making his contract it wasn't such
= bad slam. I was West and
opened the club ace. No other suit
looked inviting so I led second
club, which was just as well because
any other lead would have given
declarer the hand without having
to guess which f1nesse to take. AS
it was, he was able to discard either
two spades or two diamonds and
all he had to do was guess which
suit to discard and which to f1nesse.
ut took three rounds OF trumps
to pull East's and in order not to
give South any clues I discarded a
low card in each OF the three side
suits. Without any hesitation South
led a spade and f1nessed the queen.
OF course, this succeeded and all I
could do was ask him how he had
guessed to try the spade instead
Of the diamond.
"His answer was the burnup oh,
he said, as soon as you threw the
spade seven knew you didn't have
the king In other words, South
made the hand just because my
lowest spade was the even-spot."

Uncle Roy's Corner

Wnue was cnACClng with James
r. Law, the mayor OF Madison, Wis,
he told me about some letters he
had been getting from Capt. James
II. Mackin, an American Army Of
flcer In New Guinea. The letters
sounded 50 interesting that I asked
the mayor to lend them to me for
possible use in our column and he
kindly agreed to do 30. Here are
paragraphs from one of them:
THE natives of New Guinea are
both Papuans and MelAnesians, but
to us they are Fuzzy Wuzzies," or
simply 'Fuzzies" They used to be
cannibals, but now we are thankful
that their cannibal customs have
passed away.
"The Fuzzies have the grandest
hair-do's you ever saw. Their kim
ky hair sticks straight up in tbs
air from four to IA inches. It looks
as II 1t were as stiff as steel wool,
but it really Is soft and silky. Many
Of them put some kind Of dye In
their hair.
"All OF the Puzzles have Sits eut
IN their ears, and in the slits they
place rings, flowers. bits Of palm
and other decorations. We intend
to learn their language, but now
our only native words are 'Davanna
heeda?' meaning How much?'
THE dress of the natives Is in
teresting. The men wear q sort Of
short sarong, and the girls and
women wear grass skirts. The boys
had been looking for an island filled
with Dorothy Lamours, but they
were disappointed. The features OF
the women are dark and rough, and
! the majority Of them are tattooed
with blue lines.
"All the natives go barefoot, and
the skin on the bottom of their
feet is like leather. The women
have a straight carriage, a result
no doubt of carrying things on
their heads. They also put packs
on their backs, and in moving they
transport the household goods. The
men come wandering along behind,
carrying some small object, or else
nothing at all.
Aside from the mosquitoes, the
rain, the heat and the not-too-
varied diet, this is not bad coun-
try. 1t is just like the movies
tall coconut trees swaying in the
breeze, with natives climbing them
like monkeys.
Since we are in the malaria
belt, We take pill of atabrine after
supper each day. The standard
after-supper crack is Praise the
Lord pass the atabrine!"
Other notes written by Capt.
Mackin about New Guinea are so
interesting that I plan to publish
them next Saturday.

100, 900 First Aiders
 Organizing In State
State Defense Stmges Announces Outline of Plans for
 Meeting Air Raid Emergencies; Purposes Outlined

town who will supervise the plar in their respective communities un- der the local chief of Emergency Medical services. One of the chie1 objectives of the new program is tc organize first aid closer to the scenes of accidents. First aiders ir the neighborhood would be called upon to assist injured until the ar- rival of casualty station personnel and mobile medical teams.
 Connecticut is the first state in the nation to attempt such a plan according to State Police Officer Harry Taylor, who is in charge of first aid instruction for the State Defense council. In several field tests of the plan last fall it was shown that in cases of widespread emergencies the injured received as- sistance within five minutes by a neighbor in the vicinity who had first aid training. Officer Taylor pointed out that such treatment would be of great value in instances of serious bleeding wounds.
 First aid executive officers are to be appointed by the local defense councils, subject to the approval of the State Defense Council, ard will operate as part of the local Civilian Defense organization. In commu- mites where the Red Cross has a chapter the first aid executive off, cer may be chosen from the per- sonnel of the Red Cross First Aid committee.
 The general purposes of the new plan are:
 l. To serve the people in the state by giving them greater as- surance that in the event of in- jury they will have a better and quicker chance of recovery.
 2. To organize first aid closer to the scenes of incidents.
 3. To draw into the service of Civilian Defense, and therefore into the local defense organiza- tions, first aiders who are not otherwise attached to the air raid precaution services.
 4. To improve and control first aid performance and promote a greater interest in first aid.
 5. To encourage members of the Connecticut First Aid Field Serv- ice to secure additional training in order to qualify as nurses aides and home nurses.
 First aid executive officers will be responsible for setting up and devel- opirg the plan for more effective first aid in their communities; ap- pointing and supervising zone first aid captains and approving the ap- poinment of precinct first aid cap- tains; arranging for monthly prac- tice drills; training of additional first aiders; promoting refresher courses; and having general super vision of first aid in cooperation with the American Red Cross.
