GENERALLY SPEAKING

Speaking for the committee
and myself, l want to thank al
those who made our Unit party
success. This includes both the
factory and office. With the
proceeds derived from the party
the Unit will be able to square
its deficit with the Local. l am
sure all of you appreciate the
support, financial and other
which we have been given by II.
Since the notice has been
posted on all shop bulletin
boards reminding members Of
their dues standings, a most re-
markable response has been
noted. Counting those who have
maintained their good standing
from the beginning, as we'll as
those who have only recently
thought it over, we are not
afraid of any election.

The bidding:
South West North East
- Pass 10 Pass
M Pass 2NT Pass
3NT Pass pass pass
The jack Of spades was opened. a
low spade was played from dummy
and East won with the king. East
led back the three Of hearts.
South permitted West to win this
with the 10 and when West con-
tinued with the heart jack South
ducked again. South now had nine
tricks in sight-five diamonds, two
spades, a heart and a club. He
hoped that the opponent holding
the club ace had started with only
three hearts and would not have an
other heart to lead when he took
his club ace. But a third round
OF hearts drove out South's ace and
when club was led East was able
to take the ace and cash a fourth
heart to defeat the contract.
North, the dummy, now woke up
and started criticizing South for the
way the hand had been played. Ac-
cortling to North, the spade ace
should have been put up at trick one
and a club led Immediately. If East
ducked South would take the club
queen, cash the diamond king, over
take the diamond jack in dummy
and run off the diamonds. Then an
other club would be led, setting UP
South's king for his ninth trick
while he still had the heart ace to
stop that suit.
No one can deny that North's
method would have worked, but look
what 1t required: The diamond suit
had to break 3-3 Cor at least the
10 had to fall in one of the first
three rounds. East and not West
had to have the club ace. And East
had to hold the spade king or else
South's method of play would have
worked anyway. So in our opinion
South, though he lost out, actually
Iplayed the hand properly, and
North's method, though it would
have worked, was wrong.

Is tough, due to long service on the
ground. Only when they happen to
step on sharp objects do they come
to grief.
People can get along while bare
foot where the climate is warm, but
in northern parts, the story is diff
ferent. People in cold climates found
ways to cover their feet long ago.
Their first footwear is believed to
have been made of animal hides.
Pieces of skin were cut and fitted
to the feet, with no effort to tan the
material into leather.
People in southern Europe and
northern Africa also wore foot COW
erings in ancient times. The chief
need of Egyptians, Greeks and Ro-
mans was to take the wear off the
skin of the foot. and for that reason
they used sandals far more often
than shoes.
Besides the sandals worn in
Greece, some persons had boots and
shoes. The boots were worn by
hunters, and the shoes by persons
who had to be outdoors during win
ter in colder parts of the country.
Roman hunters also wore boots.
but the common people had only
sandals for their feet. The richer
class. chiefly the "patricians," wore
black shoes in Rome. If you were
chosen as a senator, you were al
lowed to wear red shoes.
Strange kinds of footwear grew
popular in Europe during the Middle
Ages. Some of these had long.
pointed toes. Certain of them had
soft, narrow toes which stretched
out from IL to "a inches. To keep
these toes from getting in the way
While man was walking, the ends
OF them were-at times-curved

Uncle Ruy's Corner

During the months I spent In
Mexico, I was interested in the
many persons in that country who
go barefoot. This is more true of
the villages and country districts
than of the cities, but thousands of
Mexicans seldom, II ever, put on
shoes. They are mainly of Indian
stock, or of mixed Indian and Span
ish blood.
Barefooted men and women In
Mexico seem to get along fairly well.
The skin on the soles of their feet
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-12-12

Continued from Page D Germans are pulling out until forced to do so in hard fighting. The same fanatical resistance prevailing at D-Day still xists, even more so in some instances since the Allies are fighting on the so-called holy German soil.
 A recent War Department official release showed the Allies in the first five months after D-Day had suffered 200,349 casualties, or ap- proximately 1883 daily. These losses, however, occurred when the Allies had fewer troops in the field than presently and during priodes when the war was highly mobile with the Germans retreating.
 In the first 13 days after D-Day the casualties were much smaller than expected. In that period the Allies suffered 36,031 killed, wounded or missing, of which 19,640 were Americans; 13,572 British and 2,S19 Canadians.
 Additional Toll
 Since November 1, to when the War Department figures were tabu- lated, casualties have taken an ad- ditional heavy toll of the finest fighting young men and officers from America, Britain and Canada. All four American Armies, the Bri- tish Second, the Canadian First and also the French First have been locked in bitter struggles.
 There are number of reasons why casualties continue. Fighting is in closer quarters with the Ger mans dug in better than any time since D-Day. The terrain is more difficult, with 8 miture of forests, swampy areas, hills, streams, riv- CTS, canals. Also there were the Maginot and Siegfried lines, con- munity dug anti-tank ditches, fo- holes, trenches and many strongly emploced tanks and artillery pieces. The Germans also converted every crossroad, hamlet, village, town and city into a strongpoint, which re- quired the Allies to virtually level each one and then clean out each cellar or dugout by hand.
 Weather also reduces mobility and limits the Allies from fully en- ploying the superiority of tanks, self propelled guns and airplanes.
 As the fighting moves deeper into Germany, the enemy's interior sup ply lines become shorter as to the fighting fronts, which enables the Germans to bring up greater con- centration of manpower and weap- onS.
 Artillery and anti-aircraft guns withdrawn from Belgium and Hol- land have been packed into the western frontiers of the Reich for use against land-troops.

tire blocks of buildings to provide open lanes of fire for their artillery. Only one railway line was still open to Vienna, the Swedish informants said adding that that escape route was checked with refugees and was expected to be cut almost momen- tarily.
 The Soviet vommunique, however, ignored that phase of the fighting and reported inly that units of Mar shal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Second Ukrainian Army advanced two miles in the sector northeast of the capi- tai yesterday, capturing Vereseghaz and Szada, II miles from Budapest.
 Moscow said the enemy was fight ing fiercely from long-prepared posi- tions in that sector and asserted that hundreds of Axis troops were killed and more than 800 captured. Twenty-two Nazi tanks were de- stroyed or damaged.
 Other Second Ukrainian forces pushing westward along the Hun garian-Slovak border hammered out gains of as much as three miles on a 23-mile front and captured Hont, S2 miles north of Budapest, and varsany, 36 miles to the northeast.
 The Soviet push carried to the edge of the rolling plain extending westward to Bratislava and Vienna, 87 and 119 miles beyond, and Ger man commentators described it as an attempt to cut of fthe Axis froces in eastern Slovakia.
 MaInovsky's troops also advanced nine miles northwest of Miskolc to take Kondo, 56 miles east of Var sahy.
 eManwhile, Marshal Feodo I. Tol- bukhin'S Third Ukrainian Army was reported joined with Malinovsky's $ troops in the chase toward Vienna, while his left wing probed deeper into the gap south of Lake Balaton and mopped up pockets of German and Hungarian resistance overrun by his advanced spearheads.

Tokyo Being
 Evacuated
Continued from Page D


 with bombings interspersed.
 The Japanese domestic radio said Bs29's based in the Marianas made three flights over the Japanese mainland between midnight and 5 a. m. today.
 A transocean dispatch from Tokyo said several" planes swept over the capital this evening, dropping in cendiarieS. The acknowledgment that fires were started was contain in the claim that they were put out immediately"
 The brodacastS stirred speculation that the evacuation might also have been prompted by the severe earth quake that rocked central Japan last week. The Japanese have admitted that the tremor, which observatories around described as of catastrophe" proportions, had caused damage in a number of areas near Tokyo, but they made no ref erence to the capital itself.
 DOur Admission Radio Toyko admitted dourly that the SuperfortreSs strikes on the Jap anese homeland have become wig orous operations" and warned the people that more raids are on the way, including machine gun Straf- ings" of their cities.
 An even gloomier Tokyo dispatch broadcast by the German Trans ocean News Agency acknowledged that Japan is "very vulnerable" to air raids and that every effort is being made to reduce that vulner- ability.
 "A great number of Tokyo's in- habitants have been evacuated to the country" Treansocean said. Certain houses have been pulled down to create wide gaps and pre- vent fires from spreading"
 There was no indication that the Japanese intended to abandon their capital, and the Transocean account suggested that only non-essential civilians were being evacuated.
 Earlier Reports
 The enemy admission, however. re- called earlier reports that Japan's leaders planned to remove Emperor Hirohito to some remote hideaway, possibly in Manchuria, in the event that American air raids on the cap1- tai became heavy.
 The imperial palace is in the heart of Tokyo, close by a number of prime military targets such as the Japanese war office, naval ministry and other governmental offices, all located within half mile radius of the palace grounds.

Yonks Battle Trapped Foe
(continued from Page D

MacArthur'S communique deScrib- ed the battle for Ormoc as "of the most desperate character" and re- vealed that the Japanese died al- most to the last man in defense oi the vital supply port.
 Burrowed into cellars and fox holes under the houses, the Jap anese had to be dug out and killed in small groups, and late dispatches said number of snipers still were believed holding out almost AZ hours after the last organized re- sistance ended.
 American planes continued their steady pounding of Japanese air fields and shipping in the Philip pines and in the islands to the south, sinking a 1,000-ton enemy freighter and damaging or setting fire to nine other merchantmen and coastal vessels.
 Heavy bombers of the southwest Pacific command also carried out 8 spectacular long-range strike on the great Borneo oil depots at Balik- papan and Tarakan. The railers dumped 79 tons of bombs on the two centers, smashing pipe lines and storage tanks and flooding both targets areas with flaming oil that sent smoke columns billowing 0,OOO feet into the air.
 Other Allied planes struck again at the isolated Japanese positions around Wewak, New Guinea, Ra- baul, New Britain, Kavieng, New Ire land, and on Bougainville. Scat tered clashes between Allied and Japanese patrols were reported from western New Guinea.
