Arlington Study Asked
On Number and Size
OF Pools 10 Be Built

The Arlington County Board
has asked to consider building a
number of small neighborhood
swimming pools with the 100000
bond issue that voters have ap-
proved.
Leo Urbanske, chairman of the
recreation committee Of the
county Democratic council, said
"a thorough study should be
given to the ACCESSIBILITY of build
ing a large number of neighbour
hood pools rather than two or
three large pools" as suggested
by the county Democratic club.
He said the smaller neighbor-
hood pools might make swimming
facilities available to greater
number of people who otherwise
would not travel long distances to
central pools.
$4,000 Expense Cited.
The recreation committee chair
man said community pool OF
the type he suggested recently
had been built at Middleburg,
Va, for less than $4,000.
The referendum question SIM
ply specified that up to $5OO,O0O
in bonds be issued to finance con-
struction of swimming pools. The
type, size and number was left up
to the county board.
Mr.. UrbanSke directed his sug-
gestions to the county board and
to it's recently appointed SWIM
ming pool committee.
The board took no action on
Mr.. Urbanskey's suggestion at yes
terday's meeting but did name an
additional member to the COM
mittee as a result of a protest
by I. Lee Potter, chairman of the
Arlington Republican Executive
Committee.
Perrin Named.
Clifford w. Perrin, a county
businessman, was named. He was
suggested by Board Chairman
Daniel A. Dugan.
In a letter to the county board
Mr.. Potter said no representative
of the Republican party nor any
businessmen had been appointed
to the committee.
Other swimming pool commit
tee members are Robert w. Cox

Joy, school board member; w. A

recreation department; E. j

Cat Tail.

This is the month to visit marshes
for cattails. The bronze seed con-
tainer makes very decorative win
ter bouquet. They are among the
first plants to wake up in the
spring, sending up slender sharp
pointed leaves through the mud and
water.
They produce thousands of min
ute flowers and seeds. In July you
will notice that brown, velvety
cylindrical structures will have the
upper half finished off like that of
a cats tail. The staminate or male
flowers are massed at the top while
the pistillate flowers (female) form
the tail"
At this time the anthers are
packed to overf1owing with pollen,
this is sifted down with a passing
breeze and when a stronger wind
comes along the neighboring cat
tails are, given a generous busting.
Thus the pistillate flowers receive
ripe pollen from other flowers and
seed children are assured.
Each cat tail seed in autumn is
furnished with its own balloon on
which to travel to far away places.
Lower shorter leaves surround
the base of the plant, giving it
strength and size. All the leaves
are of the same general pat
tern, but vary in length. Each leaf

long and narrow and nat towards
its tapering tip but is bent into a
trough as it nears the base and
lower part of the leaf which clasps
the plant.
When the marsh is drained or the
floods remain too long, cattails dis
appear. They like moisture, but
not too much.
Indians found many uses for the
cattail. The pollen was used for
meal and for dyes, the long veins
for sewing thread, the feathery
seeds for pillow stuffing, the leaves
for basketery.
In winter the tight brown velvet
jacket splits and the released seed
children fly out in swarms to later
settle down in another marsh.
The cattail family is small one,
with only a solitary genus and a
dozen species that are temperate
and tropical in their range. The
common cattail ranges throughout
the United States forming familiar
dense growths of to feet high.
In some localities the leaves are
woven into mating and the fluffy
fruits into springy mattresses.
The last thing one gives the cat
tail credit for is the conservation
of soil. Its roots hold fast to the
soil and hold the water back. When
the plant dies. it becomes a part of

The actual bidding:
South. West. North. East.
/ spade Pass spades Pass
8 spades Pass spades Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead, queen of diamonds.
The bidding of today's hand is
given as it actually occurred. 1t is
strictly routine up to North's final
bid, which is the subject of this
diatribe. In my opinion, it was not
sound. North should have passed
to his partners three-spade bid
without any genuine fear of miss
ing game. He argued that he
held considerably more than he
might have had for his mild raise
to two spades and, therefore, felt
justified in accepting his partners
invitation to go game. AS will be
seen, declarer had no reasonable
play for the contract.
1 cannot quite agree with his
estimate of the North hand. Looks
were deceiving. A prospective
dummy should be judged by the
number of actual tricks it will prob
ably develop for partner. Viewed
from that standpoint, the hand is
poor, indeed. At the most liberal
estimate, this holding will produce
only three tricks for partner, which
will require his taking seven tricks
himself. This is too much to ask
for. If South held that many win
ners, he would have hoped right to
four spades after the raise. When
the bidding proceeds in this man.
ner, North should have likelihood
of taking four tricks before accept
ing partners invitation to 60 game.
To put it another way, North over
looked this very important principle
of bidding: That one should beware
of the 1888. It's a wolf in Sleeps
clothing, never quite as good as it
looks. In valuing hands in support
of partner, a definite deduction
should be made when responder
holds such distribution.
In today's hand North values his
hand originally at eight points in
support of spades, which would rem
der it fair-to -middling raise, but
when the one point deduction is
made for the balanced hand, it be-
comes worth only seven points and
is reduced to courtesy-type raise.
I have many times seen player
raise his partners no-trump OPEN
ing with about a king and a queen,
and comment as he spread the
dummy: Partner, have wonderful
no-trump distribution. It's al
snare and a delusion. There's moth |
ing wonderful about it It's the
worst possible distribution and the
reason it is recommended for no.
trump is that it isn't much good
for anything else. Since no-trumpI
requires the fewest number of tricks |
for game, that avenue must gener-
ally be sought with these very bar
rem hands. Just another reminder |
with the 1883, restrain that
impulse to overbid.
