CONWAY'S ABSENCE
DELAYS MEETING
COP Town Committee to
Discuss Various Pros
posaIs; Epson in Accord

j. Warren Epson, Republican
state committeeman and former Re-
publican town chairman, said last
night that the Republican town
convention could not take place on
or before June %, despite the fact
that the resolutions adopted by a
committee Of the Young Republi-
can Club requests 1t. In making this
announcement, he said he was
speaking for Republican Town
Chairman Vernon l.. Hall, also.
He added that he was interested
in having a convention to discuss
the proposal made by the Young
Republican Clubs committee, and
added that the last Republican town
convention adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman. Municipal
Court Judge Theobald E. Conway,
chairman, is presently away on his
vacation and is not expected back
before June %. Mr.. Epson said that
he is the only person possessing
the authority to call the convention.
There is no rule that permits
the convention to be called to order
except under those circumstances.
I think there should be conven-
ton called to decide the questions
raised. I certainly am not opposed
to the idea, but it is up to the con-
vention chairman to call it to-
gether,' he said.
Mr.. Epson added that Republic
can Town Chairman Vernon Hall
will call meeting of the Republican
Town Committee this week to dis
cuss the resolutions proposed by the
Young Republican Clubs commit
tee.
One of the recommendations re-
quested the party leaders to estab-
liSh a $4,000 fund for the purpose Of
founding permanent Republican
headquarters and employ full
time secretary to help make voters.
Other recommendations also re-
quested Mr.. Epson and Mr.. Hall
and the other three republican state
committee members from the city,
to arrange for a meeting of the
state committee members.
Mr.. Upson stated bluntly that the
50, 500 campaign fund recommended
isn't sufficient, since more than that
is raised every year for general ex-
penses. out of $4,000, or whatever
fund is raised, we couldn't afford to
pay anyone who would be any good.
If we spent the money for that we
wouldn't have any money for any
thing else and there are a lot Of
necessary expenses that have to be
met in any campaign.
However. Mr.. Epson said he is
anxiously waiting the reaction OF
the town committee when the meet
ing is called by Chairman Hall
some time this week.

SATURDAY TALK.

An astronomer, who reads our
column, suggests that I give some
further notes about the markings
on the moon, including the shadows.
The shadows, as I said some weeks
ago. are cast by mountains. The
moon gets its light from the sun,
and the mountains cast shadows
there. just as they do on earth. The
shadows are the darkest markings
on the moon and can be seen very
plainly with the help of telescopes.
1t is the shadows which tell us
the height Of the mountains on the
moon. Men of science find the
length of the shadows and then use
the science of geometry. Learning
the length of the shadow and the
angle of the sun at a certain time,
they can figure out the height of the
mountain.
Some mountain peaks on the
moon have a height of between 3
and miles. There also are thou
sands of "craters," and some of them
have extremely deep holes in the
middle of them.
Few shadows exist on the moon
when it is full, and the shadows at
that time are short. AS result, the
moon is much brighter when it is
full, and a square mile of the sur
face reflects more light than at half
moon or crescent moon.
Yet, even at full moon. some parts
are brighter than others. This is
due to differences in the surface.
There are vast plains in the midst
OF the moons mountains. These
plains are broken in many places by
craters, but they are otherwise low
and level"
The plains and the mountains
differ in their power to reflect SUM-
light to us. Some parts of the plains
are brownish in color. but others
have the rejecting power of white
sand.
Differences in brightness Of the
moons surface may lead people to
call certain parts dark" and others
light" even at full moon. These

the moon. In my boyhood I was
told about "the man in the moon"
and actually saw what looked like a
big face, but he didn't have any
legs, arms or body!
Since Easter is almost here, I
shall give note in answer to an
other letter. A boy asks me to ex-
plain why we have eggs for this
| feast.
The custom appears to have
started because of the fact that an
egg Is a symbol, or sign, of new
life. Easter comes in the season
when new life springs up in the
north temperate zone. Eggs have
been given to children at Easter
and have been exchanged among
adults for hundreds of years.

A Lost Trick

A Lost Trick
At match point duplicate it is less
important to bid every slam that
can be made than to play the cards
so as to secure every possible trick.

this point.

In every case the heart king was
the opening lead Declarer ruffed,
entered dummy with club and re-
turned low trump. The king went
to the ace-and now the eight de-
clarers who played the South cards
split into two equal camps. Four
of them automatically laid down an
other trump honor to draw the out
standing trump. Then they led a
club, ruffed heart, ruffed another
club CWest's queen falling by the
wayside), ruffed third heart, and
cashed the jack of clubs, discarding
a diamond from dummy. Now they
cashed the diamond ace and ruffed
a diamond, used their last trump on
the forced heart return, and con-
ceded the thirteenth trick. These
declarers all won II tricks-and
each earned Ia match points out
Of the possible 7 on the board!
The four other declarers earned
five and one-half match points each
They did not rob dummy of an en-
try by drawing the second round of
trumps with an honor. They prop
erly used dummy's nine spot for
that purpose, and by being able to
ruff out the heart suit while retain
ing an eventual entry to dummy,
they easily brought home all 13
tricks.
Even small slam was unbiddable,
requiring as it did excellent
breaks, but that was no excuse for
losing trick in the play.
