on to say that when the 3rd Di-

O'Daniel found out about it, he
Immediately grabbed him back.

said, For a General to make a

According to other published
articles and news items, the team
of Wallet and Beck played one
time to an audience of eleven
generals. In contrast to that, they
put on another show for a single
wounded soldier in a hospital.
Then there was the time they
played to a hospital-ward- full of
blind soldiers. That was the
strangest experience | ever had
in my life!" said Wallet afterward.
Asked what Wallet was doing
now, Ralph Beck grinned. He
handed the reporter copy of The
Key West Citizen. 1t was dated
July %, l948. On the front page,
news article began, Charles
Wallet. former Master of Cere-
monies and entertainer with
RK.O. theatres, headed the pro-
gram section of the meeting of
the Key West Lions Club held in
the den on Seminary street.
MIR. Wallet, who was present
ed by acting Program Chairman
Louis M. J. Eisner, told the Club
of his experiences as an entertain
er during the war"
Said Beck as the paper was re-
turned to him, Wallets been dug
in down here in Key West for a
long time. Now I'm digging him
out. We're fixing to team up once
again"
While the subject of why Val
let hadn't been dug out" long
before. for the good of Key West
was being cussed and discussed,
the famous Magician suggested,
Maybe it was because your

Commerce was not organized

that toward our organization, sir, "
he said. I'VE would feel honored

smiling. The honor is mine"

There are many. many fine peo-

like Beck and Wallet who did Sc
much for so many, vet have to be

for the acclaim that is their due.
Few folks here knew that Val

sively among them, content with
his three adoring children and

Fires were as exciting to people SO
years ago as they are now, maybe
more so. At that time there were
fewer kinds of amusement. Without
moving picture theaters and without
radio sets in the home, children and
others were even more anxious to
throng to a fire.
Steam fire engines existed in 1900,
but they were drawn by horses. It
was quite a sight when the gallop-
ing steeds passed by on the way to
a blaze.
Many persons ran to the fire, but
others mounted bicycles and got
there faster.
No automobiles ran along the
streets, to bring danger to those who
rode bicycles. It was a golden time
for the cyclist to ride and be happy,
though he did suffer some bumps
because of the rough roads.
The automobile existed in q crude
form, but hardly one person In q
thousand had seen one on = public
street. A national magazine printed
this note:

Goren on Bridqe

The vast body of bridge players
clings unwaveringly to the belief
that all that matters in slam bidding
is the possession of aces. Neither
logic nor records of previous disas-
ters can keep these couriers from the
swift fu1flment of their chosen
mission. Out comes their trusty
Blackwood, the aces are checked,
but the fact that the partnership
has only 10 or II tricks is a tech
nicality with which they do not
choose to concern themselves.
That the key to slam is more
often the possession of a void suit
or a singleton does not seem to
occur to many players. In many
cases natural bidding inferences will
point clearly to the possession of
a singleton in one hand or another.
At times, however, a certain amount
of ingenuity will be required to get
the idea across the table. North
and South co-operated very neatly
In today's hand, played in recent
tournament.
East opened with one club and
South made the natural overcall of
one diamond. 1t was evident toI
North that his side surely had a.
game and that slam was not at
all improbable. He, therefore. pre-
pared to give complete description
of his hand. His first step was to
make bid that was forcing to-
game. This he did by making a
Jump in new suit. South re-
sponded with two no-trump, both
for the purpose of showing stopper
In the suit adversely bid and to
designate more or less mediocre
hand. North then decided to bid
three spades.
This is apparently a misdescrip-
ton of the hand, but its purpose
will soon become apparent. There
is no real danger in such bid, since
the partnership is obligated to con-
tinue till game is reached and If
partner should support spades, dia-
monds can be returned to with
complete safety. South bid three
no-trump and North jumped to FIVE
diamond. 4
The casual player would be happy
to check out at this point, but South
unhesitatingly bid six. His partners
bidding has made it clear that he
has at most a single club. When
one player shows three suits, as
North did in this case and includes
q jump in his sequence of calls, it
is reasonable to assume that he has
. singleton or void in the fourth suit.

Uncle Rows Corner By eomo" co9f"o'

The streets, In 1900, were places
where boys did = great deal of
marble playing. Usually the boys
would make the ring at one side, so
carriages and wagons would have
room to pass.
On Sunday mornings, early in the
century, the smaller boys and girls
were excited by colored comic pages
in newspapers. One popular comic
was called '"The Katzenjammer
Kids" and others we're Happy
Hooligan" and Foxy Grandpa"
Still another comic was "klphonse

Frenchmen were always trying to be

Sometimes they got into trouble be-
