Miss Hickey says history and the

potential husband.
She comedies 1t will not be easy

labor market and will fight for their
jobs. But others, moved by patriot
ism, shifted TO the insecurity or
temporary work. The girls fresh
out OF high school will have a
tough time without experience at
time when labor is tight.
Women generally, Miss Hickey
believes, will not want to compete
with veterans.
Whenever you talk to a working
woman" she pointed out, you are
talking to wife. sister, or mother
OF a veteran and she wants him
back to work. She's willing to
make sacrifices. But you have an.

ask the veteran to take care of all
his dependent female relatives?"

Against all those aces and
kings. the diamonds certainly
took q setting. East and West
took exactly six tricks against 1t
and therefore set IL six tricks, for
a score Of 100 points.
But at the other table In the
duplicate where the shuttle and
deal produced this hand, the
grand slam In clubs was made. II
netted 500 points for game bonus,
1900 for grand slam premium and
140 for tricks, a total Of 2.140
points.
Which would you rather do
lose LOO points or 2,140 points.
Right, you would rather lose the
smaller amount. Thereby your net
gain would be 1,o4o points be-
