 It's in the Cards. In times of they say fashions become extreme They also say people look around for something different to do So we fnd in the world of recreation that there is being developed new kind of card game, which may appeal to the card-minded in our locale. It IS tOur-handed game based Bridge and PinOchle and it has been pre- dicted it will become favOrite among Americans Its name announces the Association American Card Manufacturers, is Check Pnochle. It is played with regular Pinoche deck by two teams of partners the rules of bridge predOminating. The game ends when team reaches 900 points, but the winning team is that which has accumulated the greatest number of checks. The scoring is double system of points and checks, and those holding the greatest number ot points don't necessarily have the most checks Checks are awarded for certain winnings such as melds or making the contract; for instance two checks for making a contract of 200. SO in the days to come we may expect to hear much about Check PfnOchle.
 Editor of Tall Towers: of the unfortunate people that can't get enough coal to keep my house heated I am not complaining expecting to get more than my share but would like to know-Why do they keep the coal burning in Mulcahy School when the school is supposed to be closed? am not only thinking of myself but also of all those school children that are deprived of their recreation by the schools having to shut down after hours Can you put the in the Tall Tower COumn rernaln,-A CurlOuS taxpayer. This may not be satisfactory complete answer, Curi ous Taxpayer but our brief checkup the matter resulted in the statement that the City of Waterbury believes that the expense of hiring caretaker and burn ing sufficient coal in the Mucahy School is justified and will be very small compared to the expense the city faces if the cold spell cracked the interior walls of the building and caused other damages It is merely matter of prevention and economy and not wastefu expendi ture of coal time and money That's the information we get. you have other details the Tower would be happy to record them

But wherever you you count being leased constantly pesered and ridiculed-aI in friendly way, of cOurSe." In anayzng the above take it. to the vernacuIar of the streets what is called 'ribbing" which is quite prevalent in the Brass City Of the Okesters must have fun, but to me- it is strictly small town" Yours for elimination ). " Walker. Editors NOte is commonly known that the English people do not stand for the amount of practical joking (rbbng) at the expense especially of public figures that pre- vaiS in this country. The writer like many other Americans also, evidently has that aversion to Over-wOrked practical jOking)
