HAROLD FRANCIS
FINISHES JUMP
SCHOOL

Fort Bragg, N. c. - From a
starting class of 400, Private First
Class Harold Francis, Jr., son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Francis of
512 NV 18th ST., was one Of 263
that graduated from the 82nd
Airborne Division Jump School,
Class number one. One of the
most Selective schools in h e
Army, the paratroopS pride them
selves in their rugged training.
There is a sign on the Schools
Headquarters wall that reads:
There are no cutters! We reject
them! The main downfall of the
would-be troopers is the "a foot
tower. The least of reasons for
dropping out of the school is the
actual jumping from a plane. OF
all who managed to get through
the first two weeks of training
there was not single jump re-
fusal in the plane.
The school starts out with an
introduction &c parachute train
ing and related subjects the first
morning. That afternoon, actual
work begins with mock door
training, parachute landing falls
and the tower. This, along with
very strenuous physical exercises
makes up the rest of tic week.
The second week is more of the
same, until the third day when
classes in parachute collapSing
technique are introduced. A light
aircraft is used as the wind ma
chine. The final two hours of the
week are devoted to pre-jump
ordinations.
The last week is taken up with
actual jumping, and graduation
exercises on Friday. The first
jump is made carrying light packs
and are individual tap-outs. The
second drop, the same day, is
made up of eight-man sticks. The
jumpers then carry a load on the
pack and weapon, either a car
bine or an MI rifle. The fourth
jump adds a 15-man stick. The
fifth qualifying Jump is made
zen masse" with the planes fly
ing in a v formation. On Friday
the new troopers" get the wings
for which they have undergone
and passed the rugged airborne
training.
Private Francis is now assign
ed to the 82nd Airborne Divisions

4. Comely. BY false association
with the word "homely," comely is
mispronounced "KOHM-lee." The
first syllable should be "kum," thus:
KUM-lee.
5. Incognito. This word usually
comes out of the radio as "in-kog-

concealed" The third-syllable ac-
cent is wrong. Not many of us
will have occasion to use this word
in conversation, but when we do
use it we should see that the accent
falls on the second syllable, thus:

Better say: MAIN-tuh-n'nss.

all: per-TTCK-yuh-ler-lee.
8. Respite. Not "ress-PITE," by
false association with the word ode
Spite" The accent should fall on
the first syllable, and the second
syllable should rhyme with "bit, !"
thus: RESS-pit.

Opening lead, king of spades.
Postponement of a ruff in dunn
my was indispensable to success in
today's hand. Deferring that ruff
provided declarer with an entry to
dummy at time when it was most
needed.
Against the contract of four
hearts West led the king OF spades.
When he was permitted to hold the
trick, he continued the suit and de-
clarer won with the ace. Declarer
could ruff the losing spade at this
time, but if he did so, he could count
only nine tricks even if the club
finesse succeeded. He would then
have to rely for his 10th trick on
the queen of diamonds, not too
bright a prospect when one contem-
plates East's continued silence and
Vests persistent bidding.
An attempt should first be made
TO establish the club suit. If this
fails to come off, then as last re-
sort declarer may rely on the chance
that East has the king of diamonds
There was no harm in drawing
one round of trumps, after which
declarer successfully negotiated the
club f1nesse He then played his
second high trump and was relieved
to find that the suit had broken
The high heart was, of course, left
outstanding. A club was then led
to the ace and a club back, ruffed
by the declarer.
Now had come the time to ruff
the spade in dummy, after which a
club was led and declarer ruffed
with one of his two remaining
trumps, establishing the fifth club
in dummy. Dummy was then en-
tered with the ace of diamonds and
the remaining club led. East could
ruff if he chose, but, whether he
did or not. South disposed of one
of his losing diamonds. On this
line OF play, declarer restricted his
losses to one spade, one heart and
one diamond in fulfilment of his
contract.

ANOTHER MILITARY PRESIDENT?

Your remarks in relation to my being candi- date for the presidency, very flatterIng. but think you will know without the necessity of my saying to you, that I not and never shall be an aspirant for the honor. My opinion has always been against the elevation of military chief of that position"
 So wrote Zachary Taylor, whose birthday We celebarted on the twenty fourth day of this month, less than three years before he was elected to the high position of twelfth President of the United States.
 Zachary Taylor was born in Virginia. His father, Colonel Richard Taylor, officer in the Revolutionary War, moved to Louisville Kentucky when Zachary was a small child. There he lived until he was twenty-four years old, working on plantation ana receiving only an elementary education
 When an older brother who had received com mission in the Army of the United States dled Zachary was appointed to fill the vacant commlsslon In 1872 with fifty men, most of whom were Ill, Tayor defended Fort Harrison, on the Wabash against large force of Indians led by Tecumseh His distinguished military carer was clmaxed by ms victories against Mexico in l846.
 His brilliant military achievements created great enthusiasm throughout the country and in l048' ne was nominated by the Whigs and elected to the Presidency.
 During the short period of about one year, in which he served President before his death, dls- cusson centered the extension of slavery the admission of California as a State and the Mexican boundary.
 In observing the anniversary of a soldier who became President it is interesting to note that thls country may again next year, have an opportunity to mt into the highest office of our land a man who has gained his fame on the field of battle

One undisclosed reason why some Taft Republicans are push ing genial Congressman George Bender to run for Governor of Ohio is complaints from local lead CTS that two families, Taft and Bolton, are grabbing more than their share of Ohio's political plums
 Bender is being urged by such rabid Taftites as Ben Tate and Dave Ingalls to run against the Senator's Liberal brother, Charley However, most COP organization leaders in Ohio are for brother Charles.
 Another family with a double take on top political spots is the Bottoms. Oliver Bolton, son of the wealthy Congresswoman, Frances P Bolton, has announced for tn COZ nomination for representative il another district, the Eleventh.
 Mrs. Bolton, incidentally, has al excellent record in Congress, sticks to her job, doesn't waste time witt social fol-de-rol.
