Wound should never have been
spelled w-o-u-n-d. The Anglo
Saxon and middle English spelling
was w-u-n-d, pronounced: woond.
But perhaps it was thought that
w-u-n-d suggested a rhyme with

w-o-u-n-d. But as it was a bad

'Goren on Bridqe

The surest way to make game
Is obviously the best way, and con-
siderations of overtricks should not
be entertained where the safety of
the contract is in question. South
took too much for granted in the
play of the hand and blamed his
failure on the bad break of the
cards, when in point OF fact the
distribution was exactly what
might have been expected.
The bidding was orthodox
enough, though most modern play
ers would prefer to open the South
hand rather than pass it. The de-
cisive card, peculiarly enough, is
the jack of hearts. This may
sound like splitting hairs, but it
really isn't. The point is that the
possession of that card gives South
good rebiddable heart suit, so
that if partner should respond
with one spade or two diamonds
he is in position to sign of by a
bid of two hearts. 1t will be OBJ
served that the hand has a high
card point count of IL and there
fore falls within the classification
of Optional openings" Hands
counting IL and l3 may be opened
where the rebid is convenient.
Lest I be charged by the carping
critics with being rather too point
conscious, permit me to declare that
If the jack of hearts were convert
ed to the jack of spades, I would
prefer an initial pass despite the
fact that the point count would
remain unchanged. A good rebid-
dable suit would not then be
available and opening with SO little
high-card strength would not be
considered a good risk. Had East's
bid of one spade not intervened,
South's proper procedure after
having passed would have been to
make a jump take-out OF two
hearts. but, inasmuch as he was in
position to make free bid, he
preferred not to jump to three
hearts and thus crowd the bidding

are waging battle for position
Clad in fur-lined parkas and
snowshoes, they are fighting
against time.
For the magic word uranium
has reused the interest of pros
pectors who have come here
from all parts of Canada and the
United States. The romance of
n,ining in Canada is being re-
vived. 1t is reminiscent OF the
great gold rush days OF the late
1905.
The struggle now in progress is
to stake claims and have them
recorded while a thick blanket
of snow makes it easier to cover
the rugged country on foot. When
spring comes, thick underbrush
and sharp jutting rocks will make
walking through the bush more
difficult.
Gains in the wintry struggle
are indicated by freshly-hewn
claim posts and white lined
squares on the map in the mining
recorders csfice here.
NEW FINDS REPORTED
The arrival of spring in the
Algoma district will mean the
start of concentrated efforts by
explorers to prove" the uranium
deposites they have claimed.
The mass stalking scramble
which started last fall with the
discovery of uranium at Theano
Point in the Lake Superior re-
gion, recently gained fresh impe-
tus with reports that rich radio
active ores have been found north
of Bruce Mines, 40 miles east of
here. More than 100 claims have
been recorded in the new area.
Now, more thsSl 100 square
miles of staked land has been
i recorded. This land is potentially
rich in the most vital of all
mineral recources.
At present, because of winter
conditions, the battle here is one
of position. No attempt is being
made to discover exactly what
lies under the snow. Enough pre-
liminary prospecting was carried
out in the autumn to Indicate
where the main breaks" were
located. Stakers are interested
now merely in locating somewhere
their zones. When spring comes,
prospecrors, biologists, and min
ing men will flock in to explore
their holdings.
The uranium discoveries are less
than 100 miles north of the Dor
der city. Because of the short
distance. age-old methods of pros
Ipecting have gone by the board.

During the summer they spent

Today, it's anybody's game.

The nearness of the deposits

the problems Of a postmaster so
well that I submit it herewith
for publication.-Walter Woehler.
postmaster, Kennewick:
POSTMASTER'S LAMENT
BY BLANCHE c. THOMAS
Postmaster. Estill. KY.
I work for Uncle Sam
At Estil on Beaver Creek;
Three years ago was full of
spunk
But now am very meek.
My public subdued me
With their demands great and
small,
For I tried to be obliging,
Laboring for one and all.
I began with great illusions
OF service for my nation
And found to my amazement
The hardest job in all creation
If you don't think it's awful
Just listen to my story
And see if you don't agree
PMS deserve a lot of glory.
MY office is fourth class
The amount Of help is very small
And when pay expenses
Wish I had none at all.
In every kind Of weather
The trains must all be met,
And unless you're very careful,
You are bound to get all wet.
Then comes old Dame Misfortune
And taps you on the head,
You've either got pneumonia
Or at best must 60 to bed.
Your help must be paid double,
And your doctor sends his bill,
The Chief Inspector must be in
formed,
And you feel no better still.
Finally you are able
To resume your office work
Only to find your faithful public
From their demands will never
Shirk.
One sister wants a money order
When the mail is not yet up;
Says she cannot wait minute,
For her beans will all burn up.
Another wants package,
And it's labeled COD;
Says she wants it right today,
But lacks little to pay the fee.
/ explain to her 80 sweetly.
Why we cannot serve this way,
And she asks me Don't I trust
her
And know that she will pay"
I tell her that it's rules

Laid down by Uncle Sam,
But before I've even finished
She's gone out with a slam.
No matter if the tram is late
Or if on time she shows,
All my patrons will flock in
By the time the whistle blows.
They either want to mail a
package XIII
Or register letter
And if I explain the rules to
them,
It doesn't seem to matter.
They say the last postmaster die
it
And I thought to do the same.
So why bother to refuse
When I always get the blame.
If I 20 back at night to work,
To keep my records clear,
A gentle tap on my door,
A call, I'll surely hear. 49,.
A voice sweetly pleading
For q package just inside.
I answer very calmly,
But how I'd like to bust her hide
Why I've even had them come
On Sunday to my door,
Just want me to 60 over
Get their mail and nothing more.
Tomorrow is holiday,
So surely you won't care
To see if we have q package
If you have some time to spare.
Invariably when I am busy
Here comes a friendly scamp.
Will I please address his letter,
And if l don't mind lick the
stamp.
/ could 60 on forever
And tell so many more.
For aggravations are my lot
With worries by the score.
But what I dread is Christmas
time
When the heavy mail comes in
For before I can recuperate
Annual report time will begin.
So if you are a Christian
Won't you pray a special prayer
For all the PMS in the worle
And hope they'll make it there.
