Some of the most exciting rub
Der bridge games in the country
are those at the New York
Bridge Whist club, according
to Life Master Harry Feinberg,
formerly of Cleveland and now
in charge of the clubs card
room. Harry says they take
their bridge very seriously, and
the cards 60 right along with
them to make it a serious game.
Today's hand came up in
duplicate game recently held at
the club. At several tables South
made three no trump. At one
table four no trump was made,
at another three no trump went
down one. Six spades was made
and six sapdes also was de-
Heated. At one table Prof.
Ernest Zerner arrived at six
clubs with the bidding shown,
and that was the only contract
on this hand that could not
be defeated.
Following is the play used by
Mrs. Sylvester Gintell to defeat
three no trump. Declarer won
the opening heart lead with the
ace and laid down the ace of
spades. West played the deuce,
dummy the three and Mrs. Gin
tell (East) played the eight-spot.
Declarer reasoned that if the
spade break was a bad one, he
would find the spades in the
West hand, so he cashed his
other high spade and went down
to defeat.
Six spades also was defeated
with nice play. Declarer won the
opening heart lead and ruffed a
heart in dummy, then took two
rounds of trumps and led a club.
If West had made the mistake
of cashing the ace then, there
would have been nothing to the
hand. However, he refused the
first club and won the second.
East was careful to play first
the eight and then the deuce,
showing "down and OUT all
West had to do was to lead the
third club and give his partner
a ruff.

MISS BYRD NAMED
HI SCHOOL QUEEN
Coronation Final Event OF
Talent Contest At
Chadbourn

CHADBOURN, Dec. 19.-Miss
Marqueen Byrd, popular young
lady of the Chadbourn high
student body, was crowned
"Miss Chadbourn High School"
on Friday evening, December
18th.
The coronation was the final
event of a high school talent
contest among the student
group, which was sponsored by
the Junior class of the local
school.
Her crowning was the feature
of the evening, at which time
prizes were awarded to various
groups and individuals for best
talented presentations. Among
the individuals, Judith Thomp-
son was given first prize for her
humorous reading, "You Can
Slap My Mouth" The eighth
grade won the group first award
with a timely Christmas panto-
mine.
Miss Byrd is popular in the
local school, an attractive bru-
nette, is Is years old, and a
junior.
She is well known in Colum-
bus basketball circles, having
played a solid game at guard
position for the past two sea-
sons as member of the Chad
bourn High Lady Panthers.
Last season she was picked as
one of the guards on Jiggs
Powers All-Columbus Basket
ball team. At present she is
playing a forward spot for the
Panthers and bids fair to make
the switch from a defensive
post to an offensive position a
successful one.
The choice of the comely
miss for school queen was a
very popular and an unanimous
one.

Philadelphia Orchestra Give
Veritable Feast of Music

last night was filled to capacity with
the intent type of audience the
Philadelphians are accustomed to
and the performance was rewarded
not by applause alone but also by a
gratifying absorption in the music.
Three numbers seem a short pro-
gram, but when they consist Of Ell
gene Ormandy's transcription Of
Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in u
minor" Brahms symphony No. 3"
and Strauss Don Quixote," it be-
comes a veritable feast of music.
The reason of this, of course, was
the magnificent playing of the Or
chestra and the profound sympathy
with the different styles that Mr..
Ormandy showed in his directing
This music could have been so easily
spoiled without the discernment the
conductor possesses. AS it was, he
was never in better form and the
vividness of the picture of what he
was striving for was so strong in his
mind that vibrations from 1t reached
out to the listeners. At least, there
was in operation that rare COM
munion Of feeling that gives per-

formance an atmosphere to be re-
membered.
1t reached an apex in the Don
Quixote" which has not been given
here for SO many years that it
might almost be called a premiere
Why it has been neglected for SO
long is a mystery, explainable only
by the fact that every phrase of it
has its own Importance that must
be thoroughly grasped or the work
can suffer, and this requires both
time for preparation and infinite
analysis. 1t is Strauss at his best
and in many respects of finer art
istry than in the more familiar tone
poems, for he has for subject what
requires delicacy of perception, COM
passion, poesy of imagination and
the skill to so place it in the orches-
tral tone that it conveys the story
usually, aurally and emotionally.
Strauss has done this with re-
markable refinement and with little
or no recourse to many Of his stand
ard means. The choice of the oboe
for the character of Dulcinea and
the solo cello for that of the Don is
obviously happy but there are minor
instances where his exceptional
tonal knowledge operates keenly in
selecting the instrument to portray
the idea. Mr.. Ormandy's reading of
it was superb as a demonstration of
interpretive structure and descrip-
tive coloring.
The cello, whose solo part stands
out Importantly in the intricate web
of the music, was played by Samuel
Mayes, who at other times occupies
the first chair in that section, and
other solo measures were in the
skilled hands of Samuel Lifshey, first
violist of the orchestra. Mr.. Mayes
in the leading role as it were, gave
an outstanding performance. the re-
markable beauty of his tone and his
artistry especially evident in the
fifth variation. The presentation OF
this work was in commemoration of
the 400th anniversary of the birth
of Cervantes.
The Brahms symphony was espe-
cially commendable for the lucidity
Of Mr.. Ormandy's conception. He
established It's poised atmosphere at
once, yet let its glow and the ideal
ism come to the fore to illumine its
serenity 1t more nearly deserved

Of the music was denuded of any
cloudiness and in appreciation OF
the innate simplicity of Brahms
writing, Ormandy ranks high among
the few conductors who so Under
stand it. The sensitiveness that un-
derlies the mightiness and the lovely
gems that lie hidden in this music
were laid bare in a balanced delivery

it. It's sonorous demands on the

IN full measure. Throughout the
program there was a greater observ-
ance of balance both as concerns the
extremes of volume and the rela-

And in mood, tonal beauty and in
terpretive finesse the concert was
one of the finest the Philadelphians
have given here.

Law Will Compel
Unions To Enter

Atlantic City, N. J.-ILNS) :
In a speech bitterly assailing the
Taft-Hartley labor act, Louis P.
Marciante, president of the New
Jersey State Federation of Labor,
predicted that the law would COM
pei the American Federation of
Labor to enter the political field
"As the law stands today, unions
that attempt to live under it will
be mutilated, and those that do not
will be destroyed" President Mar
ciante told the state federatiOn's
69th convention here.
New Policies Compelled
''The AFL, which has stunned
politics in the past" he continued,
ais now confronted with a new sit
uation that will compel new po ices.
The bill has forced the AFL into
the European pattern OF trade
unionism- half economic, half poll
tical. That means the class system,
no matter how thin you slice it."
Harry C. Harper, State Commits
sioner of Labor, urged labor to do
everything possible to help bust
ness and to create new payrolls.
Other speakers included Harry

are the findings of the several Con-
gressional committees that have
visited Europe to study its prob
lens expected before that date.
No definitive action to aid Euro
pean democracy can be taken with
out Congressional action. President
Truman is reported to be hesitat-
ing in deciding whether or not to
call Congress back before its reg
ular January session begins. Re-
publican leaders including Sen.
Robert A. Taft and Speaker of the
House Joseph Martin have declar-
ed against a special session. Adj
ministration and Congressional
leaders are meeting at the White
House Monday to consider the total
situation.
The report of the Paris confer
ence includes definite goals and
plans for increase in European pro-
duction of foods and basic indus
trial commodities such as coal and
steel. Expansion of petroleum re-
filming facilities and hydro-electric
power plants is also planned. Null
ti-nation cooperation in some pro-
jects is pledged and exchange of
information and a freer inetr-Eu-
rope trade generally is recognized
as necessary to recovery. Several
nations, notably France and Italy,
both hard pressed economically and
confronting grave political dilem-
mas, have signified their desire to
enter into full-fledged customs
unions. Budget and fiscal reforms
are also contemplated for all ma
tions by the report.
While the extent of outside as
sistance requested by the conferees'
final draft seems large, study of
the report will demonstrate that the
s22 billion figure represent a min
imum requirement and presumes
that the output of European work
ers can be increased by hard work
and careful planning while the pop
llations of all of the nations sub

food consumption than that of Am
erican workers, even at current
prices.
