again today.
CThe German official news
agency, DNB, confirmed the evacua-
ton of NovoroSsiSk according to
plan, saying that all of the city's
military installations had been de-
stroyed by the retreating Nazis)
NovorOSsiSk and the DeSna river
were two of the anchor points on
the line along which the Germans
hoped to halt the Soviet summer
offensive and their fall indicated
that Nazi talk of Withdrawals "ac-
cording to plan" had become an
empty phrase, Soviet reports said.

This is the second of @ series of hands given to me by Harry J. Fishbein, who is associated with the Mayfair Bridge Club in New York. think they are six of the outstanding rubber bridge hands of the year. Today's hand is worthy of being selected as World Bridge Olympic hand.
 Of course East,s bid of one heart was a psychic, and was shown up when North doubled two hearts and South bid three hearts. The open ing lead of the jack of clubs was pretty clearly marked as a single ton. Declarer could not lead 8 trump, as West would win, under lead his diamond ace and then get club ruff, defeating the contract. So the declarer hoped to find West with the jack of spades. If you knew West had the jack of spades. would you take the finesse? If you did, you would lose the contract.
 DecIarer made the hand by cash ing the ace and king of spades, lead- ing the queen of spades and dis carding a diamond from his own hand and now of course East knew that his partner held the jack of spades. so when the ten was led, East did not bother to ruff. and now declarer made the nice play of throwing away his other diamond.

War Brides Shouldn't Revert
 To- 'Pampered Daughter Status

her father gave her = for buying the things she wants.
 Chances are she things she de- serves both sympathy and admira- ton. It is easy for her to drainatize her position as lonely young wife. The truth is she hasn't any busi- mess sitting at home doing nothing when she could be holding down a job. For she is just what the war plants need. She is young and strong and she has no responsi- bilities to tie her to her home town
 Besides, her marriage would stand a better chance of working out after the war if she were working and saving for the future, instead of sitting around spending every cent her husband Is able to send her.
 BAD FOR EVERYBODY
 So parents who encourage or even allow a married, childless daughter to come home and sit for the dura- tion aren't doing their country, their daughter or her husband any good.
 They may go around saying how nice it is to have Mary home with them. But if their sons and their daughters husband are away fight ing, they should expect their daughter to be doing her part also. And if they let her know they ex- pect her to go to work - she prob ably will.
 It won't be as easy as sitting out the war, but she will find that it is a lot more satisfying.
