counselor. Miss Farnsworth has
been with the union for l6 years
but the service for womens clubs
dates back several years longer.
One way in which Miss Farms
worth has assisted clubs in plan
ming Latin American programs Is
by operating a sort of exchange OF
club yearbo0kS.

When she supplies an organi7a-
tion with suggestions for q Latin

Clubs using motion picture films,
however. must pay express charges.
For parties featuring a Pan
American theme Miss Farnsworth
has additional material. Small sets
OF flags of the various Americas
prove popular luncheon table dec
orations. These. too, are mailed out
in small boxes and must. of course,
be returned. The supply, however,
is not unlimited
For appropriate place cards or
other decoration Miss Farnsworth
frequently suggests that clubs buy
sets of Pan-American postage
stamps. These are artistically ex-
ecuted in four colors. and an album
contains "a views of the American
republics.
Some of the material issued by
the union each year in anticipation
of PAN American Day, such as a
Quiz entitled Ask Me Another"
also is used by many of the clubs.
Material Is Big Help
In Smaller Communities.
Miss Farnsworth said the ma
terial she sends has been especially
helpful in small communities.
Incidentally, she has one mans
club under her wing"-a small
group in Kentucky.
The current study program, de-
veloped AS the good neighbor tour,
has proved the most popular yet
made available.
This program was revised and
enlarged by the Pan-American Un-
ion from a similar project carried
out previously by the General Fed

operation with the union.
In the 16 years she has been en-
gagged in this work Miss Farnsworth
has noted a steadily increasing in
tereSt in Latin America on the part
of clubwomen.
For a long time. she said. virtu-
ally no requests for material were
received between May and August
but now she's kept busy all through
summer.
A native of the Shenandoah VAL
ley of West Virginia, Miss Farms
worth had never visited any of the
Latin Americas until she began her
work with the union. But she's
made several trips since and is en-
thusiastic in her accounts of the
places she had visited.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Asia gave the world a game which
In late years has grown rather popu-
lar In the western world. The game
is badminton, and it grew out OF an
older game called "battledoor and
shuttleoock," or simply shuttle
cock"
A battledoor is 3 racket with a
long handle. Usually it is strung
with catglt, like q tennis racket. A
shuttlecock is q cork with feathers
stuck In 1t, or around the rim. All
the feathers are pointed in the same
direction; they follow the cork when
the ahuttlecock hes through the air
Shuttleoock can be played IN
several ways. Sometimes player
sees how many times he can knock
the shuttlecock into the air, without
letting it fall to the ground.
In another form, two players bat
the shuttlecock back and forth. The
batting may be done with or without
\ net between the players.
This game appears to have been
played in India As much As $500
years ago. In India it had the name
Of "poona."
A form Of shuttlecock was played
IN France about two centuries ago.
A picture made in 1760 shows . lady
and gentleman Of France batting =

The game of Badminton is some

WEST opened the seven OF hearts,
dummy played low. and East was
allowed 10 hold the trick with the
jack. Dummy's heart king won the
nsxt trick, and on the low club re-
turn from dummy South played the
queen, forcing out Vests club ace.
West led another heart, South win
ming with the ace. Declarer then
finessed the nine of spades. losing
TO East's king. East returned a dia-
mond to South's ace, and South re-
turned the nine of clubs. knocking
out East's club king. South then
claimed the rest of the tricks, max
ing his contract.
We assure you that one OF the
players has committed a crime. Try
to spot the crime and criminal be-
fore you read on.
East was the criminal, and his
crime occurred at the third trick.
When dummy led the low club (after
taking the heart king, East should
have played the club king. If South
had intended the club lead as 4
finesse ne would have led the jack
or ten from dummy, 30 East should
have sized up the situation correctly.
Had East won the third trick with
the club king, he could have knocked
out the heart ace while his partner
still had the ace Of clubs as entry
to the established hearts. Then
South would have been unable to
make his contract. for he would
surely lose three hearts, two clubs
and probably the king Of spades rs
