I'd Moonlight
Skating Party
Set al Arcadia
RoHin' Around
BY MARGARET RUSSELL

A month ago Orville Godfrey
staged a moonlight skating party
for war workers at Arcadia. AZ
the time he was slightly skeptical
as 10 whether il would make a
hit or not.
But the way the war workers
turned out for the party left nc
doubt in his mind. So he'll have
another on Saturday night. You
don't have 10 be a war worker &c
get in. Skating starts at midnight
and lasts until you're tired anc
want to go home.
For the benefit Of the young
sters (boys and girls under 49,
Varsity Gardens holds special
races each Saturday afternoon al
400.
jefferson Beach Rollercade has
inaugurated club night the third
Wednesday of each month. The
next meeting Will be on St. Pat
riek's Day.
Arena Gardens hit the jackpot
for attendance again Tuesday
when a big party from Sweetest
Heart of Mary High School
jammed the place.
AS mentioned before March 16
is the date Of the next big benefit
al Arena Gardens. This time it's
for women in service. The entire
proceeds will be turned over 10
the army and navy civilian ad-
visory committees to be used for
publicity purposes by the WAVES,
SPARS, WAACs and marines.
Representatives of all these
groups will be there. A short re-
cruiting speech will be given by
a member of each unit. Members
of the Detroit Figure Skating
Club will give a short exhibition
and therell be public skating
before and after the show.

Uncle Rays Corner

When Daniel Defoe was led to
the piliory he was about AZ years Of
age. The hours he spent in the pill
lory played a part in bringing back
freedom of the press to England.
Seeing that the prisoner was
cheered by the crowd, officers Of the
government decided it might be
mistake to punish writer in that
way.
Defoe was known to the London
public at that time, but his fame
had not spread very far. For the
most part he had spent his time
writing pamphlets about politics
and religion.
In later years Defoe became moro
busy with his pen. Month after
month, year after year he kept on
turning out new books and PAM

West opened the spade king and
continued with the ace which South
ruffed. Two rounds sufflced to draw
the trumps and declarer then led the
ace and another heart. He agonized
long over what card to play from
| dummy after West had produced a
small one, but as you can see 1t did
not matter. East held both the
king and jack and declarer had to
| lose two heart tricks. Who were
tine criminals and what were their
| crimes?
First Of all you might charge
North with a misdemeanor for his
free raise to two clubs, but his of
tense is mild, indeed
South was guilty of contract muir
der, because after West led two high
spades 1t was possible to insure
against losing two heart tricks lust
by giving up one more spade. South
should have won the second trump
lead in dummy and played the spade
ten, discarding one Of his losing
hearts. West could then win the
trick, but Souths other heart loser
would go on the spade nine and
East-West would have gotten lust
two spade tricks.
West faces two charges, contribu-
tory negligence and accessory before
the TACT. 1t was his second spade
lead which handed declarer his
golden opportunity. West might
nave reasoned that with two spades
declarer would probably leave in the
three-no-trump contract. Any shift
by West after winning the first trick
would have made it impossible for
South to make game.

has a weak hand you would prefer

you want him to bid a slam only on

phlets. Sometimes he used "pen
name" instead of his own. In other
cases he left out any mention Of the
name of the author.
No one knows the exact number
OF his books, long and short, but 1t
seems there were at least 100 of
them and possibly as many as $50,
Several proved of special impor-
lance, being very we'll written and
well received by the public.
One Of Defoe's books was 1.-THE
Journal of the Plague Year" An
other was Capt. Singleton" and
still another had the odd title of
The Political History OF the
Devil"
OF all the works of Defoe, no other
can compare with the one he called
The Life and Strange Surprising
Adventures of Robinson Crusoe." It
was published in 1719, and went
through four printings in the first
four months. Since then the story
has gone through hundreds of print
ings and new editions. and it Is COM
monty known to the world by the
simple title of Robinson Crusoe."
The idea for Robinson Crusoe"
seems to have come to Defoe from
talks he had with a Scottish sailor
named Alexander Selkirk. This sailor
he met In Bristol, and from his lips
he heard strange news Of life on
desert island. Selkirk had been on
the island for four years and four
months.
In writing the story Of "Robin-
son Crusoe," Defee made many
changes from the account which
came from Selkirk's lips. He spoke
Of an island north of South Amer
lea instead of west of that conti-
nent, and he added many adven-
| lures which Selkirk never had. To
large extent, Robinson Crusoe'
is a work of fiction, but there is a
good deal of truth mixed with the
| fiction.

1t Is easy to say Of any one sue
cessfully engaged in business that
he knows his business from the
ground up." It Is lovely cliche
tailored especially well for hotel
managers. but only rarely can 1t be
applied in its literal sense. Mr..
Tom Deveau, overseer of the Lee
Sheraton with its Dubonnet Room
ana other components, Is one of
the rare instances. In fact, 1t may
be said that Mr.. Deveau knows his
particular trade from a cinderblock
up.
Mr.. Deveau's very first Job was
bricklaying. and today he displays
about as much pride flashing his
HodcarrierS' Union card as he does
his degree from Cornell University.
