In today's deal Mr.. Abel got
into a reasonable and apparently

It looks like he has to lose only

And that's all he did lose. But
he would have lost one more trick
If Mr.. Muzzy had not been lulled
by the siren of safety.
Mr.. Dale opened the king of
diamonds and continued with the
ace when his partner flashed the
eight spot. Mr.. Abel ruffed the
second lead and led the queen of

Muzzy won with the king.
He returned the queen Of hearts
and Mr.. Abel won and promptly
ran OF to tricks. A diamond re-
turn would have ruined Mr.. Abel's
chances. And the lead stands out.
It was exertmely unlikely that
Mr.. Dale had the ace Of hearts.
He had already shown the ace,
king, jack Of diamonds and with
the ace Of hearts added he prob
ably would have entered the bid
ding.
Also, Mr.. Abel needed the ace
Of hearts for his jump rebid.
There was no long suit in dummy
on which Mr.. Abel could throw
heart losers from his hand. In

The most reasonable hope was
that Mr.. Rale had four trumps.
That would give Mrh Abel five.
He had been shortened once and
another diamond would get him
down to three spades. Then Mr..
Dale would eventually win a
trump trick to defeat the contract.

people who had come from afar,
to visit old friends and relatives
ON the occasion. of meeting
week" The big revival was not
held until the crop was laid by,
and men had little to do. We can
recall the good old sisters, who
approached with mighty fervor
those whom they earnestly
thought should join the church,
and they prevailed with all the
vigor of a politician seeking votes
in a tight race. 1t was interesting
too to see the preacher baptise
the converts, and no doubt many
a small boy wondered how the
preachers words, and submerg-
ing of the candidate in salt water
wiped away all trace of the wick
ed deeds so remorsefully con-
fessed.
Summer was time of visiting,
and ones parents were more len
lent with him when visitors came
to the house, the time of all
adults must be spent in joyous
visiting and reminiscing; the eX-
changing of news, etc. Young
fellows often stood with mouth
agape, and listened and marvel
ed at the vast new knowledge
thus acquired.
The end of summer brought
school days, and memory brings
those warm fall schooldays back
sharply before us. The droning
of voices, the heat, and the long
wait for recess, or for closing
time when one might be off to
find grapes and nuts. A fellow
then began to think about gett-
ing his traps ready to catch furs
a little later on, whereby some
money might be acquired before
Christmas, which then didn't
seem to arrive too fast. In those
days we were largely on the re-
ceiving end, and Christmas came
too slowly, but now that we are
looked to by others, rolls around
on ball bearings.
l think the profoundest men,
cries came from the visits of dis
tant relatives who lived far away,
but whom I saw the first time on
summer visits. l had heard my
parents speak often of these peo-
pie. Their words and their man
ners, and their long recital of
foreign things meant lot to me-
Maybe l didn't do a lot of
things this summer that i meant
to do, but I haven't missed a
thing. Children and grandchild-
rem enable one to relive the past
with equal thrills and joy as
those of half century ago. One
need not miss anything at all if
he can lean back, and without
closing his eyes even, press the
button of memory, and have roll
ed before him in memory all the
golden, magic things of the
matchless days of boyhood.

was appalled, on taking over the
Post Office Department to find
no rhyme or reason in the de-

There was no personnel Office

CHANGES-Mr. Summerf1eld
lost no time in moving to correct
the situation. Other improve
ments will be made in the
months ahead.
First, a Bureau of Personnel
has been established. This unit
will concern itself with personnel
problems and employe relations.
Secondly, for the first time in
history, rank-and-file postal
workers will have a chance to
compete in merit exams for
promotions to supervisory jobs.
Third, closer labor-manage-
ment relationships have been es-
tablished, in which leaders of
the various postal employe
unions are consulted on every
phase of personnel matters.
Mr.. Summerfield has also
ordered a study made of the

postal pay system. Out Of this
can be expected a recommended
ton to Congress to overhaul its
outmoded pay classification sys-
tenn.
he Postmaster General says
various inequities in pay now
exist among postal workers. And
he also feels that the present
pay system is too rigid and not
nearly adaptable enough to take
care of the various postal duties
and responsibilities.

department and agency heads in
Washington may take a rather
jaundiced view of their employees,

II want to help postal en-

them we are helping the postal
service and the public. Many of
them were here before / came
and they'll be here when I'm

Mr.. Summerfield also remarked
that he has surrounded himself
with people who love people,"
You can't have good man

if the people at the top don't
like dealing with people," Mr..
Summerfield said. "Take a look
around Washington and see what
I mean. The people having the

Bede|I Smith Sees
Peace When Russia
Suits Action 10 Words
By Gornett D. Horner

Undersecretary of State Walter
Bedell Smith said today that
the world can have peace "as
soon as the Soviet Union suits
it's actions to it's words" but
warned that there is nothing
trustworthy so far in Russian
peace gestures.
Gen. Smith emphasized that
the United States is ready to
negotiate on "all matters per-
tanning to peace" in a major
address before the First Friday
Club in Detroit. The text of
his speech was made available
by the State Department here.
He accused the Soviet of STALL
ing on efforts to solve such basic
world problems as the future of
Germany, Austria and Korea, as
we'll as on disarmament pro-
posals.
Hits Soviet Reply.
Gen. Smith described the latest
Soviet reply to Western proposals
for a Big Four conference on
Germany and Austria as mas
terpiece of confusion and cam
outage" attempting to mask a
negative attitude" toward ef-
forts to move toward peace by
solving those problems.
While the Russians shared re-
sponsibility for the armistice in
Korea, he declared. they are
now doing everything they can
to obstruct the convening of a
political conference by which we
hope to transform the armistice
into a peace for the peninsula"
Gen. Smith recalled President
Eisenhower's foreign policy dec
laration last April, promising to
work concurrently toward arms
reduction as areas of suspicion.
distrust and friction" in the
world are eliminated.
Still Waiting for Deeds.
Gen. Smith said the United
States still is waiting for con-
crete deeds by the Communist
leaders.
He noted that Stalin'S sue
cessors in Moscow "have made
much of their peaceful inten-
tions" since the death of Stain,
but that There is nothing about
them in which an intelligent and
even moderately cautious indi-
vidual could put his trust. And
there is nothing on which a
responsible government could
base it's policies"
On Korean and other specific
problems, Gen. Smith said the
United States is "willings to be
reasonable" But he empha-
sized that it should be clear that
peace depends on Soviet will
ingness ito be equally reason
able"
I'm matters of disarmament,
of Far Eastern tension, of con-
troversy in Europe-in all mat
ters pertaining to peace we will
negotiate" Gen. Smith declared.
I'VE will not refuse to consider
any reasonable compromise.
Peace we must have-and can
have as soon as the Soviet Union
suits it's actions to it's words"
