UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Three questions appear in letter
written by a 12-year-old boy, Hart
Bergman.
What is a squall?" he asks
what is a tornado? Have any avt-
ators ever tried to fly to Mars or
Venus?"
One kind of squall is a baby's
cry but I'm sure Hart was thinking
Of another kind A strong, sudden
gust of wind is known as a squall.
Often, but not always, rain comes
along with the wind. Those who
manage sailboats must watch out for
squalls.
A tornado is a special kind of
storm. 1t is storm with whirling
wind. Another names for it is
"whirlwind," and sometimes it is
called a ''twister."
When a tornado breaks, people
can see a cloud, more or less in the
shape of & funnel, hanging down.

or almost touch, the ground.

hundreds of miles an hour, but the

people good warning to get out of

There's nothing particularly note
worthy about the play. South had
to lose the aces of spades and dia-
monds together with one club trick
But he was able TO discard one of
dummy's club losers on a high dia-
mond subsequently ruf1ng a dia-
mond and a club in the dummy.
But the bidding presents two
points of particular interest. After
North's raise to two hearts, indi-
eating heart support but a hand
without great strength. South was
still mildly interested in getting to
game He could have indicated that
fact by bidding three hearts-invit-
ing another raise by North. But
his choice of three diamonds was
far better. 1t was just as effective
way of indicating his continued
interest and had the further ad-
vantage of indicating precisely
where he would most welcome a
little help.
The second interesting point was
Eorth's jump to four hearts Prob
ably North would have passed if
South had simply bid three hearts
And North would have bid only
three hearts if South's second bid
had been three clubs. But after
South's actual bid OF three dia-
monds, North could be sure that
he had substantial help not only in
trump. but also in South's side suit.
The diamond queen was only slight
strength, but that strength was
where 1t counted.

Percival Asks
Firing Of Lash

NY seN'b&
CAPITOL. Olympia - Demand
for the removal OF DR.. Frederick
M. Lash as head Of the state
custodial school at Buckley was
made in the senate Tuesday.
The demand WAS made by Ia
coma Sen. Monty Percival. making
the move as a point Of parlia-
mentary inquiry. He said that
conditions at the institution were
"intolerable" and had continued
despite protests made to Olaf
Olsen, director OF the state de-
partment Of finance, budget and
business.
He said that he called upon
Olsen two weeks ago and dc
handed that he remove this
man." Sen. Percival, who did
not elaborate on the conditions
he mentioned, declared he told
Olsen, under whose depart
nent the Institution operates,
that he would make the de-
mand directly 10 Gov. LAngiie
unless he gets action.
Percival said he had made the
charges repeatedly. He declared
that similar conditions in the state
hospital for the insane at Medical
Lake finally were remedied by a
Spokane county grand jury, which
discharged institutional heads
there.
Are we in Pierce county going
TO have TO call a grand jury to
remove this man." he asked.
Percival's inquiry to the senate
went unanswered. and he later
said he WAS planning an appeal
TO the governor.
