LETTER FROM GREECE
May 26, 1949


Dear Brother in Christ:
Pastor of the Christian Cath
Ollie Church, Zion, Illinois.
This is my second letter to
you and my little Evangelical
Church is thankful to you for
the second gift package of
clothing. God bless you!
AS l stated in my first letter
to you, | came from the Sevas-
tt Evangelical Church to the
Serras Evangelical Church. l
am one of the preachers of the
synod of the Evangelical
Church of Greece. The Serras
Evangelical Church is one of
our small churches which for
many years had been without
any regular preacher. | should
be very glad to receive let
ter from you.
Last night in our mid-week
prayer meeting, my subject
was on Acts 8:5, "Then Philip
went down to the city of Sam
aria, and preached Christ unto
them" - Not traditions, and
racial differences, and denomi-
national differences, etc., but
CHRIST! Dear brethren, of the
Christian Catholic Church in
Zion, you be assured that to-
gether with you, we preach
Christ.
Our difficulty in Greece is
poverty. Our small Evangeli-
cal Churches are not able to
pay full salary and our Synod
expects to get some help from
the sister Protestant churches.
Please "come over into Mace
donia and help u.s.. Acts 16:
9. We need your interest,
prayers, presence and aid.
Serras is town with a popu-
lation of 100000 on the edge
of fertile plain. From Serras
about Is miles distant are
three other small Evangelical
Churches. May the Lord Jesus
enable me to visit them. Ira
yelling now in Greece is dan
gerous and difficult.
Please pray for Greece. We
need peace. Again we are
thankful for your help to us.
May God bless you!
Kind regards from all the
members of the Serras Evan

A warning system to prevent
Pasco merchants from being
duped by "gimmick artists" was
announced Wednesday by How
ard Moffat, Chamber of Com
merce secretary.
Designed to help thwart check
passers and other ICON" men, the
system will. warn every mer-
chant in town-and give full de-
tails-within 25 minutes after
the alarm" is sounded.
Called a Retail Block Warning
system, it works like this:
A "gimmick artist" passes a
bum check in a clothing store.
The store manager reports this to
Moffat, who calls the II mer-
chant 'lieutenants." Each lieut..
enant in turn calls a list of six
or seven merchants, relaying the
information.

Teenicide.

Todays teen-agers have been
writing such blood-stained record
of carnage by automobile that they
have added ghastly new word to
the dictionary of death.
It's "teenicide."
"Teenicide" was coined by the
Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co.
for the purpose of designating:
1. Death caused by automobile dri-
yer under 20 years of age, usually
the result of recklessness or imma-
ture judgment.
2. A teen-ager who kills some one
or is killed himself in an automobile
accident.
8. A general term in recognition
of the fact that drivers under 20
are involved in disproportionately
high number of highway fatalities
in the United States.
According to reliable figures, out
of 32,5O0 traffic deaths in the United
States in 1947, teenicides were re-
sponsible for nearly Is per cent
and this does not include the mature
drivers and pedestrians killed by
this group. When a teenicide gets
behind the wheel Of a car, he is
twice as dangerous as the mature
adult. Drivers in the 1920 age
group are involved in five times as
many accidents as the 1850 group.
Sixteen-year-olds alone are involved
in nine times as many accidents as
the 45-60 group!
This problem must be approached
in three ways, according to James
S. Kemper, chairman of Lumber
mems, who believes that parents
must accept the major share of re-
sponsibility for teenicides. First,
teen-agers must have sound educa-
tional programs, preferably in
schools, to teach better driving.
Second, stricter police enforcement
of trafdc rules and stricter require
ments for drivers licenses. Four
States require no license at any age,
eight States allow boys and girls

Goren on Bridqe
A Man-to-Man Defense.

The defense of hand at contract
bridge can hardly ever be conducted
by precept. Such stray bits OF ad-
vice as cover an honor with an
honor" and secondhand low"
tthird-hand high" ETC., may have
application to a large number OF
cases, but they cannot be resorted to
independently. Defense is not a
question of handling certain COM
binations of cards. A particular play
is almost always part of campaign
to defeat the contract and the hand
must be viewed as a whole.
Let us see how this applied to
East's play in today's hand. The
bidding requires no comment, being
strictly in accord with current prac-
tices. Vests opening lead of the
five of spades was natural and East S
conduct at the very first trick con-
trolls the fate of the deal. The ten
was played from dummy and, in an
effort to prevent that card from
winning the trick, vast majority
of players would ref1exly play the
queen. A hasty analysis should
make it clear that such action can
not, under the present circum-
stances, gain. South's opening bid
and subsequent jump to two no.
trump clearly marks him with either
the ace or king of spades, which
makes it impossible to prevent de-
clarer from winning two tricks in
that suit. The important considera-
tion however, is to see to it that one
of these two spade tricks should not
be won in dummy later in the play
when it will become important to
And an entry across the table.
East's plan was to prevent, if
possible, the running of the diamond
suit. This could be done if declarer
held only two diamonds. The first
part of the defense involved per-
mitting dummy to hold the first
trick with the ten of spades. De-
clarer then entered his hand with
heart and led the queen of dia-
monds, which East permitted to
hold. (This would have been no
time for West to reach prematurely
for the trick, as so many players
are in the habit of doing when they
see declarer trying a f1nesse which
they think is about to lose.) De-
clarer continued the suit, hnessing
the nine in dummy, and East, con-
cluding that it would not be pru-
dent to test his luck any further,
took his trick. A spade was returned
and the suit cleared to the great
discomfort of South.
Note that if East had played the
queen of spades on the first trick
there would have been no way to
prevent the declarer from entering
dummy to cash the good diamonds.

Uncle Ruv's Corner
BY Ramon Coffmon
,rSonS can stand

statue and 40 persons can stand
within the head.
A French sculptor, Frederic August
Bartholdi, designed the statue and 1t
was given to the United States by
the people of France. The gift was
made to mark 100 years of American
independence, but much time was
needed to build the pedestal, to
transport the statue across the At
lantic and to put the parts together.
It was unveiled Gas a complete
object) in 1886.
The statue is made of bronze and
it's weight is about 225 tons. Stand
ing where it can be seen from the
decks of ocean liners, the Statue OF
Liberty is seen by millions OF persons
who enter or leave the harbor.
The Statue of Liberty may remind
us of the Colossus Of Rhodes, which
was one Of the "seven wonders" Of
ancient times. Standing on the
island Of Rhodes, that great statue
was an image of the sun god, Helios.
No one knows its exact height, but
the records We have indicate that 1t
was less than the Statue Of Liberty.
Evening star., 1949-09-09

A question about a famous statue
has come to me from Joanne Milli-
tarry, who asks:
"How tall is the Statue of Liberty?"
The Statue of Liberty has height
of ISL feet. That height is in addi-
ton to the tall pedestal on which
the statue stands. If we count the
pedestal, the total height is 305 feet.
Those figures give only a small
idea of the size. Think of a right
arm with a length of AZ feet! Think
of a hand 16 feet in length!
If it seems to you that those fig
ures show that the hand is too long,
as compared to the arm, remember
this fact: The hand of an adult has
close to one-third of the length of
the arm. In the case of children,
it Is different. The hand of q boy
or girl is smaller in proportion to
the length of the arm.
The Statue of Liberty is the figure
of a woman. It stands on Bedloes
Island In New York Harbor and
vast numbers of tourists visit 1t each
year. Visitors can use stairs or an
elevator to reach the top Of the
