 Peter Leventritt, one of the New York Life Masters, has been active in this cause, and hope he does as well in 1t as he did in making his contract on today's hand, in spite of the fact that both of the much-needed illnesses were wrong.
 He won the opening lead in his own hand with the ten of hearts, cashed the ace of hearts, ran three spade tricks, then cashed the king of hearts, discarciing the deuce of clubs from his hand.
 Now of course Leventritt knew that West was out of spades and hearts, and if he had made the mistake of cashing his fourth heart, he would have lost the contract. He would have been forced to discard a diamond or a club, and in that case West would have had an easy exit card.
 Instead. ine left the queen of hearts in dummy and played a small club. East put on the jack Leventritt finessed the queen and West won. A club was returned which Leventritt won with the nine, caShed the ace of clubs. went and discarded the jack of diamonds on the queen of hearts.
 
 Remember that finesse has only 50 per cent chance to win. Always try to plan your play to eliminate the finesse if possible.

 RetirementS

For purposes of giving ample mo- tice to persons eligible for retirement City Controller Neil F. Maloney has asked all department heads to file with him 6 list of members of their departments who will attain the compulsory retirement age next year. Mir. Maloney is a member of the Re- tirement Board.
 This is in compliance with the pension act regulations and permits the board and department heads to anticipate forthcoming changes MT. Maloney today told The Democrat.
 Under the provisions of the re- tirement act, a municipal employe must retire when he reaches 70 years of age. Members of the police and fire departments are retired when they reach 65 years.
 Persons who have served 35 years or have reached 65 years of age may retire, but are not compelled to do so said Mir. Maloney.
 Persons holding elective offices are not affected by the age limitations of the pension act.

ANA@A@S~N b with them," these parents are putt ting their heads together now and making plans.
 They want their kids as teen- agers to have their parties at home 50 they are already getting things started in that direction. The children are being encouraged to have their group meetings in their own homes, and basements are being fixed up with a view to future parties.
 The parents figure that if they can plan enough wholesome parties Tor the youngsters. and that if the parents will take turns going along with the crowd. they can keep their children's social life under control.
 Says one mother: we know we can't dictate when 1t comes to de- ciding what kind of parties the kids will have, or who will be included in the group-but we can see that most of the parties are at the kids own homes, and we can see that some of the parents go along on their outings"
 UNITY BRINGS STRENGTH
 That kind of foresight ought to pay off. For all too often trouble comes when kids get from under parental supervision before the parents themselves quite re- alize what is happening. If parents form a group to work together, they are bound to have a better idea of what their young sters are doing and better chance of having a little say-so about what they do. than they would if each set the parents worried over the problem alone.

New York, Dec. 2 --tUP)-- The condition of the stock market has dried up 6 lot of angel money sources for Broadway plays in re- cent weeks, but there is always some new well-heeled packer ready to take Up part of the slack. For ex- ample, Edgar P. Luckenbach, Jr.
 Ed Is 2l, big, blond and pleasant; heir to the Luckenbach shipping fortune. If 1t had't been for the war he'd probably be a junior at Yale about now. but he went from Brooks Prep School into the Navy as an enlisted man and stayed there three years. By the time he got out, his father was dead and he felt 1t was no time to spend four years in college.
 Now, with Richard Krakeur, an experienced producer. he has set up an office in Radio City for the purpose of investing in plays and musicals Eventually he wants to be 6 producer. The young man has no special training in the theater, but he knows what he likes.
 T enjoy the theater and always have," he explained. "Of course l expect to make money"
 When Ed confesses that his pref erence Is for musical shows, the wiseacres grin and point out that any young man would prefer to be around where there are a lot of pretty girls. Gossip columns have been linking his name with several show beauties recently, causing him to protest mildly.
 There are many cheaper ways of getting dates than putting money into Q musical show" he said. "As far as marriage is concerned, I'm too busy for that and expect to stay that way for some time"
 His first investment was in the musical eff the Shoe Fits" which opens here Thursday night after 8 successful tryout tour. He is one of the investors in the revival of 'sBurlesque," which will be along in about a month. And he and Krakeur are reading scripts night and day.
 T haven't had a peaceful mo- ment since I announced my inten- tions," he said. '"The phone rings all the time-well-wishes and peo- pie with scripts. Writers even call up the steamship company offices and take scripts there. think the people down there are little peeved at me"
