Fumous Fables
By E. {. Edqor

TRANSFER-Early in his
career, theatrical producer
Daniel Frohman was an ad-
vance man for a minstrel
show. When the troupe was
touring the West, he was in
structed to book the show in
southern Colorado.
Aware that local condi-
tions in that area would
cause the troupe to lose
money, Frohman wired the
manager in New York, Sug-.
costing another route. The
manager testify wired back
that he expected his orders
to be obeyed.
Frohman ignored the mes
sage, and re-routed the COM
pany through the northern
part of the State. His judg-
ment was vindicated by the
handsome box-office re-
ceipts.
He was in for a shock
when he returned to New
York. The manager sum-
moned him to his Office and
bluntly informed him that
he was finished.
Frohman was stunned.
Surely you can't mean
that" he protested.
II certainly do." said the
other. When I have a man
in my organization who
knows more than I do, I
want him right here near
me. That's where you'll be
from now on"

Mr.. Dale was not expected to
pass that bid. 1t was unlikely
that he would be able to raise
spades and Mr.. Masters knew
that. But he now had a chance
and an obligation to clarity his
first bid. That is, was his single
heart raise of the courtesy vari-
ETY. or was it a maximum?
He properly considered it a
maximum and jumped to four
hearts. In this particular case,
If he had bid only three hearts
Mr.. Masters would have passed.
Mr.. Champion led the queen
of diamonds and Mr.. Masters
looked the situation over. Out
side of the trump suit he had
four tricks in high cards. One
more trick might be developed
in either spades or diamonds if
either suit broke evenly, but the
odds were against such a di-
vision.
To try to get two ruffs in
dummy would involve giving up
the lead three times-once in
spades and twice in diamonds.
Presumably, this would give the
enemy three opportunities to
lead trumps, and obviously that
would be fatal to the plan of
getting as many as six tricks out
of the heart suit.
Mr.. Masters promptly saw that
his best bet was to ruff twice in
his own hand. He cashed the
ace and king of hearts and was
not bothered by the fact that
Mrs. Keen showed out on the
second heart.
He led to the ace of clubs, re-
turned a club and ruffed with
the six of hearts. Next he cashed
the king and ace of spades, led
dummy's last club and ruffed it.
That made eight tricks and the
good jack and ten of hearts in
dummy made the game certain.
This device of using your own
trumps to ruff with, and
dummy's to pull the opposing
trumpS. is known as reversing
the dummy. To recognize the
need for it requires only enough
imagination to place" yourself
across the table and look at the
hand from that angle.

Hospital Patients
 To Share Holiday Meal with Guests

Thanksgiving Day in the Val ley Presbyterian Hospital will be much cheerier than the patients had thought, thanks to Valley Hospital Board members who this week extended invitations to one person, per patient, where con- venient, to share the hospital Thanksgiving dinner. Those who will be accepting the invitation are asked to register with the rurse on duty by Wednesday eve- ming.
 The menu planned by Fritz Lowe, hospital chef, leaves little doubt but what the holiday will be more than enjoyable by the patients and their guests. Each patient will be permitted one guest, with no charge for the din- ner. Additional guests may be ar ranged for at the hospital but a normal fee will be charged for extra dinners.
 Leading the menu is the tradi- tional Thanksgiving turkey, roast ed to a golden brown. Along with this will be chilled tomato juice, pickles and olives, brown rice, cranberry sauce, dressing, giblet gravy, snowflake potatoes, can died sweet potatoes, Waldorf salad, buttered squash, Parker House rolls, mince and pumpkin pie with cream, fruit cake, mixed nuts and mints.
 Most tempting, isn't it? Mem bers of the Hospital staff will also partake of the sumptious meal and will be permitted to invite guests.

Power CurtaiImeni Urgent Nov. 26 for Ek!utna SWitch-Over

The long-awaited operation of the Eklutna project is nearing completion, according to Cy Brewer, Matanuska Electric As sociation general manager.
 On Friday, November 26, be- ginning at 7:30 am. and lasting until 400 pm. in the afternoon, members of the MEA crew will be transferring to it's original supply lines to permit the even- tual switch over the new line.
 "On Friday we will be short of power due to our limited line capacity" Brewer stated. An other reason is that the City of Anchorage has consented to at tempt to carry our load, even though it is still short one gen. orator and lacks facilities for con- nection with the Chugach Elec- tric Association steam plant, he added.
 Our usage for inc one day must be restricted to the essen tials," Brewer cautioned. We re- quest that all electric signs be turned off. and all other use cur tailed as much as possible dur ing these hours. Brewer warned that the voltage will be low dur ing this period and that refrigera- tors. deep freezers and other mo tor driven equipment should be carefully watched to avoid burn outs.
 We hope this will be the last time we need to call upon the. people of the Valley" Brewer said, "since the fine new Eklut- na project will be rolling Friday night. ,
 Original plans called for a two- day operation but MEA has suc- ceeded in making 1t possible to make the change over in one day.

School Head Attends Commission meeting

William T. Zahradnicek, super intendent of schools, returned to Palmer Saturday from Juneau where he attended the School Superintendents' Advisory Com mission meeting. School leaders from all over the territory were present
 The full program included re- ports on legislative work, teach CTS retirement, transportation, sources of school support, territor- ial board requirements, and the Alaska Constitution committee.
 Additional sources of school support revenue reports includ- ed 1853 assignments or the sta tus of school land. The report showed that because so little of the Territory has been surveyed the school lands have not pro- duced the finances that might be expected or in comparison to what has been produced by school lands in the States
 The possibility of increasing the revenues was offered by the com mittee who suggested serious consideration on the part of the Superintendent's Advisory Com mission to recommending 1egisla- lively that certain royalties be specifically earmarked for school purposes in order that a founda- ton may be laid for enhancing income in the event that certain present explorations should ulti- mately produce large amounts of natural resources.
 They also recommended con- tinuous checking with Forest Ser vice Officials as to practices and accounting on the Forest Reserve funds.
