TIP TO oPA

The OPA has issued regulation covering
occasional institutional users Of ration food Trons-
lated - os most OPA terms must be this means
people who now ond then serve q church supper or
similar eating function and charge money for it.
The occasional institutional users" must now
make application 30 days before the doe Of the
meal, and specify how many persons ore going to
attend They must also account for any unused ro-
toned food within 10 days "ofter the lost service Of
food during the period covered by the application"
Now this may be very WE'LL but it is clear to US
that the regulation drafted by some city scker
in Washington who never attended q church supper
IF he had he would know that he wos dealing
with old and infIexibIe American tradition in
which two things inevitably happen:
% The occasional institutional users" never
know how many are going to attend their occasional
function and " no amount Of planning is going to
prevent the Iote OF sold function from getting
something less than minimum Of creomed chicken
Our odviee to the OPA is to forget the whole
thing and 90 back to its tussIe with the black mar
ket. Those Iote-coners always feel bad enough any,
way and there's point in OPA sticking its neck
out os forget for their Disappointment.

has his subject down cold, goes

The author traces the trend in

swift, graceful clipper, which
for years ran away from It's new

good spades on which TO discard
the losing diamond and club.
Nose of us agreed, however,
that after caShing the king and
queen OF spades, he should cash
the king of clubs and ruff a small
club, then lead the ace and
queen Of hearts and ace of
spades. Now if the spades are
divided four-tWo, and the trumps
three-one, and if the hand with
four spades also holds the three
trumps, North can still make the
contract. This proved 10 be the
actual distribution.
Taking these little percentage
plays in your favor marks the
difference between the average
player and the expert.
