastor. The first Sun
day in June is the day of Pentecost
this year, the time appointed for the
Holy Communion, and this accounts
for the change in the Gnegy program.
Friday evening of next week, May
Both, an educational program has
been arranged by the Synod of West
Virginia. 1t is to be held at Red House
church at 7;45, the Aurora, Davis, and
Oakland parishes being our guests.
The Rev E. S. Specs of Philadelphia,
is the speaker, and he will present
pictures entitled, "The Church Life
Experiences of the Smith Family"
The above mentioned program
changes the time of our Preparatory
Service. 1t will be held the following
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Years ago it
was customary to have Saturday
afternoon meeting before the Holy
Communion. We can work with this
unusual service in mind, if we make
an earnest effort.
During these services Of PentecOst
we plan to remember our boys who
have gone to camps and National De-
fense Training Schools, and those
likely to be called in the near future.
1t will surely encourage them to learn
that we join in special prayers for
their protection and guidance.
