WORLD LOOKS TO U.S FOR DEMOCRACY SAYS MRS. FDR

GARDEN CITY, L. I.-Since the rest of the world looks to this na- tion for an example in democracy proof will have to be in the United States that human rights and free dom are more valid than under communism.
 This was the opinion expressed by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to an audience of thirteen hundred women who attended the Sixth An nual Woman's Forum of Nassau County to learn what they could do in their own Long Island com munities to erase racial and re- ligious prejudice. :,
 The women present represented 8O.OOO members of 535 women's organizations. Theme of the meet ing. an all-day session. was 'The Dignity of Man-The Triumph of Democracy"
 Mrs. Elizabeth Bass Golding pre- sided.
 Will Hold Meetings

 Acting as moderator of the morn ing session, Mrs. Garda W. Bow man talked of the need for anti discrimination legislation. Dr. Mar ouerite Cartwright of Brooklyn College, explained how education could do away with prejudices.
 High school students Nancy Brown and Margaret Lord said the workshop had made them realize that people of various races ana religions had more sinnilarities than differences. They urged parents to accept their children's friends, re- gardless of race or creed.
 Discrimination against Negroes in real estate came in for discus sion. Dr. Cartwright assured those present that action taken against real estate segregation would be backed up by the Supreme Court and the Constitution.

 Geraldine and Edward have had their ups and downs as far as love is concerned, if you want to call it that, but sure hope Spring sort of changes it one way or the other for these two.
 The Debs of the Independent So- cial Center recently played a bas- ketball game in Springfield. These girls played against the girls of Bethel Church. The Debs were de- feated by a score of twenty-eight to five. After the game the Debs were cordially invited to attend social hour in Bethel Church.

On the mile relay team each man ran quarter-mile.
 Clarke ran second and Bill third.
 Robbie, a cross-country letter man, bounced along with short, choppy strides, while team-mate Ball had long, swinging stride which he seemed to execute effort lessly. Both boys ran smooth, fast race which contributed greatly to the breaking of the mile relay rec ord.
 Coach Larry Amann's blue and white-clad chargers gathered first places in every event except the high jump. Another record fell, in addition to the relay, and this was accomplished by DeAagon, who tossed the 12-lb. shot put over 50 feet. Hillhouse ran poor second to the high-flying Owls, but made wonderful showing in the high jump where Brown breezed over the cross-bar at 5 9". Paige, also of the New Haven school, captured third in the 50-yard dash.
 Good Showings.
 Wiley Wiggins and Jim Harris made good showings for Hartford High in their respective events Wiggins ran second on the 4/5 mile relay team which placed second and Harris reached the finals though he didn't gain place.

The tilted Swain

The tilted Swain
 Dear Sally Landring:
 am young man of 25,
 very much in love with a girl
 who promised to marry me. I have always been attentive to
 her and have never even looked
 at another girl.
 Now. without any reason at
 all. she wants to break our en-
 gapement. She says she still
 thinks Pm a fine person, but
 she just doesn't want to get
 married anv more, still want
 to marry her and know J would
 he able t0 make her happy,
 but nothing seems to change
 her mind.
 Since she promised rae that
 she would marry me. don't you
 think she is wrong to try to
 break off now? How can
 make her think things over?
 don't want to give her m.
 HEARTBROKEN
 It's not a matter of what you want, Heartbroken -- you have nc choice in the matter. She doesn 4 want to marry you. and this is a free country: she doesn't have to. know how you feel; you thought the future was all set, and - blooev! - all at once it wasn't there any more. That's enough to jar a fellows nerve. But on the other hand. if she was tickle, or if she did not love you enough to be happy with you for long. it was so much better to find out before YOU got married. After all. that is what an engagement is for: to make sure that you really do want to get married. If she wasn't sure your love isn't enough to make up for her lack of interest in you.
 This is no time to hound her with questions as to what she finds wrong in YOU. Accept the fact that your engagement is broken and act as if she had never been in your life. Find new friends and new in- terests. Go out often, and date girls. Work hard and we'll. and cul- tivate new hobbies. Keep doing the things that will make you a finer, better person. Never fear there is a girl for you - one you can love and who can love you. Keep in circulation, and vou will find her. You will for pet this one sooner than vo,1 think, if YOU work at living a full life without her.

Doris Smith, sophomore at Weaver High School, was one of the lucky winners of five dollar credit award towards the purchase of typewriter. This credit was awarded to her by the National Typewriter Company at 247 Asy- 1um St. during a recent demonstra- tion which was given by Cortez Peters, } champion Negro typist. This affair took place last week. MT. Peters typed five hundred words and then told the audience that he would begin to type again. After this he would ask who. had guessed how many more words he had typed. The one to guess the closest number of words would re-, ceive the five dollar credit award. Doris guessed 72O which was al- most correct. Good work Doris.

Goren on Bridge

II Is q bit Of q paradox that occa-
sionally the most effective manner
of getting the truth across to your
mariner Is by means Of falsehood.
south's opening bid Of one club
and North's response Of one SPADE
are standard. 1t Is with Souths
rebid that we are ut the moment
principally concerned. II technical
correctness Is being sought. what is
the proper bid. One OF the first to
suggest itself Is the call OF three
spades, but there are several oo1ec-
tions to 1t. Firstly. one should AVOID,
# possible, making q Jump raise IN
a suit which has not been rebid,
holding less than four trumps. That,
however, is only minor objection,
because this rule Is sometimes vlo-
lated for the sake of convenience.
The real objection Is that partner
might, with certain holdings, refuse
to carry on. This would be his pre-
Yogative If he happened to have
made Q shaded takeout consisting OF
something like five spades to the
queen and q side king. Even with
that holding, as South would be
unwilling to play the hand for less
than game. A jump rebid of three
clubs is open to the same objection.
The only rebid that guarantees
opener another chance Is q Jump In
O. new suit. Which leads us to the
white lie, South's bid Of three dia-
monds, forcing the partnership to a
game contract.
, When North heard the game
force he prepared for big doings.
South had promised game, though
North might have no more than one
trick. The excess made little slam
a virtual certainty, with plenty Of
time TO investigate for the big bo-
nus. North merely rebid the spades
and South raised to four. This was
as far as 1t was permissible for
South to 60, inasmuch as he had
previously announced . hand OF
game-going proportions.
Norths showing Of the ace Of
hearts was routine, whereupon
6outh small slam, knowing that

and the heart control. This latter
bid I an inclined TO view as rather
ovsraSgrssdve, In view Of South's
prevtous demonstration Of vigor. OF
course, his call left North In no
doubt ~ to the proper procedure.
1t now became q certainty that
South held two spade honors and
that was all that North was really
concerned about.
sou this bidding. incidentally,
marks him with q maximum Of one
heart. This is not only conventional.
but logical. He holds presumably
five clubs, four diamonds and at
least three spades. In that way the
lie about the diamonds Is an effec-
tive way Of telling the truth about
the singleton heart, as well as the
enornity Of the hand.
