Thomas Gray once wrote. Where ignorance Is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." That has long since been proved a poets fancy but people even today are prone to accept this notion as the truth. Science has shown that ever increasing knowl- edge can ease the path of mans ex- istence. Advancements in medi- cine in the past half-eentury have increased the life expectancy of the average American from about 45 years of age@t to 65.
 Diseases that once meant almost certain death, today are considered minor illnesses. quickly controlled by miracle medicine and modern techniques of surgery. Many con tagious diseases, that once killed millions, are controlled by immuni- zation. Injuries, wounds and infec- tions no longer hold the terror of death for most people. Science has done these thingS-not ignorance.
 Cancer, one of the two greatest killers of Americans, still takes an appalling toll of human life. About 184,O0O people in this country are expected to die of cancer in 1947. But science has not failed entirely in reckoning with this disease. With methods already at hand. at least one-third of those who die of cancer could be saved if they aban- doned their philosophy that "igno-

Much has been written about
the ill effects on families caused
by the doubling up which occurs
as a result of the housing crisis.
Probably the ones who suffer the
most from living too closely with
grandparents, aunts and uncles or
other families are the children.
Not only do they reflect their
parents problems but they have
an added set of their own which
comes from having too many
adults around who give too many
and often conflicting directions.
The solution lies in adequate
housing and not in a set of rules
by which to make the best of
things as they are; nevertheless,
there is one rule which parents
should insist that all of the adults
involved agree to follow.
IT IS essential for the secur-
itY of the child that the author
itY for him be vested only in
his parents. with everyone else

Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby

Thanks to M. o. A. Baig, Charge
d'Affaires at the Embassy Of Paki-
stan, I am at last able to shed
little light on the worlds newest
geographical name-Pakistan.
The exact origin of the name is a
little uncertain. But, states MIR.
Baig, this is the theory that is
widely held among MoSlems:
Some 20-odd years ago, the Mos
lem poet, Muhammed Iqbal, wrote
of promised land or Utopia which
might someday be established by
Moslems In Northwestern India.
This ideal state, where the Moslem
way of life would prevail under a
free Moslem rule, was pictured by
Iqbal as consisting roughly Of the
territories of the Punjab, Kashmir,
and Sindh.
In order to select name for his
imaginary promised land the poet
took the initial letters of Pun1ab,
Kashmir, and Sindh (P. K. s., COM
bined them with the Persian word
stan, country" and coined the
name Pakistan, pronounced PAHK-
ee-STAHN."
Mr.. Big writes to me that when
the Moslems, in the course of the
last decade or two, hoped to form
a separate state, Pakistan appeared
to be the most appropriate name to
be given to the new Moslem country,
although it does not now follow the
exact geographical boundaries OF
the poets dream"
In q way, the name Pakistan Is
similar to the famous Shangri-la,
which, in James Hielton's novel,
Lost Horizon" Is also the name Of
a paradise on earth. The people
live in such perfect environment,
and the climate is so ideal, that they
remain youthful, happy and vigor-
Gus for incredibly long years.
Let us hope that the similarity in
the origins of Pakistan and Shangri-
la will stand as good omen of the
peace and prosperity which may
smile upon the Moslems now that
they have at last reached their
promised land-Pakistan.

Opening lead: Five Of clubs.
Many players form an early i'm
preston about a hand and nothing
that they learn from the subsequent
bidding can defect them from their
one-track course. In today's hand
the first two rounds of bidding were
eminently sound, but South's bid of
three no-trump was inexcusable.
He had formed the preconceived no.
tion that this was a three no-trump
hand, and the fact that partner
warned him distinctly against 1t
made no impression. 1t is true that
the South hand is of the no-trump
type, but that does not excuse him
for having failed to listen to North's
description of his hand.
North's hand was obviously un-
suited to no-trump play or he would
not have taken the trouble to bid
three diamonds, he would have bid
three no-trump. South's proper bid
at this point is three hearts, which
North would carry to game. Only
two heart tricks and diamond
would be lost. At the no-trump con-
tract. against the club opening,
South was helpless to take more
than seven tricks.
South argued that he could not
raise the hearts because he did not
have normal trump support. This
argument was without basis. The
three heart bid is not a raise. but
a mere preference. 1t says In effect:
Partner, you must remember that
I refused to raise your hearts. I pre-
ferred to bid two no-trump because
I would like to play this hand at no.
trump. If however, you insist upon
playing it as a suit, we might Just
as well play 1t at hearts as at dia-
monds because have just as many.
However, would appreciate your
taking me back to no-trump II you
possibly can"
1t was also suggested that North
should not permit the hand to play
at no-trump. This Is not good
reasoning. North has already shown
that he desires to play the hand at
suit and has been overridden in his
judgment by South. To dispute any
further would be babying gesture
toward his partner.
A good general doctrine to follow
Is that when your partner has
shown two suits, try within reason
to show a preference, particularly
where your preference is for a
major.
South has already stated that he
desires no-trump. To repeat 1t by
bidding three no-trump is in effect
telling the same story twice.
