We have clear knowledge of
only a small part of the material
in the earth. The distance from
the top of the tallest mountain
to the greatest ocean depth
amounts to about IL miles.
We have few samples of rock
material in deep parts of the
ocean floor, and the men who
climbed to the top of Mount
Everest failed to bring back a
load of rock samples!
Nevertheless fine work has
been done by biologists in learn
ing about the rocks and metals in
the earth's crust. They have
studied and tested hundreds of
thousands OF samples.
One of the main rocks in the
crust is granite. This long-lasting
material is believed to serve as a
base under the continents. 1t
also makes up layers in some
upper parts Of the crust.

continues to increase all the way

The material below the crust
could be dense and rigid without
being solid. In some parts Of the
earth, close to the surface, there
is hot rock under heavy pressure,
and this comes out of volcanoes
at times in the form of the heavy
liquid known as lava.

Contract Bridge
By EosIey BIockwood

by GoSIey oIoCkWooo
Mr.. Dale decided not to accept
Mr.. Muzzy's sacrifice bid of four
spades. He felt sure he could
beat that contract but he
thought there was a good chance
to make IL tricks at hearts.

The bidding:
South West North East
heart 2 clubs hearts 2 spades
4 hearts Pass Pass 4spades
5 hearts All pass
AS you see, he couldn't make
five hearts as the defenders could
win three tricks with the ace of
spades, a spade ruff by Mr..
Champion and the ace of hearts.
But the defense didn't go that
way. Mr.. Champion led his lone
spade and Mr.. Muzzy won with
the ace. With no hesitation at
all. Mr.. Dale dropped the king.
After the trick had been turned
over. Mr.. Muzzy faced the cards
again. Laboriously, he figured
out the card missing was the
deuce. If Mr.. Champion had
started with the four and deuce,
he would have led the four just
as he did. And, as far as Mr..
Dale's play was concerned, surely
nobody in his right mind would
play a king unnecessarily. There
was also the point if Mr.. Muzzy
played the queen of spades at
trick two and Mr.. Dale ruffed,
the jack of spades in dummy
would be good for a discard from
the closed hand.
So Mr.. Muzzy returned club
and Mr.. Dale calmly got rid OF
his deuce of spades on dummy's
ace. He lost only one more trick
"a trick to the ace of trumpS.
Careful counting and thinking
on Mr.. Muzzy's part would have
avoided this gruesome result. 1t
is natural not to want to set up
a good card in dummy. In this
particular deal, however. it was
almost impossible that discard
on dummy's jack of spades would
have done Mr.. Dale any good.
Mr.. Champions club overcall
marked him with at least five
cards in that suit SO Mr.. Dale
had one club at the most. And
if he had one, it was covered by
dummy'S ace.
And, assuming Mr. Dale had
only one spade and one club, it
was extremely unlikely he had
less than four diamonds. So it
was very remote diamond dis
card from the closed hand would
be helpful.
On this reasoning it should
have appeared to Mr.. Muzzy his
only hope was to find his partner
with a singleton spade.

HEROIC FATHER
BROWNS after
RESCU|NC SON

An heroic father who suffered
a cramp while rescuing his 10
year-old son was drowned in San
dusky Bay shortly after 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, but the son
held on to an inner tube and was
saved. 1t was the fourth drown
ing of the summer in this county.
Victim of the tragedy was Rob-
ert w. Furman, 38, of 2271 Cas-
tlewood Avenue, Toledo, who was
on a misunderstanding outing with
two sons, Billy, 10, and Lynn, 8,
at Wilson's Place near Johnson's
Island.
F'urman and the younger son,
Lynn, were in a rowbOat while
Billy was swimming in the bay,
with the aide of an inflated inner
tube. When the boy slipped from
the inner tube and started to
sink, he shouted to his father for
help.
Furman, a former life guard,
went to his sons rescue and was
able to push the boy close enough
to grab the inner tube before he
was attacked by cramps and sank.
AS there was only one oar in the
boat. the eight-year-old son, Lynn,
could not go to his fathers aid.
Another fisherman, Arnold
Leidergerber, 8O4 Lodge Street,
Toledo, noticed the boys alone in
the boat and learned of the
drowning. He towed the boats and
the boys to shore and notified au-
thoritieS.
Deputy Sheriff William Cullen
investigated and helped search the
bay. Mr.. Furman's body was re-
covered from eight feet of water
shortly before six that afternoon
by Marblehead Coastguardsmen
Coroner r. R. Semon returned q
verdict of accidental death.
Furman is survived by his wife
Asia; three sons, William, Lynn
and Donald, two years old; one
daughter, Roberta, five months
and a sister, Miss Jean Furman

five ESCAPE AS
YACHT SINKS
DURING STORM

Four Genoans and guest mar.
rowly escaped drowning in Lake
Erie late Thursday afternoon
when a sudden windstorm off Mid
die Bass Island smashed their 49,
foot cabin cruiser into a reeI and
threw the fishing party into the
water. The five men chung to the
wreckage for nearly two hours
until rescued.
In the group were Nelson Pur-
tee, owner of the boat; DR.. Will
liam Russell, William Stephens
and Robert Neihaus, all of Genoa,
and Paul Mykytiuk, South Hadley
Falls, Mass.
Purtee said they had been fish
ing about four hours when the
storm struck and visibility was
nil. When the cabin cruiser hit
the reef, the bottom was torn out
and the ship sank in about is
fact of water with just the nose
sucking out above the waves.
Purtee said the men kept jok-
ing with each other to hold on to
the boat because "once we let 60
we were finished"
After floundering in the wind
lashed water for nearly two hours.
the men were rescued by Earl
Ensrath, Detroit. and his fishing
party, aboard a cruiser from Pc
lee Island which had ridden out
the storm and was headed for
Put-in-Bay when the Genoans were
sighted.
Except for soreness from cling
ing to the boat, none of the five
fishermen was injured, Mr.. Purtee
said. The men were taken to Put.
Inlay and later returned to the
mainland. Purtee said his boat
was valued at about $4,000 and
that he hoped it could be sal
vaged.
