After the deal was played he
complained bitterly about his
opponents good luck. Neither
one of you had anything" he
said.
He was referring to the fact,
and of course it was a fact. that
both Mr.. Champion and Mr..
Masters were rather meagerly
endowed with high cards. But
there lies the whole point OF this
hand.

faithfully described their respec-
Skive holdings to each other and
&khe result was a realization that

Thought that his partners high
card strength was located where
4 1t would do him the most good
outside Of the spade suit. When
he showed first-round control OF
spades by his two-spade bid, Mr..
Champion was encouraged to
show his ace of clubs.
Mr.. Masters then cue-bid dia-
monds and Mr.. Champions fol-
lowing jump to five hearts
showed fine support in that suit
and inferred that his previous
bid of two hearts had been q
slight underbid.
This was enough to bring Mr..
Masters to the conclusion that
there was at least a fighting
chance for the six-odd.
Mr.. Muzzy opened the king Of
spades IA trump or the king OF
clubs would have been better)
and Mr.. Masters ruffed. He over
e0ok his king of hearts with
dummy's ace, returned a second
spade. and ruffed it. He entered
dummy with the ace o. clubs and
ruffed another spade.
Ruffing a club put him on the
board again TO lead a fourth
spade and trump it. Nowthe last
club was ruf1ed and the last
spade led from dummy. But this
time Mr.. Masters did not ruff in
his hand. Instead he pitched his
deuce of diamonds.
Mr.. Muzzy won and it was his
lead from a holding Of the high
club and the king-jack Of dia-
inonds. A diamond lead would 60

GOING LIKE so
Worn Body
Often Needs
Spare Part

Nobody ages evenly at the
same rate. For example at IS
or 10 you may need new teeth,
or have young eyes but old ears.
Certainly you will be worth more
to yourself and others If you
have good teeth and can both
read and hear.
However, we know that nearly
always it takes time and patience
to get useo to false teeth, eye
glasses and especially hearing
aids. Giving in to impatience may
mean giving in to disabilities.
If you really want to keep
going, it's as important to
strengthen or replace a worn
part Of your body as worn part
of your car.

We're mile and a half from the

And it rains today, so we can't go.
We go ten miles to party or
show,
Though the rains should fall and
the winds should blow.
That's why, when it rains, we just
can't 60.
But we always go to the things
we like,
And we ride if we can; if we can't,
we hike.

Educator Raps
School Critics

CHICAGO. Oct. II (P.-The
president of the University Of
Illinois told college educators
today they should stand up and
fight against arrogance Of opin-
ion in the critics of education. +"
However, said DR.. David D.
Henry, in firing back at their
critics they should avoid using
the pressure approach which
characterizes so much of the eff
fort to influence public opinion. !"
1T is to be deplored," DR..
Henry said in a speech pre-
pared for the American Council
on Education, that there is a
persistently angry tone in the
discussion of American public
affairs. Schools and school peo-
pie ought not to submit to the
fashion.
THE pressure approach is in
appropriate for higher educa-
ton. Arrogance of opinion in
the critics of education is to be
opposed, not initiated"
DR.. Henry urged that colleges
cultivate public understanding
and participation in solving their
financial and educational prob
lens.
DR.. Henry said he believed the
present popular attitude is in
general Overwhelmingly in sup
port of the college and univer-
sity system" but he lambasted
the critic of education who may
not have been in a classroom
since his own student days"

Covenants banning liquor

Suits have been fled to break
the covenants. The association

that block. Last nights action
was taken on motion Of Fred T.

NOT IN THE DARK

Election day is not far off. Novem-
ber is just around the corner.
Americans have the privilege of
electing their governmental leaders.
It's a right secured only through
bloodshed and hardship since the
time of the exodus to the New World.
Many think lightly of the privilege
and stay away from the polls in
droveS. 1t is just such Indifference
that led to dictatorial nations in other
parts of the world.
This year, make it a point to come
out and vote. And don't vote in the
dark either. Study the issues. Study
the candidates. Think deeply of the
national situation. Make sure you
are registered. And then when elec-
ton day comes, go to polls and cast
yuor vote for the candidates of your
choice.
If you don't vote, you have no right
to complain.

SOME THE BEST

Like every Yam Festival we have
had, the 1856 event had some aspects
better than any previously and some
not as good as some of the past.
In our opinion it was the best par
ade we have ever had. 1t was prac-
tically on time and spaced very well.
Some of the floats We're excellent. And
to top it off, there was an excellent
crowd on hand to witness it.
We failed to attract enough folks
to the festival on Thursday. That has
always been problem and thus far
we have not been able to come up
with any gimmick to bring people to
town on that opening day.
The exhibit hall, except for the
educational booth, was as attractive
as it has been at any time in the
past. The sweet potato booths that
are supposed to bring some new cul-
utre to us in the ways and means of
growing and marketing the Carolina
yam, was the poorest this year it has
ever been. Where the fault lies this
time, we are not certain. But some
where along the line, little or no
thought was given to this phase of
the event. Yet, this should have been
one of the primary objectives.
Generally, we believe the occasion
was a success again and worth all
the sacrifice and effort put into it by
the various Woodworking committees.

WONDERFUL SYMPATHY

When the Myrtle Beach youngster
suffering from an incurable disease
was touched by the story of Luther
Mishoe's near blindness and went out
to solicit funds for him, that's the
acme of sympathy.
Certainly there should be reward
for such Christian charity in the heart
of such a youngster. And there will
be rewards for the hundreds of other
persons all over the country who have
given so literally that young Mishoe
might see normally again.
Many of these donations came from
persons who needed the money they
contributed. Such gift cannot be
measured in dollars and cents.
