Uncle Rays Corner

A few weeks ago, people along
the southeastern coast of Florida
became excited over a report that
a small amount of ambergris had
been found. This substance is
seen, at times, along the seashore,
or floating on the ocean surface.
1T has a strange, sweet smell and
is highly valued in the making of
perfumes. It fixes" the pleasant
odor of the perfume. A person who
found 100 pounds Of it would have
a small fortune.
The report went on to say that
the ambergris which had been
found probably was only part of a
mass of it.. This led some Florid-
ians to search the seashore, al
most as though they were looking
for gold. The bubble burst when
experts studied the substance found
and declared that 1t was not am
bergris.
Ambergris comes from the in
testines of sperm whales. Now and
then it is found inside a whale
which has been harpooned.
More interesting to me is the
sperm whale, itself. This is one
iof the gigantic members Of the
'whEle family, although 1t fails to

heart Pass 2hearts Pass

Declarer can false-card at will. A
defender, on the other hand has
to be careful about false-carding,
as he may mislead partner as to his
true holding.
Mr.. Meek is expert at counting on
the defense. He bids so little that
he gets plenty of practice at defend
ing. In today's deal he led the queen
Of diamonds and Miss Brash won
with the ace. She led to the king
Of hearts, returned a heart, and
when Mr.. Abel discarded a diamond,
realized she had to lose a trump
trick.
However, she won the ace of
hearts, deciding to lose the heart
trick when it was to her best ad-
vantage. Mr.. Meek noted that his
partner had started with only one
heart, so Miss Brash must have had
five.
Goes to Dummy.
Miss Brash next went to dummy
with the king of clubs, led the last
diamond from the board and ruffed
1t. Thus Mr.. Meek got the informa-
ton that his partner had started
with seven diamonds and Miss
Brash with one.
Now Miss Brash cashed the ace
OF clubs and put Mr.. Meek in with
the queen of hearts. Mr. Meek took
the queen of clubs and Mr.. Abel
showed out, dropping diamond.
This completed the count of the
hand. Mr.. Meek knew that Miss
Brash's remaining cards were three
spades, one club and one trump.
Possibilities.
In his own hand we're his original
four spades and the jack of dia-
monds. What to lead at this point?
A poor defender would have seen
that diamond lead would enable
Miss Brash to discard in one hand
while ruffing in the other. and
would have led the ace and another
spade, hoping partner had the king
or jack.
A fair defender would have seen
that one discard was not enough to
solve Miss Brash's problem and
would have led the diamond, max
ing sure Of two spade winners later.
Mr.. Meek, having counted the
hand carefully, led low spade, Civ
ing himself the chance of beating
the contract two tricks if Mr.. Abel
held the king of spades, and this
without risking the chance of a
certain one-trick set.

The sperm whale is one of the

The upper jaw Of a sperm whale

has plenty Of them. As many as
50 teeth have been found in the

In its search for food, the sperm

discussion of the area to be served
by the Smyrna Civil Defense or
ganization pointed up the need for
clear definition of the territory
to be served and the authority to
be assumed for out of town areas,
with Spruance City, Smyrna Land
ing, Duck Creek, Woodland Beach,
and Big Oak having been brought
into the picture during discussion.
Mr.. Matthews was requested to
find out what these areas wish,
what the state policy of ALLEGATION
of territory is to be, and what this
town can do to coordinate our de-
Tense efforts with Clayton's. The
local organization expressed its de-
sire to be of whatever service it
can be to Clayton. Mr.. Matthews
emphasized that each chairman
will be responsible for the training
of his own personnel. The auxiliary
police will aid in fingerprinting CIV
il defense personnel, and Mr.. Rut-
ter will assign two of his men to
become familiar with techniques
of fingerprinting. Each chairman
will familiarize himself with the
work of other departments as far
as possible, and as soon as regular
meetings have been, established,
will be responsible for giving a
capsule course covering his activi-
ties between meetings during the
twenty weeks training is in pro
gress. This applies particularly to
the work Of Mr.. Rutter's commit
tee. A regular meeting night will
be selected. Tentatively Thursday
evenings at $50 o'clock has been
selected as meeting time, and
time will determine how often they
will be held. 1t Is not at present
known how much federal and state
money will be available for civil
defense. nor how much money will
be allocated. Charts showing local
organization of civil defense and
the key personnel will be prepared
and displayed in prominent places
in town. Publicity at present will
be limited to the directors pro-
nouncements, to education of cit
izens by the air raid warders, and
to education through the press
Later, specific needs will be cover
ed as they arise by approaching
the groups directly concerned. Al
the discretion of the director 9
public meeting may be held at
time deemed appropriate by hin
to permit the various chairmen tt
give details of their work. The
services of the town manager are
held to be of such value that ht
will have a general assignment t.
aid wherever special needs arise
and Mr.. Marvel vii receive his as
signments directly from the direc'
tor and his coordinators.
