East was dealer and opened with
one spade, which was perhaps just
a shade under the requirements;
South passed and West was one of
those who wants to play no-trump.
He had an honor count of four and
one-half and with these cards fig
ured that East, in order to make his
opening, must have two shoppers in
clubs. He called two no-trump and
when East responded with three
spades, West had visions of a pos
sible slam and rebid three no-trump,
which remained the contract.
Norths' opening lead was the five
of clubs, which showed South when
East laid down the ace-king-one of
that suit that his partners three
cards higher than the five must be
the ten, nine and eight. Accord
ingly, to get him in he must unblock.
He threw the queen of clubs on
dummy's king. Declarer then led
the jack of diamonds, hoping to
establish that suit. South went up
with the ace and returned the jack
of clubs, which was won by dummy S
king. Declarer next tried the spade
finesse and it failed North was
now in and ran three clubs, which
set the contract because South had
unblocked.
But for his partners persistency
in playing no-trump, East could
have made four spades, losing only
two spades and one diamond. If
declarer had ducked the first club
in playing his no-trump contract, he
could have Jared better.

Veteran Credits Scoutcraft
With Saving Lives in War

The Boy Scout troop which Capt
Lee Vest founded in Minneapolis by
mail during his three and one hall
years in a Japanese prison camp is
f1ourishing. In one of the 10 letters
his captors permitted him to write
he said:
Dear Mother and Dad:
Draw on my savings and start a
Boy Scout troop at the church"
The letter reached his parents In
February. 1945. Mr.. and Mrs. H. L.
Vest took it to the Rev. Forest L.
Richeson of the Portland Avenue
Christian Church. Troc.' SO was
organized. The captain reached
home the next October, had dinner
with his family and an hour later
was in the troop room getting ac-
quainted with his Scouts.
There followed months Of treat
ment in an Army hospital. But when
his health was restored he became
scoutmaster of the troop he founded

My Kitty
Prize Contribution
By Gerald Anderson, 6
Bornord Kindergarten

I have cat. I found her in the
alley. She was kitten. She liked
to play. When she saw a door open
she would stick her paw through
the crack at my finger. We called
this the finger game" She is a
grown cat now, but she still likes to
play the finger game"
One morning I opened the door
and found five baby kittens in her
box. The mother cat looked very
proud. Two of the kittens had white
paws, and three had gray paws. 1t
was fun to watch them play.
The mother cat licked them all
day. She thought she was giving
them a bath. They did not like this.
One day when they were old enough
to leave their mother. my mother
really gave them a bath.
We found five nice homes for
them. The mother cat did not care,
because cats are like that.

AS spoiled as many small chill
dren, Donald likes a lot of atten-
ton. We watched him squat be-
side the Bristow boys while they
sat at play on their lawn. They
ignored him until he plucked at
their sleeves. Then they brushed
him aside and he picked himself
up, shook his tail feathers and
waddled back over to them to try
again to get their attention. Sew
.eral times he repeated his act,
then wandered off disconsolately
muttering duck language.
Airplanes worry Donald consid-
erably. Whenever one cruises low
over the Bristow home he cocks his
head, stares into the sky and lis
tens for an instant, then scram-
bles for cover. One day, fright
ened by a plane, he made a beeline
for Mrs. Bristow, who was stand
ing in the yard Safe at her feet
he regained his composure-and
to prove his nonchalance tugged
her shoelaces undone.

Uncle Rays
Corner
By Romon Coffmon

One of the favorite prizes Of young
fishermen Is the sunflsh, or, as 1t is
sometimes called. the pumpkins
seed" The sunfish is related to the
bass. When full grown 1t has a
length of from 6 to 10 inches. It's
oval. almost round form and its
bright, shiny colors may explain why
it was given the name of sunish.
These small fish live in fresh water
and travel about in schools" They
may be caught with hook dropped
from line held in the hand.
1t is a good idea to use cork on
the line, above the sinker. That
will keep the hook from falling too
far down. There is quite a thrill
when the cork Is pulled under water
and you know that something is at
the end Of the line.
Ocean Sunfish Different.
The ocean sunflsh is different from
the fresh-water sunf1sh. Some Of
the larger members of the tribe have
been found to weigh more than half
a ton and to measure 10 feet long.
Ocean sunfish have the habit of
rising to the surface and floating
about. They lie on their sides and
bask in the warm rays of the sun
from early morning to sunset. From
time to time they gobble up a jelly
fish or other small sea animal.
Despite the great size of their bodies
their mouths are small.
Other interesting fish are the
"swell-fish" or buffers" These fish
are natives Of southern seas, but
sometimes come to the North At
lantic to spend the warmer months
of the year. The names arose from
an interesting habit. When under
the surface the puffer is shaped
something like perch-though it Is
many times as large. II the fish Is
brought to air it will swell until it
looks like basket ball. This is be-
cause 1t draws in a great deal of
the air.
Found In Sharks.
TulIcIS OlIeH TlSS 10 LIl6 surface
of the sea, and float. At such times
they fill up with air and bob around
IN the waves like large corks. In
the Gulf of Mexico, puffers reach
length of about three feet, and
a weight of five or six pounds.
Puffers are sometimes caught with
hook and line. More commonly
they are taken in nets. Of the coast
of Long Island, a net may bring up
a hundred of these curious crea-
lures.
In at least a few cases, puffers
have been found alive in the stom-
achs of sharks, the big fish having
swallowed them whole. One case
is on record where puffer which
had been swallowed by a shark ate
its way out of the body.
| There are many kinds of puffers,
and most of them have sharp
prickles over their bodies. One
kind has such long prickles that
| it is known as the "porcupine fish. -

with B. S. in biology before he en-
tered the medical department of the
Army in 1912. He was wounded in
France late in 1914.
Pfc. Frank Hine, who received
fourth award at Walter Reed, is a
Washingtonian who graduated from
Central High School in 1912 when
he was only IT. He was paratroop-
er of the 503d Parachute Regiment,
and was wounded on Corregidor
Is months ago. He had not studied
art prior to joining the service.
Il first got interested in art over
seas" he said. "I sketched profiles
of my buddies and sent them home
as memories"
He, too, regards art as hobby,
and plans to become an engineer.
But his distractions reveal unusual
talent, and art will doubtless be a
pleasant recreation for him in the
future.
Makes Self Portrait
Sergt. Robert Barlow of Balti-
more, who also showed a large num-
ber of water colors in the Walter
Reed exhibition, expects to attend
an art school and to become COM
mercial illustrator. After gradual
ing from high school he entered the
Army Air Forces in 1912, and spent
two and a half years in England.
He follows the tradition of natural
ism, well suited to the type of work
he hopes to accomplish.
TIA Raymond Kubacki of Roches-
ter, N. Y, has taken up the study
of art lust for fun" he said. anG
had no previous experience. Never
theless, at Walter Reed, he has
painted very creditable likeness
of himself in water color "a difficult
medium for portraits) and a number
of other works. He has been in
the Army nearly four years, in the
Pacific theater with the 18th Air
Force as a cryptographer; has been
hospitalized for seven months. He
plans to study commercial photog-
raphy and make it his profession
One of the most promising art
students the corps here has had to
date is Francis Monico, who has
done good work in several fields
with the art groups both at Walter
Reed and Forest Glen. He had
studied sculpture at Cooper Union,
New York, for thre months prior
to his service. At college he ma
lored in English and wrote poetry.
Interested in political cartoons, he
made a number of clever items in
this field at Walter Reed. Recently
he has been working with a drama
group, writing radio scripts. 1t is
not surprising that a young man
with so many interests has not yet
decided which of them he wants to
develop into life work.
No Previous Training

of the second award in the Walter
Reed exhibition, works on simple
design and color at a bedside table.

There were 80 or 40 former Boy
Scouts in camp" Mr.. Vest said,
Americans, British. Dutch, Aus
tralians and Canadians. We orga-
nized and met frequently to talk
about the good times we had had.
We played the old Scout games and
sang the Scout songs.
1--WE talked about how so many
people at home didn't hold up their
end in civic and Government affairs.
We decided Scouting was means of
overcoming such an attitude and told
each other we'd do something about
it when we got home.
That's what I'm trying to do"

gave him to their young sons.
The boys had asked for a kitten,
but their parents got the duckling
instead, thinking it would be less
trouble to get rid of him when the
boys interest waned.
Travels in Basket.
But fate played strange trick on
them, and the duckling found its
way into their hearts. So a few
weeks ago, as part of the family
he was tucked into a bushel basket
for a vacation trip to the beach.
The Bristows hope Donald gets
interested in some duck friends at
the beach and decides to remain
with them. But some of the neigh
bors are willing to bet that he re-
turns with the family this fall.
On trip to the beach last spring
Mr.. and Mrs. Bristow told the bows
they would leave the duck there,
explaining he would be happier than
he would be at home, cooped up in
pen.
Amuses Neighbors.
But the parents had not reckoned
with their own attachment to the
pet. They let the duck run loose
for the first time and discovered
how he tagged the boys around,
and in how many other ways he
was like the usual pet. When the
time came to leave, they packed
Donald into his basket again and
brought him home.
From that time on, he was loose
all day and accompanied the boys
in their play throughout the neigh
borhood. He was constant source
OF amusement for the neighbors.
Recently we glanced out the win
dow to see a little girl scampering
across our lawn, her eyes big as
saucers and tears streaming down
her face. with Donald in hot pur-
suit. Evidently no one had told
her that Donald followed every one
like that-that he didn't want to
nip her but just wanted her COM
pany.

You know how hard it is to get

not follow when you leave home.
