TEE SHOTS

PROFESSIONAL Joe Lopez Is cOIl-
templating leaving Thursday for
Pinehurst, N. c., to compete in
the North South tournament held
annually at that well-known mid
winter resort. If he does not en-
ter that tournament he will still
play in both the Orlando and Mi
ami opens that will take place in
the next six weeks.
Lopez is very appreciative of
The Citizens publicity given the
Key West Golf Club, and states
that this has aided the club ire
mendously. Lopez said that it has
not only brought many new golf
participants, but has created real
interest among the members
Nearly every new golfer has told
Lopez that he became interested
in the game through reading The
Citizens Write-ups.
All golfers are requested to use
the roadway in back of No. 9 in
stead of cutting across No. l, on
their way into the club house.
There is always the possibility
Of a bad accident by using the
No. fairway, since those about
to tee off have no possible chance
to see persons entering No. |, due
to the high trees lining the rough
and fairway at the roadway.
The club championship to be
played next Sunday will bring
together Jimmy Mira and Harry
Knight. Their opposites in the
ring locally would be Willie
Jackson and John Nebo. Like
Jackson, Mira is the more power
full hitter, but like Nebo, knight
is steadier, better guarded. Take
your choice. Betting will prob
ably favor knight for he is less
| likely to have any bad holes, but
if Mira should get going with
his long woods and irons, it may
mark the end for the Knight boy.
Who was the golfer who usual
ly plays for a soft drink or beer,
but who got in with the big
boys" and lost $40 in one round?
Just so his Mrs. will not be able
to identify him, but so the golf
ers will: He is a steady golfer,
has a nice smile and pleasant
disposition, but is the posSessor
of shift prior to hitting the ball
that combination Russian bal
let dancer and an American jit-
terbug couldn't duplicate.
Sheriff Berlin Sawyer is ex-
pecting to start coming out to
the course any day now. The
| sheriff was an ardent golfer
years ago and used to play
creditable game. Berlin used to
play with a fellow golfer, who
Berlin didn't mind when he
couldn't count above seven but
every time they went into the
rough, the fellows ball was al
ways found. 1t seems the gentle
man used pants which had a
hole in the pocket where he
could shove a ball through and
down his trouser leg and there
was the ball on terra firma with
out any penalty.

WE ARE FOR TRUTH

Perhaps my sense OF the ludi-
crous is over : developed, else
would not find so much amusement
in the sorry spectacle of the de-
luded groups of Christians who
crowd the meeting rooms of psue-
doyogis and spookists and other
cultists. each talking glibly about
"the truth"
Truth is a vast area of knowl-
edge, of which these alterations
can scarcely claim a square foot.
Truth is not a small thing, to be
monopolized by any particular
company.
When Jesus said, IT am. . the
truth" He opened the door to all
the infinity of truth as il is in
Himself. The ages have not yet
penetrated into His full signifi-
canoe. To find and follow Him is
to enter upon the Way of truth,
every step Of which is filled with
new and precious discoveries.
We find truth as we seek Thee,
o Christ; so we would follow ON
to know the Lord. A.

Per. Capita

We have been bordering the De-
partment of Commerce statement that
the per capita income in this country
last year reached the all-time high of
$3.50.
Per capita means "per head or 'for
each person." So the Department of
Commerce is not saying that your fami-
ly, if it was average, had $1150 last
year. We are told that you had $1150
for yourself, $3.50 for your wife, $3.50
for your high school son and $1150 for
your grade school daughter.
If you weren't below average, your
family of four (which isn't far from the
national average) had $4soo income
last year. And a family of three, which
is a bit under the national average, had
$3450.
What, then, we have been wondering,
has become of that vast majority that
has to live on somewhere around $4,000
2 year for the whole family?

M0lOtov Answered

Mr.. Molotov, the chief Russian heck
Ter at Paris, yesterday declared at a
Paris peace conference session that the
United States is interfering in Greece.
The attack stemmed from announce
ment that American warships were to
be anchored in Greek harbors next
week, following the plebisclte on Sun
day. 1t wa his claim that the dispatch
OF American vessels to these ports con-
stituted foreign interference in that ma
TONS affairs.
The answer to Mr.. Molotov's charges
was given in advance by Fleet Admiral
William F. Halsey in an interview at
washington following his six-weeks
goodwill tour of Latin America. It's
nobody's business, he said, when the
United States chooses to send it's war
ships to visit a friendly nation.
rlnned down to a specific case, Ad-
mlral Halsey was asked about the
criticism from Russia concerning the
goodwill trips to Greece, Turkey and
otner Mediterranean ports. The plain
spoken admiral, always quick on the
uptake, replied: cts nobody's damn
business where we CO." and added, "We
Will go anywhere we please" meaning,
the dispatch explains, anywhere on the
nigh seas or anywhere we are welcomed
oy friendly foreign powers.
What have you to say to that, Mr.
Molotov?

Ayes. For instance, if you

veteran then borrow on this re.

River Road Paving

There is at last a definite pledge that
the old River road down the Cape Fear
south from the shipyard to the Inland
Waterway bridge will be hard surfaced,
and Wilmingtonians who have long been
honeful the project would be launched
are happy in the prospect.
AS one of the two roads in the Will
mington area which would open vast
acreage for industry and agriculture
when improved, the other being the
Niggerhead Road, it is to be hoped that
the State Highway Commission will
find it possible to undertake the con-
struction in the neal future.
The Highway Commission chairman,
A. H. Graham, is quoted as saying he
cannot forecast when the work will
start because the states highway pro-
gram has been thrown out of killer
by the long rainy season h%ereabouts,
but with the return of clear weather
it may not require as much time as
Mr.. Graham contemplates to catch up
on other necessary jobs and so the
River road work may be undertaken
sooner than his statement implies.
Between Wilmington and the Inland
Waterway is much property now idle
from lack of adequate communication
facilities. It is not hard to envision
industrial development on the mileage
along the River road near the city and
imposing dwellings on the farther
stretch, where the broadening Cape
Fear offers a vista of surprising beauty.
It is in this way that Wilmington,
Delaware, residents have improved the
reaches of the Delaware river near
their city. There is no good reason why
the improvement of the old River road
should not bring the fine standard of
development attained by dwellers of it's
sister city to the north.

Gottlieb, n of the old-time Life
Masters, recently purchased Twil

this tournament.
You may remember Rau as the

a bridge hand, and this is the one
they gave me.
Gottlieb's analysis was inter
esting. He let West hold the frs
spade with the queen and wher
a spade was returned, he ~finesseo
the jack.
Now he was confronted with the
problem of knocking out either
the king of hearts Or the ace
of diamonds. He reasoned that il
West held both in addition to
the spade suit. the contract would
automatically be defeated. There
fore he must assume that only one
of these two cards was in the West
hand. If West had the ace of dia-
monds and not the king of hearts,
the contract was assured no mat
ter which suit was attacked first;
but it West held the king of
hearts, it had to be knocked out
first.
Therefore Gottlieg's first play
was the heart finesse.
Gottlieb, who was rated as one

believes that most hands are lost
