are a number of plural -es words in
English that properly take the "eez''
pronunciation. For example, the
word crisis forms its plural by
changing lis to -es, thus: crises, pro-
nounced: KRY-seez. The plural of
analysis is analyses; the plural of
hypothesis is hypotheses; the plural
of parenthesis is parentheses; the
plural of thesis is theses, etc.
Such words entered English
through Latin from the Greek.
Now note that such singular words
as auspice, premise, force, service,
source, and base do not end in lis,
nor do they form their plurals by
changing is to -es; they simply add
"s' to form the plural. And the last
syllable should never be pronounced
"eez."

ueaTCS PaSS Pass Pass
Opening lead, ten of diamonds.
A great many safety plays are
designed to avoid a f1nesse. To-
days hand, however, presents a
rather different twist. Declarer
finds himself in a position to take
an early flneSse in side suit for
the purpose of determining wheth-
er he can afford to make a safety
play in trumps. But enough of these
distractions. Let us get down to
cases.
South opened with one heart
and North, holding the equivalent
of an opening bid, with protection
IN four suits, preferred descrip-
tive response of two no-trump to a
temporizing bid of two clubs. After
this response, South could see at
a glance that the partnership had
sufficient high-card strength to
justify a slam, but deferred the
final commitment for a moment by
rebidding the hearts. Having, him
self, an unbalanced hand, he pre-
ferred to play the slam at that
suit If North should support it.
When North did support hearts,
his course was clear.
The ten of diamonds was opened
and declarer won it in dummy. He
could see that there were two
chances for the contract. One,
hearts; if that suit could be picked
up without the loss of trick, he
was home. Two, if a trick had to
be lost in hearts, he would have
to fall back on the club flnesse.
Acting under the impulse which
seems natural to most players in
slam contract, South started with
the trumps, playing the king from
dummy. When East showed out,
South's name was added to the
casualty list. North expressed him.
self sharply as to partners tech
nique, insisting that he should have
employed the textbook safety play
by leading the ace of hearts first.
Such play limits the loss to one
trick even if the outstanding trumps
are in one hand.
Though South had been guilty of
an error, North's Indictment was
not properly framed. Declarer
should first have tried the club
finesse. If it should lose, then de-
clarer must go all out to pick up the
heart suit and the play of the king
of hearts first would be indicated.
But if the club finesse wins, as it
would have in this case, then de-
clarer can afford to lose one trump
trick and he should, therefore,
execute the trump safety play
which insures against the loss of
more than one trick in the suit.
The proper play at trick two,
therefore, was low club from
dummy.

the appointment had been announced, the New York Times

JUDGE HASTE CONFIRMED

ON WEDNESDAY the Senate confirmed the appoint
ment Of Judge HASTE to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit. The confirmation came after MANY months of
waiting in which the committee handling such matters final
~ decided to vote on it and pass it to the Senate. In the long
wait the Negro press and many outstanding newspapers had
clamored for the confirmation, since it was the lone appoint
ment upon which action had not been taken.
ONE OF THE reasons thought for the delay was the OPP
position put up by elements from the state. of Delaware, one
of those comprising the Third Circuit. Judge Hastie techni-
caLy represents the appointment from the Virgin Islands, and
it was felt in certain quarters that Delaware should have had
another judge on the Court. At the time hearings were con-
Quoted, a lawyer from New York offered an objection which
caused further investigation, but it was thought all along that
final action would be taken by the committed, and when that
was done the Senate would follow swiftly with conformation.
OF course, the delay might have been nothing more than a
hesitancy to send out of committee the appointment which
was the first of its kind.

DANIELS-In the Lions Den


 We instituted q new policy in the distribution of Valley Frontersnoon newsstand papers last week. We Purposey didn't tell you about it first for wanted to find out what our reader attitude would be- Since we had only one fervent complaint and thot not very important we'll continue the plan of last week.
 Hereafter, the Friday issue of the Valley Frontiers nnon will not appear on Palmer newsstonds until Sot urdoy Subscribers will receive their paper Friday after noon, usual.
 Just scheme to make you subscribe, you think? Well, that's exactly what it is, we suppose But we think if you understood reason for the need for subscription, then all of our regular readers would get their paper by mail rather than throug newsstand circuotion
 You see, the principal asset of any newspoper-its stock on the shelves merchandise the inventory is its net paid circulation. That's the bargaining figure that's bondied about in any newspaper business trans actions, and it's the figure that of primary interest to national advertisers who are the frosting any neWspoPermuns cake That, also, is the figure thot interests the Postoffice, when annual accounting is made tor newspapers mailing permit.
 And that net paid circulation figure is source of extreme embarrassment to the Valley Frontiersnnon editor. 1t doesn't grow healthy circulation list ought to do Oh, re not slipping back in any degree i've re creeping ahead at q slow snoPs pace
 On the other hand, newsstand sales, which oug to !be minor for small country weekly are n1ushrooning like new Anchorage housing development. Stand sales up at least 300 percent over last yeors and and it's not going to do the Valley Frontersmon much good when the time of reckoning comes at the years end
 So, we thought maybe serving the stands on Sat- urdoy morning might offer the bit of nducennent many ot our regular customers need to subscribe rather than to buy ot the corner drug store or grocery It's much easier, actually to get paper by nui for subscrp ton you that you'll get your paper at the eor est possible moment on Friday afternoon We've al ways made certain that the postofce got the first few hundred papers that come off the press.
 We don't intend to neglect the stands The Valley Frontersrnon will be on sale at all regular stands on Saturday morning. Or if you feel you still want to buy, and must have your paper Friday evening, then you drop by the Valley Frontiersmon office late Friday afternoon and purchase paper there. We're always happy to take your dime in this office, too
