Gin Rummy Lesson:
Gin Rummy Lesson:
Play Cautiously
With Shutout
Threat Over You
BY JOSEPHINE CULBERTSON
World Famous Authority

Here is one Of the paradoXes
In the game of gin rumny:
1t is the object of each player
TO put himself in a position TO
knock, yet the knocker Is at a
slight disadvantage, arising from
the fact that his opponent may
lay off unmatched cards on his
hand. while the knocker does
not have the privilege of laying
off on his opponents matched
sets.
Yet ii pays 10 knock when the
conditions are right, because the
knocker stands 10 win SO much
more than he can lose.
If he happens TO catch his
opponent, he can win 30 or 40
or so points, while when he
knocks he can never lose much
more than 10 10 u points. even
If the opponent ties or beats him.

BECOME CAUTIOUS

Suppose your opponent has a
score of so or 20 points TO
o. and about half way along IN
the play of a hand you hold this:
900
Spade S-7-6-5-4
Club 3 Diamond . Heart J
After discarding the Jack, you
could knock with a count OF :.
Ordinarily YOU would do this.
But with the threat Of shut
out game hanging over you, you
are more cautious.
Instead Of knocking you hold
on TO your hand. You hope that
you will draw another matching
card. or perhaps an ace, so that
you can knock with a count Of
> or 3.
When your sole object is to
win a hand if possible, you wait
for A count of . or 3.

SEEK TO STOP BONUS

In some parts Of the country
a shutout game is call d a
Schneider" This term is taken
from the game Of skat. The
term shutout' is preferably
used because il is Self-eXplana-
tory and, therefore. much
simpler.
The consequence OF losing
shutout game is that your OPP
ponent gets 2O0-point bonus.
instead of the Hotpoint bonus
he would get for winning an
ordinary game.
Losing shutout gave is very
costly. Your opponent scores
200 points as bonus and at
least 100 points he has piled up
in winning the game. and 20
points for every hand he has won.
II you can win a single hand.
you save more than 120 of these
points. Your first thought. then,
when faced with the loss of a
shutout game, is somehow 10
WIN a hand.

WHEN NOT TO KNOCK

There is, however, one situa-
ton in which you forego the
possible big score you could get
by knocking, and hold on until
you have a considerably lower
total than you would ordinarily
need 10 knock.
This situation arises when
your opponent has piled up a
fairly large score and you have
yet 10 win a hand.
Let us suppose, in a case OF
this sort. that the score is
something like ga 10 0 against
you. If your bad luck continues,
and your opponent reaches the
100-point game before you have
won a hand. he will have Won

EIGHTH ARMY WITHIN
 250 MILES OF TRIP0LI

LONDON = Britain's ighth Army advancing along the rim of the Med iterranean, was reported within 25O miles of Tripoli. Marshal Er- win RommeI's fleeing troops evi- dently intend to cross into Tunisia for a final stand in the battle of Africa.
 The Axis was reported moving men from Tripoh and every Liby- an base available to effect a stani in Tunisia, and were reported eseu withdrawing men and materl from it's imperiled Russian front in an effort to hold the French P#o- tectorate opposite Sicily and the loe of Italy.
 These moves followed an import ant Axis strategy conference carly in the week at Adolf Hitlers head quarters.
 The Axis concentration in Turis- ia as a major battle-ground, appear ed logical because of it's proximity to Axis mainland bases in Italy

JAP SUB BASE AT KISKA BOMBED

WASHINGTON-American planes heavily bombed Japan's submarine base on Kiska Island in the Aleu- tians Sunday, the Navy reported, while in the South Pacific Army Flying Fortresses executed new raids on the enemy airfield at Nun da in the Solomons and damaged at least one cargo ship near Bougain- vile Island.
 Kiska submarine base, the en- emy's much bombed North Pacific outpost, was strafed and bombed without opposition, the Navy said.
 At Munda, on New Georgia Is. land, flying fortresses struck Mon day for the twelfth consecutive day and informed quarters believed it had been very badly damaged. The Japanese cargo ships were found by flying fortresses near Kahila in the Buin, or southwestern area of Bou- gainville, about ITO miles from the American airfield at Guadalcanal. One direct hit and several near mis- ses were scored on these ships and the communique said one was settl- ing by the stern when last seen.

ALLIES HAVE AERIAL SUPERIORITY IN TUNISIA

LONDON-American and British pilots held aerial superiority over the Axis in Tunisia at present but Allied Commando troops who scout ed the enemys positions up to the edge of Bizerte. this week, return ed with a warning that the Ger mans were strongly entrenched, as they found out when they bumped into enemy outposts.
 Both sides were sending out pat rols and moving up men and equip ment for a resumption of heavy land fighting that will decide the battle of Africa.
 Far to the east, in Libya, the Italian high command admitted the British Eighth Army had reached Sirte, 180 miles west of Fl Agheila in it pursuit of Marshal RommePs troops headed for TripoH, 250 beyond. It was expected RommeIs eventual destination was Tunisia, there to join General Walther Ne rings forces in final effort to re- tain an Axis foothold in Africa.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, AUS TRALIA-The Allied attack against the two remaining Japanese strong positions in the Buna area of New Guinea is making steady headway despite the enemy's do or die" re- sistance, General McArthur's early cOmmunique said Main airdromes in the sector have been captured. The attack, the eommunique said, with coordinated support of tanks and artillery and aviation are mak- ing steady headway." A Japanese section of heavy bunker-type strong points, with supporting and iRter- connecting emplacements of con crete and steel, was over run and a wedge driven into the enemy's main defense system.
 Far up the coast Allied heavy bOmbers raided the harbor at Fen schafen, destroying two medium sized supply cargo ships. The build ings area was machine gunned from low altitude and fires started. the communique said.
 On the Burma front, British troops and American bombers struck at Japanese western-most bases. From China, Brig. Gen. Chen nault's Sky Dragons dumped tons of heavy explosives onto a big Japanese airfield and military ware house at Lashio on the old Burma supply road. Not a bomber was lost and not a Japanese fighter was encountered, reported J. Rielly o. Sullivan, Associated Press cores pendent, who accompanied the raid CTS.

 White in
 Wrangell

Wrangell is observing a truly white Christmas this year in the midst of one of the heaviest falls of the fluffy white substances in several seasons. As one resident put it, tits a shoveling good Christ mas.
 Highlights of the Christmas week observance were services at the re- speetive churches, school programs, Elks-Legion party for the youngsters at the Coliseum Wednesday after noon at the close of school and the Salvation Army dinner for service men Wednesday night at the Civic Center. (See story elsewhere in to- days paper.)
 Curtailed by war in the matter of Christmas wares. local stores had there usual lighted features in keep- ing with the traditional custom, and while outside lighting was curbed the Christmas spirit prevailed with lighted trees in many of the win doWs around town.
 Wrangell women set aside Christ mas day for the service men and ev= cry man in uniform-navy blue and army khaki - was to be a guest for Christmas dinner at some home with turkey and all the trimmings.

HERE'S HOW YULE SEASON
 AFFECTED SERGEANT JIM
By Jim =Kerstetter

By Jim Kerstetter Wrangell is a great old town The people there are never down, They work to win with all their might And all of them are just all right.
 * * * Wrangell has some new M. P's. Who have to watch their ABC's, Cause if they don't they'll go up North And there they'll pace both back and forth.
 * * Wrangell has a dandy jail; The locks on it are made by Yale The beds are soft, the blankets warm; There's one thing wrong; the bugs, they swarm. Wrangell has a Coast Guard troop, And Bill St. Johns the lead ing scoop. He goes around about the town, A-running all the trouble down. It bothers him both day and night, And now poor Bills sorry
 sight. He hardly gets to sleep at all-- But the M. P.'s get the credit all. The Guard at Wrangell has a Hansen too, And there's not thing that he won't do. One night on the wharf when the boat was in, He was kissing the girls with lots of vim. He was up on the gangway hanging tight, When the Captain gave him a woeful fright. The Skipper said, with a mighty roar,
 tAVast, ye lubber, get your self ashore. So Peter dropped, with a faint "aye aye", And stood there watching with a tear in his eye. Then the wharf went dark, and the boat pulled away, But Pete had a date for
 Christmas Day.
