% cents a barrel over the former
unsubsidized price of $1.40 a barrel
Kevin-Sunburst, $1.45, or 10 cents
a barrel less than the former price
of S1.55 barrel, which had included
35 cent subsidy An exception is
that Kevin-Sunburst crude of 81
gravity or higher will command the
Cut Bank price of $1.65 barrel.
Pondera, now $135 a barrel.
Cat Creek, now $1.70 a barrel.
Cut Bank and Cat Creek operators
were naturally jubilant and there
was also optimism in Kevin-Sun-
burst. There, operators who were
interviewed informally said they
would rather take the new price,
feeling it would be maintained, than
be continually fearful, as they had
been, of suspension of the 35-cent
subsidy without notice.
Many were of the opinion, also,
that strong testimony will be
brought out at the Aug. 81 hearing
in Washington, in support of a
permanent price differential to in
sure continued operation of the tens
of thousands of stripper wells in the
nation.

Air Service Inadequate

Following an address by Hamilton
Hicks before the Kiwanis club, the
Star discussed in these columns the
readiness of the Airport Authority to
serve the air-traveling public, to serv-
ice visiting planes, private and COM
mercial, and to function as the best
airfield in the matter of facilities be-
tween New York and Miami.
Successful continuous operation at
Bluethenthal, however, does not de-
pend solely on the facilities, existing
and in contemplation, but also upon
increased use by commercial airlines.
In this, the CAB has a vital role. Ad-
ditional a~irlines are seeking landing
rights here as regular stops on their
established routes or extensions of
them.
The business ~warranting the desir-
ed additional use Of the airport is avail
able. This is proved by the lack of
seats on departing planes. A travel
agency downtown reports that on one
day alone last week it had to turn
away fifteen applicants seeking to ira
vel on an outgoing plane. What the
number of reflections may have been
at the field on the same day is not
known. Nor is it known how many re-
jections are made daily. But it is the
testimony of many Wilmingtonians
that when they must make a trip when
time in transit is a factor they gener-
ally find it possible to make a plane
reservation only days ahead.
Certainly this situation justifies the
improved service sought. The CAB
has a duty to perform for airlines wish
Ing to use Bluethenthal airfield.

Service Center

Two incidents in which a Veterans
Service Center was able to save ex-
service men from being bilked of their
capital are to be noted in behalf of a
similar center here.
Two men recently discharged from
the armed services put up $4,000 TO-

How many more cases in which vet
Grams would have been defrauded OF

examples certainly prove this kind OF
work for the men who have returned
from the wal is well worth while.
AS Wilmington is not materially
different from other cities, the money
solicited for the operation of such a
center ought to be forthcoming.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E, MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

There was a battle of wits on
today's hand in a recent tourna-
ment and careless defenders lost
the contract. Fred L. Karpin of
Brooklyn, N. Y, read through
East's keen defense and made a
nice play to make his contract.
At most tables declarer trumped
the ace OF diamonds with a small
spade and took four rounds of
trumps. The ten of clubs was led
and the finesse taken, and if East
won with the king the contract
was safe because the losing hearts
were discarded on the good clubs.
At some tables East refused to
win with the king of clubs, and
d%eclarer cashed the ace and king
OF hearts. hoping to drop the queen
doubleton, and if that did not work,
intending to take another club fl
nesse. Then of course East won
the second club finesse and a heart
trick was cashed.
Karpin took the club finesse i'm
mediately after trumping the first
diamond. When East refused to
win. Karpin then cashed the ace
and king of hearts and led the third
round of hearts with the intention
OF ruffing a heart with the ten of
spades if the hearts did not break
THIS play made his contract.
Many big hands are lost because
d%eclarer takes too much for grant
ed. Because the ten of clubs stood
up in this case, some South play
ers assumed that East did not have
the king, but the holdup of the king
was a simple defensive plav.

like a hurricane, we called the
Coast Guard in. Charleston.
A very pleasant boatswain by the
name of George Abel Miller said
there was no hurricane coming,
just, he said, some gentle winds
that were to be expected this time
of the year.
This still didn't satisfy The Star.
Meantime, the telephone calls that
started out with the one from the
one lady began to grow into num-
Der until four telephones were
jangling as fast as we could hang
them up.
So we asked Mr.. Miller. the
boatswain, to get il touch with
Miami, which is right on the edge
of the breeding grounds of hurri-
canes. Mr.. Miller did and called
us back.
Miami says there's nothing to
indicate a hurricane" MI. Miller
said, "Just those gentle winds that
