attractions to the city, the manage
ment make no other special bid for
anybodys attendance at the Skat-
ing Rink and certainly Mr..
Principal, young folks who attend
dances at the Skating Rink DO
NOT come in contact with any IN
FLUENCES that are not present
at the dances given at your school
campus /. you don't have to take
our word for it, just ask some of
them One thing is certain the
Skating Rink has proved less dang
erous than many of the school
grounds
There are plenty of young peo-
pie who do not attend affairs at the
Skating Rink and that is their and
their parents business-but Mr..
Principal, although we condemn any
place or persons who contribute in
any way to Juvenile Delinquency,
we feel that you and other like
you should get "hepped" to the fact
that condemning and deflaming the
only place that has been provided
for Negroes to assembly in large
groups isn't solving the DELINQU-
ENCY PROBLEM the job will
have to be done in the HOME, the
SCHOOLS, the CHURCHES We
grown-ups have got to start
Strengthening up and flying right
4. start setting the right example
start taking TIME to provide whole
some recreation at homes, on better
still, maybe Mr.. Principal, in the
obsence of proper assembly places
for our young people, you should
open your school building one night
a week as a community center for
the young people and you and 9TH
er ggrown-upS be present &c assure
proper, wholesome recreation
another thing, Mr. Plincipri, re-
member, the Skating Rink nor any
other place can possibly have a
worse effect on the young people
than some of the things that so
on at the schools Naturally
we don't believe any of the things
we hear, but its bad for young peo-
pie to get the idea that proper dis
position is being made of funds
that are raised at schools, etc.
t So MIR. Principal, if you are sin
cere in your efforts to curb Juve-
nile Delinquency, stop wasting. time
talking about the undesirable plac-
es and go down in your pocket, or
put forth an effort to provide DE-
SIRABLE PLACES

A numbers suspect arrested by

The court held the suspect was
under arrest the moment police
called him to their car and that, as
result. numbers slips then found

Judge Thomas D, Quinn made his
finding in freeing Leroy Stephens,

Tag numbers for the car used in
the pickups were furnished.

Detectives Howard Ogle and
William McEwen testified that, in
response to the information, they
cruised the vicinity on Septem-
ber 7. They said they saw a car
having the reported tag numbers
drive up and park in the same
block revealed to them by their
informant.
They added they saw Stephens,
whom they had arrested once pre-
viously, emerge from the car and
begin walking down the street.
Leroy, come over here" one of
them called out, it was testified.
And when Stephens came to their
car he was asked what he had in

The detectives told the Judge
they arrested Stephens only after

Henry looked and suddenly he
knew what had happened. zezor
had given Henry his own wicked
wand and kept Santa's for himself
With the Wiggle Waggle's wand
Santa could work no magic for good
and could never destroy the Wiggle
Waggles.
Now the Wiggle Waggles began
running about the yard picking up
gumdrops and stuffing them in their
pockets. Only Santa, Mr.. Dilly and
Henry remained. I expect they, too
would soon have turned into gum
drops if Santa had not just then
called, Quickly follow mel"
He began running toward the
barn where his reindeer were kept
We'll get away on the reindeer,
chied Santa as he led Henry and
Mr.. Dilly across the snow.
The Wiggle Waggles were too busy
to follow. They picked up all the
gumdrops and Tapped up the party
food and crashed through all the
Christmas toys.
They pulled the arms off teddy
bears, punched out doll baby eyes,
stuck holes in balloons, smashed
blackboards.
They Began Squabbling.
Breaking up things was their idea
of fun but soon they grew tired even
of this and began squabbling among
themselves. The Wiggle Waggles,
you know, are the worlds most
quarrelsome folk. They are not
happy unless they are squabbling.
That is why no one else wanted to
have them around.
Lets 60 after Santa now" said
Zezop.
But said Humphrey. Il heard
them say they would escape on the
reindeer"
Zezop snorted. Don't worry. We
will catch them"
Then the Wiggle Waggles began
to quarrel. What shall we do with
Santa? Turn him into a worm?
No, stupid, a turtle. No, no, fly!
Why not turn him into baseball
bat?"
Zezop put an end to the fuss. 81
can't turn him into anything with
his wand" he said, looking at Santa s
wand. 1T works only for good. Well
just have to catch Santa and his two
friends and destroy them without
magic"
With a whoop of delight the
Wiggle Waggles charged toward the
barn, honking their blue noses and
tripping over one another in their
eagerness.
After this" screamed Zezop. 1--WE
will be the only magic folk left in
the whole world. Think of how
much fun we can have frightening
little children! And think how
awful they will feel when Santa
never comes to their homes again!"

Now Santa had gone in the house

little black box. At this very mo-
ment he came out on the porch.

guests. Change the
wicked ones into gumdrops! |!
shouted his own little folk.
Santa nodded. Slowly he waved
his wand from side to side. Let
all the Wiggle Waggles turn to gum
drops!" he whispered. ..
His People Were Gumdrops.
Hardly were the words out of his
mouth than the magic began to
work. But heavens! Instead of the
curse falling on the wicked Wiggle
Waggles, his own Santa Land work.
ers and all their guests began turn
ing into gumdrops!
Santa cried out in surprise. He
waved the wand again. It did no
good. His people were gumdrops.
The Wiggle Waggles were free and
more powerful than ever.
WELL" said Zezop to Henry.
What do you think of Santa's magic
wand now?"
II don't understand" mumbled
Henry.

his coat. Perhaps Santa would
prefer this wand!"

Goren on Bridqe

From time immemorial the trump
lead has been the last resort of
him who Is in doubt. It has been
regarded as q purely defensive
measure made because Of the en-
barrassment attending leads from
other suits. But the trump lead has
not been given sufficient recognition
rs an offensive weapon. There are
many cases in which a trump OPEN
ing is indicated despite the fact that
another attractive lead is available.
Even the lead Of a king from ace
king should be eschewed in favor
Of a trump when it is suspected that
dummy's raises have been based on
distribution-that Is, singleton or
. void, rather than high cards. Re-
moving dunmy's trlmps will de-
prive 1t Of the greater part Of its
power. To put it in another way,
when your side is known to have the
preponderance Of high cards, trump
leads are apt to prove very effec-
tive.
An enormous swing was witnessed
IN today's hand, which was cu1led
from an important tournament. At
several tables North and South
sacrificed at four spades against
East's game contract in hearts. In
one case the ace Of hearts was
opened and South INDUCED himself
in q picnic. He ruffed In dummy,
crossed to the ace of diamonds,
ruffed another heart, discarded two
clubs on the two high diamonds,
ruffed a club and ruffed another
heart. On the ten of diamonds he
discarded his last remaining heart.
West took the trick with the eight
of trumps. But declarer had re-
stricted his losses to three trump
tricks and brought home the con-
tract.
At another table West, realizing
that dummy had raised on distribu-
tion, determined to break down
dummy's ruf1ng power by leading
the king Of trumps. He was so
impressed with his inspired move,
when the void in hearts appeared,
that he blithely continued with the
ace and another trump. Since the
diamond suit was blocked, declarer
was obliged to lose four hearts, two
clubs and two spades for a net of
five tricks. That represented a
swing of 1,490 points, for the dou-
bled contract of four spades yielded
500 points where the heart was
opened.
While the continuation by West
of the third trump may appear on
the surface to be risky, with the
? diamond suit staring him bodily in
the face, actually there is no real
danger Of fulfllment. Even II de-
clarer holds the ace and a small
diamond (Which will mean that
East must have the ace-king Of
clubs for his opening bid and rebid)
he will be able to win only four
spade tricks and five diamonds,
which adds up to only nine tricks.

Try to find q deep-water spot IN

Babe Ruth was an enthusiastic ice
fisherman. He experienced great
thrill when he pulled a big bass
through q hole in the ice.
Ice fishing is not new, though
thousands are trying 1t for the first
time. Indians were old hands at 1t
and taught the white man all the
tricks.
One thing to remember. Fish
must have oxygen. Many Of them
diet and most of them fast; but all
of them breathe"
Do not expect to go out with a
basket Of bait that would drive a
fish wild with desire in summer and
have luck. During the winter fish
take very little food and your fat
worm does not excite an extra
wiggle. Your bluegill or crappie
takes only tiny morsels of food
which 1t finds on the bottom.
One source of oxygen is the con-
tact of surface water with the air.
Oxygen from the air Is dissolved In
surface water. Wave and current
action mix it with the water. But
this dissolved oxygen does not, as a
rule go very far below the surface.
No matter from what source free
oxygen flows, only so much can dis
solve in water. The remainder
escapes as bubbles from the surface.
The second and perhaps most
important oxygen source is from
plant photosynthesis, a process by
which the water plants and weeds
make starch to feed themselves.
They take carbon dioxide from plant
and animal decay and also from the
exhaled breath" of fish and other
aquatic animals and they release
oxygen.
It is easily seen why it is so i'm
portant to have plants in or border
ing a lake. With these two sources
of oxygen, fish are able to move
about gayly in summer and must
slow up In winter to conserve pre-
cious oxygen reserves.

furiously at her poor sheep. An
other chased the Gingerbread Man

finally did catch him and bit of a

Colonel, in English, is pronounced: :
KER-n1 exactly like the kernel OF
grain or nuts.
To explain the "r" sound in the
word colonel, let us begin with the
Latin word columna, meaning "a
column, or pillar" hence, f1gurative-
ly, "a pillar of state; the chief. ."
Columna evolved into the Italian
colonello, "a colonel" but literally,
"a little column" because the mill
tary considered the colonel as the
upholder of the regiment.
The French borrowed colonello
and changed it first to cororlel and
later to colonel.
When the word entereds English
it was most frequently spelled coro-
mel, which was pronounced "KAWR-
nill," then KER-oh-nell" and final
ly: KER-n1.
Meanwhile, the spelling coronel
was dropped in English and French
