Honoring Bishop Darst

It is old and trite, but oh! so true
The time for flowers is when the re
cipient is hale and hearty.
This was what prompted the Will
mington Kiwanis club to do special
honor to it's honorary member, Bishop
Thomas C. Darst, on Tuesday evening
with the wives of members in their lest
bibs and fuckers at a banquet in st.
Paul's parish house, served by the ladies
of the church.
It was indeed a gala event, for
Bishop Darst is richly and rightly loved
not only for his spiritual leadership but
his fine human virtues as well, and be-
sides is one of the few living charter
members of the club. Bishop Wright,
his successor in the Diocese of East
Carolina, in his brief remarks cited
some sixteen men whom Bishop Darst
had led into the ministry. A splendid
achievement, this, but we like to dwell
in addition on the thousands of men
and women in distress who have found
the way out of their troubles through
his friendship and ministration.
We like to think that because he has
the same attribute attributed by Leigh
Hunt to Abou Ben Adhem, "his name
led all the rest"
So far as the Kiwanis club is con-
cerned, and for that matter, Whining
ton and all East Carolina Diocese, his
name will always lead as a great
Christian and sincere devotee of the
humanities.

McKenney On
BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, is n OF
the biggest tournament bridge cen
tiers in the country today. 1t has
its fair share of champion players,
but in addition there are hundreds
of people in Indianapolis who play
duplicate bridge but never partic-
ipate in a major tournament. This
is largely due to the efforts of Mrs.
Grace B%uschmann, who teaches
bridge and conducts games for
literally thousands of people there
every year.
Mrs. Buschmann sent me an in
teresting hand which brings out a
point l often Notwithstanding
your tricks. The opening lead is
won in dummy with the ace of
hearts, and we will assume that a
small diamond is led. Declarer
takes the finesse and the king
wins. Another heart comes back,
and now, regardless of how the
diamond suit is played, declarer
can make only n diarcon trick.
Mrs. Buschmann points out that
if declarer counts his three spade
tricks, two heart and two club
tricks, he will know that he must
make two diamond tricks for his
contract. The only thing he has to
guard against is four diamopds
in one hand. If the diamonds are
divided three-two, the fourth dia-
mond will make the extra trick.
Therefore the correct play on the
first diamond trick is the ace to
protect against a singleton honor
making.
Too many players take it for
granted, with a combination like
this, that they must take a finesse.
Then they complain of hard luck,
when in reality they just failed to
count their tricks.

Keep Within The Rules

We have v been able to under
stand what pleasure there is in chasing
a little ball all over the county with
periodical bunts into a hole, but golf
must have it's good points, else so
many people would not be playing it.
Widely %patronized, as it is on Sat-
urdays, Sundays and holidays particu-
larly, it has been found necessary to
draw up ground rules, as we baseball
fans say, to prevent traffic Jams and
enable players to get home before their
lald-away suppers turn to cinders in
the oven.
Probably if the rules were care
fully observed there would not be much
delay except for inability to place the
ball where the inexperienced PLAYER
wants to have it. But because thew are
not universally obeyed it is comn1ain-
ed that shots have to be POSTPONED, as
it seems, lnterminably, and the pame

enty-four rounds, or whatever is the
proper golf term.
One rule, we are informed, is that
no pair or quartette, squad, companv or
regiment shall start shooting within
two shots of the players ahead. Anoth.
er is that no single player shall make
the rounds alone at peak periods. This,

my mind. 1t showed a two-months
old baby lying naked upon a meat

cutters block like the ones used
in any butcher shop. On the block
too, was a butchers cleaver lying
pointedly beside the baby.

was: Fresh Babies, Is cents per

Ghastly? Yes. But was it any
more CHASTITY than those 308, 978

of the world? And who cost, just

Maybe the gentlemen who sit in
the high places of the nations OF
the world, dressed in getaways and
striped trousers, and who spoke
in diplomatic language of the
Treaty of Versailles and the League
of Nations and the Locarno Pact,
and all those other paper decisions
to outlaw war, maybe those gentle
men didn't see the picture of that
baby lying there on that butchers

And maybe the Messrs. Byrnes,

There are some figures releas-
ed by the War department today
that should be written in red and
sent Immediately to the so-called
Big Four ministers who are meet
ing in Paris, where they have
spent too much time getting no.
where in what should be an earnest
effort to weld a peace that will be
lasting.
These figures are the first con-
solidated postwar casualty roll.
They show the numbing fact that
308, s78 Americans are officially
listed as either dead or missing
in action; these out Of more than
10, 600, 900 Ger and women mobiliz-
ed in the U. S. Army for service
in the Second World War.
There is something ominous
sounding to me about that Second
World War;" made ominous by the
fact that there is entirely too much
WraHgling among the ministers
about any future peace. Ominous,
perhaps, because after two or
three attempts these ministers have
reached not even a few minor
understandings. There is not even
the slightest indication that an
olive branch is wi1ging its way to
the council tables of these minis
tiers.

Lawrence Stallings, native North
Carolinian, published a book OF

Time Grows Short

At this writing the Senate and the
House are poles apart on n provision
of the legislation to extend the life
of the Office of Price Administration.
The Senate had decided to eliminate
price control on meat next Sunday
night. The conference committee elid-
ed this from the bill submitted to the
house, which not only restored this
control but included other food COM
modities including poultry and dairy
products, as we'll as rents.
With the bill sent back to the Sem
ate with these controls enumerated,
Senator Wherry, republican leader in
the upper branch Immediately crack
ed the whip in an effort to arouse the
opposition to negative action. Without
favorable vote on the bill as passed by
the House, it must be returned to con-
ference.
In this event there are matters that
need attention. Granted that no one
likes the measure as it now stands it
must be approved in one form of an
other before midnight on Sunday or
the OPA will expire automatically. In
that case all price controls will end.
Granting that the OPA has not sue
ceeded in blocking initiation, it is to be
questioned if it's elimination will not
give free rein to runaway prices on
everything. This is not intended as a
defense of OPA's past. 1t is a sugges-
ton that without some form of control
over the things that go into the peoples
market basket and of rents, prices will
skyrocket and lead in time to worse
depression than in 1929. If the bill now
returned to the senate is allowed to
die in conference, this is what the
American people must expect.
Perhaps, when supplies were more
plentiful, the OPA could have been
done away with to the benefit of
everybody, with the law of supply and
solving the price problem. Now
that the nations supplies for civilian
consumption have dwindled far below
normal, a revamped OPA with a practi-
cal instead of its old fanciful program.
and a sensible formula of distribution
can put meat and other gastroromic
necessities back on the dinner table, al
belt at higher prices as a result of the
industrial wage increases granted un-
labor by the administration for po-
litical purposes.
