The INSTRUMENTATION "Skeh- joo-

came to my attention about 10 years
ago. I have discussed the error
many times in this modest space,
and have urged broadcasters especi-
ally to avoid "Skeh-j oo-ull," but
apparently to no avail.
"Skeh-joo-ull' is prevalent among
broadcasters who work for the Co.

the word along to his chargelings

The California Condor is out Of
the Pleistocene-he will not concede
to change. Man is liquidating him
and the bird is cooperating by only
producing one egg in four years.
Centuries ago when the woods,
forests and plains were crowded with
hungry beasts, battles ragged most Of
the time and the fields were Strewn
with casualties. The condor, being
the Official scavenger, cleared the
backgrounds, leaving the bones to
bleach in the sun.
Gradually the animals disap-
peared until today the condor is
living on scanty rations. He has
never resorted to killing or thievery.
His mission is to keep the air free
from putrid odors. His feet and bill
clearly prove his calling.
Condors are never aggressive
neither toward others or among
themselves. A pet condor loves to
trot behind his master, dog style,
obeying orders.
An adult bird has a wing spread
of 10 feet. He will weigh about Is
pounds. When food is present, he
gorges to Immortality. At this
time he is easily captured. In or
der to get into the air he must run
fast, flap his wings vigorously to
take off. Once in the air, altitude
is sought High on the airways, the
soaring bird watches the ground
below.
Condors mate for life, some cele-
brating their silver anniversary.

Goren on Bridq'

The bidding is given as it actually
occurred, though to my way OF
thinking it leaves something to be
desired. The delicate touch it seems
is lacking. Perhaps little restraint
on the part of North might have
resulted in the partnership reach
ing the more desirable contract OF
three no-trump.
I do not consider that North's re-
bid was well chosen. While it is
conceded that opposite a partner
who could open the bidding, North
should entertain high hopes for
game, yet sight should not be lost
of the possibility that the shorter
nine-trick road to game might be
the safer one.
At this juncture it may be wise
to engage in little hair-splitting.
The responding hand contains IL
points, technically a jack Zone
point short of an orthodox open
ing bid, so that North theoretically
is not in a position to recite. our
favorite dltty to the effect that an
opening bid facing an opening bid
will produce game. But even the
addition of another jack to his hand
would not have rendered his Jump
to four clubs sound bid. In this
case a more restrained raise to only
three clubs would be sounder STRAIT
egy, permitting opener to try three
no-trump if his hand is suitable.
When this hand was played, South
was tempted to try four no-trump
after the four club bid in an effort
to make game in 10 tricks, but, ap-
prehensive lest partner might con-
strue it as Blackwood call, he pro-
ceeded, routinely, to five clubs.
In the play of the hand, South
atoned for his partners short
sightedness. The queen of hearts
was opened, and had declarer fallen
into the error of taking this trick,
the contract could not have been
fulfilled. For, as declarer attempt
ed to establish long spade, East
could not have been prevented from
obtaining the lead in time to come
through the king of diamonds.
When Vests queen of hearts was
permitted to hold, he continued with
the suit and South won with the
king. Dummy was entered with the
ace of clubs and a spade discard
taken on the ace of hearts. Now
the king, ace and a spade ruff es-
tablished long spade in the
dummy, upon which declarer dis
carded a losing diamond.
Had spades not broken so fortu-
nately declarer would not yet have
been at the end of his rope. The
diamond king would still have been
his last hope for trick No. II. So,
entering dummy with a trump, he
would lead diamond toward his
own hand in the sincere hope that
East held the ace.
The moral that North should
draw from the above-described in
cident is this: When contemplating
jump raise of partners minor suit
to the four level, take time out to
determine whether your hand is at
all suitable for no-trump. If it is
then try pulling your punch" and
be content with a slight underbid
raise to only three. Partner may
appreciate the opportunity you have
afforded to play three no-trumps

At time when reShingling or

Roll-roof1ng has been used for

material is extremely simple.
If a shingled house roof has

the owner has his choice OF strip
ping off the old shingles and re-
placing them with new ones, OF
