Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

You may not believe it, but there
is a real Santa Claus who brings
us presents. He doesn't wear a red
suit; he has no white beard nor
round belly; he doesn't ride behind
Prancer and Dancer nor slide
down chimneys. He is simply the
trudging, tired, gray-clad United
States postman whose integrity and
devotion to duty are fittingly SYM
bolized in the inscription on the
main post office Of New York City:
Not snow, nor rain, nor heat
nor gloom Of night stays these
couriers from the swift compile
ton Of their appointed rounds.
"a free translation of Herodotus
to the Persian messengers.)
Now is good time to think about
post office employees, and ponder the
fact that in spite Of the enormous
increases in mail volume, the mail
gets through, and Christmas comes
to us and to our boys in the service.
This is a good time to be re-
minded that, despite the dizzy
spiral in cost of living, mail-rate
increases have been negligible. And
no one ever heard of Q poStman
striking for higher pay, shorter
hours or lighter packs.
Many, many thanks, Santa Claus
and Merry Christmas.

Prince said he would fix things If
only he would try.
So. finally, the West Wind
agreed. He hobbled down to the
ship. The Prince thanked Santa
and his workers for all their help
and said good-by to Capt. Long
hair.
The Ship Set Out.
Then the pirates (who were
now sailors in Prince Jonathan's
navy took their stations on the
ship and set out to sea.
The West Wind perched on the
rail in the stern and the Prince
put hot water bottles at his feet
and wrapped him in II quilts and
gave him hot soup to drink.
Finally the West Wind growled
that he guessed he wasn't going
to freeze to death after all. He
cleared his throat and gave a few
practice huffs and puffs. Then he
filled his great, shapeless. hollow
self with air and began to blow
He blew a mighty wind. And
the wind filled the sails and sent
the ship skimming across the
waves straight toward the trou-
bled Kingdom of Fairvania.

Contract Bridqe

BY Eosley Bloekwood
Here is another illustration of
the fact that the most important
play by a defender Is not the open
ing lead, but the first lead he makes
after the opening lead.

The bidding:

Mr.. Masters found the killing
defense in today's hand. But, as
good as he Is, it would have been
impossible for him to find it with
his opening lead. He figured 1t
out logically at his second lead
after he had seen the dummy and
reconsidered the bidding.
The opening was the king of
hearts-purely routine. Miss Brash
played the discouraging deuce and
this, coupled with the fact that she
had raised hearts, made it practi-
cally certain that Mr.. Champion
had started with a singleton in
the suit.
So, no more tricks for the de-
tenders in hearts. It was extremely
unlikely that Miss Brash had a
trick in the trump suit, but If she
did it would have to be the ace or
the kingjack-in other words, a trick
which she would always get.
It seemed more likely that she
held one of the minor suit aces
After all, even she has to have
something to raise her partners
overcall.
If she had the ace Of diamonds
then Mr.. Champion undoubtedly
had the ace of clubs. That would
not be good for the defense, as
they would probably win only two
tricks-a heart and a diamond. But
If the minor suit aces were re-
versed, there was chance to beat
the contract. And with the solid
diamond suit on the board, that
chance had to be taken Immediately
With these thoughts in mind,
Mr.. Masters decided the club suit
offered the only hope. And he had
to choose exactly the right club.
He did. He led the jack and at
that point the contract was doomed.
If the queen was not put up in
dummy. the jack would win the
cashing Of the ace and king would
do the trick.
Actually, Mr.. Champion covered
with the queen. Miss Brash won
with the ace and returned club.
Mr.. Masters then held the king
nine over the ten-seven to guar
antee the set.

Capt. Longhair's nearly bald
head glistened in the sun. He
watched Prince Jonathan staring
sadly over the sea.

defeated the fiercest pirate on the
seven seas"

Prince. II needed your treasure

"But-how?"
They Moved the Ship.

20 feet. When the tide goes out
In six hours your treasure will be

The Princes heart leaped with
Joy. Could such a thing be true?
He ran to Santa with the news.
Santa said six hours was a short
time to wait and they would see
what happened.
Tweedleknees said while they
waited they better make some
rubber balls-this time some
properly done balls for Christmas
stockings.
They moved the ship farther
from shore so that the low tide
would not leave them as well as
the treasure sitting on the sand.
Then every one-pirates and
brownies alike-Set to work max

AS the hours passed the tide
went out. Sure enough, in six
hours the water that had covered
the treasure had been swept to

gold and jewels cleaning on the
sand.

Of many long-lived animals, but We

by one scientist:
Rabbits and hares, 5 to 10 years.
Guinea pigs, 6 to 2 years.
Squirrels, 6 to Is years.
Robins, IL years.
Starlings, 8 years.
Hens, 10 to 30 years.
Swifts, 8years.
Canaries. "a years.
Hawks, 80 to 40 years.
Donkeys and zebras, IS to 80 years.
Deer. 20 years.

$50 Million Deficit
Seen by Donaldson if
Mail Rates Don't Rise
by the Associoisd Press

Postmaster General Donaldson
told Congress yesterday that 1t
will have to raise postal rates If
st doesn't want the Post Office
Department to lose $670 million
this next fiscal year.
He recommended increases for
second and third class mail
principally newspapers. magazines
and advertising matter-which he
said was not paying its proper
tionate share Of expense.
"The huge losses or deficits re-
fleet the failure Of postal rates
to keep pace with the substantial
postwar increases in salaries,
transportation charges and other
operating COSTS" Mr.. Donaldson
said.
His report was made to the
House Post Office Committee.
Hits False Impression.
II the post office is to be oper-
ated as a service agency and reg
ularly subsidized, he said, the pub
lie should not be left with the im-
preston that ''the large deficit is
due to mismanagement or ineffi-
ciency."
Mr. Donaldson said the second
class publications. deficit was
responsible for almost one-thir&
of the Post Office Departments
deficit. running around $255 mil
lion a year.
Congress last year authorized
increases in Second-claSs rates of
10 per cent a year. to take effect
over a three-year period. Mr..
Donaldson dismiSSd this as an
advance which "will not go very
far" toward reducing the operat-
ing deficit for this class of mail.
Cites Advertising Cost.
He cited figures showing that In
1851 more than So billion was
spent for newspaper advertising
and over half a billion for maga-
zine advertising.
1T should be stated, however,
In fairness to most metropolitan
newspapers. that only small per-
centage of their poundage actual
ly passes through the mails" he
added
Since 1945, Mr.. Donaldson add
ed, annual costs increased by
