ABOUT 10 DAYS ago an
announcement from Washington
stated that all aircraft firms and
aircraft supply firms. working ex-
clusively ON war contracts, had
been ordered not to release quar-
terly reports for fear of revealing
secret Information. This affects
several Detroit firms.
There's a good story behind the
ruling. ;
Three West Coast firms are en-
tering a period of dwindling order
backlogs with question of replace
ment orders somewhat In doubt.
They approached the war and
navy departments with the sugges-
ton that II would be inadvisable
to list contracts on hand or give
out information on a quarterly
basis because il would enable the
enemy 10 size up the amount of
business being placed and also pro-
ducton. -
Ever agreeable to anything re-
stricting information. the govern
ment agencies gave enthusiastic
response and the above order was
the result.

1t really isn't a bit too soon to
look into that matter of a puppy
for Christmas. Most of the better
kennels report that they are either
sold out already or are going into
the Christmas season with much
smaller stocks than usual. Since
the demand for puppies has been
increasingly great since the declara-
tion of war, and as the weeks before
Christmas are always those of the
heaviest buying, that means that
you are very likely to be disap-
pointed in getting the puppy you
want unless you make reservation
very, very soon. Most kennels will
hold dogs from now until Christmas
upon payment of a deposit.
In choosing that Christmas pup
do be careful to select a puppy of
a breed that will fit into your house
hold. All young pups are cute and
cuddlesome. A ST. Bernard puppy
looks like a plush teddy bear when
young, but he more nearly resem-
bles fair-size pony when you put
the grown dog into a three-room
apartment. Moreover, he feels just
as uncomfortable as a pony would
in similar surroundings.
On the other hand, a Chihuahua
would feel anything but happy if he
were put in an outdoor kennel on
some large country farm. If you
are buying dog for an old lady
suffering from arthritis, for Pete's
sake, don't give her a terrier that
seems made of fine wire springs
Or, if you are going to give a dog
to a real boys boy. don't present
him with pug (Although, prob
ably the youngest exhibitor ever to

North was dealer. A small slam
seemed certain and there were pos
sibilities of grand slam. Every
player who held the hand opened
the bidding with two spades. That
call demanded that partner respond
and all answered with three hearts,
showing the ace of that suit. North
had no heart with which to get
into the hand. but in most cases
continued the bidding until six
spade contract was reached in some
instances and six no trump in others.
Several, however, stopped at three
no trump. Four bid seven spades
and each won seven through the
same mistaken lead.
East was on the spot for an open
ing, and holding the king of hearts,
elected to lead that suit through
South's declared strength. That en-
abled North to discard his losing
club on the ace of hearts, and as
the spades broke favorably he made
seven which was high on the board
as none ventured to bid seven no
trump, which was also made when
a heart was led. The opening of
club would have held Declarer to
six no trump or to six spades, as
would also the lead of either a
diamond or even spade.

At the 1942 annual meeting OF
the Silver Spring Hobby Asso-
citation two important matters were
settled. The meeting was attended
by II members Of the association,
with William F. Carlin presiding.
The first item settled was election
of officers and resulted as follows
William F. Carlin, president; Henry
c. Ransom, vice president; William
B. Marks, secretary; Fred L. Lutes,
treasurer; Mrs. r. A. Brown, w. I.
Green and w. E. Humphrey, di-
rectors.
Mrs. Brown was elected to full
membership in the organization to
take the place of her husband, at
present serving with our armed
forces somewhere abroad
The second important matter dis
cussed was the advisability of hold
ing the annual Silver Spring hobby
show next spring. After some de-
bate and a poll of the members it
was agreed that the show should be
held unless conditions became so
bad as to render it impractical or
impossible. The final decision will
be in the hands of the board of
directors, who have been instructed
to select date for sometime in
April and make all necessary ar
rangements. 1t is expected that
the Armory in Silver Spring can be
obtained for the show, as usual.
1t is felt that this conclusion on
the part of the Silver Spring group
is an important one for Washington
lobbyists. This will be the largest
show in this vicinity this season
and points the way to those smaller
groups who may have been hesi-
tating over the advisability of at
tempting show. The general con-
clusion is that it is well worthwhile.
in improved morale and related
benefits. to carry on these activities
when physically possible.
The fact that the Washington
Ship Model Society is going to hold
its show as usual was mentioned to
the Silver Spring group and may
have had some slight effect on the
decision reached.

The aftermath of the 12th annual
tournament Of the Washington
Bridge League has afforded local
enthusiasts opportunity for much
gossip and comment during the past
week. While the attendance was
not quite as large as it has been
upon previous occasions, due to war
conditions, yet the degree of success
attained was entirely satisfactory to
the management.
The mems pair game actually had
a greater number of players than
the same event last year, but there
was slight falling off of partici-
pants in the other matches. The
local experts were not as well rep
resented as heretofore, but there was
an Unexpectedly large number of
visitors. These came for the most
part from Baltimore, Richmond,
Norfolk, Lynchburg and Annapolis
and even as far away as Harrisburg.
They made a very creditable show
ing. particularly in the open pair
contest which was rated as the
principal event Of the meet.
The visitors were also co-winners
in two of the other four major events
and were well toward the top in all
of them. They shared with local
players in winning the women's pair
and the mems pair games.
Washington talent won the mixed
pair and also the metropolitan event
for The Evening Star Trophy, and
the special award of $25 in War
bonds which went to both members
of the pair, George Kathan and R.
E. Thurreu.
The financial success of the tour
ney was such as to afford a tidy
sum to the Washington Blood Bank.
Every tournament produces sew
eral unusual and so-called freakish
hands and in this respect the recent
tourney was no exception. The deal
which brought forth the greatest
comment was one played in the final
session of the open pair match. The
distribution OF the cards was as

quently leads to a slam. In this
instance, South opened with a two
bid having only one and one-half
tricks. His call, however, showed
his partner that he had six hearts
presumably to the queen-jack, since
he held the ace-king and two others,
and that he also had another full
trick. Having a tremendous dia-
mond hand and no spades a grand
slam in hearts looked to be certain
and he bid it over the six spades
call.
The play of the hand is very
simple, since there are only three
small adversely held hearts and the
diamonds are shown to set up after
the second round.
The hand quite refutes the asser-
ton that it is not possible to reach
a slam by using the weak opening
two bid. Without employing few
except super-experts would venture
a grand slam. Most average play
