Molly Turner had never liked
children. and through all these
twenty-five years she had been for
tunate that none had moved next
door. She felt in way that telling
prospective tenants with children
the bad features about the old house
had spared her an association she
couldn't have endured. There hadn't
been anything wrong in speaking
the truth.
Molly put her sewing on table,
got up from her chair with diff

stove to shake it down and put in
a scuttle of coal She had told the
woman the truth about the house
being drafty and needing repair,
and about Frank Overton being so
tight he'd never do anything about
it.
She Strengthened and turned to-
ward the window, and that was
when she say him: Ronnie, the
ten-year-old boy belonging to the
woman she'd talked to the other
day. He was standing against the
fence looking toward her house.
Planning up his conquests of dew
iltry, she thought, and she groaned
in sick disappointment
She hObbled back to her chair.
So they had taken the house
after all! Well-SOmeWay she
had to keep the brat out of her
yard. There were her flowers in
the spring and summer. He'd
rummage in her sheds and
break up things.
She glanced out of the window
and saw ROnnie climbing the fence.
She pulled herself out of the chair
and waddled hastily to the door

child. Get back in your own yard"
Ronnie looked at her a second then
climbed back over the fence.

she said. Get back in your own

1t was the way Molly looked that
caused the kid to scamper down
the walk and climb over the fence
as if she had actually shot at his
feet.

keep Ronnie away Every day
Molly had to chase him out of her
yard. Every day she vowed she'd
skin him alive. What kind of mother
did Ronnie have that she allowed
him to poster crippled old wom-
an like her!
But one night a blizzard came,
and the town of Hanover was cover

bucket of coal by her stove, and
she dared not venture out on the
ice to get more. She used the coal
sparingly, and when she got down

Molly couldn't speak for a

said finally. and for the first
time in all these twenty-five
years of not wanting children
next door, she saw the injustice
of her prejudice toward them.
What queer quirk in her mind
had blinded her to the happiness
a child could bring her?
Maybe it was because she had
never looked at one-not as she was
looking now at Ronnie and seeing
the clear innocence OF his eyes.
A smile broke across her old
face, Thank you, Ronnie," she
said.

There are no reliable estimates
as to the percentage of actual

that the figure is alarmingly high.
1t is only slight exaggeration to
say that declarer should look upon
the finesse as a necessary evil and
resort to 1t only when other meth
ods appear to be inadequate. There
are certain combinations of cards
that declarer should studiously
avoid. One of them is that con-
tanning the queen in one hand, the
jack In the other. If an adversary

go trickless.
The final contract of four spades
in today's hand was sound, indeed.
North's two-club response Is SIM
ply a temporizing measure to keep
the bidding alive until North can
tell partner that he has good
hand. There Is no other way for
him to do 1t. He dare not Jump
to three spades, for his hand is not
quite strong enough and, of course,
he must not respond with two
spades, because his hand Is worth
IL points in support Of spades and
the absolute limit for a single raise
is 10 points. First bidding a suit
and then raising partner takes
care of hands ranging from 10 to
IL dummy" points and gives
opener every inducement to pro-
ceed. !
The jack of hearts was led. De-
clarer won, extracted trumps,
cashed the hearts and took the dia-
mond f1nesse. When this lost, West
returned diamond and declarer
was obliged to open the club suit
himself, and, since neither of the
defenders would oblige by playing
second hand high, he was COM
PEELED to lose three tricks in that
suit.
The contract could have been
safeguarded in a very elementary
manner by foregoing the luxury
Of the diamond f1nesse. After draw
ing trumps and cashing the hearts,
the play of the ace of diamonds,
followed by the queen, saddles the
opposition with the lead and COM
pels them to get out with a club
or give declarer a ruff and a dis
card. Declarer, therefore, loses one
diamond and two clubs in fulhlment
Of his contract.
Conceding the queen of diamonds
to the adversaries Is no act of
charity. 1t requires no generosity
to give up what might be taken
from you anyhow.

WHY FORESTRY?
P. Mcmillan. Area Forester

why Forestry? In the past few
weeks / have been asked that
question many times. Invariably
the landowner asking the cues
uon has been middle aged and
maintains that as an individual he
VIII not receive any benefits from
any forestry program. He's wrong.
Following r some of the reasons
why forestry is a good investment
for anyone.
The land advocated for use as
reforest land is so badly eroded
and worn out that only trees can
be grown on it at a profit. When
this land is burned year after
year the land remains worn out
as fire kills young trees and the
better grasses. Therefore. the
land remains worn out and worth
less to the landowner. However,
as soon as fires r stopped and
the land is seeded either natural
ly or by a forestry program the,
value Of the property increases
each year. You do not have 10
wait until the trees have become
merchantable to sell the prop
erty at a profit. Many Of the
wood using industries and private
individuals realize the value of
land already stocked with trees
and are willing to pay good prices
for the land. In many cases the
value of land doubles within two
years after pine trees have be-
come established.
The landowner who already has
an established forest will benefit
from any forestry program. He
may receive help in marketing his
timber, planting bare areas,
marking the trees which should
be removed, preventing insect
damage and s%uppressing fires.
Fire protection is a landowners
insurance against loss just as the
fire departments operate to pre-
vent loss in u cities and towns.
Again the landowner starts to be-
nefit as soon as he starts manag-
ing his timberlands for he is in
creasing the value of his forest
each year. If he decides to sell
his forest in a few years after put
ting it under management he will
receive much more than if he left
the forest in its natural state.
Trees are a crop just like cot
ton or corn, and forestry is no.
thing but the managing of this
crop to produce the largest profit
in the shortest time.
The landowner who owns no
timber land has pasture
benefits from a forestry program
because fire protection protects
his pastures. Many landowners
were thankful for the fires put
out in the pastures during the re-
cent drouth. The cost of replac-
ing 20 fence posts is more than
the forestry tax of 90 per cent of
the landowners of Holmes county.
Therefore, every landowner can
benefit from a forestry program.
A forestry program in a county
increases the overall wealth of
the county, thus it is a help to
At the same time, a
vital raw material is being pro-
duced for the economic security of
our country.
