He inquired MS own nano WOULD
contribute five more to the cause
-four in hearts and one In
clubs. After checking to make
reasonably sure the opponents
could not win the first two
tricks, he bid six hearts.
BY a simple process Of bad
play he failed to make it.
The jack of spades was led
and dummy's queen won. With
no losers anywhere but in clubs.
it appeared to Mr.. Abel that all
he had to do was to ruff two
clubs in dummy.
At trick two he led a club
from the board and ducked 1t.
Mrs. Keen won with the king
and returned a trump.
This was won in the closed
hand with the queen. The ace
of clubs was cashed and a club
ruffed in dummy, Mrs. Keen
discarding a spade.
Now Mr.. Abel came back to
his hand with trump. led his
last club and ruffed 1t. Mrs.
Keen dropped another spade.
The next thing to do was to
pick up the two outstanding
trumps. MIR. Abel had the cards
to do this but unfortunately the
lead was on the board.
The only way to get back to
the closed hand was to ruff a
third round of diamonds and
that would leave Mrs. Keen
with two trumps to Mr.. Abel's
one.
There were several winning
lines of play but the best per-
centage lay in a dummy reversal
using the South hand for rufing
and dummy's for pulling the
outstanding trumps.
For example, lead the five Of
hearts to the ace at trick two.
Cash the ace and king of dia-
monds and ruff a diamond with
the king of hearts. Lead the
nine of hearts. overtake with
dummy's ten, return dummy's
last diamond and ruff with the
queen of hearts.
Now go to dummy with the
king of spades and cash the
Jack and eight of hearts, picking
UP Mrs. Keen's last trumps.
Dummy would be good with the
exception of one club loser.

9th Grade Enjoys Dr.. Ceist's Talk

MT. Otto Geist, paleontologist from the University of Alaska, was invited by the sixth grade to lecture about his work. Mrs. Dunbar's sixth grade room was also invited to listen.
 MT. Geist informed us that he has found the bones of many pre- historic animals including the camel, the mammoth, sabre tooth tiger, mice, horses, mastadon and many others. Some of these ani- mals lived not more than 2,2OO years ago.
 We learned that many human bones were found. Mr. Geist ob- tains these bones and gives them to the University of Alaska and other museums.
 A baby mammoth was found in the ice just as it had died.
 He told us that all these animals found so far lived in Alaska while the climate was still cold and that the camel and other animals are losing their hair because they are now living in warm climates.
 The paleontologists find the bones during sluicing operations.
 All of us enjoyed MT. Geist'S visit and we hope he can come again.

Congress of
 American Indians Holds Meeting

At a recent meeting of the Ma tional Congress of American In dians, Elizabeth Peratrovich, Thlinget tribe, Juneau, was elect ed for three-year term. Also re- appointed by the Executive Coun- cil to serve on the staff of NCAI as field representative of NCAI in Alaska.
 This work consists of compiling a great deal of information deal ing with the social, economic and political problems that face the natives in Alaska. She acts as CO., ordinator.
 The Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood are | affiliated with the NCAI and have delegated their authority to NCAI to represent the group in legisla- tive and other matters. NCAI has many individual members in the Territory of Alaska.
 Speakers at the convention in cluded Dr. Verne Ray, professor of anthropology at the University of Washington, and Don c. Foster, Portland area director.
 Present at the NCAI convention was Glenn l.. Emmons, commits sioner of Indian affairs. In his address to the delegates he said:
 Tribal existence on the reSer- vations is recognized, by the bu- reau as important to many indi- viduals, but a sound relocation program that would fit the Indian for urban living is also regarded as essential. would question the wisdom of pinning all our hopes and aspirations on reservation de- velopment even though all of us recognize there will always be large numbers who prefer to re- main in familiar surrounding and participate in tribal life.
 Dr. James R. Shaw, newly elect ed director of Indian health under the newly created US. Public Health Service, reported to the NCAI members. He said, If you are an Indian your life expectancy in this country is 36 years, in contrast to 61 years for the white man. Death among Indian infants is two to seven times greater than among white children. Tuberculo- sis death rates are to 28 times those of the white population.
 "Our prime aim is to help the Indian become a better citizen by helping him to be healthier member of our society. Tn order to achieve our goals we are expand ing clinics and hospital services to as many sick and needy Indians as require this care. We are train ing greater numbers of Indians to aid our hospital nursing staffs and we are hopeful that more In dians will seek professional train ing. In the short time since July l the service has added 86 medical officers for a total of 200, and six more schedules to be added next month"
