Word for 1t
.-, By Frank Colby
Problem of Possessives.

Many queer things happened in
1947. One of the queerest was the
springing up out of nowhere OF
such weird possessive forms as
"Bess', Gus, Lewis" etc. We see
such possessives in many pablica-
tions despite the fact that there is
no sanction for the forms. b.
One of two national magazines
carry the unorthodox possessives to
ridiculous lengths. For example, In
a recent issue of Golfers" the
male character ils a story refers
repeatedly to "the boss wife"
AS every one knows, an apos-
trople is not letter OF the alpha
bet, not a syllable. You cannot
pronounce an apostrophe. There
fore, when reading aloud, "the boss
wife" can offy be read, "the boss
wife"
No one ever says "the boss wife"
when he speaks of the boss's wife.
No one ever says "Bess new dress"
when he means Bess's new dress.
No one ever says Gus bride" IN
speaking of Guss bride.
I may be wrong (and II am !
apologize in advance. but think
that some one with one OF the big
press services conceived the idea
that one should never use spostro-
phe-s after a word or name end
ing In IS, e." or "x."
OF course there Is no such rule.
as any good dictionary or grammar
will attest. People always speak Of
going over to Mrs. Joness house:
Of admiring Lewis's new neckties;
of meeting Bess's new boy friend;
of approving Of Congress- deci-
sion: OF being called into the bosss
Office.
Such possessive forms, In both
spoken and written English, are
correct and natural. Why write
"the boss ONCE when no one ever
says 1t that way?
It is not a matter OF euphony
for he who writes wallis new fur
coat" would not dream Of writing
Wallace new running mate" He
who uses the possessive Doris
dress" would not write Of Horace
suit"
The possessives should be writ
ten as people say them. Read this
column tomorrow. The rules will
be given as they are shown by Our
best authorities.

/
Opening lead: Queen Of clubs.
Myriads Of bridge players still
labor under the fallacious old doc
trine that doubles of part score
contracts should not be made with.
out the holding of two trump
tricks, where such doubled con-
tracts, II fulfilled, will yield
game. When you are reasonably
sure that the opponents are down
and you do not choose to 60 any
farther, our suggestion is to double
them despite the inhibitions above
alluded to.
Doubling should be done on q
simple arithmetic basis. Add what
tricks you expect to take to the
number you have reason to expect
from partner, allow one trick for
margin Of error and let her 60.
Partner, Of course, is to exercise q
certain amount of discretion. II
his hand Is going to be a disap-
pointment from the defensive
standpoint, he should not leave the
double in. That Is what is meant
by the expression that all doubles
Of low contracts should be regarded
as cooperative.
Today's hand provides a splendid
illustration. South opened quite
properly with one club because the
hand was just q shade short Of the
accepted standard for q no trump
opening which calls for q minimum J
holding Of is points. West over
called with one spade which was
natural and North, of course, had
no real choice but to make q free
bid Of two clubs. Note that in the
absence Of an intervening bid
North's proper response would be
a one over one take-out In hearts.
But q voluntary raise denotes o.
good hand and should 1t develop
that hearts provide the best con-
tract, 1t will be because South has
four-card suit which he Is at
liberty to bid on the second round.
When the auction reverted to
South, he held definitely more than
a minimum and partner had made
a free bid. It was with reluctance.
that he elected to pass unwilling
to make q stab at no trump with,
such fiinsy protection In spades.
West persisted with two spades, o.
more or less pointless bid since,
partner had not chosen to act.
North quite properly passed. He
had already told his story and did
not fall into the common error Of
giving another raise when his
partner still had O chance to bid.
Souths penalty double at this
point was a very logical bid. and
though on the surface 1t may appear
daring, without a sure trump trick,
actually 1t involves a minimum OF
risk with an enlightened partner.
North must know that South has
not much of q hand inasmuch as
he took no further action after the
first free bid. He must also know
that South's spades are not very
strong inasmuch as he was unwill-
ing to bid two no trump on the
previous round. North's defensive
values must therefore be sound in
order to leave the double in. Other
wise he should go on to three clubs.
North passed and the contract was
defeated 500 points by the simple
expedient of cashing top tricks.

CHRISTMAS FOOD
TRAINS PACKED
FOR OVERSEAS
Ohio Farmers Share BOuntiful
Harvest in CROP Holiday
Project

A modern Christmas drama
was enacted at the steps of the
State Capitol Building in Column
bus this week. On Wednesday a
corn crib was erected; on Thurs
day farmers began arriving with
trsckloads of corn. Contributions
from nine Franklin county farm
ers filled the 500 bushel crib to
overfowing.
Photographers and reporters
were among the groups of specta-
tors who gathered around the crib
to watch the elevator move the
golden ears from truck to crib.
The drama of this activity lay
in its symbolism. They weren't
kings; they wern't from the
Orient. They were American
farmers with a bountiful crop of
corn. One of the most precious
gifts in the world today is food to
feed the destitute peoples of
Europe and Asia,
Farmers of Ottawa county are
playing a part in this drama.
Their gifts, along with those re-
ceived from the farms in 53

King Hits Selling
BY Strangers

Archie King, chairman of the
National Defense Committee, of
the American Legion department
of Ohio, this week issued warn
ing against strangers who pose as
veterans in promoting selling
schemes. King states:
"A crew OF fast-talking sales
men visited Port Clinton Decem-
Der /, selling subscriptions to a
veterans magazine. They had no
letter of approval from any vet
eran group or from the Chamber
of Commerce. They appeared
quite insulted when Ralph Forster
Of the Ben Franklin Store asked
for their letter of authorization to
solicit.
"a similar crew again visited
town December 10 and their re-
action was similar when question
ed by Carl Matthews of the
Matthews Boat Company.
Merchants and citizens are
again warned not to cooperate
with fy-by-night statesmen who
pose as veterans. Some men who
have spent a few months in ser
vice think the world owes them a
living, and they consider the pub
lie lawful prey to their schemes
of begging
"No veteran is authorized to
beg. Operators of shady enter
prises take money away from
home that would be better spent
here. If you help these grafters,
you are doing the truly-worthy
man an injustice.
"There are several organizations
who are authorized to care for our
needy veterans. A representative
of one Of these groups will al
ways carry a letter Of introduc-
ton. Ask him for it before you
subscribe to his plan.
"The mere fact that a person
claims to be veteran does not
prove he is interested in the wei
fare of our community, state and
nation. Check into the back
ground Of established veterans or
ganizations and learn which ones
are interested in the future of
America"

ply tor and qualify for regular
