Fine Points in Bridqe

There was q captivating post.
norton. during which It was clear
to all concerned that East and
West could have made q grand
slam In clubs. But those two
worthless are among the soundest
psychologists playing bridge to-
day. They agreed that two things
were impossible-one to know
that South could make his con.
tract, the other to find out that
the club grand slam was possible.
Because Of their agreement,
they went on. into the next deal
with their morale high, instead Of
having q session Of berating each
other, which would only upset
them and make them less eficient
on succeeding deals.
Bidding conventions are devised
to At frequently recurring situa-
tons and to give the best results
In the long run. Variations from
perfect results are the things
which put the Joy into such .
great game as contract bridge.

Cpl. David M. Switz, 24, 67 High land avenue, volunteered to return to combat duty six days after he was wounded in the thigh on Two Jima on D-Day, according to a story from S-Sgt David Dempsey, Marine correspondent. He is now at Pacific rest camp.
 Evacuated to a hospital ship, Switz, a squad leader in mortar section, prevailed upon the doctors to permit his return to his unit. Permission was finally granted. Switz lost II out of 19 men, and it is believed his unit established a record on the island when its guns fired 1,500 rounds of ammunitions per gun in one day.
 During the invasion of Saipan, the Waterbury Marine sustained gun- shot wounds in the left foot and right ankle.
 Enlisting in the Marines approx imately three years ago, Switz was a former employe of the U. s. Time corporation and graduate of Leav- enworth high school.
