Do you remember one of my
articles written about four years
ago which had OF do with
Farmers Daughter" Now, four
years is a long time to expect any
one to recall anything. I've had
another case of a similar nature
that want to tell you about-not
only because it's interesting, but
because it's true. I'll change the
names and facts a little, so don't
try to figure out just who 1t was
I'm writing about.
Mike graduated from an Ann
college, served a trick or two In
the Navy as a Sea Bee, returned
and married. Heavy equipment
was in his blood and as his child
hood had been spent on the farm
he drifted back to agriculture.
Mike found his life rather hum
man of agricultural equipment.
and decided to become sales
, drum after so much exciting life
Being a good natured, widely
Travelled guy Mike made many
| friends. His college training and
agricultural background made
him widely sought after for coun-
sci and advice. His business was
good and he prospcrcd. He was
good Joe.
A rare disease got him. He left
a wife who was 35 and two child
rem, one and three years of age.
Because Mike had been covered
under Social Security both in the
Navy and as self employed
equipment dealer, he died fully in
sured. His self employment earn
ings had been more than $4,000
a year since January ], 1851 and
bis widow and children will re-
ceive $i97 a month. This will con-
tinue until the eldest becomes III
and then $l47.80 a month for two
more years.
In all. this little family group
will receive a total of some
$50, 262.2O over a period OF IL
years. Mike didn't know II was
valuable because he had several
times told his wife to be sure not
to overlook Social Security should
he pass on.

That Is very useful informa-
ton. but partners do oyercall
frequently and therefore learn
ing how to handle such bids is
essential for a winning game.
When partner opens the bid
ding and next hand overcalls, q
bid by you is a free bid, showing
definite values. II you had bid
after a secondhand pass, that
would not have been a free bid
and might have been made on
skimpy values to give partner
another chance.
With overcalls, the situation is
Just the reverse. II your part
ner overcalls .and next hand
passes, q bid by you is q free
bid. The reason is that partner
did not ask you to bid. II he had
wanted you to bid. he would have
doubled for q takeout. So II you
enter the auction, he will justifi-
ably expect your action to have
been based on sound values In
your own hand and not on a de-
sire to find "a better spot" or to
keep the bidding open for him on
doubtful values.
When Mr.. Masters oyercalled
IN today's deal and Mrs. Fusty
passed, it was UP to Mr.. Cham
pion to decide whether or not to
take further action. He figured
1t this way. II Mr.. Masters had
opened the bidding with a spade,
the North cards would have been
little too much for q single
raise and not quite enough for
o double raise.
This is Just about the strength
required for a single raise of a
simple overcall. Discounting his
queen Of hearts because Of the
opening bid in that suit, Mr..
Champion still had enough to bid
two spades. Holding additional
values, Mr.. Masters took q shot.
at game.
Mrs. Fusty opened the deuce
Of hearts, the seven went on
from dummy. Mr.. Abel played
the Jack and the king won. with
two sure red suit losers, the lob
was to avoid losing two clubs.
At trick two Mr.. Masters led d
diamond to dummy's king and
Mr.. Abel won with the ace.
The ace of hearts was cashed
and followed by q trump lead.
MIR. Masters pulled just two
trumps. hoping that was all Mr..
Abel had. Then he cashed two
diamonds and played the ace and
q small club. Mr.. Abel was in
with the king and had only red
cards left. Any return would
enable Mr.. Masters to discard his
losing club while ruffing in
dummy.

Union County Fair
Board In Jangle
Over Secretary

Members of the Union County
Fair Board were called together
in special meeting Monday night
for the purpose of selecting sec
retary for the new year. After
red hot session which lasted sew
eral hours the meeting was ad-
journed by president Bob Lom-
bard after it was apparent that a
deadlock existed which blocked all
contemplated progress.
Two candidates were placed Oh
the ballot, one was Otto Rausch
of Darby Township who had for.
merly served in that office and
the other was Perry Spain Of
Marysville. The vote resulted in a
tie with neither side willing to
compromise.
Board members were endeavor-
ing to select a secretary to succe-
ed Luther Liggett the present sec
retary who was elected to the Of
flee of Union County Probate
Judge at the November election.
The Board will meet again in
three weeks in a desperate effort
to select a secretary but. many
are of the opinion that there will
be no compromise between the
two factions and if a secretary is
elected it will more than likely
have to be a new candidate who
has never been connected with the
operations of the fair in the past.
L was hoped by President Lon-
baro that they could select a man
for the office so that he could at
tend the State fair managers con-

 May Be Revealed

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of State Dulles said Saturday the records of number of interna- tional conferences are in the works for publication but he did not know the schedule for releas- ing them.
 Dulles returned to Washington from a two-day visit to Ottawa. Newsmen asked him at the airport whether the record of the 1945 Potsdam Big Three Conference would be published this year in line with a schedule previously reported.
 1T just don't know" Dulles said. "A lot of these things are in the works. I don't personally pay much attention. l don't know the stage of development. The histor- ians are in charge of that"
 The Foreign Office in London said Saturday 1t has told the Uni ted States that Great Britain op- poses publication of the Potsdam record.
 Asked about previous reports that Britain had sent an objection, Dulles said he know of none but noted he had been away from Washington since Thursday morn ing.
 Sen. Knowland R-Calif) said earlier Saturday he will press for publication within year of off cial reports on both the Tehran and Potsdam Conferences.
 Dulles talked about American Canadian cooperation and conti- mental defense while in Ottawa. He said no decisions were reached and added: "I did not go there to negotiate" Actually, his trip was more Of a goodwill visit with Canadian officials.

TOO CONVENIENT

Dorothy Thompson recently discussed the closed shop and the union shop She wrote Tt is extremely convenient for union leaders if every worker is pelled to join a union to get hold job It is convenient for many employers to have closed shop, and bargain collectively without possibility of minority dissent.
 The trouble is that it is too convenient. It reduces the workers status than ever, to that of modity to be bought and sold bloc It reduces the possibility of creating genuinely free and demo- cratic industrial system. It freezes and creates a monopoly of the status quo"
 Seventeen states have adopted rght-to-work laws, under which workers join not join labor organ- zation they choose, without fear of reprisal by either employers unions There is funda- mental or important right.
