Waterbury Quota Observes
International Birthday

Today the Quota club Of Water
tury Joined In spirit its sister clubs
throughout the world in the cele-
oration Of the twenty-third BIRTH
day Of Quota, International.
Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick, program
chairman, in a radio interview with
Fay Clark Of WATR, discussed the
organization, aims and achieve
ments Of Quota. Beginning in 1919
ut Buffalo, with a group of five
women, the Club now lists 1876 units
from coast to coast in the United
States, In Canada and Australia
The local organization began in
1923.
A classified club for professional
and executive women, its main OBJ
.jective is Community Service. The
program stresses good citizenship
crime prevention, extending friend
ly relations, promoting world peace,
and gaining recognition for the
achievements Of women. Girls serv-
ice work has always been an i'm
portant part Of the local program.
Adolescent girls have been assisted
in musical education, readjustment
due to physical disabilities, and vari-
Gus other difficulties. The club also
maintains a membership in the See
ing Eye Institute of Morristown, N.
j., and contributes to welfare agen-
cies in the city. Each club under
takes the type of service most need
ed In it's community.
In the present crisis Service for
Defense" will be foremost in the
activities. Because nutrition plays
such an important part in the ma
tional program, the local club will
spend some time in the discussion
and study of 1t. At the next meet
ing, Miss Margaret Kennedy, COM
munity nutritionist, will address the
members. This will be followed by
a survey of nutrition activities in
the community.
Later in the year, in compliance
with the Pan-American policy, the
members will study "Our South
American Neighbors". Assisting in
a small way, the club now sends the
Spanish edition of Readers Digest
to q teacher in Lima, Peru, to a
musician in LaPlata, Argentina, and
TO a housewife in Mexico City. In
this way it hopes to promote closer
understanding between North and
South America.
AS its principal contribution to
the observance of the day, the local
unit has purchased $500 Defense
Bond.
President Eff1e Loudermilk OF
'Bluef1eld, West Virginia, in her
proclamation states:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-02-19

What Boone has added to the
standard outline of the Culbertson
System is sidelight on the why's
and wherefores of bidding prac-
tices. For example, my advice to
the average player is to avoid
using opening three bids at all,
unless he is playing with a partner
who can be trusted to make the
proper response. 1t has been my
observation that the average player
likes to open hand with bic
of more than one on the slightest
provocation. This is mistake
one should lean backwards in an
effort to open as many hands as
possible with suit bid of one"
Another excerpt: 1.-THE two 70
trump response to partners open
ing suit bid of one is probably the
most abused bid in bridge"
Today,s hand Is based on one of
his examples. After one spade,
many players with the North hand
will bid two no trump.
That puts South on the spot. He
does not want to deny the no trump.
with his general strength. But per-
haps spades or diamonds are super
Tor to no trump.
He bids three no trump rather
than risk a bad guess as to a suit
[rebid. East opens clubs and declar-
er can cash only eight tricks before
East gets in with the spade ace to
run the balance of the club suit.
If North makes his proper re-
spouse of two diamonds, South
should support the suit. North can
then propose three no trump. South
sees the danger signal in his owIf
hand, the singleton club.
The high cards should be suffi-
cient for five diamonds, and the
contract Is safer. In diamonds the
game Is q lay-down. Even spades is
better than no trump,

The cause Of Christianity has

Better able to understand Chris
tan doctrine than they were 40
years ago, the people of India have
been won over by instruction in
modern medical healing, which has
relieved untold suffering in the
Asiatic country. DR.. Beals said. The
visit Of Chang Kai-Shek to India
has contributed much toward Co
operation between India and China.

WHEREAS, on February 10, 1912.
Quotarians in Australia, Canada,
and the United States will celebrate
the Twenty Third Birthday OF
Quota International.
AND WHEREAS no previous year
In our organizations history has
been fraught with greater danger
to the democratic way of life of our
irrespective countries, nor to the
Quotarian ideals of justice. mutual
understanding, and good will,
AND WHEREAS, it is BETTING In
these days that gifts not be given
ourselves but to others,
I, THEREFORE, call upon every
Quotarian to celebrate Quota In
ternationals Birthday on February
10, 1912, first, by the gift of sacrifice
or service in the defense of her own
country, and, second by the extern
sion of Quotarian ideals of friend
illness and good will to other women
I call especially to the attention
of each member the service she may
render through the purchase of de-
Tense bonds through work for the
recreation Of enlisted men, through
the supply of needs through the
Red Cross, and through all those
community services in each locality
which strengthen the democratic
| way of life.
After the war there must come a
peace. The extension of friendli-
ness, good will and mutual CO.
operation, irrespective of political
party, creed, or national boundary
will prepare the way for this just
peace.
I take pleasure In declaring the
month of February, 1912, and par
ticularly the nineteenth day of the
month, as a time for a sacrificial
personal gift to country and to
Quotarian ideals"

New Haven b

George Avery in his column in the
Hartford Courant chose the Fin
nerty- Hough game from the Bridge
port Travellers match. Hough with
the black pieces fished out Petroff
Defense in which he avoided the
usual drawing variation and caused
Finnerty to lose his way. This
opening has not been seen much
lately in League play due to the
popularity of the Queen side debuts
and certain irregular developments
along the lines of the English OPEN
ing which eventually becomes an
inverted Sicilian. Hough has been
experimenting with the Queens
Gambit and the irregular defenses,
so it is rather surprising to see him
use the Petroff. He is to be con-
graduated in defeating Finnerty.
Hough also has used irregular de-
lenses to P-k4.
The reports of the matches from
other teams of the league are slow
in coming in and we have little to
report right now. We expect more
when Fred Pearson issues his next
bulletin.
