Mr.. Champion opened his
fourth best spade, the six. and
Mr.. Masters was permitted to
win with the jack. The nine OF
spaaes was returned and Mr..
llale won with the king. He
noted Mr.. Champions play of
the deuce, indicating an orig
inaI spade holding of at least
i've cards.
He studied the hand for a
moment. Then he smiled and
said, ''This is really quite a deal.
As / see it, there is only one
safe lead at this point"
Mr.. Muzzy and Mr.. New were
kibitzing the game. They pulled
their chairs closer to look the
situation over.
I'D lead the nine Of clubs and
let 1t ride" whispered Mr.. New.
Mr.. Dale shook his head.
Lead q diamond to the ace
in dummy. return q heart and
take the f1nesse," offered Mr..
Muzzy confidently.
mo" said MFR. Dale.
"Oh. I see it now" said Mr..
New. Lead the ace and then
another heart"
You're getting warmer" en-
couraged Mr.. Dale.
Lead the king of diamonds
and oyertake it with the ace?"
suggested Mr.. Muzzy desperately.
Let's 60" snorted Mr.. Cham
pion. as this q bridge game or
8 free clinic for clunkheads?"
Mr.. Dale led. He led the queen
of hearts. Mr.. Champion won
with the king and led another
spade. Mr.. Dale winning with
the ace. Now the old boy took
the club finesse and 1t lost to
the king. But the contract was
out of danger.
MIR. Masters was out Of spades
and the only card by which he
might have reached his partners
hand (the king Of hearts, had
been played.
Mr.. Dale figured the hand
beautifully. Assuming the king
of clubs was wrong. he had only
seven tricks outside Of the heart
%uit. Obviously. then. he would
have to win two hearts.
To enter dummy with the ace
Of diamonds to finesse hearts
was dangerous. The enemy. after
winning with the king Of hearts,
might knock out the king Of
diamonds and later win two
tricks in that suit. To lead the
ace and another heart ran the
risk of finding Mr.. Masters with
five hearts to the king and the
king OF clubs. In that case he
would win with his king and
pound back a third round Of
hearts.
This hand will be q shock to
the finessing addicts. But kick
It around any way you want to.
and you will find the old master
made the safest play.

Mrs. John Diamond, III

A great welcome home is in
order these days for some of our
very good friends and neighbors
who have been away from Rock
vile for some time.
A week or so ago, Mrs. Gordon
Rosenberger returned home from
Fort Riley, Kans. with her young
sterS and opened her house on
Montgomery Ave. 1t seems that
DR.. Rosenberger will be return
ing before too long and will re-
open his office and resume his
practice in Rockville. 1t will GER
tainly be good to see Polly and
Gordon back again, for they have
been missed from the local scene.
They left Rockville two years ago
when DR.. Rosenberger entered
the Army Medical Corps to serve
a two year period.
One of Rockville's fairest
young ladies and a great favorite,
Elaine Cromwell, has just return
ed home after spending 20 months
with the American Red Cross in
Japan and Korea. Elaine was a
hospital recreational worker and
thoroughly enjoyed her tour of
duty to that part of the world.
She spent some time in Tokyo,
and Osaka. Just before she sail
ed for home, she talked to Mary
Anne Kephart. The Kepharts are
due home the first part of July.
That is, they will arrive in the
States about that time. They
will visit in the West before re-
turning to Rockville. Welcome,
home, Elaine, we have missed you
and it is nice to have you back
again!
Mrs. Milton Clogg, Sr. had a
wonderful Mothers Day present
her daughter, Mrs. Win Hobbs,
winged in from Tampa, Fla. ar
irving in Rockville early Satur-
day morning. She will be here
for awhile for a visit. Emma
Lee, as she is more affectionately
known, has a host of friends in
Rockville and it is always good
to see her again.
One of the very incest things
we have heard in many a day
comes from Mrs. George Ed
mondS. 1t seems that when Mrs.
Edmonds was i'll a few months
ago, some of her good friends
and neighbors wanted to do some
thing for her but did not have
an opportunity. However, a week
or two ago, they gathered at her
home on Maple Avenue and
worked all day long, putting her
lawn and shrubbery in order, and
cleaning up the debris left by the
storms. Ted Faatz, Bugs" Floyd,
E1r. Irving, Louis Bremerman,
and Mr.. Ricketts,, were the gen.
tlemen who came to Mrs. Ed
monds' and worked all day Satur-
day. Russell Baker trimmed the
hedge which surrounds her lawn.
Speaking of Good neighbor
Policies" this is one which some
of our friends throughout the
world might emulate. How good
it is to know how fine and
thoughtful people can be. This
is the same fine spirit of coopera-

ton and kindness that has made
our United States the great Coun-
try it is-and may we add, our
Rockville the wonderful commu-
nifty it is.
Another wonderful story comes
from Blair High School this
week. 1t seems that the Associa-
ton of Student Councils of Mont
gomery County puts on an acti-
witty each year to raise funds for
a scholarship for a student in the
County, chosen as worthy of the
honor by committee composed
of delegates from the various
schools. This year the student
chosen for the scholarship was
Bob Wilson a senior at Blair.
On Saturday night talent
show was presented at Blair to
raise funds for the scholarship.
Winner of the first place in
the solo performances was
none other than Rockville's
own, Jimmy Tom Ankney
Jimmy, as you know, is an I'm
usually talented pianist and it
seems that he continues to roll
up, honor after honor. Take a
bow, Jimmy, we are proud of
you! And that is not ALTO Cliff
ford Gonyer of RMTIS and his
Gymkana Troop, we say take
bow, too, for they placed second
in the group performances at the
show. Congratulations to all
these young folks and for this
very fine activity in which they
are participating. Bob Wilson is
planning to use his scholarship at
George Washington University
where he will major in biology.
Come Sunday afternoon,
Chats this Sunday, May 15), all
roads will be leading to Richard
Montgomery High School. The
RMHS Band is giving a concert
there in the Gym beginning at
$3.50 pm. This will be the Third
Annual Spring Concert presented
by the Band and it will be under
the direction of Mr.. John E. Pres
ton, band instructor at RMIIS.
Admission to the concert will be
$.35. Children under II years of
age and holders of Band Booster
cards will be admitted free of

concert will be used toward the
fund the band is raising for one
of those fabulous musical instru-
ments-a kettledrum.
The Rockville Lions Club made
a very generous donation to start
the fund off and members of the
band have been selling Band
Booster" cards, which entities the
Booster to all the privileges of
membership, including free adj
mission to all band events dur
ing the current year Need we say
more? HE yourselves down to
RMHS Sunday. You'll hear some
truly good band music (Mr. Pres
ton is an unusually accomplished
musician and has been doing
some very fine work with these
young people.)
Mr.. and Mrs. William A..
Young of West Montgomery Ave,
will soon be leaving for their new
home in Santa Monica, Calf. The
Youngs were recently dinner
hosts at Normandy Farm in hon
or of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Stacey

taxes here. He spoke of two
specifically:
Income tax exemptions of
only $4,000 for q couple instead
Of the present $4,000.
Increasing upper brackets pay
ments.
He said increasing the sales
tax would be difficult because Of
business competition with nearby
States.
I'VE must select levies that will
least encourage tax sources to
move outside of the District"
Mr.. Press contended. He en-
phasized larger Federal pay
ments for the District and sug-
gested that the Federal payment
should be at least $40 million
annually.

Laurel, Miss.--tANP)-Desper
ately looking for new means to
combat Indignation. a Mississippi
Senator has come up with the
statement that the adoption Of the
l4th Amendment to the u. s. Con-
stitution was illegal.
Sen. John c. Stennis says he
will start legal action to overturn
the amendment, which the u. S,
Supreme Court used in its ruling
against public school segregation,
The 14th Amendment states
that no state shall deprive any
person OF life. liberty or property,
without due process Of law; nor
deny any person within its juris-
diction the equal protection Of the

Stennis bases his allegation that
the amendment Is unconstitutional
on the fact that the Southern
