CHIMNEY FIRES KEPT
The DEPARTMENT BUSY

Chimney fires occurring during the
extreme cold weather have kept the
local firemen busy. The two resulting
in the greatest damage over the week
were in the homes of E. Farrell Bowen
on Front Street and Primrose John
son on Walnut.
On Saturday the firemen were call
ed to the Bowen home to extinguish
a fire which had started in the CHM
ney but which had penetrated the
walls, the flames causing a rather
stubborn resistance to the efforts of
the firemen. The same situation pre-
vailed in the Johnson home on Sun
day and hole had to be cut through
the plastering in order to fight the
flames.
The firemen were equal to the oc-
casion and both homes were saved
with as little damage done to the in
terror as possible.
Four other minor fires occurred Sun
day in the colored section of the
town.

The first question many ask
about U. S. Civil Service jobs is,
Must + have political pulp"
No pull is needed to get Civil
Service job. You get it on merit
alone, competing with others in a
fair test. Requirements also are rea-
Sonable.
Age? The age range for many
Civil Service jobs is wide. A Junior
Typist at $1,260 year may start
at 18-or SO! A Building Guard
may be 81 to so. In many defense
jobs men as old as 81 are taken.
Or college education? That is only
required by Civil Service when the
work demands it.
To be a forest and field clerk at
81 300 a year, a letter carrier at
$1,700 or motor vehicle dispatcher
at $1,620, there are no special edu-
cational requirements.
OF course, for college graduates
who have specialized in a profession
there are some very fine jobs. Sal
aries start at $4,000, may rise to So
900.
There are good U. S. Civil Service
jobs In a wide variety of fields. Our
32-page booklet lists U. s. Civil
Service jobs, salaries, requirements
and type of test given for each. Ex-
plains merit system, vacation, sick
leave, other Civil Service benefits.

Americas Card Authority

Before the national tournament
at Richmond l predicted Peter
Leventritt and Sam Rossant of New
York would be found near the top.
They won the national open team
of-four title, paired with Mrs. A.
M. Sobel of New York and Mrs.
Wilkinson Wagar of Atlanta, Ga
This victory will give Mrs. Sobel
not only the title of the World's
No. woman bridge player, but
also the title of the No. l player
for 1941, including BON men and
women.
Mrs. Sobel is keen in diagnosing
the situation from the play ana
the fall of the cards. She is dead
ly on defense, often uncovering
hidden weaknesses in the declarers
hand.
In today's hand she opened the
10 of hearts, dummy played the
ace and led low spade. North
played the nine and Mrs. Sobel
won with the queen.
She then asked herself, "Why
does declarer make no effort to
establish his diamond suit by ruff
ing? Why does he lead trumps?
He cannot have a diamond holding
that he counts as solid, since I
have the queen. 1t looks as though
he is counting on the club suit in
stead, SO he probably has the ace.
This reading checks with the fall
of the jack of hearts; North prob
ably had five spades, five dia-
monds, one heart and a double-ton
ace of clubs"
A heart lead would have made
the play easy for the declarer. But
Mrs. Sobel made the embarrassing
lead OF club. North won with the
ace.
Still intent on his plan, North
laid down the 10 Of spades, willing
to concede a second trump trick in
order to save dummy's jack for re-
entry. Mrs. Sobel played the king
of spades and led the second club
Now declarer could not avoid the
loss of two more tricks, two dia-
monds or one diamond and a club
ruff by East.
