ing, not black and stunted by fire.
A place where streams are clear

These are your people and your
forests, you have a God-given re-
sponsibility toward your fellow
man and toward mother earth.
Why don't we work together a lit
tie harder to prevent the destruc-
ton of this heritage that belongs

sources and several hundred dol
lars worth of extra expense to

fort and danger for the men pro-
tecting his hunting ground, for
just one small animal? Why will
he smoke one little squirrel out OF
a hollow tree or one little rab-
bit out of a briar patch? Is it that
one squirrel or one rabbit is
worth more than perhaps a hui
man life? WHY?

SO sober and careful. Like the

protective organizations are keyed
high. Nerves are taut, anything
can happen on a day like this.
They know what they may be
up against by night. Someone
may cuss mildly about careless
ness in general. Still some men
will start a fire to smoke out one
little squirrel from a hollow log
or tree. There is no doubt but
what few silent prayers r also
offered on an afternoon like this.
These men may be a rough
looking lot to the elite! Perhaps
they are, perhaps they must be.
They have a rough, dirty and Of
ten dangerous job to perform.
The job of fighting every fire in
their area to a stand still. To
place their homes and even their
life, secondary to the job to which
they are dedicated. To protect
your forest. These men are truly
dedicated to their work. It is
not for gold, many of them could
make more money and in IAN
easier, safer manner. It is GER
tainly not for glory. The gen.
eral public and even their own
bosses up the line and away from
the fire line, all appreciate little
enough what they do. These
men know that this job must be
done for the people of the COM
munity, their state and their ma
ton. For the welfare of the pre-
sent generations and the genera
tions yet unborn. To protect your
timber, soil, ad water. To give
you a delightful place to picnic,
fish and hunt. A place where
the hunting is good because the
game has food and a place to live.
They have not been burned out
of their homes. A place where
you can picnic on a lazy Sunday
afternoon and can lean your back,
shirt and all, against a tree with
out backing it. A place where
timber is growing and is harvest

For hundreds of years the Parthe-

by the ancient Greeks. Then came
the spread of Christian faith and
the people of Greece gave up their

500, the temple was turned into a
Christian church.

Greece was invaded by q Turkish

AIn the year 1887, an attack on
Athens was made by Venice. The
Turks used the Parthenon as a
storehouse for powder and an ex-

The pronunciation PEN-ul-ize Is
the result OF false association. Let
me put 1t in palmer words by point
ing out that penalize derives from
penal, which Is always pronounced:
PEE-n1. However, penal is a word
which occurs very seldom in ordi-
nary speech. The word penalty, on
the other hand, is both familiar and
widely used. The average person,
then, thinks Of penalize as deriva-

According to dictionary consensus,
the correct pronunciation is: PEE

in the Thorndike Century, the
American College Dictionary, Web

(The first syllable Of particularly

On the Acropolis, a great hill in
the city Of Athens, the ancient
.Athenians built several temples, the
greatest of which was the Parthenon
The planning of the Parthenon
took. place 2,4o0 years ago. The
actual building stretched over a
period of at least is years. The
best architects and the most skillful
builders were gathered to construct
the Parthenon and the temple was
decorated by sculptors of genius.
Marble was used for the Parthe-
non. going into its roof and walls
as well as into the gigantic pillars.
Carved in the marble were hun
dreds Of figures of heroes, nymphs,
gods, and goddesses. These figures
were meant to tell much OF the
story of the ancient Greek religion.
! The building was 10l feet wide
and 22S feet long. The height was
about IS feet.
!, One room, or hall, in the temple
had the special name of "parthe-
non," meaning virgins room" and
this name honored Athena, the vir-
gin goddess. Later it came to be
used as the name of the entire

Endless is the variety of plays
that are dreamed up to avoid the
taking of a f1nesse. An illustration
Is provided by today's hand on which
the answer to the question ito
hnesse or not to flnesse" effected
q swing of 720 points in one of the
early matches of the Vanderbilt Cup
tournament.
The contract of four spades was
reached at both tables and on exact
" the same sequence of bids. Note
that In both cases the North hand
was opened, despite the fact that it
contained barely two and one-half
tricks and not a - rebiddable suit.
The fact that it can be opened with
one club, which allows convenient
rebid of one spade over any takeout
partner may make, initiates on be-
half Of aggressive action. There is
q further inducement to open the
bidding when one considers how
difficult 1t is to enter the auction
with impunity If the adversaries
should open and get the bidding
under way.
The queen of hearts was led,
dummy covered and East won with
the ace and returned the suit. West
won and then shifted to diamond.
Since it appeared that a club trick
must be lost, one declarer decided
to let everything rest with the
spade finesse. When this failed,
trump was returned and there was
no way to avoid the loss of club
trick for Hotpoint deficit.
When this hand was played at the
other table. declarer was convinced
that the spade finesse had little
chance for success because the vull-
nerable overcall of one heart more
or less suggested that East held
that card. If East had no more than
two spades, there was much safer
way to play the hand. He, therefore,
cashed out the diamonds, completely
stripping the hand of red cards.
Then followed the ace and another
spade. East now had the lead and
was obliged to return the jack of
clubs. This was won with the ace
and the nine of clubs finessed in
dummy In fulf1llment of the con-
tract and score of plus-620 points.
