Contract Bridqe

Contract Bridge
By EosIey BIoekwood
Mr.. Dale is very keen on safety
plays. In today's deal he took an
early finesse in one suit for the
purpose of trying to find out how
to play another suit.

Against the six-heart contract
Mrs. Keen opened the jack of clubs,
which was taken with the king.
With no chance of discarding a
heart on anything in dummy, Mr..
Dale saw it was going to be neces-
sary to take fineSse against the
king of hearts.
Nobody likes to take a finesse at
trick two when he is in a slam
contract, but Mr.. Dale did in this
hand and he had a good reason for
1t. He led heart and f1nesSed
dun1my's jack. If this play had lost
to the king, it would have meant
that he could not have afforded to
lose any tricks in the trump suit.
In that case he probably would
have led the king of spades and
followed with a small one, hoping
to guess successfully whether to
finesse the jack or not.
But when the heart finesse was
successful, it was possible to lose a
trick in spades and still bring home
IL tricks. In other words, Mr.. Dale
could now afford the luxury of a
safety play in trumpS-a play which
would very probably lose one trick
but not lose two.
At trick three, then. he let down
the ace Of spades. He came to his
hand with high diamond and led
another spade toward the jack.
Mrs. Keen showed out on this trick
and the jack was taken by Mr..
Abel's queen. However, there was
now a proven f1nesse against Mr..
Abel's guarded ten.
If Mrs. Keen had held the four
spades to the queen-ten, the de-
tenders still would have got only one
trump trick.
AS you see, if Mr.. Dale had played
the king and another spade begin
ming at trick two, his contract would
have been doomed at the start.

In ancient Egypt there were or
acies in temples. People went to
the temples to learn about the fu-
ture. 1t came to be the custom for
the pharaohs, or kings, to go to the
temple of Anon on the Oasis" In
that temple was a statue of the god
Anon, and the statue would shake
after a question was asked. The
way it shook gave the yes" or mo-
to the kings question.
Today we feel sure that the statue
of Anon was shaken by Egyptian
priests. or their helpers. The kings
probably supposed that the god was
giving answers to their questions.

Can Badness be Avoided?

The mystery of badness has baffled science
Throughout the ages. What really causes bald
ness? Is "dandruff' dangerous? Do 'hair

which youia likely to find a multitude Of

Political towards
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The greatest danger today which
threatens this democracy Of ours
is not Communism. 1t is something
within, thing that is growing and
destroying like a malignant tumor
the very heart and basic principles
on which this government was
founded. Political Cowardice' is
this danger.
What is political cowardce
How does it affect us? Perhaps
in some small way | can explain
and answer these questions.
There are various forms of po-
litical cowardice. There is the Of
flee worker, laborer, clerk, or
other worker who works under the
control of a governmental body or
agency, be it Federal, State, County
or municipal. He gains the idea or
is made to feel that the holding Of
his job depends on his action in
carrying out the business Of this
body or agency, be it fair and
above-bOard, or some undcrcoVer
scheme which is pulled over on the
general public at their expense. He
is afraid not to vote for the elected
members of this agency at the next
election and again places them in
power. He might lose his job if he
doesn't. The power of these po-
litical towards and their effect is
not so much their power as indi-
viduals, as it is their number. A
lot of votes are involved when there
is an election, which might swing
the balance in favor Of certain can
didates which the general public
might wish to eliminate.
There is City Councilman,
County Commissioner, Member of
House of Delegates, State Senator,
Congressman, L. s. Senator or
even a President who is afraid to
oppose his associates when he
knows they are wrong. They might
oppose something he might pro-
pose, some legislation which he
wants to have passed, should he
not fall in line with their desires.
1t is in this manner we have laws
passed which deprive lot of us
Of our just rights as citizens, pub
lie funds are allotted to certain
projects which conflict with free
enterprise, and new tax burdens
piled upon us to pay for things

we do not get or which are of no
benefit to the most Of us. He is
afraid to oppose certain groups,
labor unions, political machines in
their selfish and unreasonable de-
mands. He might lose their sup
port when the time comes for his
coming out for reelection to office.
These are your Political towards.
They cover up and hide from
the general public the crooked
dealing, waste and corruption
which is undermining and destroy
ing the very foundation Of our de-
mocracy, and so, blindly, you and
/, who want to preserve our way
Of life, are misled and caused to
allow, unknowingly, these danger
Gus enemies to carry out their
cowardly purpose which can only
lead to destruction.
SO. you Political towards. cast
off your misguided fears. Lift up
your heads Cast off your yoke of
coWardice and open your hearts to
those fine principles which God
intended for all Of us to uphold
and enjoy in this great country Of
ours, the fine principles Of Democ-
Iacy through and by which we
each have certain rights and priv
leges, and are taught to respect
those same rights and privileges
for our fellow men.
Come out and vote for those can

Gas Rate Boost
Would Hike Prices
SIS To SIS Per Year

Approval of temporary rate
increase sought by the Cumberland
and Allegheny Gas Company from
the Public Service Commissions in
Maryland and West Virginia
would result in an increase to con-
sumers of from SIS to $55 annually,
according to an estimate made this
week by company officials.
A story in the daily newspapers
on Wednesday estimated the cost
hike would be up to 81 percent for
area customers. The costs were
calculated on the basis of old rates
and the proposed new schedule.
Both the Mayor and Council Of
Cumberland and the Allegaav
Board Of County Commissioners
have announced intentions of pro-
testing the proposed rate increase.
keyser citizens also reported dis
approval of the pending hike. No
action of any kind was taken by
local officials.
A spokesman for the c. and \.
gas company's main office in
Pittsburgh gave the following es-
Inmates.
About SIS more annually 70"
consumers with cooking stoves and
hot water heaters.
An extra $45 per year for Gus
toners with space heaters" or
small stoves used for heating, in
addition to cooking stoves and hot
water heaters.
And $55 more a year for those
with central fire heating units aud
other household equipment using
gas.
The present base rates, effective
since January, 1887, in Keyser,
Piedmont, Oakland, McCoole,
Kitzmiller, Luke, Bloomington,
Westenport, Oakland, Mt. Lake
Park, Deer Park, Hutton and vi
entities:
First 1000 cubic feet, $50 per
1000 cubic feet; next 1000 cubic
feet, $.72 per 900 cubic feet; and
all over 1000 cubic feet, $.57 per
900 cubic feet
The induccment rate, effective
since 1897, is first 600 cubic feet,
SIG per cubic feet; next 400
cubic feet at $.057 per 100 cubic
feet, next 10000 cubic feet, at
$.O47 per 100 cubic feet, and all
over $4,000 cubic feet, $.045 per
100 cubic feet.
Rates in this area arc some high
er than at Cumberland in some in
stances, and lower in some in
stances. Here it is more than Cum

Turkey Growers
Organize; Will
Expand Industry

Turkey growers met last FRIDAY
evening and decided to organize
with the idea in mind of develop
ing the industry by use Of a trade
name, and exploring other posi-
bilities of making Garrett County
turkeys better known.
Sixteen growers gathered at the
William-James Hotel in Oakland
as guests of the Agriculture COM
mittee of the Mt Top Chamber of
Commerce. Other guests included
John H. Carter, county agent;
James McHenry, assistant county
agent; Earl r. Poorbaugh, direc-
tor of the department of lnfor-
nation, Annapolis; and Gordon &.
Worcester, director of training for
Ess-kay Packing company, of Bal
timore.
Mr.. Poorbaugh outlined promo
tional possibilities of Garrett coun-
ty products along the Eastern
seaboard and stressed the POSSIBLE
ties of the turkey industry. Mr.
Worcester discussed packing
plants in general and explained
how lines handled by a packing
plant have been broadencd to in
cludc poultry, eggs and butter, in
addition to the usually accepted
lines of livestock meats. Mr.. Car
ter skctched the progress of the
Maple Syrup Industry in its COM
mon labelling program.
In deciding to continue develop
ment of the turkey industry, the
following officers were elected:
Kermit Glotfelty, president; Cur
tbs Miller, vicc-president; Lowell
Loomis, secretary; Samuel Stcycr,
treasurer. A permanent name for
the organization and a trade mark
for labelling the turkeys arc to be
decided later. Officers are to draw
up set of bylaws and another
meeting is planned for the near
future to which other turkey
growers are to be invited. The six
teen men who attended the initial
meeting started over 10000 tur-
keys this year, which shows the
possibility of the success of the
program.
