 She isn't buying everything at one store, either. For, with a wide variation in the prices of individual items at the different stores, she has found that it pays her to shop around

Polio Victim Designs Flag For Canada

Ottawa, July 23-(UP)-A new Canadian national flag, designed by a 13-year- old nfantile paralysls victim to reconcile differences be- tween French-speaking National ists and English-speaking 1mper- ialists, soon may be adopted by the government.
 The Canadian government was reported prepared to adopt the na- tion's first distinctive design by order-in council rather than by risking passage of a controversial act in Parliament.
 Bitter conflict in Parliament be- tween the Nationalists from Quebec and Imperialists from Ontario would be certain should legislation be introduced to adopt the new flag The order-in council would fore stall much acrimony.
 The government invited the pup lie in 1945 to submit suitable de- signs for a new flag. When Par lament began it's 1946 session, g. 409 suggested flags deluged the leg islators. The final design chosen was created by 13-year-old Donald Baird of Truro, Nova Scotia, polio victim.

While the plane trip to Cali fornia was the first air ride for sev- eral of our members, they soon for got they were in the air and settled down to serious discussion of bridge, during which todays hand came up.
 You can see that the declarer has two illnesses Which one should he take first? ..s
 Of course we know that if the king jack and one spade and the king of clubs are all in the East hand there is no chance to make the contract.
 The experts agreed that the first fineSse to be taken was the club, and if it held, a safety play could be made by leading the ace of spades. With this line of play you actually make seven-odd, as the extra club can be discarded on the good diamond,
 Of course if the club finesse failed, the spade finesse would have to be taken.
 North's bid of four clubs and South's bid of four hearts were ace-showing bids. While the eX- perts do use slam conventions at times, they still find that ace showing or control bids are safer than a plunge into blind four no trump ace-asking bid. Very often the four no trump bid will in- dicate the only line of defense to defeat the contract. However, when the important thing to find out about hand is aces, the expert does not hesitate to use the Black wood Convention.

Little Tin Doctors
 Rapped by Dr. Brady

this sense than I arn) find it oner- ous to pay for the brass specialists and the little tin doctors after they stallments on the car, radio, refri- gerator etc So it is up to Con- gress, the State or the community to correct the unbearable situation A brass specialist is a doctor who competes directly with the genera practitioners in the community by bidding for public patronage on the basis of his mere cheek in holding himself out to the public as a spe- cialist. Of the 10000 specialists ir practice at present (among 160,00t physicians in the United States)- well, certainly most of them are that kind of animal. A real special iSt is doctor who limits his prac- tice to his chosen field and depends upon the confidence and respect o1 his colleagues, who refer patients tc him for his advice or call him in consultation when they have diff cult or unusual cases where his ex- perience and skill may be useful Experience, I said. The brass spe- cialists, of course, skips all that he begins practice as specialist without wasting ten or fiftten years in general practice first. What does he need of experience?
 The little tin doctors are nurses practical, trained, registered, Sairey- gamps, who do not hesitate to diag- nose, prescribe for and treat ail- ments and injuries on their own.
