Chest Funds Help Give Hearing to Boy of 3

A 3-year- old boy. believed to have
been totally deaf since birth, now
can listen to music and recognize
other sounds through hearing aid,
thanks to the Washington Hearing
Society.
The knowledge that their baby
could not hear came to Brad's
mother and father gradually. Ihey
noticed he would not turn when
they spoke to him. Whether he
was asleep or awake, he never
started at loud noises.
When Brad was about year old
his parents took him to a doctor.
The doctor said he had no hearing
at all and traced his handicap to a
light case Of German measles his
mother had suffered i've months
before he was born.
Brad's mother decided to begin
Immediately to DO everything she
could to make it easier for her son.
She sent to the John Tracy Clinic
In California for courses in teach
ing children and read everything
she could find about deaf children.
The Washington Hearing Society,
o Red Feather agency Of the Com
munity Chest Federation, proved OF
great assistance to her. She attend
ed its parent training courses for a
year. There parents discussed their
children, how to teach them and
how to handle emotional problems
which might result from deafness.
They discussed the local resources

will oppose such a relationship.
Mr.. Attlee said the British labor
government regretted Fire would not
be a member of the commonwealth
"The Fire government have, how
ever, stated that they recognize the
existence of a specially close relation
ship between Fire and common
wealth countries and desire this re-
Ilationship should be maintained,
he added.
1.-THE United Kingdom government,
for their part, also recognize the
existence of these actualities and are
at one with the Fire government in
desiring that close and friendly re-
lations should continue and be
strengthened"
Mr.. Churchill snorted that the
governments action left relations
with Fire just where they had been
for the past 10 years.

But Brad's deafness could not be

mother entered him in class at the

The society tried all kinds of hear

Goren on Bridge

| " ~ dSS dSS Z dSS
| Opening lead, five of hearts.
Bidding at contract bridge would
be complete chaos unless there were
definitely accepted methods for
showing strength. The most usual
way to display power Is to jump
the bid. True enough some jumps
are stronger than others.
A Jump rebid by the opener, in
the same suit, is a strong invitation,
but responder may pass If his first
response was not up to standard
and he was just testing his luck.
However, jump in new suit is the
strongest of all rebids and is an
absolute demand for game, and re-
sponder must keep going no matter
how much he regrets his original
indiscretion in keeping the bidding
open.
There is case where jump does
not show generally strong hand
and that is when responder raises
an opening bid of one heart or one
spade directly to four of that suit,
without any further ado. This is
popularly known as "shutout" bid,
but I am firmly convinced it is un-
fortunate that this term "shutout"
has gained such wide currency, 1t
has led to some unsound thinking.
A better way to state the case Il
this: Responder's jump from one to
four Is used to show a hand with
great trump strength and distribu-
ton but not much honor strength.
1t by no means compels partner to
shut up" II that's all opener needs
for a slam he Is at perfect liberty
to 60 ahead and bid it. but he must
not expect to find high cards In the
dummy.
Now a Jump rebid by the opener
to four is in an entirely different
category. This bid cannot mean
lots of trumps but no honor
strength" Opener cannot deny that
he has honor strength which the
opening bid automatically Identifies,
therefore there is no such thing as
a 'shutout rebid."
1t follows therefore that jump
to three no trump is stronger than
a jump to two no trump. When
today's hand was played South
opened with one diamond (his hand
was too strong for an opening bid
of one no trump, North responded
with one spade and South jumped
to three no trump. The actual
North casually passed with the COM
ment, THAT shuts me out" 1t would
have been more fitting for North to
have said, Partner, I promised only
one trick on the strength Of which
you think you can make game. Since
have a great deal more than that
you should be able to make more
than game. I therefore cordially
invite you to bid slam. Take 1t or
leave it." South will take it.
On a basis of simple arithmetic
the following calculation can be
made: North has IL points, South's
Jump rebid to three no trump
should be based on q hand con-
tanning around 81 points. which
adds to a total Of 33, placing the
partnership on the threshold Of a
slam.
In point Of fact, playing with
timid partner, North might take
the bull, by the horns and bid
slam himself.

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
What's in a Name?

Maurice Chevalier, the French en-
tertainer, now in the United States,
has surname that means "a cava-
lier: chivalrous or gallant man; a
knight" Chevalier is perhaps the
most often mispronounced name in
the amusement world, despite the
fact that it Is an easy name to say.
Maurice Chevalier recently was q
guest star on Fred Aliens program.
Allen addressed him repeatedly as
"shev-VAL-yuh." The Frenchman
let it go at that, probably having
become resigned to the fact that
"the Americans are q funny race,
parlez vous."
At any rate, here Is how the name
Maurice Chevalier should be pro-
nounced: maw-REESS shuh-val-
YAY.
Akron: How does Vivian Leigh
pronounce her last name?"-B. K.
Answer-The name Leigh Is from
the Anglo-Saxon leah, IAN open
place in wood; pasture or grass
land" Leigh is pronounced: lee.
Milwaukee: Please give the cor
rect pronunciation of the name
Yvonne-Mrs. J. S.
AnsWer-In America the name is
pronounced: ee-VON, the second
syllable rhyming with don, non."
Mrs. G.. A. Ackerman of Lincoln
writes, You certainly stubbed your
toe in describing the palomino as a
creamy white horse whose tail
and name are buff Let me tell you
that its body is, ideally, the color
Of freshly minted gold coin. The
tail and name are creamy white"
I hereby apologize to all palominos
for transposing their colors. But it
was slip of the pen.
Several readers have asked for the
correct pronunciation Of the name
Of the Russian composer, Dimitri
Shostakovich. AS near as can ex-
press it in English phonetic spelling
Shostakovich Is pronounced: shus-
stuh-KAW-vyich. I won't try to
Dhoneticize the Russian pronuncia-
ton of Dimitri AS a compromise,
give it the English pronunciation:
