Loss $40 Million
In 3O-Hour Fire
In Quebec Town
$500 Are Homeless;
25-Yeor Recovery
Job Seen by City
BY the Associated Press

R1MOUSKI, Que, May g.
Stunned and weary residents OF
Rimouski poked through black
ened ruins today and gloomily
predicted it would take 25 years to
recover from the economic blow
of a 30-hour fire that caused $40
million damage and left $500 per-
sons homeless.
BY some miracle there were no
deaths from the week end fire in
Picture Of Fire-Royoged RimousH in

this industrial city of $4,000 on
the south shore of the st. Law
renee 180 miles northeast of
Quebec.
But the flames swept through
312 homes and more than a score
of buildings and stores, large and
small. These included the four
story St. Joseph Hospital, the
Sisters of Charity Orphanage, the
Rimouski Seminary, the Technical
School, Rimouski Hospital, two
hotels and motion picture
theater.
Fire Started Saturday.
It added up to one of the most
disastrous fires in Canadian his
tory. The western section of the
city was virtually wiped out.
The fire started Saturday night,
probably when a power line
snapped in a heavy wind and set
fire to two Price Bros. big lumber
mills. 1t raced through the mills
and spread with almost unbeliev-
able speed. whipped by winds that
reached 80 miles an hour.
The flames cut through the
western section of the city, de-
stroying one building after an
other. Throughout Saturday night
and all day Sunday f1refghters
battled the flames. Amidst the
smoke and showering cinders
thousands of dazed residents load
ed belongings on vehicles and fled.
It was not until 20 minutes
past Sunday midnight that Maj.
Gen. r. o. G. Morton, officer
commanding the Quebec COM
mand, could announce the fire
was under control.
Snow Falls on Ruins.
A thin blanket of snow fell on
the still smoking ruins this
morning.
Red Cross emergency headquar-
ters treated many persons for
wounds and minor injuries. Dur
ing the height of the fire Mrs.
Edouard Portugais gave birth to
a child. She had to be moved
three times as the flames spread
into buildings where she was
lodged.
Immediate problems for city
officials were care of the home
less and finding jobs for the un-
employed. They called special
meetings to consider plans for at
tacking the twin troubles. The
army has brought in blankets,
tents and medical supplies.
The biggest battle of the fire
took place opposite Rimouski Ca
thedral where hundreds of fire
fighters rallied to check the blaze
and prevent it from destroying
the church. The building twice
broke out in flames, but quick ac-
ton held them under control.
Today the church stood alone on
a site which once was crowded by
wooden homes.
Homeless Sleep in Tents.
Early today the shivering home
less slept as best they could in
tents and any available shelter
that had weathered the fire.
Others shared beds with friends
whose homes had escaped the in
ferno.
When last nights winds finally
died down army officials called
of for the time being plans to
dynamite the shells of blazing
buildings which had threatened to
spread flame to the eastern parts
of town.

Opening lead, queen OF ola-
mondS.
In today's game contract, de-
clarer was aware of all the plays
that were open to him, but un-
fortunately did not carry them out
in the proper sequence. Sound
planning would have called for the
poStponement of q ruff in the
dummy until such time as 1t would
serve as an entry. This sounds
rather vague, so let us get down
to the specific case.
North bid it right up. Having
normal trump support for re-
bid suit and a hand that was the
equal of an opening bid, facing an
opening bid, he chose to assume
full responsibility for reaching
game in preference to giving only
q single raise in hearts, which
South would pass if he had opened
q minimum.
West naturally led the queen OF
diamonds, which East won with the
ace. In an effort to cut down pos
sible diamond ruffs in dummy, East
returned the queen of hearts, The
return of a club by East would
seem to us a more inviting de-
fense. Removing dummy's only
entry for the possible establish
ment of the spade suit would GER
tainly appear to be sounder STRAIT
egy than trying to cut of a run
which probably could not be pre-
vented anyhow.
Declarer, having been given a
breather, failed to capitalize on it.
BY q faulty bit of timing he tossed
away his chance to fulfill his con-
tract. On obtaining the lead he
first cashed the king OF diamonds
and then ruffed the losing diamond
in dummy. He then pulled two
rounds Of trumps and started
establishing the spade suit. Had
the adverse spades been evenly
divided he would have come off with
his skin, but when West failed to
answer the third call of spades, it
became evident that declarer could
establish the long spade, but would
have no entry to cash it at the
end.
At trick four, declarer should
have realized that there was no
hurry about ruffing the losing dia-
mond. The diamond ruff could be
employed as an entry to dummy in
the process of establishing spades.
South should have drawn one
more trump, then played the ace
king, and another spade, ruffing in
the closed hand. When East shows
up with four of the suit, it is evi-
dent that it will take one more
ruff to establish the fifth spade
Now, declarer ruffs the losing dia.
mond and makes one more spade
lead to establish the 18th card OF
that suit. The ace of clubs still
remains there for entry and de.
clarer obtains the discard of 6
losing club.

A Fine Point of Grammar.

A flne fOlnt or Grammar.
@. My English class and I would
be grateful for one of your fine dis
cussions of point of grammar we
are not sure of. Which tense is
correct in such sentences as: He said
that he would? will?) let us know
his decision SOON?
A. 1t is a matter of logic, rather
than of grammar, as is the case with
most of the constructions which
perplex us. We should learn to
overcome our awe of the bugaboo
which dwells in. textbooks. In Eng
lish, little logic is often worth
more than Shelfful of grammars.
For example, in the foregoing
sentence, we are confused by the
past tense "he said" and feel that
the remainder of the sentence
should therefore be in the past
tense. But let us not quote him and
make the simple statement thus:
He will let us know his decision
