To put it in the exaggerated
language of those pressed for
time in departing on vacation,
there are a last minute "thou-
sand things to do"
After tickets and reservation
letters are in hand and the
itinerary in mind, it is never
quite that bad. But there are
more than a dozen small and
time e-consuming chores to check
off, whether the family goes to
Europe or to the beach for a
couple of weeks.
Some Of the essential precau-
tions are obvious, such as locking
the front door. But did you get
the attic window? And turn off
the stove? For sure? Even Won
dering about such things can
raise a small but persistent cloud
that hovers over what should be
the most care-free period of the
summer. A perfect departure
routine can go a long way to-
ward guaranteeing full vacation
enjoyment.
One Thing Neglected
The experience of an Alexan-
dria family last summer even
argues strongly for. such an un-
obvious thing as closing the
damper in the chimney.
They departed with the pleas
ant knowledge that their me-
thodical preparations had taken
care of everything. They had
twisted the faucets tight, stopped
milk deliveries and carried
through on numerous task on
the accepted list of what to do
when you go away.
They returned to find pictures
broken on the floor, a bottle of
ink spilled on a rug, nut shells

Facts OF State

per cent. During 1853 as compared
with 1852. North Cardinals in
crease of 4.42 per cent was consid-
erably below the National average
of 5.66 per cent.
There were four states which
had a decrease in total income
payments during 1858 as compar-
ed with 1852: Iowa, Idaho, Kansas
and Nebraska. There were seven
states which had decreases in per
capita income, as distinguished
from total income, during 1853 as
compared with 1852: Arkansas.
Arizona Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Ne
braska, and Nevada. The reason
why Arkansas, Arizona and Neva-
ola decreased in per capita while
increasing in total income. of
course. is that population increased
faster than income.
Total income payments TO North
Carolina people during 1853 a.
mounted TO S4,559 million, which
was an increase of 4.42 per cent
over 1852 when the total was
S4,404 million. The 1853 total for
the United States was S27O,577

Nowadays the pronunciation
"rassling" is considered dialectal;

correct form for about 800 years.
Be sure to rhyme wrestle with

In best usage catcher and
catch are pronounced to rhyme

The correct defense against
many contracts is far from obvi-
Ious. Often a contract can be
defeated only by the lead Of a
specific card at a specific time.
The unfortunate player who does
not happen to hit upon this kill
ing lead Is usually subject to
sharp criticism from across the

This is not always an equitable
arrangement. Often the unfor-
tunate one is guilty only in what
you might call physical sense.
That is. it is he alone who is
in a position to place the thumb
and fingers of one hand on a
certain card. withdraw it from
the other cards and lay it face up
on the table.
But I have observed that on
many occasions it is his partner
who is the real culprit. He sits
there spouting criticism in a
pompous, self-righteous manner,
completely overlooking the fact
that with no trouble at all he
could have guided the defense
into the right channel.
In today's deal it appeared to
Mrs. Keen that the best defense
against five spades was to lead
her lone heart and try to win
trick later with her small trump.
She planned to win the first lead
Of trumpS, put Mr.. Masters In
with the ace of clubs and ruff
q heart return.
Dummy's ace Of hearts won
the first trick. And now it was
time for Mr.. Masters to think.
His side had bid diamonds and
clubs and yet Mrs. Keen had
chosen to open heart. The
only possible reason for this was
that the deuce of hearts was a
singleton.
Mr.. Masters realized what his
partners plan of defense was
and he also realized with horror
that she would undoubtedly try
to put him in with the ace of
clubs-which he didn't have. He
had never helped diamonds and
there was no reason for her to
think he had the ace of that
suit. How could he tell her to
lead a diamond?
He did the best he could by
playing the 10 of hearts on the
first trick. Obviously this was
an unnecessarily high card and
Mrs. Keen read it as a suit
preference signal asking for the
lead of the higher of the other
two plain suits.
Mr.. Champion led trump to
his queen at trick two and Mrs.
Keen won and returned a dia-
mond. Mr.. Masters won and led
back a heart which Mrs. Keen
trumped. She then caShed the
king Of diamonds for the second
undertrick. Note that If she had
led a club at trick three Mr..
Champion could have made six
odd. discarding both of dummy's
diamonds on his long hearts.

But here the prisoners can

do it."

The 10 guards, who work on
'round-the- o'clock" shifts, have
comfortable quarters in a
small brick house near the
main building. They can be
summoned by a bell connected
with a room outside the CELL
block.
Although the prisoners have
many advantages they never
had before, they are not cod

hard days working on the

Of a highway department fore
man and under the watchful
eyes Of guards.
Four solitary confinement
cells. adjoining the mess hall,
belle any idea of softness in
the modern setup. Here a
prisoner may spend up to 10
days or more for breaking
rules. During that time, he
sees no one, has no reading
material, and lives on bread
and water with regular meals
only every third day.
Prison authorities believe
the new permanent camps. in
addition to providing more
sanitary and therefore health
full quarters, will lead to fewer
escapes. They point out that
the convicts living in the tenn
porary camps often revolt
against the conditions there
and walk off. They have little
to complain about now at the
new Camp 80.
