shenanigans.
From then on the forecasting
of her felonies and misdemeanorS
was up to Reinhart c. Schmidt,
high sheriff of the weather cops
here charged with studying de-
linquent winds.
Connie was about 80 miles
southeast of Morehead City,
N. C, at the time. Her whirling
winds were hitting 100 miles per
hour and she was travelling
toward Cape Hatteras at an in
creasing clip, then II miles an
hour
Mr.. Schmidt and his aides had
kept distressing eyes on the
tropical doxy since her birth, just
as they are wary now of Hurri-
cane, Diane, their new customer.
The responsibility of tracking
and predicting hurricanes is
solely that of the chief fore
casters. Mr.. Schmidt was as
sisted by countless reports from
all observers on the Eastern Sea-
board. But it was his fearsome
task to boil down their already
boiled down reports into a sue
cinct summary which, in turn,
would go out to the public at
large, and to the contributors
of fragmentary observations.
Data Trickles in
Into the emergency brieflng
room at his National Airport
station trickled bits of data from
the Nations Eastern stations.
There were hourly informationS
on local wind velocity, precipita-
ton, wind direction and other
matters.
Hurricane advisories follow a
styled pattern, weathermen
here had to have their first one
ready three hours after Miami
handed them the baton.
In addition. local advisories
had to be kept current for the
pilots. Atlantic shipping and
land-locked agencies and in
dividuals depending on the sta
ton for weather news.
The stations 8 am. Friday
local advisory had Connie about
300 miles south Of here and due
to by pass Cape Hatteras by
noon.
Hatteras has a new radar sta
ton on it. No other single
weather agency played a more
important role in keeping Mr..
Schmidt up to date on Connie.

Connie was still weaving ano

strongest winds were 80 m.p.h.

still held true. Connie had a

Europe Also Advised
Individual observers elsewhere
filed their cryptics. Diane S

latest on her, and ships scat

recordings tapped out on the
multitude of wire printers that
link the airport with the world.
Europe was advised of the newest
developments. Lake Erie boats
were told to keep eye peeled.
At z pm. the temperature here
was SO degrees, relative humidity
96 per cent, and the streets were
soaked. Connie, now 235 miles

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CATCH-Early in his baseball
career, Umpire Bill KLEIN was
given the nickname Catfish" q
name which he detested.
One day, during the off sea-
son, KLEIN went fishing with
slugger Paul Waner. The two
were sitting at opposite ends of
the boat, watching their lines.
Suddenly Waner felt a tug on
his line and he hauled in. With
out turning. KLEIN called out:
What did you get, Paul?"
Waner took one look at his
catch and sucked in this breath.
IL got a pike, Bill" he lied.
MEMORY - English writer
Thomas Macauley possessed a
prodigious memory. He had only
to read q book once and he could
quote passages word for word.
One night, while visiting with
friends, he quoted from an essay
written by a second-rate author.
What made you memorize
that?" asked one of his friends.
did You think such prose was
worth remembering"
II couldn't help myself"
apologized Macauley. IT was in
o bookshop this afternoon and
I happened to glance at his
book"

It was, indeed, Mr.. Judge, the
self-appointed arbiter of the
game. Mr.. Judge never plays
but he is a constant kibitzer. He
seems happy when an infraction
Of the rules occurs. At these
times he is right in there yelling
with the best Of them. You'd
think he was in the game and
had just suffered a thousand
point set.
He pulls his chair closer to
the table and briskly whips out
his copy of the bridge laws,
which he always carries. II you
want q copy Of this, its title Is
'The Laws Of Contract Bridge"
and you can get it at your book
store or from the publisher, the
John c. Winston Co. of Phila-
delphia.
My mail indicates a lively in
terest in this matter of laws and
especially in the penalties in
volved in leads out of turn, bids
out Of turn and other infrac-
tions. Mr.. Judges rulings IN
this and following columns will,
I hope, patch up many a broken
friendship.
In today's deal Mr.. Muzzy
made an insufficient bid. Over
Mr.. Abel's two-spade bid he
called two diamonds. The other
players looked for Mr.. Judge.
He was right there. In fact he
already had his book out and
was happily tumbing through it.
The ruling was as follows: If
Mr.. Muzzy changed his bid to
three diamonds (the lowest suf-
ficient bid in the same denomi-
nation) there was no penalty. If
he made any other sufficient bid
his partner would have to pass
at his next turn. If he chose to
change his call to a pass, Mr..
Champion would be barred from
any further bidding and the de-
clarer could require or forbid the
lead Of a specified suit.
As you might know, Mr.. Muzzy
decided to change his call to a
pass, thereby saddling his side
with the most damaging Of the
penalties listed.
Hav ing the advantage of con-
trolling the opening lead, Mr..
Dale now bid four spades. After
everybody passed, he asked Mr..
Champion to lead a club. Mr..
Champion did, practically BASH
Ing in the top of the table.
Thus Mr.. Dale was able to win
the first trick, extract trumps and
discard one of dumrny's losing
diamonds on the third round of
clubs. He lost only the ace and
king Of hearts and a diamond
trick.
