In honeymoon bridge. as we used
to play it. the deck Of cards is
placed in the center and each
player takes a turn drawing a
card and, If it is low card or
does not fit with the rest Of his
hand, discarding it and drawing
a second. II the first card drawn
is retained, the second one is dis
carded. sight unseen. Each player
ends up with 13 cards as IN the
regular game Of bridge and the
playing proceeds with the bidding
and playing as though there were
four players instead Of two. The
discarded pile is not used.
Honeymoon bridge is not as
satisfying sas the four-handed
bridge. IN our opinion, so we
finally took up gin rummy which
we think is far more challenging
and interesting. May I suggest it?-

COTTON LOOP RUGS:
WASHING HOOKED RUGS?
(From Mrs. j. L. A.:Jr.
Washington.J
For Mrs. A. F.. Silver Spring:
Have you ever thought Of cotton
loop rugs? They are easy to wash
by machine or by hand. Can be
used as scatter rugs or sew sew
eral together for complete floor
covering. Watch for sales and
you can pick up some good buys.
Most are rubberized on the back
to prevent sliding.
Help! Help! Has any one q
short. easy method for washing
oval hooked rugs, used with Early
American furniture? Can they be
soaked overnight or washed in q
machine?

1t Sometimes Helps to Have an Angle

also sometimes produces dramatic
or unusual effects. The picture
illustrating today's column is an
excellent example of what can be
achieved by shooting from a very
low angle. It also has other points
to recommend it. For one thing it
certainly pictures a little girl en-
gagged in an activity she likes and
thus presents a subject whose lack
of self-consciousness makes her
appear unaware of the camera.
Getting back to the matter of
angles, let's consider the opposite
extreme. Don't be afraid to make
an occasional shot from an un-
usually high angle, even if you
have to mount chair to do it.
This way you may get a picture
that's interesting and different,
worth while because of its novelty.
You can also employ this tech.
nique to gain a neutral back
ground such as the grassy lawn in
outdoor shots or the rug indoors.
Whether you shoot high or low,
it's worth while to try different
angles once in awhile.
John van Guilder
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1952-03-05

IT'S a widely accepted fact that
L there are exceptions of every
good rule. One such rule is that
which says that the normal camera
level is the subjects own eye level
and this holds true whether
you're picturing an adult, a child,
or the puppy. It's good rule but
there are times when you should
take exception.
Try a high angle, or low angle,
depending on the situation. You
can try the various angles without
wasting film if you study your
subject in the view finder from a
number of points of view. You
have a great deal Of latitude in
this angle business when you are
shooting out of doors since there's
more space in which to maneuver.
A different angle is also fire.
quently a good solution to a back
ground problem. If you don't like
what you see behind your subject
when shooting at eye level, look
at the subject from a very low
angle. Then you'll find the sky
fills the view finder and provides
a pleasant, neutral background 1t

progress - an increase of 26 per

! UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Dec,
Ex-senator Wiley, Republican
|of Wisconsin threatened the
United Nations last night with q
loss Of its biggest chunk Of finan-
cial support-that from the United
States-unless something is done
to keep subversives and spies out
of the u. N. secretariat.
But in making his threat. Sem
ator Wiley-who is slated to head
the powerful Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee in the new Con-
gress-made it clear he thinks a
major part Of the blame fol-
alleged subversives still on the
U. N. payroll lies with the Ameri-
can State Department.
Senator Wiley said in a state
ment that congressional senti-
ment is building up to cut of
United States money for the in
Iternational organization unless
adequate security procedures have
been worked out to guarantee that
the U. N. and it's organs do not
remain a base for espionage and
subversion."
U. S. Pays One Third.
The United States pays little
more than one-third Of the U. N
bills and has contributed $500 mil.
lion to it since 1916.
Senator Wiley is serving as
United States delegate to the U. N
Assembly. but he emphasized that
he spoke only as a Senator. The
american delegation to the u. N
was taken aback by Senator
Wiley's blast and had no COM
ment.

Lie has asked the State Depart
ment for definite evidence rather
than a few words Of adverse
comment" against them.
Mr.. Lie has also asked the
United States Government for the
evidence on which a Federal grand
jury based its charge that there
was widespread disloyalty among
American employees Of the U. N.
Senator Wiley said he had re-
peatedly argued with high State
Department officials to make the
information available to Mr.. Lie
but~said he had had no luck.
Il regret to say that the depart
ment's attitude appears to be one
of wilful blindness to the realities,
he declared.

The u. N. authorized a state

saying that the adverse informa-
tion was merely delivered orally

and that he had never received

versive connections which would

ber.
Those whom Mr.. Lie has dis
charged, the spokesman said, were
discharged on the basis of their
public testimony before the COM
mittee and not on unfavorable
comments made by the State De-
partment.
A U. N. source said 19 persons
have been fired for refusing to
answer Senate committee ques-
tions and 20 separated from the

AS result of an inquiry by u. S.

Gen. C. H. Chorpening, assistant
chief of engineers for civil work in
Washington, wrote that all such
work, not related to the defense
effort or essential to civilian econ

ing on the sitting and tidal prob
lem at New Castle, General Chorp-
ening wrote that about two square
miles are drained by the dixie
which was also the outlet for three
city storm sewers. 1t was explain
ed that the gates are supposed to
open on a falling tide and close
when the tide is rising, but the
hinges are broken and the gates do
not operate. AS a result the flood
conditions result on a rising tide.

INTERPRETATIONS SOCIETY
DIR. George r. Miller, Jr., Endorses
Activities of Delaware Society

ACTIVITIES of Delaware Society
DIR. George X. Miller, Jr., Super
intendent of the State Department
of Public Instruction added his en-
dorsement this week to the aetiv-
tiles of the Delaware Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society made possible by
the annual sale of Christmas Seals.
DIR. Miller said, "Once again every
one of us will have the privilege of
identifying himself with a most
worthy cause-continuing the fight
against tuberculosis through the
purchase of Christmas Seals. In
doing so we help not only those
who are afflicted, but ourselves as
well. For, by the Identification
and isolation of the sick, the pos
sibilities of spreading the disease
are greatly minimized. Eventual
ly, tuberculosis may be eliminated
as the dread disease that it is. But
that time is not now. Therefore,
consistent and continuous efforts
must be made to control it, and to
search out ways and means of de-
stroying it. Since workers in this
field are day in and day out seek
ing the answers, it seems a very
modest request to ask all of the
citizens of Delaware to unite to
buy Christmas Seals that all of
the fine and fruitful activity
against tuberculosis might be car
ried on uninterruptedly." The
third week of the Seal Sale started
December 1st. The sale will con-
tinue until Christmas. The Seal
Sale Headquarters are in the So
ciety's Building at 1908 Delaware
Avenue, Wilmington.
