The decision to leave the Laslie
Yaws in Sitka instead of sending
them to Tucson, Arizona, as was
announced some weeks ago, is due
to the storm of protest which the
announcement aroused. Headquar-

mail from Alaska urging that the
Yaws he left in Alaska.
Miss Gladys Gladfelter head of
the educational department of the
Board of National Missions came to
Sitka to get the matter straight.
Meeting with every group in town
took hours and the sheer weight of
public opinion resulted in persuas-
on. Undoubtedly, the most effect

natives.

appears in pronunciation. This Is
well established principle in
phonetics. Kenyon g. Knott
point to the pronunciation "suh-
prize" for surprise as a typical ex-
ample. Other words given in which
assimilation of the first s'r" occurs
are caterpillar, catercorner, elder
berry, February, Northerner, South
erner, paraphernalia, particular,
reservoir, thermometer and Water
bury, all of which lose the first "r."
Kenyon & Knott state that the
'r-less" pronunciations "are correct
forms, not because they are phonet-
ically normal, but solely because
they are in wide use by cultivated
speakers"
Webster's New international also
recognizes the lost "r'' in the above
listed words. See paragraph 121,

The table of probabilities means
nothing to a declarer whose prime
concern is with keeping a menacing
opponent out of the lead. East was
the menace in today's hand and
declarer had to play cautiously in
two suits to block him out of action.
When South chose to open with
one spade, North concluded that
his hand was a shade too good for
a single raise. He, therefore, tenn
porized with response of two clubs.
South chose the two-no-trump re-
bid as most descriptive Of his hold
ing and North then showed the
spade support. The student will
observe that North's three-spade bid
is forcing to game and does not
merely indicate a preference for
spades over no-trump. The COM
mon sense OF the situation Is this:
When both partners have shown
strength, 1t is natural that they
should proceed to game. South has
shown strength by opening the bid
ding and rebidding two no-trump.
North has shown strength by in
creasing the contract to two clubs.
If North had a mediocre hand, he
would have offered an immediate
raise to two spades, instead of
showing the clubs.
West naturally opened the queen
Of hearts and declarer saw that the
locations of two cards were mate
rial to the issue, the queen of spades
and the ace Of diamonds. If the
cards happened to have been dealt
in diabolic fashion, declarer, by
loose play might find himself giving
up four tricks, the queen of spades,
heart trick and two diamond
tricks. However, it was clear that
the contract could not be lost if
declarer could contrive to keep East
permanently out of the lead.
That East held the king of hearts
became apparent from Vests OPEN
ing lead of the queen, so to prevent
that card from becoming an entry,
declarer ducked the first trick. West
continued a heart and declarer's
next concern was with the trumps.
While the normal procedure with
nine cards is to play for the drop,
such a play ran the risk of setting
up trick for East if he happened to
hold three to the queen, and if he
ever got in, the king of diamonds
would be subject to attack. De-
clarer, therefore, decided to play

More About February.

Some weeks ago stated that
most people, indeed the overwhelm-
ing majority, simply will not use
the dictionary pronunciation of
February-FEB roo -ERH-ee. It is
a fact that the pronunciation FEB
yoo-EHR-ee prevails in all levels of
American speech, explained, and
that I shall support it's correctness.
A few readers who take the
dictionary too seriously have ac-
cused me of debasing the language,
and have told me sternly that FEB
roo-EHR-ee is the only correct pro-
nunciation because Mr.. Webster says
SO, or words to that effect.
The splendid and realistic pro-
nouncing dictionary by Kenyon &
Knott states that the loss of the
first "r" in February is due to dis
similation and to the influence of
January. Let me explain what is
meant by assimilation:
In certain words which contain
two or more IRIS" the first "r" dis

the spades with the idea in mind
of shutting out East. He led spade
to dummy's ace and f1nessed the
jack on the return. When West
showed out, he drew the remaining
trump and ran dummy'S clubs, dis
carding two of his own diamonds.
The finesse of the spade was not
for the purpose of winning an adj
ditional trick. If the f1neSse had
lost to a doubleton queen in the
West hand, South would hold West
welcome to that trick, for the king
of diamonds was now safe against
the enemy an the 80 points lost by
taking the finesse would have been
a small enough fee to play for COM
plete protection.
Note that If declarer had played
the ace and king of spades, East
could have cashed the queen in time
to lead through the king of dia-
monds and defeat the contract.

Uncle Rows Corner

Seventy-four years ago a 19-year-
old youth in England Joined a
regiment known as the Thirteenth
Hussars." This youth was Robert
Baden-Powell and he was the son
Of a professor at Oxford.
The youth was a member of a
large family, the sixth son. Per-
haps his parents were sorry to see
him go into the army instead of
keeping on with his studies, but
away he went, and he certainly
kept up his geography The next
20 years saw him in various parts
OF India, Afghanistan and South
Africa.
Baden-Powell did well enough
during his first 20 years as a SOL
dier; at length he rose to the
place of chief staff officer in a
South African campaign. It was
not, however, until about the time
of his forty-third birthday that he
became widely known. On that
birthday he was busy in the de-
Tense of place called Mafeking.
Mafeking is town with a few
thousand people, and is located In
the Cape Province of the Union of
South Africa. Small as it was, this
town was an important stronghold
during the Boer War. The Beers
laid siege to it on an October day
In 1899.
For seven long months, the Bri-
tish, under command of Baden
Powell, defended the town. Then
British soldiers under another
command came to the rescue, and
The Beers were driven away.
To mark his work at Mafeking,
Baden-Powell was promoted to the
rank of major general Eight
years later, he rose another step.
and was made lieutenant general.
BY this time, however, Baden
Powell was thinking about some
thing besides military fame. His
mind turned to the youth of his
own country, and other nations as
well. He wanted to help boys to
enjoy outdoor life and to be good
citizens. This idea led him to start
the Boy Scout movement in 1908.
There came to be, in Great Bri-
tain, groups of Wolf Cubs (8|
to 10 years old, Boy Scouts and
Sea Scouts I'll to 16 years ODD
and Rovers Q7 years and over).
The Boy Scout movement spread
abroad, and obtained a firm foot
hold in the United States and
Canada. Today there are Boy
Scouts in more than 10 countries.

TEN YEARS AGO - The Red
skins, resplendent in new uni
forms for their first home game,
defeated Glouster 10 as Robert
Dutch" EStadt crossed the goal
line in the second quarter and
Bob Archer drop-kicked the ex-
ira point. The touchdown was
set up by long pass from Merle
Barnhart to "Jum" Clark that
carried to the two-yard line.
Caldwell's defensive play was
outstanding, holding for downs
twice within the 10-yard stripe
and Clark breaking up another
threat by intercepting a pass.
The band, with Joan Rodrian as
majorette, performed at halftime.
THE REDSKINS run smack dab
into another tartar this week
in the tough Glouster Tomcats,
who will play here Thursday
evening at 7:30 instead of 800 as
previously announced. The Tom
cats have won four games while
losing two, but their two losses
were not overwhelming, by any
means. Dresden defeated them
2O-i4 while Philo broke a tie in
the last quarter to win 26-13. On
the victory side of the ledger,
Glouster punched out a 1914
win over New Concord, drubbed
Marietta Reserves 800, bowled
over Crooksville 400, and last
week topped McConnelsville 27-
l3. Last year Caldwell defeated
Glouster 1910 with Bill Chris
topher scoring one of the two
touchdownS, in l948 the Red
skins squeezed out TO victory
on Christopher's point after
touchdown. In previous years,
Caldwell won 31-6 in 1947, and
1920 in 1916, while the two
teams didn't meet during the
war wears of 1945-44- 4-43. The
Tomcats defeated Caldwell last
in 1912 when Glouster went un-
defeated to cop the league title.
THE TOMCATS have fast
team that has scored 152 points
in six games while limiting their
opponents to 70. Sparkplug of
the ground attack is the l80-
pound fullback Lloyd Dugan,
who has racked up 10 touch
downs to date. The remainder Of
the Glouster points are distrib-
uted among the backs and ends,
any one of which can carry the
mail if necessary. Probable start

n 4 usINGs OF
A MUSICAL
BAND BUZZ

When the band played at the
Junior high football game last
Thursday, Mr.. Wood put in sew
eral substitutes who did a grand
job. This gives the new ones a
chance to get a little confidence
in themselves. These new ones
were Pat Cannavan, Sally Evil
sizer, and RoSella Estadt.
The band got quite build-up
by the announcer at the Philo
game Friday night. This, of
course, we appreciate very much.
Something that surprised me
though, was after theh game, ]
asked member of the Philo
band how many pieces their
band had, he had to stop and
think and then was not sure
when he said 80. This happened
to me once before at New Con-
cord, where the person didn't
have the least idea what the
number was.
Karl Webb, who is a trumpet
player in the band, was absent
for both games last week because
of death in his family. His place
was taken by Sally Evilsizer,
who did marvellous job. Sally
is quite short yet, and seems to
have little trouble keeping up
with the rest of the band, but
when she grows a little l think
that she will be whiz.
An example of how effective
the grape vine method of getting
information around is, the band
played for the Republican Rally
Saturday night. No one knew a
thing about this engagement un-
til late Saturday morning,
whereupon Mr.. Wood started the
information going. That night,
there were % out of 36 who
showed up for the parade.

In an independent game on Fri

by's six-game winning streak by
dropping the Rangers, 81, on the
local diamond. Junior Tony Berohn,
southpaw with a sharp-break-
ing curve, notched his second win
in two days and his third of the
season by limiting the visitors to
four hits. He was also responsible
for two Of the Cardinal runs, driv-
ing in one with his fourth-inning
single and scoring the final tally
in the sixth frame when he reached
second on an error and crossed
the plate on Ken Horizons long
double on the rooftop in left field.
Two of the Willoughby hits were
doubles by Shortstop Wayne Hide
brand while Catcher Grover Stetka
banged out a pair of singles for
the other safeties.
Berohn struck out eight and
displayed a tricky motion to first
base as he caught two enemy base
runners off the initial sack.
