The bidding:

2hearts Pass 4hearts All pass
Here is an easy-to-remember
yardstick: You should have, in high
cards, better than a minimum
opening vulnerable no-trump bid
that Is, little less than half the
deck.
This may be tempered somewhat
by holding a good fit in your part
ner's suit. But in any case your
partner is entitled to figure you for
considerably better than a mini
mum opening.
Other Reason.
BY the same token, you need a
fine hand to force your partner to
60 to the three level just to make
Q choice Of your first bid over your
second one.
Take today's hand for example.
Mr.. Dale opened the bidding with
q club and his partner bid spade.
Now Mr.. Dale bid two hearts. Sup
pose Mrs. Keen had held a pitifully
weak hand-just enough to re-
spond-and including two hearts
and three clubs. She would have
to bid three clubs to indicate a
preference for that suit. That
might very well have put the hand
overheard.
The point is, Of course, that Mr..
Dale would not have put his part
ner on that spot unless he had q
powerful hand.
Used Reverse System.
The sequence of bids used (bid-
ding q lower-valued suit first then
. higher-valued suit) is known as a
reverse. And don't let the word
confuse you. It is just label some
body tackled onto this bidding situ-
alton; it is not a new system" or
even a new method.
Common-Sense Is, as usual, the
controlling factor. In other words,
the higher you put the bidding, or
the higher you force partner to put
1t, the stronger your hand should be.
Knowing her partner was strong
enough to reverse, and holding a
fair hand herself, Mrs. Keen
promptly bid four hearts. Mr.. Dale
lost one trick in spades, one in
hearts and one in diamonds for an
easy game.

School Play, Tiger House Rated A Success With Lots of Laughs, Thrills

"Tiger House," mystery com edy, which was given by Nome High School last Friday night, was full of suspense, thrills a n d laughs.
 Although Mrs. William Cam eron didn't take bow with the cast, the community is well aware that it was through her excel lent coaching and directing that the play was so successful. Mrs. Cameron has directed the annual school, play for the past several years, giving the students wide variety of character parts to work at, and the community good en- tertainment.
 Leading lady was Katherine Bjornstad and the hero, Vernon Olson. Principle character parts were played by Bill Boucher, who turned out to be the Tiger mystery man; Betty Hurlbert, the maiden aunt whose false teeth caused much hilarity; Lawrence Okpe- aluk, African high chief; and Lo- lita Havercamp as an elderly housekeeper. Comedian Robert Summers kept the audience in constant laughter. Others in the cast were Diane Swanberg, Elmer Greene and Jeri FagerStrom, who also played their parts well.
 Following the show, the cast were guests of MT. and Mrs. Will liam Cameron at an after -theater party, at which time the students took the opportunity of present ing Mrs. Cameron with a lovely nugget butterfly pin as an expres- sion of their appreciation for her untiring efforts in their behalf.

Thirty Sailors Killed In Gun Explosion On Cruiser St. Paul

TOKYO, (P)-Thirty American seamen were killed in an explo- sion in gun turret on the cruiser St. Paul off Korea Monday. The Navy said it was the worst naval disaster of the Korean war.
 The announcement said "a gun powder fire of undetermined ori- gin" set off the explosion in an 8-inch forward turret. A board is Investigating.
 The St. Paul was firing on Communist positions on the Ko- rean east coast. It continued firing after the blast and still is in Ko- rean waters.
 Communist shore guns were not firing at the American warship.
 The blast rocked the heavy cruiser. All 30 victims were killed the Navy said, most by asphixi- ation due to burning gases. There were no injuries. All victims were in the turret.

AVA To Compile List Of Housing and Hunting And Fishing Places

SEATTLE, Plans for in- creasing tourist travel to Alaska were mapped at conference of the Alaska Visitors Association and transportation company exec utives Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce.
 Ed Coffey, Anchorage insurance man and president of the associ- ation, and James Chadwick, Ju- neau, executive director, said they hoped to make Alaska more popu- lar.
 Concensus of the group was that the Visitors Association should compile a list of housing and places to hunt and fish throughout Alaska. The list would be supplied to all travel agencies likely to book passengers to the Territory.
 The group decided an intensive publicity campaign of the Terri tory is the best means of realiz- ing its objective. In addition, full time tourist information centers will be operated during the sum- mer in Fairbanks, Nome, Anchor age and Juneau.
 The Alaska legislature has al- located $40,00O to finance the Visi- tors Association for the present biennium, Chadwick said. The statute, however, states the money may be used only to buy adver- Using space in publications.
 The Territorial Treasurer, in- cidentally, cannot issue the money to the Association unless matching funds raised from private sources are On hand. The provision, Cof- fey explained, was to make cer- tain the Association did not be- come a political football.

The Veterans
Corner

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions of interest to for
mer Servicemen and their families:
@. After World War II, I went to
college under the CT Bill where I
used my 48 months of entitlement
to get my BS degree. After grad
uation, went back on active duty.
Now hear there's a new CT Bill
for Korean veterans. When ! am
discharged again, will I be able to
use this new CT Bill to 60 ahead
with graduate studies?
A. No. The law states that vet
erans like yourself. who have train
ed under earlier veterans training
programs, may be entitled to to-
tai of 48 months of training under
| the old programs and the new CT
Bill combined. Since you've already
used that maximum under the
World War II CT Bill, you are not
entitled to any further GI training
under the new law.
@. | was divorced by my wife,
and naturally ! want to change the
beneficiary on my National Ser
vice Life Insurance policy. My for
mer wife, however, won't give me
the policy so that / can make the
| change. What can i do?
A. You don't have to have the
| policy in your possession to change
the beneficiary. Either go to your
nearest VA office and fill out q
change of beneficiary form, or
write to the VA district office
where you pay your premiums and
state how you want the insurance
| paid in the event of your death.
@. l understand that down pay
ment requirements have been low
cred for CT home loans. But even
so, l still don't have enough money
to make the down payment on the
house I'd like to buy. May l Dor
row money for the dswn payment?
A. You may borrow on your life
insurance policy for this purpose
but that is all. Other than this, you
must certify that you have no'
borrowed to make the required
down payment.
@. have been authorized ortho

DO KEY WESTERS WANT A YACHT BASIN7

no other place. in Florida elsewhere offers better

forests continue to fill in the bght it won't be long before

The Grand Jury must have had something of that ma
ure in mind when it advised City Commissioners to set
limit to encroachments on waters in the blight The term
bay bottom" used by the jury not only applied to the
blight but also to other along Key Vests shore line
AS to the blight, encroachments on it are similar to
killing the goose that lays the golden eggs That phase of
the matter does not to be apparent to private inter-

legal question pertaining to the blight has not been
finally decided by the courts That question is socaed

late Judge Jefferson B. Browne and j. Vning Harris,
who owned property along the blight on Palm Avenue
said that the term riparian rights" did not go back to
the original sales in that section but instead gradually
crept into deeds in subsequent conveyances
Further, citys rights paramount in the ends Of
streets that border the water and of proper

Sometimes it takes quite awhile
like twenty-one weeks for in

been at the Habana Madrid that
long. l had been hearing reports
from the hinterlands of this act,
but not being a very regular Ha-
bana Madrid goer, ! just didn't
get to it until the noise about this
gal got too loud.
Let me tell you. it isn't loud
enough! She's terrific! A take-off

efforts to make her small charges

The Key West citizen., 1952-11-15

One Of the lowest forms Of
chicanery, to our way of thinking
has been prac ii c e d in Key
West for long time in the form of
a few so-called night clubs who
have worked up something of a
lucrative business through the prac-
tice of employing ''B-Drinkers" to
increase their beverage sales.
We have long considered the
mulcting of unsuspecting tourists,
sailors and others by the hiring of
professional drink pushers", a
sorry state of affairs.
We went over to the City Hall
to see what they thought of the
situation, and we were told that
while the city fathers don't like it
a bit, there is nothing they can do
about the situation under existing
laws. If someone wants to buy a
girl drink, there is nothing any
one can do about it. You can't le-
gislate morals. they tell me.
The state beverage inspectors, if
they discover it, can revoke the
license of any bar found to be
watering their liquor as is often
the case.
The racket works something like
this: You walk into a bar and
some bimbo comes up and
makes like she is your type and
she's been bored as all getout
waiting for someone like you to
show up and will you buy her a
drink.
Just to be a nice guy and to
avoid the scorn of the bartender
who stands poised to accept your
order Che may even be filling IL
before you place it,, you figure
you'll buy one to be good Joe.
Joe.
While you don't like the idea be-
cause she is drinking cheap wine,
for which you are paying maybe
80 cents a glass, you figure you'll
buy one just to keep her off your
neck.
But that is only the beginning for
those who are not in the know. The
gal really makes like charmer in
an effort to keep you around =
and spending money. You turn
around to look at the clock and the
bartender slips another drink In
front Of the gal and he has his
hand out Che might as well have
it in your pocket ~ you owe fol
another drink, my friend.
Under the influence of too many
drinks at too high a price, the vic
tim ends up watching the gal
whom he thought i.e had sewed up
60 out the door with the bartender
and a good chunk of his money.
These places are doing the cit.
immeasurable harm. Visit upstat'
and the first thing anyone who ha
ever been in Key West will asl
with q wink) Is whether the striI
joints and gin mills are still oper
ating. Key West, although it is
sad fact, is getting the reputation
for being a sucker trap.
The point always comes out tina
people aren't forced to go to thes
places ~ which is true to a ceI
tain extent. But what about tn
younger sailors and the more cor
servative tourists who don't knoN
/ the score about these things an
don't find out until they are cor
siderably poorer?
For example, we remember coy
ering q hearing for young Bi
Redus, who was found putterin
around in the bedroom Of a Care
line Street couple unclothed. Test
mony at the hearing brought OF
! the fact that 1s-YEAR.0LD Redu'
who is cooling his heels in tn
County Jail, became very drunk |
