When l stepped off the plane at
San Diego, Calf, l had completed
more than 1000 miles of my air
way trip around the country during
which I visited units of the Ameri-
can Contract Bridge League to in
form them of the Leagues fight
against cancer.
At the California-All-Wester
Tournament conducted by the
Western division of the League at
the Del Coronado Hotel, Coro-
nado, I had the pleasure of playing
in the open pair championship with
Clarence Strouse Jr. of Los Angeles
and we. won the event. Strouse is
a very sound, careful player.
We were rather surprised to gel
a very good score for making six
no trump On today's hand. Most
of the North players went down
because they did not give them
selves the correct number of per-
centage plays. Declarer had his
contract if either the spade or club
finesse worked, but the question
vas which finesse to take first.
AS the spade ~finesse would pro-
duce the greater number of tricks,
many of the players took that one
first. When West won with the
queen and shifted to a club, they
decided they would not take that
finesse but would try for a three
three break in hearts-and OF
course they went down.
Strouse won the first diamond in
dummy and led the jack of clubs.
If this finesse failed and East
shifted to a spade, he would not
have to decide Immediately on the
spade finesse. He could go up with
the king, then see if the hearts
would break three-three. If they
did not, he had the spade finesse
in reserve. OF course if this too,
had failed. he would have been
down.
When you have a choice of plays,
try to figure out the one that gives
you the greatest number of
chances

Blessed Forgetfulness

A certain veteran Senator has so
long and SO ~zealously cultivated
the voters of his district that he
remembers thousands of them by
name. a fact in which he has taken
great pride. Times without num-
Der his constituents have been
thrilled and delighted by his un-
canny memory of their names.
But, unfortunately, the Senator was
defeated when he ran for re-elec-
ton recently, and will soon join the
unemployed.

The New Congress

Inc new congress
With the restoration of world peace
still ahead, the domestic economy dis
turbed by initiation and the threat of
strikes, a republican Capitol and demo-
cratic White House, Congress today as
sembles i: its eightieth session.. That it
will be a troubled session is not to be
doubted. Too many major issues beg
solution to warrant the hope that it's
proceedings will be undisturbed.
But there is no reason to doubt that,
despite the political differences that led
to a sweeping republican victory at the
November polls, there can be coopera-
ton between the White House and the
Capitol or matters affecting the public
welfare and the world situation. On the
contrary, there is good reason to believe
the executive and the legislative
branches of the government will both
pull together instead of apart on
most of the great matters before them.
In fact, there is a strong probability
that with the new deal element in gov
eminent disposed of a fair degree har-
mony will be more readily achieved than
when the new deal was the dominating
force in government. The November
election gave President Truman the
right to blaze a trial for himself, on
which he has already done some work.
By presidential order many new deal
bureaus have been closed out, many
steps taken in the direction of domes-
tic recovery from wartime severity, in
Guiding the termination of the period
of hostilities, many powers held by fiat
or enacted into law under pressure
voluntarily surrendered. These things
cannot help but smooth the way for bet
ter relations between the Capitol and
the White House, if President Truman
is guided by sounder advisers than he
chose when he took over upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt's death.
Next to world peace, public interest
probably centers on what Congress will
do with the Wagner Act and other
measures affecting labor. There is rea-
son to think that the Wagner Act will
be revised to give industry equal rights
with labor. This is fair. It is also neces-
sary.
Otherwise labor's leadership, which
acquired or usurped unwonted powers,
with the encouragement of the new
deal, would continue it's dictatorial
course and plunge the nation into an
other wave of strikes which inevitably
would place additional handicaps upon
industrial production and increase in
'flation.
Although there has been talk in GER
tain congressional circles of a uniform
20 per cent income tax reduction it is
obvious that a cut of this sort would
not be wise in view of the staggering
national debt. Congress is not to be
expected to take this step.
On the other hand, it is to be hoped
that appropriations generally will be
trimmed within a comfortable margin
of safety. It is also to be hoped and
expected that Congress will not fail to
turn the country's business back to the
people as quickly as the remaining
measures for peace can be adopted.

BrOughton On Good Health

Former Governor Broughton, who
gave the North Carolina health move
ment special impetus while in office and
is now a member of the Federal Hos
pital Council, expressed the opinion in
a New Years Day broadcast that North
Carolina may lead the nation in a good
health program. Carolinians who have
recognized the need for a more compre-
hensive state effort to improve the
health situation will readily agree that
this is "a contamination devoutly to be
wished"
The Federal Hospital Council will act
in an advisory capacity in the distribu-
ton of federal grants for hospital con-
struction, as provided in the Hill-Bur-
ton Act. The Act provides that the
federal government shall contribute one
third of construction costs with the
state and local governments taking care
of the remaining two-thirds. AS now
set up, the State Medical Care Com
missions plan is to seek a $4,000, 900
appropriation from the General Assem-
bly,, which is scheduled to convene in
Raleigh next Wednesday.
During his broadcast, Mr.. Broughton
remarked:
my interest in a good health pro-
gram for North Carolina was manifest
ed during my term of office as Governor
of the state and I have been gratified
to note that under the leadership of
my distinguished successor, Governor
Cherry, this plan gives every promise
of coming to an early and successful
fruition.
"By lease of the fact that the 1915
General Assembly set up a Medical Care
commission, we already have a state
agency qualified to act. North Carolina
will be able, if it's plan is submitted in
time, to receive approximately $780,
900 under this act (Hill-Burton) for
this current fiscal year which ends next
June 80. This is a grant to the extent of
one-third of the cost of hospital con-
struction. This means that if the state
and local communities put up the other
two-thirds, we will be able to spend in
North Carolina during the next year
nearly $4,000, 900 for hospital facilities.
It is gratifying indeed to all North
Carolinians to know that we are thus
in position to establish a position of
leadership among the states of the ma
tion."
If it took the war to demonstrate
the states inadequate hospital facilities,
and many communities were as bad
off as Wilmington, it is right and proper
that now, with the war wei and the
need still unmet, the state should take
advantage of it's opportunity to share
in the federal grants for construction to
be available when the state legislature
has done it's part.

Letters To The
Editor

Dear Editor:
I would like to take this OPP
portunity to thank the cltlzens Oh
Tabor City and this vicinity Ior
their cooperation in making TINS
mast basketball season a success
The local citizenry was very gen
erous throughout the season IN
making available their cars to tne
team on the numerous trips whlcn
we made.
Particularly | would like to
thank Mr.. Bill Truitt who assisted
me in refereeing the practice
games we conducted at least twice
week. His work enabled me to
concentrate more on the actual
play of the members of the team
during these practice sessions.
| feel that the team played a
fine game during the season and
the honors that came to them We're
the result of courageous and de-
termined play.
I would also like to thank the
sports enthusiastics of the com
nunity who turned out in large
numbers to witness the local cage
team in its home bouts and who
made the trips to see games on
visitors courts. Your support has
meant much to the players and
has been a morale booster all
season.
Yours very truly,
S. w. Caruso,
Coach of Tabor City

Doings of The
Legislature

At the close of he 51st legis-
lative day, 242 bills and resolu-
tons had been introduced in the
Senate, and $40 in the House, for
total of 862, which is just 1919
short of the 1,O61 introduced dur.
ing the same period in 1915. OF
the 862 bills, only 124 were in
| PRODUCED during the first 5 days
of the past week, as compared
to 1S1 during the comparable B
days of the 1915 session. AS sug-
gested in the summary of Febru.
airy %, this apparent "slow down"
| in the introduction rate tend to
produce a shorter session than If
a greater number of bills were
being handed in; for it certainly
means, unless bills are introduced
at a substantially accelerated rate
within the next week or two, that
the legislature will have at least
a smaller volume of bills to attend
20 before it can adjourn, and it
| nav very we'll mean that the
members are giving more time
and attention to matters already
pending than to thinking up new
measures.
AS to this latter point, it is ap-
parent that most committees are
working hard and earnestly to
| dispose of important matters be-
fore them, and major issues are
beginning to come to head and
if not finally disposed OF in com
mittee, to reach the floors OF the
House and Senate. = ,.r

YOUR VOTE is IMPORTANT

week from Tuesday, yes, March Is, IS the
most important date for the future we'll being
of Columbus county that has faced the citizenry
for years.
At that time, voters of Columbus county vii!
he faced with the question: 'Shall my children
continue to 60 to schools with inadequate Ia
cilities or will they be given the opportunity
that other children in North Carolina counties
have"
That question will be wrapped up in the one
million dollar school bond election that the county
board of commissioners are putting before the
people Tuesday week. That election Is the
most important election in the last decades
history of Columbus county.
Regular political elections are important but
not nearly as important as this bond election.
To vote down this proposal would be cultural
suicide for the citizenry of this area and would
throw education back ten years because it would
be at least that long before another set OF coun-
" commissioners would dare put. the issue be-
fore the people
There are people here and elsewhere in Co
lumbus county who are opposed TO the bond
election on just selfish ground-that it would
raise their taxes. Yes. it will raise your taxes
but only $3.50 on the $1,000 evaluation of your
property on the tax-heee ekss~T2 most of us it
would mean only few dollars year. Yer.
