Take My Word for 1t
By Frank Colby

For heavens sake, don't point at
q star! Or so said the ancients,
for it was believed that only harm
could come to him who pointed at
the twinkling stars.
Men through the ages have set
strange values on sun, moon and
stars. There were those who be-
heved the stars were angels set
IN heaven to look with protective
eye upon man. Any person who
dared point at one would risk
putting out an angels eye.
We Of the So-called modern age
still stigmatize the pointing finger,
but now as a breach of etiquette.
Today, only good bird dog can
point, with any grace or sanction!
The finger is used in a f1gurative
sense in the Bible. The finger of
God signifies His power and opera
tion, as: But if I with the finger
Of God cast out devils, no doubt the
kingdom of God is come unto YOU"
st. Luke, xi20.
AS symbol of fate the finger ap-
pears In the famous Ruba1yat:
'The moving finger writes; and,
having writ,
Moves on: Nor all your piety nor
wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half q
line,
Nor all your tears wash out word
of it,"
For ages the cross has been the
symbol Of devout unity. One per-
son used to lay an index finger
across another persons index finger
to make a wish come true. This
superstition remains in Keep your
fingers crossed" (for good luck) /,
and in the custom of children who
cross their fingers when telling fibs.

For many years bridge theorists
have been trying to devise methods
which would enable the opener to
tell on his first bid weather he had
rs little as the law allowed or con-
siderably more than that.
One of these methods which is
still used by many players is the
conventional one-club opening toI
show better than q minimum hand.
They're Brave.
The best known of these one-club
openings is the Vanderbilt club
system. In that system you count
| only aces and kings. An ace-kingI
/ is two tricks. An ace is one trick.
A king is a half trick.
When you hold three tricks or
better with one suit unstopped (soI
that no-trump Is undesirable), you
open with one club.
If partner has less than two tricks
he must bid one diamond. If he
has two tricks or more, he makes
some other bid than one diamond
usually q bid of one in his biddable
suit.
Make Each Bid Tell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fusty play the
Vanderbilt club. On this particu-
lar deal they bravely got to two
diamonds-and made it. In fact.
they made four diamonds. And f.
they had got into heart contract,
they would have made the same
number of tricks-all of this against
the best defense. If the defense
was not too good, II tricks could
have been taken at either red suit.
The trouble was that they used
up one whole round of bidding
telling each other how many aces
and kings they had and telling
nothing at all about distribution
and suit "fitS."
You have so few bids before your
final contract is reached that fire.
quently each bid must tell some-
thing about both features of your
hand-distribution as well as high
cards.
Using up-to-date methods, Mr..
Masters and Mr.. Dale would nave
had no trouble at all in reachingI
the right final contract Of four
hearts.

and 100000 families evicted from shelter

hunger You just can't put down how hungry child
feels And picture can't show how feels when he knows
his child hungry and knows he can't do anything about it.
You just had to feel the Great Depression what it was

Army Unveils First New Tank, M-48,
 Since End of War

NEWARK, Del, P) The Army unveiled Tuesday what it called the first completely new medium tank to be developed since World War II-streamlined more powerful, and almost as easy to handle as new automo- bile.
 Designated the M-48, or Patton 48," it is being produced at the Chrysler tank plant here and at two other arsenals. Officials said sizable deliveries are expected be- fore the end of the year.
 The tank, in the 45 to 50-ton class, has several notable new features:
 IA lower silhouette than any other American tank of cores bonding size. Present US. tanks have been criticized because their height made them easily spotted.
 2-An egg-shaped, sloping el- liptical hull and turret. This makes it harder for an enemy shell to get a 'tbite" into the armor
 3-Wider treads than present medium tanks. The wider the tread, the better the tank can op- crate on muddy roads, in swamp terrain or in snow.
 "A 90-millimeter, high velo- city gun with a quick change tube Using only simple tools, the liner of the gun barrel can be changed in the field in minutes instead of sending the tank back to rear areas for replacement of a whole new gun when repeated firing has worn the rifling of the tube.
 5-A 5O-caliber machine gun on top of the turret which can be aimed, fired and loaded from within the tank. No longer does the gunner have to stand with head and shoulders exposed to enemy fire.

 Olen Petty, however, could not reach his son, Joe, g, who sank within inches of his grasping fin gers. The body was recovered later.
 Joe and his sister, Lucille, were wading in Schooler Lake, 16 miles northeast of here, and stepped into deep water.
 "It was miraculous" said their uncle, Cecil Garner, in regard to Petty's attempt to save them.
 Petty, he said, is able to walk only on his hands and knees. Wit nesses, shocked by the tragedy, were unable to recall how he reached his children from the bank so quickly.

2 New York (GlobaD - AS far as
I'm concerned two heroes were in
the news this past week and L
have sympathy for each of them.
MY pity for the two men cannot
now give aid or comfort to either,
however, for one has reached the
point where his glorious past is
behind him and his future SEEM
ingly only lies in the ignominy Of
rehashing old bits for public that
is famous for forgetting.
The first, Sergeant Cornelius H.
Charlton of the Bronx, New York,
died last June 2 in the bleak hills
of Korea, leading his infantry pla-
toon to Wrest an important hill
from the Communists. He was a
hero then. Two hundred and fifty
two days later on February II of
this year, his country awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor to
his 21-year-old Negro infantryman,
native of East Gulf, West Vir-
ginia.
Jou Louis, heavyweight champ
ion of the world for eleven years,
died a champion one JUNE night
in Yankee Stadium when Ezzard
Charles wrested his crown from
him. He died boxer one night in
Madison Square Garden when
Rocky Marciano knocked him
Sprawling on the edges of the ring
apron. But for me, rigor mortis
really set in on Joe Louis as my
hero when he announced his latest
attempt to grab couple of bucks
by touring the country with his
old fight pictures to show the lat
est generation how he knocked out
various pugs in the q hate to ad-
init it, long, long ago.
Look at the two of them: Young
Charlton died when only twenty
one years old. Louis, I believe,

Joe Lous' Show Is Sad Ending To
Greet Champ; Recall Flea Circus

began fighting as a pro. Today
they refer to him as "old joe" al
though he's only thirty-six. He's
dead in his profession.
There's really no similarity be-
tween these two. Still, each is a
hero to me. But in different times;
Charlton today, Louis yesterday.
AS much as I'd like to, refuse
to harp on the fact that young
Charlton is only the second Negro
to receive the Medal of Honor in
the Korean War. Nor, as much
as I'd like too, shall I elaborate
on the fact that the Virgfhia-born
Bronx Negro youth received his
medal on Lincolns birthday in an
election year.
Young Charlton saw his duty
and he did it. He did it we'll, ac-
cording to his commanding officer
and the War Department. His
country now honors him and re-
members him and reveres his ac-
tiOnS.
Joe Louis saw his duty, too. He
also did it, He did it we'll accord
ing to all boxing records as COM
piled by Nat Fleischer. His country
also remembers him.
And yet, when I saw the signs
around Harlem announcing that
Joe Louis was beginning his lee
ture tour at the Golden Gate Ball
room, 1 couldn't help thinking of
Jack Johnson when he had reached
the end of the road, sharing a bill
on 42nd Street with a bunch of
fleas.
I also thought of the old Louis
who, on the night of a fight -
anywhere - could send Harlem
ties streaming out into the streets
screaming, shouting, laughing, grin
ming and dancing with joy because
their hero" had once again come
through triumphant.
Today, it's different story. Joe,
the lecturer, is not Joe, the Brown
Bomber. There's more that signi-
fies his demise as a public hero
than the bald spot now showing
at the crown of his head. And the
whole idea makes me sad indeed.
Yes, two of my heroes are gone.
One has gone body and soul. The
other is still here physically. Spir-
itually, though, he too is gone for
me.
