His holding was OF the no.
trump type, although if his part
ner showed a marked preference
for spades. he could offer a mag
nificent dummy for a spade con-
tract. He didn't have enough to
jump to six no-trump and three
no-trump would have been an
under-bid.
He didn't fancy a jump take
out on this particular distribu-
ton and finally decided to make
y series Of one-round forces,
ending up by showing spade
support.
OF course, as far as Mrs. Keen
knew, the two diamond and
three club bids showed real
suits. However. when Mr.. Dale
finally got around to showing
spade support, those minor suit
bids took on another meaning.
It now appeared that they
might well be cue bids, showing
first round controls.
In any event, Mr.. Dale had
bid very strongly and, to check
on the ace situation, Mrs. Keen
Nid four no-trump. Mr.. Dale
properly bid five spades. show
ing all three of his aces-the
correct technique when the cue
bids are made before the trump
ut is established.
Against the final contract of
six spades. Mr.. Abel led the
king of hearts. Dummy's ace
won and Mrs. Keen saw that If
the black suits broke favorably
she would make a grand slam.
This dream was shattered when
she cashed the ace of spades,
then led small spade to dunn
my'S queen. On the second
spade lead Mr.. Abel discarded
q small diamond.
Now there was a sure spade
loser and a possible loser
In clubs Mrs. Keen sNlved her
problem neatly. She abandoned
'trumps for. the moment, cashed
the ace of clubs. and led a
small club toward her hand.
If Mr.. Champion had trumped
here, Mrs. Keen would have
simply played her ten OF clubs
In effect getting rid of q loser
on q trump which she had to
lose anyway. $50
Instead of trumping, Mr..
Champion discarded a diamond.
Mrs. Keen won with the queen
of clubs. returned to dummy
with a high diamond and led a
third club. Mr.. Champion dis
carded again and the king of
clubs won.
Now the ten of clubs was led
and trumped with the six of
spades. Mr. Champion over
trumped with the ten and re-
turned afheart. But Mrs. Keen
trumped, picked up the last OUT
standing spade and spread the
hand.

Lutes Boosts
Industry for
Wheaton Area
All Homes, No Biz
Makes Jack Go,
Chamber is Told

Fred L. Lutes, President of the
Suburban Trust Company, was
guest speaker at the regular
meeting of the Wheaton Cham
Der of Commerce held at Town
and Country inn last week.
Com m unity Sell Reliance"
was the topic assigned to Lutes
for his talk, but he pointed out
to the group that such a form of
living is more a part of the past
than of the present day.
A Montgomery Countian for
many years, he reminded his aud
fence that in the days of 1915 a
community was much more self
reliant than today. Then, home,
owners stocked their heating and
cooking stoves with wood sawed
on the farm, canned the vegeta-
bles from the garden; cured, for
a large part, their own meats;
got milk and butter from their

own cows; and made most of
their clothing.
Today-for example-milk and
vegetables frequently come in
cans, clothing is manufactured
out of the State, meats are cured
in distant States, and community
self-reliance as very nearly non
existent.
Needs Business
One of LuteS' main points was
the fact, however, thaet a COM
munity such as Wheaton, can OBJ
tain more self-reliance if it en-
courages diversified businesses
and light manufacturing which
will employ the youth of the com.
munity. He acknowledged that
variety of retail businesses are
needed in a community but they
can use only a small portion of
the employment potential that
the Wheaton area has, he said.
Larger business concerns and
light manufacturing would, in
turn, enlarge the retail market
so that more of the smaller va
riety of businesses would be need
ed.
Wheaton has many advantages,
according to Lutes. 1t is near the
seat of County government; has
a fine system of highways plan
ned for its area; and has fine
educational facilities for it's chill
dren. However, he said, "the en-
tire area is lacking in construct
i've or creative jobs for young
people,"
In addition to the present
"acres" of homes in the area, Mr..
Lutes reminded the group that
more will be built following the
construction of the Arcola Sew
er line (Sligo Creek trunk exten.
sion).

Football prospects look bright
for the first year of play at the

playing, but Mr.. Mason feels
that the Wheaton high school
squad should be one of the best
in the County.
Head coach for Wheaton High
will be Lou Chacos, former Uni
versity of Maryland star end un,
der Coach ShaughneSsy. Coach
Chacos was born in Richmond,
Va, educated the Washington
where he was graduated from
Central high graduated from the
University of Maryland, and re-
ceived his masters degree from
Columbia university. He was di-
rector of athletics and football
coach at Charlotte Hall academy,
and later head coach for football
at Roosevelt high.
The story goes, that Roosevelt's
football team had been the joke
of District high school athletics
for half a century until Coach
Chacos took over at which time
he popped up the Roosevelt teams
and made championship or run
ner-up teams out of the boys.
Coach Chacos lives in Bethesda
and has two children, Don, 6, and
Andrew, ID months. His spare
time" is spent as swimming in,
structor at the Kenwood club in
Bethesda.
Assisting Coach Chacos will be
Frank Appachilla and Harry
Martin, as line and backfield
coaches.
Mr.. Appachilla is former var
sity football and baseball coach
at Mount st. Mary's College at
Emittsburg, and Mr.. Martin has
had an outstanding coaching re-
cord with the Marine corps. He
will be separated from the Mar
ines in August in time to start
practice with the Wheaton high
boys on August 25.
While talking to Mr. Mason, he
said that for basketball, he has

of now, he went on. An indication
of Wheaton's growth, as stated
by Lutes, is that since the open
ing of the Suburban Trust COM
panys branch office in Wheaton
in December, 1913, deposits have
gone up 25 percent each year
since then.
