Contract Bridge
By EosIey BIockwood

By EosIey BIockwood
On many hands it is perfectly
obvious to the defenders that a
shift in suits is called for. How
ever, the right suit to shift to is
usually not so obvious. And some
times there is an even more del
icate problem to solve-that Of
selecting the right card in the
suit.

From the sound of the bidding
in today's deal, it appeared to
Mr.. Champion that his oppo-
nents were probably stretching
when they got to three no-trump.
He correctly figured that neither
one Of them was too strong in
the majors, so he opened the
deuce Of spades.
Miss Brash finessed dummyG
ten and Mr.. Abel had no better
play than to win with the ace.
With dummy's king-jack OF
spades staring him in the face
he decided to shift to the other
major. He led the deuce of hearts.
This sad decision made it pos
sible for Miss Brash to win two
heart tricks. She ducked and
won with dummy'S jack. She now
led a diamond to her king anG
lost to the ace.
Mr.. Champion returned a
heart and Mr.. Abel won with the
ace, for his sides third trick. But
Miss Brash won the third lead
of hearts, finessed spades again
and spread the hand for 10 tricks.
Actually, there was no play for
the contract. Mr.. Abel's selection
of the deuce of hearts at trick
two cost his side two tricks. In
stead of the deuce he should have
led the queen. With this partic-
ular combination of cards, the
best shot is to lead the card
which is just higher than
dummy's highest card in the suit.
See what the lead would have
done in this case. If Miss Brash
had won with her king, Mr..
Champion would have returned
q heart through dummy's jack
after gaining the lead with his
ace of diamonds.
If Miss Brash had ducked, the
queen would have held. Then Mr..
Abel could have led the deuce OF
hearts, giving Miss Brash a trick
in the suit, but making sure that
Mr.. Champion still had a heart
to lead when he was in with his
diamond trick.
Either way, the defenders
would have won three heart
tricks and two aces to put the
hand down one.

Await Ups" Fete
Those Over Forty
Will Take 1t Easy

Cleveland, Ohio - AS the
warm, muggy days of sum-
mer descend on the city of
Cleveland, the "Zumberaks"
are forever seeking an outlet
for their unbounded energy,
a way to find more and va
ried pleasures to promote
good fellowship and social
activity.
The latest venture started
as a Lodge activity restricted
to members only. However,
other English Speaking LODI
ges inquired as to the possi-
bility of joining the "zumbe-
rak" family picnic at Geauga
Lake.
Within a short time, the
Pioneers" and the "Strivers"'
joined hands with our Lodge
to lay the basis for what is
now known as "ZPS Day." to
be celebrated this year at
Geauga Lake on Sunday, July
18th.
Now that most people at
tending fraternal affairs are
apt to look back upon their
younger days as days of top
notch achievement in sports,
or in social activity, it is ra-
ther difficult to get the
young blood stirred up in new
efforts of any consequence.
Inc saying tnat lie De-
gins at forty" certainly was
not intended to refer to any
vigorous physical work. AS a
result, the problem of add
ing a little Zip to Fps Day
became more difficult. So, the
"zumberaks" have decided to
turn the spotlight on the chill
dren of members, all the chill
dren instead of the talented
few.

our C.F.U. holds an honored
position, because it shows
that since organization more
than "a millions of dollars
were paid to members.
Where would our little
working man, the immigrant
who founded this Union, have
amassed one small portion Of
this fortune other t h a n
through his Zajednica? That
AZ million dried many a tear,
consoled many a laden heart,
and frightened many a dark
cloud.
One of the genuine mantles
of patriotism is a large mea-
sure of financial support CIV
en- to the land which we all
are so fortunate to be living
in. That support can best be
measured by the amount of
capital invested in govern
ment bonds.
We are proud to say that
your CFU has over 10 million
dollars invested in govern
ment securities.
Thus almost half of it's cap
ital is actually working for
the government under which
we lead a bounteous exist
ance. Here again your organ
ization maintains a proud po-
sition, practicing fidelity to
country while preaching and
living the tenets of true fra
ternalism.
A. Giant Among Giants
The last table of statistics
is that which lists the assets
Of 154 millionaire societies.
The combined financial might
of these institutions reaches
the astronomical figure of
close to two and a half bill
lions of dollars.
This ranges from the low
est of just over one million
to the most powerful which
boasts over one hundred and
ninety million. Your Croatian
Fraternal Union is oath on
the list with just under %
millions of dollars.
To be a member of a finan-
cial and numerical colossus is,
naturally, an honor. Even in
America, the land of financial
titans, we ere q potent eco
nomic force. 1t is a force for
good and well being. It is the
might which we as individuals
have built.
It is the giant which lives
and breathes and grows ever
stronger because it feeds on
fratenalism, b r o t h e r hood
and democracy. Yes, it is all
of us together acting in con-
cert for the welfare of all.

in the aforementioned cate
gories. Our intent was to pre-
sent convincing proof that
we, a fraternal organization
are equally sound and func'
tionally adept from the pure.
ly insurance or business
phase of our operation.
Let us now turn to another
and an equally significant
authority for an impressive
word picture of our organiza'
ton as it stands amongst its
sister fraternals. That source
or authority is the May, 1854
issue of the ''Fraternal Mon.
nor," the quasi-official organ
of the fraternal world.
The issue in question is
specially devoted to statistics
covering the entire field of
fraternal insurance. These
statistics are compiled from
the annual statements which
are submitted to the state in
surance departments, SO it
goes without saying that they
are authentic.
incidentally, each c. F. U.
Lodge Secretary has received
a copy of that issue and we
suggest that as many men,
bers as possible read it.

cleaner and fresher if they don't overload
the machine with thick, heavy suds.
This fact is well known to the men who
