use of now surplus military install
lations as extensions of a greater
University Of North Carolina
where veterans could commence
the college educations interrupted
by military service.
Commander Hayes, introduced
by E. C. Snead, commander of
James A. Manley post. Wilmington,
outlined the program of the North
Carolina department as follows:
Food, clothing and shelter, with
out exploitation.
Rent control measures as a pro-
lection for rehabilitating returned
veterans and low income groups.
Terminal leave pay for enlisted
men on a par with that extended to
officers.
A college education for each and
every qualified veteran desiring to
take advantage of the offer.
Discussing the terminal leave
proposal, Commander Hayes as
serted ''%everything in the power
of the department of North Caro-
lima is being thrown into the fight
to gain payment of terminal leave
now and not five or ten years from
now when the need will not be as
great" He added that this money
is vitality needed by many veterans
for rehabilitation.
Commander Hayes closed his re-
marks with an appeal to present
VFW members to bring into the
organization as least two members
each during each week of the cur
rent statewide membership cam

A BIDDING PARADOX

ONE FUNNY paradox OF sound
bidding involves a call Of exactly
game II the partners have shown
each other so much strength that
both obviously know the side has
enough strength to bid a game in
something. q call OF game may be
interpreted as an effort to close
the bidding In such a situation, a
call Of less than game leaves open
the possibility that you are inter-
ested in slam. SO. when slam ideas
are in your head, you should try
TO find some Informative bid OF
less than game or else bid the
