Dad Who Pui Harold Lloyd in Tops, Dies al
 Hollywood in Hospital

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 18-lR-The man who started Harold Lloyd in the movies-his father, J. Darsie Lloyd-is dead.
 The comedian producers father died yesterday at the age of 83 in Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital after a weeks illness with pneu- monia, complicated by heart trouble.
 It was the elder Lloyd's flip of 1 a coin that settled his acting sons future, the comedian-now 54 and a millionaire-recall- ed.
 Young Harold had been bitten by the acting bug in Omaha and his father decided to let him have good whirl at it. The only question was: where to start, New York or California, where those new-fangled movies were being made
 Dad Lloyd tossed coin, and the flip set them on the Westward trail. A year later, 1913, Harold made his first film appearance as an Indian in an old Edison Com pany production at San Diego.
 A decade later, after Harold had become famous as the bespectacled grandma's boy, he formed his own Harold Lloyd Corp, and installed his father as president and general manager, a post he re- tained until his death.

CHIEF ENGINEER OF
 COASTAL RAMBLER K
 RESIDENT OF JUNEAU

Clare Trough, Chief Engineer on the freighter Coastal Rambler, is a native Juneauite, born and raised here. He left Juneau in 1886, but he still regards it as his home, and his daughter, Audrey, was also born here. Trough was recently initiated into the local Elks Lodge.
 During the war he was chief en- gineer on the Bowline Knot. sister ship of the Coastal Rambler. It was equipped with a hospital unit, and left Les Angeles for Manila in May of 1945.
 When the war ended the hospital unit was left in Manila, and in the ensuing year the Bowline Knot transported oil between Manila and Nagasaki. It was one of the first American vessels to arrive at either Nagasaki or Sasebo after the sec ond atomic bombing.
 Fred Bliss, the second assistant engineer on the Coastal Rambler, was also a member of the Bowline Knots crew during it's operations in the Far Pacific. The ship was later assigned to the Philippine Republic, and is now sailing under the Philip pine flag.

Wheather to play a contract at
no trump or a suit is a matter of
far more Importance in tourna-
ment bridge than in rubber bridge.
In rubber bridge you choose what
you consider the safest contract,
and you are not greatly interested
in whether you make 100 or 100
points. But in tournament bridge,
if you can make four hearts or
four no trump, you had better
play it at no trump because it
counts ten points more. AS a result
the average player in tournaments
tries to play too many hands at
no trump, especially when the
correct contract is a minor suit.
For some reasons, the inexper-
fenced tournament player seems to
think that If he can make five clubs
or five diamonds, he certainly can
make three or four no trump.
At no trump, d~eclarer at best
can take only eight tricks with
today's hand and he may take
less if a heart is not opened. Nice
play will produce game in club.
South's bid of one no trump was
rather odd. He could have rebid
clubs if for no other reasons than
to tell his partner that he was not
on a short club suit. However, he
preferred to show more strength
and to tell North that he thought
he had the heart suit stopped.
With his singleton heart, North
was correct in showing support in
clubs. When South went to four
clubs, right out of the three no
trump zone, North was entitled to
stretch his hand a little with the
five club bid.
When the opening heart lead
held, West shifted to the four OF
clubs. Dummy's jack won, a small
spade was led and East was forced
to 20 in with the king. Now East
could lead a heart, hoping to make
Declarer won with the ace, cahed
my before the spade suit was
established; or he could lead a
diamond. With four trumps in
dummy, the heart lead looked
hopeless, so East led a diamond.
DeclarerWon with the ace, cashed
the queen of trumps and ruffed a
heart in dummy. The losing heart
was discarded on the ace of
spades, and when the spade suit
broke. South discarded his two
losing diamonds on the nine and
eight of spades.
