Cleo Reed Now
Beck In Durunt

Cleo Reed, well known colorcd
citizen of Durant, who claims lie has
been disrupted" by the war, is back
home again selling made-to-order
clothes for the Chicago concern for
which he has worked sixteen years.
Clea was employed at Brookely
Field, Mobile, with the Air Tech
nical Command in the Quarter
master Corps for three years. He
says he made $500 a year down in
Mobile but the women took $l675.
Anyway, Cleo managed to bring
home a wife. In a personal report to
the editor he said he 'evaded" a
long time but was finally trapped"
He asked that this information be
withheld from the public as he ex-
poets an immediate storm to break
loose among the women in his wide
territory.
We suggested this would be a
pretty good way to get a divorce
and win back his much-prized free
dom but Cleo broke down and adj
mitted he'd been married long
enough to "love it pretty we'll"
Knowing we were going to write
him up after his visit, the last we
saw of Cleo he was going out the
door with his sample case under his
arm muttering something about pay
ing up his insurance because ne was
sills' as good as daid."

variety of changes in exterior and
interior body styling and in mechan-
ical improvements. Its wheelbase
is 118 inches. Outstanding exterior
features are the front grill and
wider hood enhancing a heavier
lower and wider appearance. Me-
chanical improvements in the l946
Mercury engine include tri-alloy
bearings, crankcase ventilation, oil
filter air cleaner and oil cleaner as
standard equipment, improved oil

ing that they had compelled their
partner to do all he had done up
to that stage. But not this astute
bidder.
East reckoned that with an ut
terly worthless hand, and not even
any useful distributional arrange
ment such as short and long suits
intermixed, West could have
passed the diamonds. But, more
important. he made differences
based on the passes Of the oppo-
nents. He reckoned that North
would not have passed the original
1-Spade with anything OF value.
and South's passes OF both the
double and the 4-Diamonds added
to the chance that South's hand
was a minimum and West had a
few useful cards.
West was dead right in taking
the 5-Hearts invitation to small
slam. His diamond Q was an i'm
portant card, and so was the K In
his trump suit. OF course he made
his contract, losing only one trick
in spades, discarding Ave losers on
diamonds.
