Today's hand occurred in a rub Der bridge game where the North and South players were unfamiliar with each others bidding habits. North, who thought well of his hand, wanted to reach the slam, which can be made in clubs or no trump. However, South misinter- preted the bid, and North, who now wanted to stop at five no trump, had a rather hopeless looking con- tract to play.
 Declarer won the first trick with the ace of diamonds, led a low dia-' mond, and the finesse of the jack held. He now led a low heart, West won with the ace and returned the queen, in order to be able to use small trumps for ruffing. North won and led low club to the queen. The diamond king was cashed. North discarding his last heart. After cashing the ace and king of clubs, two clubs were ruffed in dum- my with the ace and king, and two hearts in delcarer'S hand with the eight and ten. North made in all three diamonds, three clubs. one heart and five spades.
 Of course West could have done better by returning a trump when he won the ace of hearts, and East could have done better by opening a trump, but doubt that North could have done better with any other line of play.

Fowl Needs Extra Cooking Care
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

Your holiday turkey, or goose or duck, needs special care in cook ing. Here are more valuable hints for 100 per cent eating results: If turkey pinfeatherS are stub born, aim gentle stream of water on the spot and scrape with the nap" using the back of the knife.
 Unless bird goes straight to the oven, chill all stuffing well before putting in the bird. Handsome drumsticks don't just happen. Tie a cord around the leg end and just above the joint. It keeps the skin from drawing away from the bone. A quick snip when roasting is done and they're ready for paper dolly ruffS.
 According to Better Homes & Gardens home economics experts, topSide protection is mighty im- portant to your birds golden brown beauty. Cover the breast bone with bacon strips or body fat, then a strip over each thigh joint Fat acts as a self-baSter. To keep the rest of the skin moist dip thin white cloth in melted fat, press out and lay over the bird. It should hang down the sides but not touch the rack. If the cloth dries during the roasting, spoon melted fat over it. Don't add water, and don't cover the pan.
 To drain off surplus duck or goose ial. h0lf hnlnc into the fatty parts before roasting over the back, around legs and wings, in the breast and around the tail. But be careful, don't make them too deep. E.
 Twenty minutes before the time table says your bird should be ten der, protect your fingers with a clean cloth or paper napkin and press the thick part of the drum stick. If it's not very soft between your fingers, let it roast the full time then try again. Don't spear with fork; it's not accurate and you lose flavorful juice. Keep the heat low and constant. If drip pings burn, the oven is too hot.
 WllCu GA4C bu4 hCy Ao ONO VI oAAS oven waiting in warm spot, to give it shiny glaze spoon drip pings from the bottom of the pan over him several times. Let it stand 10 to IS minutes before he goes to the table, for extra good ness and easy carving.

pieced together a remarkable story. The pilot had hidden out in the Philippine hills for over year after the islands surrender, and he and his comrades put together a fly able P-40, using parts salvaged from widely scattered wrecks. In lieu of landing gear, they constructed bamboo skis, which were dropped when the plane gained altitude on what was to be its last flint. The unknown pilot dropped his single bomb and strafed a Formosan base, was mortally shot up, and some how managed to near the China base. It's simple in outline, but tremendous in the telling.

mother begins to feel like martyr" I heard an en- ergetic young woman say When she begins to feel sorry for herself I'm ready to leave home."
 This mother did not understand that her depressed mental condi- tion was the result of physical ex- haustion, that she could easily have avoided.
 When we drive the muscles to the point of exhaustion, the nerv- ous system anG brain are also af- fected. On the contrary, excitement, worry or nervous strain of any kind often makes us feel physically tired in every muscle.
 FOOD IS FUEL
 The food we eat is the fuel our bodies burn to produce energy. The waste products of the burn ing process accumulate in some what the same manner that car- bon gathers in the motor of an automobile. This accumulation of waste material makes us feel tired and that serves as an irritant to the nerves. People respond to such irritation in various ways Some grow cross and ill-tempered, some depressed and sullen, and others tearfui and plaintive. Many little mannerisms such as biting the f1ngernails or fussing with the hair are due to nervous tension.
 The home nurse should be on the lookout or these symptoms in her. self and the mem CTS of her fam lily. When they appear it is time to call halt. A few days of rest, or s few more hours of sleep each night will usually make the symp- toms disappear if the condition is not of long-standing. In that case a strict regime of rest and medical or nursing care may It necessary. It is up to the home nurse to see that the members of her family never reach that stage of exhaus- tion.

 Young shannon in his battles at school and against a generally hostile world, forgot his religion, but a priest reminded him, and took him into the fold, where he confessed the mortal sin of sleep ing with his grandmother. and was sure the snicker fro mthe shadows was imagined. But the senseiesS and tragic death of dear friend shocked him into what he swore was a permanent break with God, and the core of the novel in his internal struggle over the stum- bling path which leads him back.
 His temporal struggle is bitter one, too. To him a microscope IS more than 8 scientific instrument it is symbol, and added to the difficulties of winning scholar ship is the penuary of his hard listed grandfather, who is old Cows antithesis in every way. It'll be the foundry for Robert, who'll have to earn his bit and the sooner he starts the better. But there IS still the old man to be reckoned with.
