West was fortunate enough to
choose the best opening. He led the
heart eight. East took the king and
queen and then led the ace, and
West put on the jack of spades to win
the trick, dummy discarding a club.
West shifted to the club queen,
and South properly won in his own
hand with the king. After leading
two high trumps, South cashed the
diamond ace, entered dummy with
the spade ten, discarded club on
the diamond king and trumped a
diamond. Then South laid down his
two remaining trumps.
On South's last trump lead West
could not find good discard. If
he parted with the diamond queen,
dummy's club would be thrown, and
the club ace and diamond nine
would be high in dummy. If West
threw a club, dummy's diamond
would be thrown, and both of the
clubs remaining in dummy's hand
would be high. West was squeezed
out of the setting trick.
If South had made the mistake of
winning the first club lead in dunn
my or Of not cashing both high
diamonds and ruffing a diamond be-
fore leading his last two trumps,
West would have avoided the
squeeze and the contract would have
gone down.
Incidentally, If East had been US
ing the Four Aces two-bid, he
would have opened with two hearts
and North-South might never have
reached the game; because South,
not quite strong enough to double
two hearts, might have overcalled
with two spades and North might
not have raised simple overcall.

gressional Record, with increas- ing admiration for his industry and efficiency in serving his con stituency. When Alaska becomes a state, it's people will owe their great advance more to MT. Dl- mond than to any other man. l take for granted Alaskans will wish to honor him for this ser vice, and will wish also to retain him in their service as their governor. As a delegate in Con- gress- he has no vote, but few members have more friends or more influence.
 Clippings of this piece will be sent to all of Alaska's papers. Hundreds of young Texans are up there now, in the armed ser vices; thousands more will go there to take up the last free homesteads available in this country, or to engage in business of one kind or another, after the war. Seems like good idea to get word to them that some of us folks back homo are trying to help shape a future for them in that far country.

Hank Borowy, New York YanKee pitcher, was 8 member of group of major league base ball players that have toured Alaska, and the boys were very much impressed with the possi- bilities for free and unhampered fishing in Alasks.
 In letter written from Kod- iak to Ed Barrow, president of the Yankees, Borowy wrote:
 "You don't need fishing tack le here to catch salmon. They're so thick you can get all you want with baseball bat"
 Speaking of batty ways to fish reminds us of a newsreel short subject we conned at a local cinema which showed dog run ming up a stream of spawning salmon, catching the fish and depositing them on the shore. The reason the dog made the newsreel was because he was so unusual: the narrator described him as "one in million !"
 Knowing every dog in Kodiak would do the same thing. and having seen a number do it, we could only hoot audibly along with the rest.

 Houston (Texas) Press, is self
 explanatory:
 I have never got closer to Alaska than Seattle, but it looks like I might get up there after our largest territory becomes our largest state, any time in the next two or three years. You may recall that on Dec. p l wrote about the virtual certain ty that Alaska will soon be ad- mltted to the Union as our 49th state, as a result of the huge de- velopments our government IS making there, due to the war. 1 sent a copy of that piece to An thony J. Dimond, Alaska's dele gate in Congress. 1 told him that when Alaska is admitted to statehood and he becomes the states first elective governor, he'd owe the Old Timer a trip to and through his state-for helping to persuade Japan, back in 1914, to take Manchuria in- stead of trying to take Alaska as an outlet for Japan's over crowded seventy millions in her small rocky island hore.
 MT. Dimond writes:
 eff and when the conjunction of cancellations suggested in your letter occurs, namely, the creation of Alaska as a state and the election and inauguration of myself as the first governor, it would be a pleasure indeed to have you visit the governor in the capitol of the state and you may be assured that the gover- nor will do his best to see that you are provided with every re- source that hospitality can devise.
 After reading your column, l am sure that at 75 you are no more than half way through, and so I earnestly wish you a succession of happy New Years, Sincerely yours, ANTHONY J. DIMOND, Delegate"

OAR Spreads Christmas Cheer
Patriotic Society Sent Gifts
To Schools, Coast G4ardsmen
By Gretchen Smith,
women's Club Editor.

Thousands of men, women and
children will be made happier to-
morrow by gifts sent through gen.
erosity Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Since its founding, the patriotic
society had stood behind move
ments which encourage better
thinking among the Nations peo-
pie, and with the realization that
Christmas is the season when the
hearts of men can be most easily
reached they have concentrated
this year on a program of giving,
exceeding any before supported by
It's always philanthropic member
ship.
Many children in the mountains
of the Southland will enjoy their
share OF the OAR Christmas today,
when those attending DAR-sup-
ported schools will receive gifts
from the society before going to
their mountain cabin homes for
Christmas. Hundreds of gifts, rang
ing from toys and "city dressed
dolls" to warm clothing and useful
articles, will be given to the boys
and girls.
Special attention was given to the
gifts sent to the schools in the
mountains, at Tamassee, S. c., and
Kate Duncan Smith School, in Ala
bama, according to a release from
OAR headquarters. These schools,
totally supported by OAR funds. are
being constantly expanded to take
care of the children of the noun
taineers.
A gift of $4,000 was recently con-
tributed by Miss Edla Gibson, New
York State regent, for chapel at
the Tamassee School. A small boys
dormitory at Tamassee and a stu
dents lunch hall at the Kate Dun
can Smith School have been built
through generosity of William H.
Pouch of New York City in honor
of his wife, a past president gen.
eral and honorary president general
of the OAR.
