 As for the old job, the boy who worked in a filling station or was never very successful as sales man and whose job in the war was flying bomber or working as a member of ground crew very like icy has decided the old job back home isn't challenging enough to hold his interest or to make the best of his newly discovered capa- bilities.
 And men who have learned that they can handle other men and assume the kind of responsibility that calls for quick thinking and | fast decisions aren't likely to wan to go back and sit at desk doing a routine job that gives them nc l chance to use their own initiative Natural as this situation is, i; can be hard on wives-if they are bound and determined to go on living in the same house in the same town. or if they are impatient for their husbands to take the first job offered them because it looks like security for the family.
 Dr. Wilbur R. Miller - head of Psycliatry in the Department of Medicine at the University Of Iowa and a director of the State S Psychopathic Hospital believes that the service wifes reaction to this problem is extremely i'm portant.
 EMERGENCY NOT OVER
 He points out that the wife who was good sport" during the emergency of war and who from necessity put security out of her mind while she trailed her hus- band from one army camp to an- other may feel that when her man is finally home the most important thing in the world is for him to get job in hurry and settle

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

When Sgt. Phil Abramsohn, on of the country's outstanding Life Masters who is now stationed as Grenier Field, Manchester, N. H. teaching blind flying in the Ab Transport Command, was in towD the other day. he said: Now Wess could have beaten me on this hand
 However, think you will agree with me it is beautiful play to make the hand as long as the de- fense slipped little.
 The opening lead was won with the ace. Due to the fact that Abramsohn had a freak hand, he expected freak distributions of the other hands. He realized that if he tried to get back to his hand by leading a club, several acidents might happen; instead, he returned the four of hearts. West won the trick with the queen and led back another heart which East trumped with the eight of spades.
 Now, here is the nice play. Abramsohn refused to over-trump, because if he did, he would lose the contract. He made safety play. He discarded a loser on a loser. He threw away his nine Of

 often they have sample arrange ments set up for your approval
 Boxes in the sun permit greater range of flowers from which to choose. A couple of hanging vines and anaccent plant or two add va riety and grace to the box. On the whole, there are no plants equal to the glorious petunias and geraniums. Both provide blooms until the frost kills them in au- tumn. Dracena and pandanus are excellent accent plants and thrive in sun or semi-shade. Other plants which must have sun in order to please you with flowers include: ageratum, verbena, heliotrope, dwarf marigold, lantana and bed- ding begonias. Lantana is a beau- tiful plant, but is apt to become in- fected with an insect resembling the mealy bug, so nicotine and soapy water spray must be kept handy and used every few days.
 Variegated myrtle or vinca, ken- ilworth and German ivies, aspar- agus sprengeli and Wandering Jew are excellent vines to hang over the edges of your boxes.
 Boxes in the shade will give pleasure with foliage plants such as Boxton ferns, caladiums. aspi- distra, pandanus and coleus with some color from tuberous begon- ias, fuchsia, torenia and browallia. Variegated myrtle. English ivy and asparagus sprengeii will soften the effect when draped along the front.

 In this attitude she is likely tc be mistakenly backed up by her par ents who may see a threat tc her security in her husbands not being able to make up his mino right away just what he wants to do or in his wanting to pull ur stakes and try something entirely new.
 Dr. Millers advice to the wal wife whose husband comes home at the end of the war in that frame of mind is to acknowledge to herself that while the others the emergency of war is over, il isn't over for her. And that she must be as willing to go along with her husbands new plans and ambitions as she was to fol- low him from army camp to army camp.

Watertown, June II This is Commencement week at the Water town High school and there are several items, other than the usual formal announcements. which are of interest to the friends of the class of 1945.
 Included among these items is the fact that the class has dedicated "Janus," the 1945 year book to a popular former member of the fac ulty, Miss Isabel MacKerracher. Miss MacKerracher, who taught at the Watertown High school for a number of years, joined the faculty of Crosby High school, Waterbury last Fall. That her efforts on behalf of the Watertown students were ap- preciated is apparent in the dedi- cation in Janus" which reads as follows: Tn recognition of the years of devoted service to the students of Watertown, we dedicate this book to Miss Isabel MacKerracher, our friend and advisor, who taught us by her example, that life and learning are inseparable. Best wishes to her in her new duties. Our loss is Crosby's gain.'
 The members of the class of 1945, now in the armed forces are also of interest to many There are at pres ent four senior boys in service, in- cluding Gerald R. Bousquet, and William Eustace, U. s. Army Air Garnc UJo1fa.. MrGnuro n and Thomas R. Keilty, U. s. Naval Reserve. Several of the senior boys are planning to enter the service or the Army Specialized Training Pro- gram Reserve, soon after graduation and one member of the class Ger ard E. Canty is a Naval Reserve vet eran.
 The Commencement activities started Saturday evening when the Senior Prom was held in the high school gymnasium. The formal an nouncement of the guest list and other prom news has not yet been given out, but one unexpected feat ure of the evening will not soon be forgotten. Patrick E. Fontaine, Jr., instructor of biology and chemistry at the high school has had an op- portunity to demonstrate his know ledge of the sciences to the students every school day, but his chance to demonstrate his knowledge of the arts has not been as frequent. That MT. Fontaine's knowledge of at least one of the arts is quite superior, the students attending the senior prom will agree, for he demonstrated this knowledge very ably. As winners of the spot dance, MT. and Mrs. Fon- taine were presented with an award and given the privilege of dancing solo to any number which they re- quested the ordchestra to play Choosing tango, MT. and Mrs. Fontaine, much to the admiration and delight of the audience, pro- ceeded to give very beautiful solo exhibition of the Tango and Boy, can he dance!" is how a popular remark about MT. Fontaine, among the students.
 On Tuesday afternoon at o'clock the class day exercises will be held on the lawn in front of the school steps. If weather does not permit holding the exercises out doors they will take place in the gymnasium. The class banquet will be held on Tuesday evening and commence ment will take place in the high school gymnasium Wednesday eye-
