Uncle Ruy's Corner

There is a blockade between
Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and
that blockade Is made up of
Niagara Falls. Without those falls,
1t would have been more simple
for explorers of early days to
travel from the Atlantic Ocean to
Lake Superior. This could have
been done by sailing vessel, and
those aboard 1t could have gone
all the way from Europe to the
site of the present city Of Duluth.
AS 1t was, great drop in the
bed of the Niagara River blocked
the way. Partly because of this
drop, Lake Erie was the last of
the Great Lakes to be discovered
by white men. Another reason was
the presence of the hostile Iro-
quois Indians in the Niagara area.
The white men who did most of
the exploring of the Great Lakes
area were Frenchmen. AL I've Of
the Great Lakes were found by ex-
plorers who sailed and marched
under the flag of France.
Louis Joliet is honored as the
first white man to see the waters
of Lake Erie. Shortly before his
twenty-fourth birthday, this son
of a Quebec wagon-maker was
taken to the shore of the lake by
an Indian guide. That was 81
years after the discovery of Lake
Ontario. Another Frenchman, La
Sale, came from another direction
and reached the lake a few days
later.

Lake Erie is the least deep of
the five Great Lakes. It's average
depth is only about 90 feet, but
it has a depth Of 220 feet at one
place.
The area of Lake Erie is about
the same as that of the State of
Vermont. 1t ranks fourth in size
among the Great Lakes.
Around Lake Erie's shores are
some of the great cities OF the
United States. These include Buf-
falo, Cleveland, Toledo and De-
troit. Detroit touches a river which
enters the northwestern end of
Lake Erie, also the southwestern
shore of Lake st. Clair; between
the two lakes runs the Detroit
River, with Detroit on one side
and the Canadian city of Windsor
on the other.
Other cities on the American
side Of Lake Erie include Erie,
Pa; Ashtabula, Conneaut Harbor,
Lorain and Sandusky, Ohio. Ca
madam centers on this lake include
Port Colborne. Port Maitland,
Port Dover, Port Stanley and Port
Talbot.

about the Niagara Falls "block-
ade." The great Welland Canal
joins Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.

The word formerly meant ''any

whirlwinds, clouds, rainbows, etc.
But in modern usage the word Is
restricted to the so-called shooting

However, the older meaning. "any

The actual bidding:
South West North East
! diamond Pass 2 diamonds Pass
8 diamonds Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, queen of clubs.
Whenever you see defender af-
fciding declarer the luxury of
rr!f and discard by leading a suit
of which both dummy and declarer
are void, you may be sure he is
either beginner or an expert. The
beginner will do 1t from ignorance,
the expert from experience.
The bidding is given as it actual
ly occurred and is entirely without
the sanction of this department.
! am moved by the utter disdain
with which both partners treated
their four-card ma jor-Suit holdings.
North's proper response to the
opening bid was one heart and
that suit would have become the
final trump. Now it is true that
the cards are so laid out that a
four-heart contract by North can
be defeated by the opening of the
queen of diamonds, but in actual
play it is more probable that East
would have led the jack of spades
If South had elected to try out the
heart suit himself on the second
round, instead of leaping to five
diamonds, he would have landed IN
contract that not even double
dummy defense could have de-
9eated.
Against the five-diamond con-
tract the queen of clubs was
opened and held the trick. The
suit was continued and declarer
ruffed. The ace of trumpS revealed
the bad news in that suit and de-
clarer drew one more trump.
He then led the queen of spades
over to dummy's ace and ruffed
dummy's remaining club. He then
cashed the king of spades and got
out of the lead with q trump.
At this time East had the lead
with nothing but red cards in the
dummy. Many players in dread of
giving declarer ruff and discard
would have led heart, but a little
counting sinplif1ed East's problem.
Declarer is known to have had ex-
actly six diamonds and one club.
1t is clear from the way the spades
were played that declarer had only
two spades; that would leave him
four hearts, and one discard would
do him no good. If South holds
both the ace and queen of hearts,
there is no further play to the
hand, but if he lacks the queen, the
defense must not touch that suit.
One discard will leave him with
three hearts and Vests queen must
still make. On this line of reason
ing East continued with the jack of
spades. Declarer ruffed in one
hand and discarded a heart from
the other but he still had a heart
TO lose. The return of a heart by
East would, of course, have per-
lnitted declarer to pick up the en-
tire suit.

she refused, he hit her over the
head with a beer bottle or salt
shaker and fled.
Acting on impulse of what he
saw" in his court room during a
hearing for the custody of a four
year old child, Common Pleas
Judge Hubar A. Berry, denied the
return of the child, Sharon Lee, to
her mother, Mrs. lone Davis, Of
704 Steele ave.
According to the Judge, he was
hearing the case in which a ha-
beas corpus action was taken
against Mr.. and Mrs. Fred La
more, of 2341 Guernsey Dell ave.,
in whose care the baby had been
placed shortly after birth . Judge
Berry said he was aided in reach
ing a decision when the little girl
ran to MI. and Mrs. Larmore and
called them "Mommy and Daddy"
The Court said the determining
factors in the case was the well
fare of the child and not "naked
legal rights"
According to the testimony of
the mother, she had not seen her
daughter for the last three years.
Since there was a filing in Pro-
bate Court for the adoption Of the
child, it would be unfair to re-
turn the child to it's mother and
if the adoption were granted, to
take it away from her later. . j.
Mrs. Lahore stated that Mrs.
Davis agreed to allow the Lar
mores to adopt the baby five days
after its birth.
