Take a look at today's hand. At
first glance it appears that nothing
can prevent Mr.. Abel from making
his contract. He loses only two
spades and a club. Actually, he
has no chance at all against the
proper defense.
Mr.. Masters won the first two
tricks with the king and queen of
spades, MIR. Muzzy echoing with the
seven and deuce. Now, Mr.. Mast
efs fully realized the potential value
Of his twice-guarded 10 of trumps.
j.. Promotes 10 Spot. /
IfMr. Muzzy had the king or the
queen or the jack OF trumpS, that
10 spot could be promoted to full
nedged winner.
To effect this, Mr.. Masters cashed
the, ace Of clubs. then led another
3pade even though he knew Mr..
Dale was out of the suit. With
Mr.. Champion as a partner, he
could have led any spade-even the
see-and Mr.. Champion would have
rilNed with his highest trump to
try and promote a trump winner in
Mr.. Masters hand.
Leads Low Spade.
Not so with Mr.. Muzzy. If the
ace of spades had been led at trick
three he undoubtedly would have
taken q discard. He would have
said, "you can never convince me
that should trump my partners
good ace"
You never could either.
Anyway, to make sure Mr.. Muzzy
would trump, Mr.. Masters led the
TREY Of spades. The nine topped
It and Mr.. Muzzy put up the queen
of trun1ps.
Mr.. Abel over-ruffed with the king
but after that he had to lose a
trump trick for down one.

They Mean Business

The Rockville Chamber of Commences decision to ire
vltallze its organization a welcome and long
past due = step in Rockville affairs.
1t is no secret that in the MAN, the business
y has not kept of the growth population and that
the County seat well additional business and service
agencies.
1t is secret either that many Rockville residents
fail support their local merchants and businesses and that
very large portion of the local dollar finds its
way into the lower County and into downtown Washington
Part of this habit of not buying Rockville is the fault
of the merchants who do not or are unable to provide the
services of downtown merchants 1t is due also the failure
OF the local business to oo their horn the matter
merchandise and services they supply
The decision to place the affairs of the Chamber under
the direction of fume pubcst is good and should pro-
duce results.
1t will produce results if the business men here will
rise from their chairs at night and attend revazed
organizations meetings 1t will produce results if the bust
ness men will work cooperative unit and not let plans
die abonng 1t will produce results all business will recog
nIze its responsibility to the business community and
port organization which every progressive town city
needs for economic progress. a1tH

Franw Williams had pointed out
that the work of the group was
seriously retarded by lack of funds.
Ned Stovitz, of Nedley's Jewelry
store, said he did not believe the
business men would object to foot
ing the Chambers bill if they knew
what the group had to offer for
funds put up. He said he believed
there was need for a defined pro-
gram so business interests would
know what they're paying for.
Clearing House
Van Lippard said a well-rounded
group should serve also as a clear
ing house for information needed
by outside concerns interested in
locating here.
At the same time, Mr.. Williams
pointed out that, to his knowledge,
at least two out-of-town firms are
now interested in coming to Rock
vile and that inquiries on prospects
here had been directed to the Cham
Der. of Commerce. He said one of
the functions of revitalized
Chamber would be to care for such
inquiries and that a professional
staff would be best equipped to
engage in the necessary research.
In the two-hour discussion, a
discussion spearheaded by Ned
Stovitz, Morris Stern, Van Lip
pard, Frank Williams, William
Steinerg, and Marvin Simmons, it
was decided that the Chamber
would Immediately begin to make
plans for funds drive in the bust
ness community in order to fin
ance a professional organization.
At the same time, Frank Will
iams, called a special meeting of
the Executive Board of the group
for next Tuesday night at which
time plans for concentrated action
will be taken up.
Mr.. Williams appointed, also, G..
Lamar Kelly as one-man COM
mittee to plan an all-business din
ner meeting for commercial inter
ests here. The dinner meeting will
be held between now and Novem-
Der 10. At that time, full plans
for a plan to promote business
will be unfolded.
The meeting was adjourned 20
"a future date" at which time it
is expected the slate of officers
will be elected.

Editor
have been asked by several of
my friends to write a letter to
your paper, to tell you about my
trip to the West this summer. We
drove this time, and visited in
Oklahoma with James Maxwell, my
son-in-law's brother. The tempera-
ture was only 113 degrees = not
so comfortable. From there, we
went to the Painted Desert and Pet
rified Forest. One night we stay
ed in Gallup, New Mexico and saw
Indians galore. They were having
their annual celebration. We then
went on to the Grand Canyon. This
was glorious sight. We stayed one
night in Las Vegas, which to me
was the most brilliantly lighted
city | have ever seen.
We visited the Hoover Dam and
went to the bottom in an elevator,
a distance deeper than the Wash
ington Monument. / will confess
l was glad to come up = that was
too far down for me. We spent
one night in Reno, and the last day
drove $50 miles, seeing parts of
California, and across the, State of
Oregon. We crossed the Columbia
River on ferry, which was inter
esting, but little scary..
We reached my sons home Tues
day, August 18th, after, driving
3945 miles in ten days. My daugh-
ter and family stayed nine days
