Opening lead: Three of spades.
In bridge as in many other forms
lof competition, there is decided
edge" in favor of the man with
nerve" Bridge players as class
are afflicted with many phobias, not
the least of which is the fear Of
losing an occasional trick. This type
of phobia leads to the indiscreet
grabbing of tricks when such action
could profitably be postponed.
Today refer to the situation in
which dummy holds singleton in a
side suit of which the next hand
holds the ace Not many players
possess the fortitude to refuse the
trick when the singleton is led Off
dummy, so that declarer is, as a
rule, safe in the assumption that
second hand does not hold the ace
when he follows low to the play of
the singleton. Consequently where
declarer holds the king, it becomes
sound practice under these circum-
stances not to put it up, if he pos
sesses some lower honor that might
force the ace. Let us observe how
this might apply to todays hand.
South's bidding may not meet with
the approval of many readers. While
| it is true that he hasn't much in
the way of honor strength, never
thelesS two-Suited hands have great
playing strength and no strenuous
objection should be raised to his
opening. When North responded
with two spades South might well
have subsided, but he was reluctant
to "let go" because, as he reasoned,
If any of his partners values hap
pened to be in the diamond suit,
rather than in clubs. the hand might
fit well enough to offer chance for
game despite the mild response.
North was justified in going to game
when South extended the invitation.
In fact, there was some question as
to whether North had done justice
to the hand by responding with two
spades The hand possesses good
playing strength and a temporizing
bid of two clubs could not be
criticized.
West feeling that declarer Would
have to ruff diamonds in dummy.
opened the three of spades. Declarer
put up the nine from dummy and
held the trick. The seven of dia-
monds was led and had East come
up with the ace the hand would
have become a veritable cinch. mas
much as the ace of hearts was favor
ably located and the diamonds
would have become established after
one ruff. East quite properly ducked.
Even if declarer had both the king
and queen his troubles would not
be over since he would still have a
number of diamonds to dispose of
East preferred to catch somewhat
bigger fish with his ace. South per-
suaded that East did not have the
ace of diamonds. played the jack
in the hope that it might force out
the ace. When this trick was taken
by the queen, the ace and another
trump lead by West, permitted de-
clarer to ruff only one diamond in
dummy Since declarer was obliged
to lose two more diamond tricks he
was defeated two tricks.

The raising of rents on FPHA housing units
strikes an incongruous note in the face of
President Truman's repeated and frantic APP
peals for a reduction in prices as a means of
staving off initiation and resulting depression.
The policy of the FPHA is not local, where
rent raises nave been announced to become
effective June /, but follows a national policy
of the agency affecting housing units over
the nation. Raises have already gone into
effect at New Orleans, and have been an
nounced in Biloxi to become effective July |.
Reason for the increase, FPHA says, is to
bring rents in line with OPA schedules for
communities where the units are located.
During wartime, the agency says, these units
were rented according to a schedule set up
by the War and Navy Departments.
To say the least, this seems somewhat of a
backward approach to the problem.
During wartime earnings were high, with
workers averaging As hours of work and re-

Inadequate Repairs

Repairs of a minor nature were made in the
black-top of Washington avenue in recent
weeks, but the street is still in a bad condi-
tion and it seems to us that something more
fundamental should be done on this import
ant channel of city and county traffic. Pour
ing asphalt into the holes apparently is not
going to work. Sane seems to continue to
wash away under the holes and in a few days
or weeks the holes are pounded down again
and are as bad as they ever were,
Washington avenue, especially in summer
time when much of the population 'migrates"
at various times of the day to the beach, is
one of the most important streets in the city.
Adequate repairs ought to be made now be-
fore the summer season has run its course.
It seems to us that the only adequate ap-
proach to this repair job is to resurface the
entire street. This is the only kind of job
which is going to stick. and the street needs
resurfacing. Anything in nature that is used
a great deal wears out. AND Washington
avenue is just about worn out. 1t needs a
general overhaul.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1947-05-02

several people when only one originally got
into difficulty,
Every newspaper man carries indelible
memories of drowning tragedies-of faces in
a circle staring while a lifeguard works
frantically over some small ~lifeless body; of
beach on a summer holiday; of the CHASTITY,
swishing sound of a respirator machine spell
ing out the hopelessness of the situation with
every stroke; of whole families of the dead
lying on the clammy sand, the dead staring
faces of a father, or a mother, or brothers and
sisters, the other members of the picnic party
whimpering in the crowd and looking on
with unbelieving eyes.
In normal circumstances, such scenes are
better left unmentioned. But drowning is
not such a subject. We want the people of
water sports is here, to reflect on these
things for a moment. Pascagoula is largely
populated with families from the inland part
of the state where there are few bodies of
water. There are thousands of children and
grown people among us who cannot swim,
but who will spend many hours on the beach
this summer, and in the shallow water.
To these people we say: Use caution. Do
not forget for a moment that the water is
dangerous as we'll as pleasant. Do not take
chances. Do not venture your life or the lives
of your children over deep bodies of water
in small boats. Do not forget that there are
step-offs and deep spots in all bodies of water.
The safest thing to do is to learn to swim,
and to swim well, from a qualified teacher,
such as a Red Cross lifeguard, Learn in shall
low water, And until you have learned to
swim, stay out of water above your waist.
and stay out of small boats.

FPHA Rent Raise

ceiving So hours of pay. Since the end of the
war these earnings, naturally, have fallen off
due to a curtailment in hours worked. Then,
too, returning veterans have been given
priority on government units as they became
vacant, and many are occupied by these vet
Grams and their families. Many of the veter-
ans nave returned to old jobs paying normal
salaries which they have to stretch pretty
thin tosmake ends meet in these days of in
creased cost of living. Now for the Federal
government to tack a rent increase ON top of
everything else seems an unfair burden.
Congressman William M. Colmer in a let
ter some time ago to the FPHA regional of
flee at Atlanta, strongly protested the pro-
posed increases, pointing out several of the
factors dealt with here.
If these units were under-priced in rent
ing, the rent should nave been raised long
ago, and not now in the face of the national
drive by the Federal government to reduce
the cost of living.
