Mr.. Champion was the OPEN
ing leader In today's deal. Hav-
ing no entry cards, it seemed
useless to him to open his long
suit, clubs. Instead he led the
eight of spades, trying to hit a
good suit in his partners hand.
Mr.. Muzzy would have done
better to duck this lead, holding
back his ace to, kill dummy's
king of spades later.
But Mr.. Muzzy isn't that good.
When the five of spades was
played from dummy he went
right up with the ace.
Looking over the dummy
hand, Mr.. Masters saw that it
would be quite convenient to
have two entries to the board.
These entries would enable him
to finesse hearts twice and, If the
king of hearts were in Mr..
Muzzy's hand, three. tricks could
be won in the suit. These. plus
three club tricks, two spades
and one diamond. would be
enough for the contract
So at the first trick Mr..
Masters dropped the jack of
spades under Mr.. Muzzy's ace.
unlocking so that both the king
and the ten on the board could
win tricks in the suit.
Mr.. Muzzy's spade return was
taken by dummy's ten. The
deuce of hearts was returned and
the jack finessed. When this
held, Mr.. Masters decided to try
out the diamond suit.
He led the five of diamonds,
hoping Mr.. Champion held the
king. When the deuce was
played on his left he put up
dummy's queen, but Mr.. Muzzy
won with the king and fired back
another spade.
This trick was won with the
king OF spades on the board.
Another heart was led and the
queen finessed. When this play
was a winner, Mr.. Masters was
able to lay the hand down for
three no-trump.
Quite probably Mr.. Masters
would have made this hand any
way, but the point is that you
should always be alert for un-
blocking possibilities of this kind.
If 1t turns out you didn't need
the play, you've lost nothing. II
you did need it, you'll have quite
an edge over less alert COM
petitors.

RAINS AND FLOOD TIDES
DELAY OCRACOKE TRAVEL

Recent rains and high water
made it impossible on Sunday for
cars to Gland" on Ocracoke from
the ferry. Principal Theodore
Rondthaler, en- route home from a
business trip to Swan Quarter, had
to leave his jeep in Hatteas, and
he and Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher Hog
gard enjoyed about a half mile of
knee-deep wading in getting from
the ferry to the mainland of Ocra-
coke. Mr.. William Garrish, there
to meet them, found the water too
deep at high tide to drive through
it, Though at low tide that morn
ing Danny Garrish, en- route to

calls for a plate of IL specimens,
be sure that you have 12-no more
and no less.
In vegetable exhibits, specimens
should be of best marketable size
except where the catalog calls for
the largest" as in the case of the
pumpkins. Where the class calls
for a plate, tray, peck or bushel,
the individual specimens should be
as nearly alike in size, shape and
color as possible and should have
he true characteristics of that par
ticular variety. Potatoes need not
be washed unless it will improve
their appearance. However, if not
washed, they should be brushed
with soft brush or cloth.
Flower exhibits call for perfec-
ton. Good stems, good healthy fol-
iage, and a perfect bloom are es-
sential. 1t is important to have
flowers in good condition at the
time of judging. A rose bloom
should be from one-half to three
fourths open-a tight bud will not
be considered by the judges.
Fruits, such as apples and pears,
should have true varietal charac-
teristics, be we'll colored, and not
over ripe. They should be free
from disease and insect damage.
Stems must not be removed from
apples and pears. All specimens in
plate or tray should be uniform

MARCH OF DIMES IN NC

North Carolina chairman of the
1856 March of Dimes campaign,
scheduled for the month of Janu-
ary. Edison succeeds Palmer
Laughridge, Jr., who resigned after
successfully serving as state chair
man of the 1855 campaign. This
is announced by Basil O'Connor,
New York, President of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. ral .a' '.,
Edison is fully acquainted with
the work and needs of the Founda-
ton, having served as a volunteer
since 1910 when he became chair
man of the CASTOR County polio
chapter. He resigned this post to
accept the state craftsmanship. For
three years he directed with out
standing success the March of
Dimes drive in his county, and dur
ing the 1914 polio epidemic in the
state, the year of the Miracle of
Hickory" he was instrumental in
setting up and putting into opera
ton the emergency polio ward at
the North Carolina Orthopaedic
Hospital at Gastonia.
Edison is active in many clubs
and organizations, among them,
Rotary, Mason and Shrine. During
1949 and 1850 he served as presi-
dent of the Fraternal Orders of
Eagles. For twelve years he has
served as senior advisor to the

Edison has appealed to all North

OCRACOKE PTA TO HOLD
FIRST MEETING MONDAY

Ocracoke, Sept. IL. = Ocracoke
School P.T.A. will hold it's first
meeting of the new school year
next Monday night, September
10th, pm. in the school library.
Officers elected at the May meet
ing will take over their duties.
Frank Teeter, new president, is
enlisted in the U. S. Coast GuarAl
and serving on the 83-footer her
at Ocracoke. He has three chill
dren in school this year. Vice
president is Marvin Howard, who,
at the time of his election did not
know that work with the u. S. En-
gineers would take him away from
Ocracoke for several months. He is
now in charge of hopper-dredge
in Lake Maracaibe in Venezuela,
S. A. Secretary for the ensuing
year is Mrs. Archie Wahab, who
has two children in the primary
grades, and a third at home wish
ing he could go to school also.
Treasurer is Mrs. Van Henry
O'Neal; both of her children are
now in school.
Several matters of school inter
est will be brought up at the first
meeting, and plans for the groups
activities this year will be discuss
ed and voted on at the first meet
ing. Following the custom of serv-
ing in alphabetical order, hostesses
for the Monday night meeting are
Mrs. Junius Austin, Mrs. Hazen
Brooks, Miss Kathleen Bragg, Mrs.
Henry Balance, Mrs. Elisha Esh-
am, and Mrs. Elmo Fulcher.
All enrolled members, and 9TH
ers who desired to join the P.T.A.,
are urged to be present at this
first meeting of the year.

acy." The judge is little behind
the times, so far as customs are
now sanctioned. Forty years ago,
a great hue and cry was raised
when folks lived in adultery. Often
they were taken to court. Only the
most brazen and depraved people
dared public scorn. Snug matrons
wouldn't be seen in the presence
of such women; and how chins did
wag at every female assembly.
Why couples now live together for
years, openly admitting their guilt,
begetting new children, parading
publicly for all eyes to see. This
means little to the whites, and less
to the colored, where officials now
have lost the nerve to bring lille
gitimate parents forth to support
their offspring. It's a great new
day for the colored gals for now
they get a nice raise for every
baby, in their monthly check from
the welfare office. We used to raise
hell about Hitler's plan of state
financed bonuses for bastardy, but
what-in- ELLIS the difference in his'n
and ours?

Now there are times when it is
obvious that the Negro race is
clearly at disadvantage when it
comes to getting justice in the
courts. We have noted this week
newspaper report of wholesale ar
rests of bootleggers and liquor law
violators in Pasquotank County.
Officers have been working for a
month to round up these suspects.
1t develops, according to the news
report that of 113 arrested, all OF
them were Negroes. Now we have
had some experience in law en-
forcement and we know something
is wrong here. We'd say it is quite
true, that of those engaged in pet
ty bootlegging, the larger part of
them are Negroes, because high
er percentage of Negroes are lazy
and shiftless, and without ambi-
ton to do better than pick up
something the easiest way. But we
do not fear successful contradic-
ton in saying that any group of
officers engaged in securing pop
ulation of $4,000 people in search
of lawbreakers, could have done a
whole lot better than to come up
with 100 per cent collection of
worthless negroes.

1t was unfortunate for Mississ-
ippi that a brash Negro boy full
of Chicago-bred insolence and con-
tempt for the white race should
come south and foolishly make ad-
vances to white woman. Most
people also think it was unfortu-
nate that he should be killed short
ly afterward. But the boy and his
people should have known better
than to so insolently and deliber-
ately toss a flaming torch into a
can of gas. He just should have
had better sense. Perhaps the boys
unfortunate ending may be a de-
terrent to others. 1t surelysis not
going to make some whites love
negroes any better. And it is easy
to predict that no jury in Mississ-
ippi is going to invoke the death
penalty on anyone because of it.
1t is unfortunate that the Negroes,
or rather their advisers, will never
learn any commonsense. 1t is un-
fortunate that they cannot realize
that one man cannot be made to
love another through force, or the
passage of laws. 1t is unfortunate
that office holders and men in high
places should be so yielding to
any block of votes that they should
overstep the bounds of reason and
commonsense. Doesn't it really
seem ridiculous that men who get
to the highest of places too often
don't have the commonsense you'd
find in a township constable?

The worth and popularity of the
patrolman in such counties depends
therefore on how much he can
bring in to benefit the office hold
ers. Justice is the least and last
The coastland times., 1955-09-16

We don't know anything about
the situation in Harnett County
where the grand jury has recently
started prosecution of the county
judge and solicitor for improper
operation of their courts, but it
has been our observation that
there is some highly improper GO
ings on in other counties, partic-
ularly the small ones, where coun-
ty courts are disgraceful. In the
first place, these courts were de-
signed in some instances just to
put some political ass on the pub
lie payroll, and seldom do we see
the judges place occupied by a
man of legal knowledge, let alone
ability. Too often there is no ju-
dicial temperament. In some cases
men have been put on the bench
who themselves had been convict
ed criminals. Usually such Off
cials are beholden to some local
big-shot, or cheap politician, often
he tries cases before court, or
out of court. Justice does not often
prevail. We once noted where one
of these two by four judges said
in open court in a traffic case: "The
state is good enough to send US a
patrolman in our county, so feel
I will have to side with the patrol
man." This was one of those in
stances where without the patrol
