DEAR MISS NISSEN: Shortly
after World War II, I was sent
abroad. met a girl, as so many OF
us did, and, about a month before
I was to return home, she told me
she was going to have my child.
We didn't expect that I would be
sent back to the States so soon.
When I came home, met girl;
we fell in love and were married. ]
had told her Of the girl abroad.
My wife and I wrote to the girl
and sent clothes and other things.
We are still writing to her. and !
wonder if it is all right for one
reason. am constantly dreaming
of the girl and the baby. We have
had pictures of the Child. who re-
sembles me. I love my wife dearly,
and she is very understanding
about the whole thing. What
could you suggest that I do?
D. D.
ANSWER: There are many ex-
GIs living with the same problem.
In any triangle of this type some
one obviously has to suffer. and
it is usually the unwed foreign
mother. However, she realized at
the time Of your alliance that
there were complications involved
and, since she entered into the
affair with full knowledge of pos
sible consequences, she is not en-
tirely innocent of blame.

centuries Of the Christian era es-
tablished the banana on the east
coast Of Africa. 1t is now believed
that the Arabs with their trafiic In
slaves and ivory, gradually carried
the fruit from tribe to tribe across
equatorial Africa to the Guinea
coast on the Atlantic.
At this place 1t was found by the
Portuguese who arrived in 1882
They at once recognized the food
value Of the fruit, accepting the
African name banana" The fruit
and roots were carried with the cap
tured slaves to the Canary Islands
on the Guinea coast,
The Rev. Tomas de Berlanga, q
fearless Spanish priest, Is given full
credit for bringing this food-fruit
to the New World. In 1916 he
arrived as q missionary on the
island Of Hispaniola bringing with
him banana roots from the Cana

Banana History.

Many persons are fond Of the
banana, but few realize the import
ant role it played in the life of
man. Long before history was
recorded, man has used 1t for
nourisling food.
The banana industry has been q
vital factor in creating q better
understanding between the United
States and the Caribbean countries;
also contributing to their economic
development.
Its native home Is belived to be IN
the humid tropical regions Of
Southern Asia, where we know that
at much later date (327 B.C) the
armies Of Alexander the Great found
this fruit abundant in the valley Of
the Indus.
At an early date man discovered
that the root. even though COM
pletely dried out after q long jour-
|ney from its home site, would
flourish and produce fruit when
planted In suitable soil In an ac-
ceptahle climate.
The Arabs got their fruit in India
and introduced it into the Holy

The autors say, South simply
could not imagine that North could
bid as he did without holding the
ace OF hearts ;. Should South bid
four no trump, it would be a no
trump ra1ss-not Blackwood."
1t does seem a shame to take a
minus score on this fine hand lust
because South chose to guess about
The ace of hearts. It was simplicity
ItSelf to find out whether or not
North had that card.
Bid Four No Trump.
AL South had to do was to bid
four no trump after his partner had
jumped to two no trump on the first
round and later raised hearts. That
four no trump bid definitely would
have been a Blackwood bid, asking
partner about aces.
If this particular South player did
not figure it that way, then he
either wasn't playing the BlackwoodI
convention or didn't know the con-
vention.
D It is true that you often find your
self in ticklish situation after you
have opened the bidding with onel
of suit and partner bids two mol
trump.
Sometimes you have balanced
hand, well above minimum, and
you would like to bid four no trump
simply because you feel you have too
much to bid only three.
Unbalanced Hand.
In other words you would like to
invite your partner to 60 to a no.
trump slam if he has additional
values yet unshown.
At other times, you have an un-
balanced hand where the only infor-
nation you need to decide about a |
slam is the number of aces in the
partnership. In this case, you want
10 bid four no trump to ask for aces.
Well, one thing is sure-you can't
play it both ways. The question is,
which way will be more useful? II
believe the second method is more
useful and in the next few columns
