first session OF the event Tuesday
evening and asked for a substi-
tute, saying that she would be
there Wednesday evening.
She then took the train to
Washington, but the train from
Washington would, not get her to
Richmond in time for the second
session and while the planes were
crowded, she finally persuaded the
airline officials to get her q seat.
Arriving at Richmond she found
the taxis on strike and had to
thumb a ride to the hotel, but she
got there just in time to take her
place for the second session
Wednesday night.
When the third session was over
Thursday evening, she and her
Cleveland partner, playing their
first major event together, had
come close to the championship.
The persis, ,nce Of this girl from
Kansas City is shown in the fol-
lowing hand.
Ann Bryant, sitting West. dou-
bled negatively twice and finally
bid the opponents suit in an effort
to make East disclose whether he
held four hearts. She could always
r,.n out In clubs In case East re-
sponded with any other suit or
no trump.
After the heart bid was Wrung
from East at the level Of four,
North thought lie had a sure-lirc
double. His hearts should win
two tricks, as they did, and he did
not see how declarer could win
ten tricks with both the diamonds
and Spades against him. The I'M
bid club suit that turned up in
dummy was surprise and a
shock, OF course Feinberg made
the contract easily.

Douglas Dam at cambridge, Tenn
had large caverns under it and was
almost impossible of successful con-

Valley Authority quickly replied that
the huge dam would be completed
on the scheduled date, March /.
Senator McKellar told the Senate
that IVA Director David E. Lilien-
thai had caused the War Production
Board to halt work on certain other
dams to concentrate on Douglas in
an attempt to fill the caves with
concrete.
The Senator, who has always OPP

examined as yet" but had received
information that one of the un-

engineer of the IVA, said in a
statement made public for him here:
Foundation conditions are little

Sales Techniques Are
Outlined at Meeting

Instruction in the technique Of
ringing doorbells was combined with
sales talk for voluntary meat ration
ing at Victory Volunteer meetings
covering 1s areas yesterday after
noon and night.
At each meeting the program was
shared by a nutritionist and Vic
tory Volunteer trainer. The former
told the volunteers why the share
the-meat program was necessary.
The latter advised the volunteers
how to approach householders.
How we'll the volunteers have
learned their lessons will be demo-
strated later this week, when the
first Of 1000 of them visit their
neighbors to enlist cooperation in
the voluntary plan.
Short Visits Asked.
The volunteers were advised
against antagonizing people with the
warning, IF We can't get co-opera-
tion voluntarily We can't get CO.
operation" They we're also told to
keep their visits short. explain the
mission. enlist cooperation. leave
the meat chart and bow out with
thanks.
On meat rationing itself, they were
told that the voluntary plan is to
condition people to any compulsory
rationlng that may come, as we'll as
to save available supplies until the
machinery of meat rationing can be
set up.
Nutritionists emphasized various
methods of stretching" meats. serv-
ing substitutes and making the most
use of non critical poultry, variety
meats and fish.
Mrs. Henry E. Ewing, District nu-
triton chairman said the share the
meat campaign here calls for giving
up only about one bite of meat day.
Alternate Facts Available.
Neither the taste, the variety nor
the nutritive value of home menus
will be adversely affected by adher-
ence to the 2i2 pounds of meat a
week for each adult. Mrs. Ewing
said. if good use is made of he large
number of alternate foods available
in Washington i'll adequate guam

Explaining how she arrived at her
"bite a day" estimate. Mrs Ewing
said the per capita consumption of
meat for the past decade has aver
aged l43 pounds year Under
the conservation program. each
adult is allowed l30 pounds a year.
On a daily basis. she pointed out,
this is a reduction of only four
sevenths of an ounce, just one good
bite.
In adjusting the home menu to
the share-the-meat program. she
said, householders should remember
to make meat go further by utilizilg g
every bit of meat. All The meat
broth should be used to season other
dishes, a wide variety of meats in
different combinations should be
used and meat alternates contain
ing the same food elements should
be utilized, she added.
Ways of adjusting the menu are
set forth in pamphlets which the
Victory Volunteers will leave with
the houSeholders they visit.
