Beef Committee
Meeting Nov. II

Now is the most effective time
to drench your eve flock, to elm
mate parasites from the recent
years lamb crop, according to John
Z. Moore, Co. Agr'l Agent. This
was discussed at the last county
beef committee meeting Nov. IT.
1t was agreed that nearly 900 of
the internal parasites can be
eliminated by drench of combin-
alton Phenothiazine and lead ar
senate. The only way parasites live
through the winter is in the brood
flocks. In thinking about getting
your lambs on the market in the
early part of the season when the
lamb prices are higher, drench
your ewes so they will be able to
drop good stock lambs. Further
information can be obtained from

him a letter Of introduction to
q theatrical producer. When the
two met again, a week later, the
playwright was a picture of de-
lection. ....

ducer?" asked Barrie.
Yes"

then? Didn't he like the play?"
HE liked 1t very much" said
the other. But before he would
commit himself. he made me
read 1t to an actress. She had
q little dog with her that kept
barking so. I couldn't make my
self understood. That did it.
Thanks to the pup, the play was
turned down."
"What was the name of the
actress?" asked Barrie.
The playwright told him. Bar
RE nodded understandingly.
II know exactly how you feel,

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Crestline: On q recent TV pro-
gram the announcer said a word
that sounded like "fa-LA-ta-
list" Is that a new pronuncia-
tion for the word "fatalist "?-
"A. P.
Answer: No. A philatelist is
one who collects postage stamps.
Pronounce it: fi-LAT-uh- list,
"i's" short as in fill"
Junction City: I often see
"shrimps" in magazine articles
and recipes. Should one pro-
nounce the "s"?-B. La s.
Answer Yes. Shrimps is the
proper plural Of the word shimp.
One speaks of buying shrimps,
Of preparing shrimps, of cooking
shrimps, Of serving and eating
shrimps. However. in speaking
of shrimps collectively, the plural
is shrimp, as: A large catch of
gulf shrimp: the water is alive
with shrimp; a boatload of
shrimp.

the waterway between Lake
Michigan and the gulf" Right2

BY EASLEY BLACKWOOD

Mr.. Dale would have been
fulfilled in figuring his partner
for a singleton diamond. since
she had bid two suits. including
a reverse. and had then Jump
raised spades. But he knows
her enormous optimism and he
allows for it.
As it happened. four spades
was a touchy contract and
probably would have been de-
feated on a trump opening. But
Mr.. Abel opened the queen Of
clubs. Dummy's king won and
Mr.. Dale could count nine win
ners of the top. unless one op-
ponent had all five Of the out
standing spades.
The 10th trick might be de-
veloped by giving up q heart
trick and hoping to win three
tricks in the suit. This play
would win only If the opposing
hearts were divided as. and the
odds are against that distribu-
tion.
So Mr.. Dale correctly de-
eided to ruff a diamond in
dummy for his 10th trick. At
trick two he led the trey of
diamonds from dummy. He
played the ten over Mrs. Keen's
six and Mr.. Abel won with the
Jack. Mr.. Abel returned a
trump when he saw what MFR.
Dale was trying to do. Dummy's
jack won and another diamond
lead lost to the ace. Back
came another trump but the
defense was just one tempo be-
hind. Mr.. Dale still had one
trump left on the board to take
care of his third diamond.
After ruffing the diamond, he
cashed dummy's ace Of clubs,
then entered his hand by ruff
fing a small club high. Now he
pulled the last outstanding
trump and made four-odd, CIV
ing up a heart at the end.
His line Of play would not
nave been successful If he had
cashed even one round Of
trumps early in the hand be-
cause the time element would
then have been in favor Of the
defenders.

HURRICANE LOSS

Hurricane damage in re-

lated effect upon insurance
coverage in Maryland.
After tomorrow, all new
policies and Endorsements
will include an automatic
$50-deductible clause on
windStorm and hail claims.
In other words, insurance
companies will not pay poll
icyholderS for the first $50
of loss sustained as a result
of windstorm and hail.
The change, approved by
the Maryland commissioner
Of insurance, is similar to
plans adopted recently in
several Northeastern States.
Coincident with the change.
insurance companies will
make slight rate revisions on
windstorm and hail cover
age in Maryland. In some
instances the rates will be
up a few cents per S100
coverage and in other in
stances the rates will be
lowered. This is an adjust
ment taking into account
the automatic clause.
Neither the District nor
Virginia has the automatic
provision.

This Is the week the men

would in Joe's poolroom.
