Take Ny Word for 1t 8, f'e"4 Cob,

Teachers among my readers tell
me that they find my occasional
articles on "loony logics" to be Of
real value in the classroom. "The
horrible examples which you find
in newspapers, magazines and
other publications. not only amuse
my English students, they also
place emphasis on the necessity for
clarity of expression" writes one.
like her term, clarity of ex-
preston; for clarity is the very
essence of good writing. The OPP
posite is murkiness, wrong use OF
words, dangling modif1ers, or mod
ifiers which are attached to the
wrong word.
For example, look at this sem
tence taken from q magazine
story: Fishing that day in the
little mountain stream, the trout
were striking our lures even in
mid -day." OF course we know, by
some sixth sense. that it was not
the trout that were fishing. but
that's not the way the author
pl1rased 1t. Better: Fishing that

Cass0waries.


Be sure and visit the cassowaries,
the third largest birds in the world,
in your zoo. They are primitive
and incapable Of fight, but they
are "all-bird" and they are full of
surprises.
The cassowary is primarily q
resident of Souths Pacific Islands
where 1t is represented by 80 diff
ferent forms. It is also found from
Ceram in the west to New Britain
in the east and south to Queens
land in northern Australia. It
reaches its peak of diversity in
New Guinea.

presence of or lack of wattles. A

The bidding:

diamond Pass j.. spade Pass
2 hearts Pass 3 diam'dS Pass
5 diamonds Double All Pass
If you want to be a winner in
the long run, you should also con-
slider what you have to gain by
the double and weigh that against
what you stand to lose if some-
thing goes wrong and declarer
wraps up his contract.
There are other important
angles. For example, the answer
to this question: Will my double
tell declarer how to play the hand?
And then there's always the HUI
manics angle.
Are the people you are playing
against expert bidders and filS;t-
rate dummy players? If the answer
to this last question is "yes," it's
not a bad idea to lay off doubling
until you're certain" of at least
a two-trick set. That gives you a
little leeway.
In today's deal Mr.. Muzzy
doubled the five-diamond bid and
opened the ace of spades, which
won. He led another spade and
dumny's king won, Mr.. Champion
discarding a small heart.
Now, without the double, Mr..
Champion undoubtedly would have
planned to take two illnesses
against the two outstanding dia-
mond honors. But since the double
indicated that both honors were

discarding a heart and spade
from dummy. Next he played the
king and ace Of hearts and ruffed
his last heart on the board. He
then pulled the last spade out
and ruffed it.
With everybody down to three
cards, he now led the jack Of dia-
monds. Mr.. Muzzy won with the
queen and had to return a dia-
mond away from his king into Mr..
Champions ace-ten.
Even granting the double point |
that Mr.. Muzzy had the cards for
his double. his decision was faulty
in all the other respects named
above. He stood to gain only so
points by the double, whereas his |
loss was many times that. In addi-
ton, he told" Mr. Champion how
to play the hand.

MONEY MAKES CIGARETTE

PAWNEE CITY, Neb.-(P)-
Lloyd DOvel, back home after two
years as a prisoner of war in KO-

a $40 bill for cigarette paper to

The prisoners were getting
"sweepings" with which to make
their own cigarettes and had to use
any kind of paper available, DOvel
said.
The $40 bill was suitable because
money had no value in the prison
camps, he explained. Later, the

for smoking.

Mr.. Green estimated that there
will be a need for educational
facilities for $50 additional children
by next June 80 when, it is figured,
go per cent of the service personnel
will have arrived at the Air Base.
We're already pinched," said the
district superintendent. During the
last month we had 35 additional
youngsters come into the school
district" These additional pupils
were unexpected and, as a result,
the additional teachers, textbooks
and other facilities requiring more
funds are not available.
While awaiting word from the
federal agencies, the local districts
must 90 ahead with their plans
without depending upon the fed
eral funds. They cannot afford the
delay while awaiting word from
Washington.
However, should the federal funds
be forthcoming, the money could be
used to pay off the bonded indebted"
ness incurred by the district.

Base is on the fringe of the Caesar

Another problem confronting tn
local districts is that they will sufe
