. McKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Today'S hand came in for lot of discussion at the recent Van derbilt Tournament, which was won by the Mayfair Bridge Club team. Seven clubs was ice cold. At both tables North opened the bidding with two clubs and South responded with two no trump, although I be- lieVe both sides were playing the system which requires the response of three no trump over a two-bid if you hold trick and half, with out an ace.
 From that point on. the bidding differed slightly. When Tobias Stone and Alvin Roth held the North-South cards, Stone bid three clubs and Roth in the South bid four hearts. All passed and Roth made five hearts.
 At the other table, Sergt. Phil Abramsohn sat North and Sergt. Morrie Ellis South. Over the two no trump bid, Abramsohn bid three diamonds, then Ellis bid four hearts. Abramsohn bid four no trump in the North and Ellis went to six hearts-and was set two tricks.

- TTES12Z 7;; f7 Rsl;l3sE&l1 Black Market Seeks Void Ration Stamps
By BETTY MACDONALD NEA Staff CorreSnOndent

Washington, May 27- Don't let any soft-spoken storekeeper talk you out of those expired red or blue point-ration stamps you may have left over.
 It may sound perfectly sweet of him to casually take your book and tear out a whole row of expired points and purr: Lets me tear these stamps out, Mrs. Smith. You can't use 'em, anyWay!'
 Remember, the butcher and the Storekeeper can use those points long after you can. He can turn them in for additional merchandise that may be black-marketed the following month. You'll lose out in the end when the supplies are re- duced and even the storekeeper can't get food
 To combat this cozy little black market deal OPA soon will launch an educational campaign. urging housewives to destroy all unsued stamps themselves.
 SAVED BY A HOLIDAY
 Your red stamps marked were scheduled to expire May 31, a Memorial Day holiday in most northern states. To avoid the in evitable rush, OPA has decided that J shall be valid through June 30 for 16 points. K is valid May 30; L, June 6; M, June 13, and N, June 20. Your number Is in the War Ration Book gets you new pair of shoes after June IS.

emphasized the fact that the sue cess of the national food preserVa- tion program actually begins with the quality of the food preserved. Unless the vegetables and fruit grown are of good quality, the pre- served food cannot be. In order to get vegetables and fruit in their prime they should be harvested as they mature If allowed to become over-ripe, tough and woody, they will be inefficient as food when canned.

BROKE EGG RACKET

The War Food Administration recently clamped down on an at tempt to rig the egg market. Many dealers, wholesalers and distributors have been accused of rushing abnormal supplies of spring eggs into cold storage in order to hold them for higher prices in the fall
 However, the WFA ordered that no eggs may move into storage after May 20th, and that no egges may be kept in storage after June 18th, with certain exceptions which do not affect the supply of eggs for the consumer at this time of year.

CITY FAIRGROUNDS TO OPEN JUNE 30

Waterbury's playgrounds will be opened officially June 30, and stay open until Sept. 4, announced Park Supt. James J. Curtin, today. This extends the opening a week longer than usual. MT. Curtin said that he is confronted with the problem of obtaining dependable supervisors, as most of the college students have taken positions in defense factories. However, he expressed the hope of obtaining the assistance of some school teachers and perhaps police and firemen. He explained that he is eager to obtain men who have full-time jobs elsewhere to work part time in the parks, both to get exercise and to make extra money, as well as aiding the city in it's present problem.
