.Goren on Bridge

~ Pass 4no-trump Pass
Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Four of diamonds.
A momentary lapse proved costly
to several of the players who held
the above hand in the Masters Pair
championship recently held in
Brooklyn. The event was won by
Frank Wiesbach of Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Allan Harvey of Louis
vile, Ky. While some gentlemen of
the press and many Eastern players
were inclined to look upon their
victory as major upset, their view
was not shared by this observer, who
in his turns through the West had
occasion to compete against the new
champions on number of occasions
and found them to be players of the
first rank and fully qualified to wear
the crown.
The hand shown today was bid to
six spades at most tables, though
some elected to stop at five. In most
cases the contract for IL tricks was
brought home without difficulty but
in one or two instances sheer care
lessness accounted for the loss Of
the hand. After winning the open
ing lead. declarer drew the trumps
in two rounds and then realizing
that he must limit his loss to one
trick in the club suit, forthwith
played the ace of clubs. After this
slip no correction was possible.
The hand lends itself readily to
an elementary strip and end play
and the contract can be safeguarded
against any distribution of the cards
after the trumps have broken. De-
clarer should simply cash the two
top hearts and then the king and
queen of diamonds This eliminates
all the red cards from both hands.
A low club is then led toward dummy
and If West does not play an honor
the nine of clubs is played from the
North hand, If this drives out the
king. there is no further work. II
the nine loses to the jack, East will
find it rather painful to lead. A re-
turn of red card will permit South
to discard the losing club from his
own hand while he ruffs in dummy,
and club return settles that situa-
ton very nicely no matter how the
honors in that suit happen to have
been distributed.
The bidding sequences at the vari-
Gus tables were more or less uni
form. After the cheering response of
one spade, North elected to make
Jump shift, forcing TO game and
suggesting a slam with call of
three diamonds. South returned to
the first suit being unwilling to re-
bid the weak spade suit and lacking
hearts for no-trump call. After
the four heart bid South's four no
trump was not Blackwood, but an
effort to get out cheaply. At this
point North decided it was high
time to stop torturing his partner
and assumed responsibility for the
slam himself.

An application for a Southern
TranScontinental air route from
Florida to California, serving
Key West, was filed Friday with
the Civil Aeronautics Beard by
National Airlines, Inc, it was an
nounced today by G. T. Baker,
president o National, one of the
major domestic and international
air carriers, now operating a
system between New York, Flor
ida, Cuba and New Orleans

In its application to the CAB,
National seeks to bridge an i'm
portant gap in the country's do
nestle air pattern by inaugural
ing the first direct, one-carrier
service between Florida and
California. Baker pointed out
that the proposed service would
establish a new transcontinental
trunk which would provide Flor
ida with the same type of one
plane, through, oast-to-coast air
transportation as has been en-
joyed for years by northern and
central sections of the country.
Operations of the new route by
National would couple Key West
by air with II western cities.
The route would extend from
San Francisco and Los Angeles
to Miami and Jacksonville,
through Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas, New Orleans and other
Gulf Coast ports.
All told, Nationals Southern

GAIT LAKE CITY.-Utoh is
- planning to glorify the sun
bonnet. That popular head
covering of grundmother's day
will be used as the DESIGN for
q special crown to be worn by
the states l947 Centennial
Queen.
The idea was conceived by
Mrs. E. E. Erickson who felt it
was high time to break away
from the traditional conception
of the royal crown and develop
one for Utah that symbolized
pioneer traditions.
Tentative plans call for the
royal sunbonnet" to be fash
toned of metals mined in Utah
Gold, silver, and copper. Sego
lilies, the state flower, will be
used in decorative motifs.
Although grandmother never
dreamed her home made bonnet
would be worn by royalty"
Daughters of Utah Pioneers feel
the gold sunbonnet will mean
more to Wasatch Valley folk
than a fancy diadem.

heavy favorites to,Njh. the, results

USO Group Mores
To Keep building
For Recre alton

At their first meeting of the
New Year, the Committee o.
| Management of the Jackson
Square USO went on record
Monday on motion of Joe Pearl
man to do all in its power te
maintain this facility as a Com.
munity Recreational Center ir
the years following the close Of
the USO, to actively support al
action in this direction and Il
oppose any move that will inter.
fere with the recreational aspect
of the structure.
Frank Adams, USO director
pointed out that while lack Of
funds will curtail to a degree
USO activities throughout the
country the Key West operation
during l947 will be maintained
on its present basis. He said that
heavy service participation dur
ing the past six months of OPP
Grafton proves the need of con-
tinuation of the service.
During 1916, March and De-
cember were the big months
with more than $4,000 men each
month using the facilities. jan
uary, l947, will top this figure
if the last half of the month is
as active as the first.
A word of appreciation was
entered in the minutes for the
efforts of Lee Mason in bringing
about the joint sponsorship of
Dixie Hall by the negro VIEW,
and American Legion. Mrs. Eli
leen Coughlin reported on serv-
ice wives activities which are
in full swing and available to all
military wives in this area.
Harold Laubscher reported on
the mutual effectiveness of hav-
ing the Chamber of Commerce
desk at the USO and the many
out-of-town folks who have
been attracted to this facility.
Capt. Carl Hilton mentioned that
