aptly called the GRAY SICKNESS.
Not only because its victims have
lost their once healthy color. but also
because life itself has become gray
and drab for them. For you simply
can't enjoy work or play when you
have to drag through day after
weary day feeling tired. weak and
listless. And sleep doesn't seem to
refresh you for you wake up tired.
The GRAY SICKNESS means your

Including the ace (but not the
king), lead the ace.
With any other combination of

but a holding of four or more
spades, lead the fourth highest.
With the king or queen or jack
accompanied by two small cards,
lead the lowest card. With three

top one.
Applying this knowledge to the
problem at hand, Mr.. Dale knew
his partner was leading the top
card of a short spade holding.
Therefore Mrs. Keen had to have
at least two spades. There was
no danger at all that she held a
singleton king.
So he played the eight and the
king won. However, there was no
way for Mrs. Keen to avoid the
loss of a spade, two diamonds
and the ace of hearts.
If Mr.. Dale had won the first
trick, Mrs. Keen would have been
able to get rid of one of her dia-

You may say Mr.. Dale's play

Dear Sir:
The name and the professional
high standards of your publica-
ton are very well known and
appreciated in Israel. So, I take
the liberty of sending you the en-
closed article and request that it
be published in your Passover
issue. This article is tribute to
one of your leading citizens.
Respectfully yours,

From: Joseph Glasberg
the village of Kfar Barurh
Israel
Between the vast conglomeration
of states forming together Amer
lea, there is a territory on which
mother nature has poured all her
blessings. It is Florida, land of
oranges and palms. It's climate is
nice and refreshing, and its peo-
pie, living between a sunny, blue
sky above and a fertile earth
below, are kind and good-natlured.
But even among these warm
hearted folks, there is a man
whose position is unique and
whose actions are so inspiring,
that he must be cited as one of
the greatest sons of Florida. His
name is Louis E. Wolfson of Jack
sonville.
The contributions of Mr.. Wolf
son to the local welfare funds and
to the campaigns for Israel are
presumably well known to his
friends and fellow citizens. What
is perhaps not known, is the fact
that he helps directly and person
ally those people who are entitled
to help. Without enclosing himself
in the ivory tower of the few and
chosen, although his prestige arc
social standing are high-ranking,
Mr.. Wolfson has a broad and
sympathetic understanding for
those who appeal to him. And it
lis not only the contributions
which count. Behind the money
there is the warmth of noble
sentiment of help, there is the
magic of a kind word from a
great man.
His father who was blessed
with the peace of eternal rest had
done much for the needy, and the
son is following this great and
luminous task.
Mr.. Wolfson is more than a
man; he is a symbol. He symbol

U. S. Jews who, while remaining
proud and loyal Americans, have
assisted us in every way and on
every occasion. Let us hope that
this admirable spirit of national
solidarity will be developed and
increased, and that the American
Jews will continue to use their
enormous prestige and influence
for the improvement of our posi-
ton, both materially and morally.
Generations change; beliefs and
ideals change too. What does not
change and never will, is mans
hope that his brother man will
help him toward brighter future
and a better understanding. By
doing so, by assisting those who
need it, Louis E. Wolfson renews
their confidence and brings them
to a happier life and to the full
fillment of their most cherished
