A proposed community SWIM
ming pool for the town of Chew
erly won approval of the Prince
Georges County commissioners
yesterday. provided promoters
comply with IL restrictions laid
down to protect nearby property
owners.

opposing camps on the question
of whether the pool will or will
not be detrimental to the towns

is anxious to make the pool
pleasant for everyone concerned.
The commissioners specified
these restrictions:

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. z. EDGAR

CANCELLATION: War cor
respondent Ernie Pyle hated
winter weather. Early one De-
Icember. some years ago, he de-
lcided to beat the cold by going
to Hawaii to write a series Of
articles.
He went to California to await
a plane. A few days before he
was TO leave. he was informed
that he could not go.
Disappointed. Pyle went to
Portland, Ore. He was in the
hotel lobby complaining of the
cold weather to another guest.
My plane is probably landing
in Hawaii right now" he COM
mented ruefully. Just think. /
should be basking in the warm
sun instead Of shivering herel"
Bored. he went up to his room
and turned on the radio. What
he heard made him forget about
the temperature. The date was
December Z. l94l and the Japa-
nese we're bombing Pearl Har-
Dor.

CHAPTER II
A Merry Christmas to All

n MCIEy OnElStudS 10 All
Little by little turned into
stone. But just as I thought
was gone forever I heard a great
noise. I opened my eyes and
saw two golden fairies coming
down the rainbow.
They were leading Calhoun
McGillicuddy by the hand. On
McGillicuddy's back was the sor-
cerer.
A moment later the elf dumped
the sorcerer by the pot of gold
There" he said. tits all just
as I promised you'll"
The sorcerer looked at the
gold. His eyes grew large. His
face softened.
+. Cold" he whispered. "Gold!"
He was about to dip his hands
into the pot but McGillicuddy
said. First the boy!"
"Oh, yes" said the sorcerer.
He reached in his pocket and
drew out a jar of cream. He
rubbed a bit of it on my nose
and instantly the feeling came
back into my limbs and I was
myself again.
Then the sorcerer dropped
down by the pot and ran his
hands through the gold. Tears
ran down his cheeks. I'm so
he sobbed. Now I don't
have to change people to gold.
Here is all the gold I've ever
wanted"
It Was Christmas Eve
you will be the guardian of
the gold," said a fairy. But you
can never leave here. If you try
to cross the rainbow without our
help you will sink in the golden
mist"
"Leave?" cried the sorcerer.
"Oh, please don't ever make
me leave. I will be a good guard
ian. I swear it! And here" he
added, turning to McGillicuddy.
Take this cream to your friends

in the palace. And tell them to
send to me If they ever have
need Of gold"
"McGillicuddy took me by the
hand. Come, we must hurry"
he said. 1T is Christmas eve."
AS we travelled I began to
think about my seven brothers
and seven sisters and how I'd
worried them so. McGillicuddy
must have known my mind be-
cause he said, Alexander, I'm
taking you home"
He dropped me of at my own
door and said goodbye. THANK
YOU" I said, "for everything"
Home at Last
When I went in my house
there was no one there. went
to the barn. 1t was empty.
was tired but there was one
thing I had to do. I went back
in the house and / hung is
stockings on the mantel over the
Kitchen chimney. Then I went
back to the barn and dropped
into the hay.
The next thing I knew my
seven brothers and seven sisters
were all about me.
Hes here! He's come home at
last" they cried.
And Alexander, you need not
worry about the princess any
more. She's been found" cried
Amanda. We've been in town
looking for you everywhere
While we were there the palace
suddenly lighted up. Every win
dow! And the king came out lr
the public square and with him
was Princess Anne. They looked
so happy! So you see it was all
a bad dream you had about
them after ALL"
I nodded and smiled to myself
And one thing more" said
Amanda. "Oh. wish you could
have seen 1t! You know the
Christmas decoration on the
palace roof? While we stood
there Santa actually climbed in
the sleigh and the reindeer
pulled him away. OF course they
did it with strings and magnets
but truly, it looked just like
real!"
After they'd all gone to bed
I lay there in the dark and
thought. Were all my adventures
real? Or did they just look real?
Suddenly I knew the answer,
For there was the clear sound
Iof jingling bells and through the
loft window I saw a sleigh
.circling right over my own house.
My heart filled with joy be-
cause I could hear Santa calling,
Merry Christmas, Alexander!
Merry Christmas to ALL"

But with Mr.. Dale's expert
partner management" he was
slowly getting back to normal.
At least he realized his error in
this hand, which showed he was
thinking again.
Mr.. Champion led the king of
spades and Mr.. Abel won with
the ace. He pulled trumps, end
ing in the dummy.
He had one sure spade loser
and two losers in clubs-unless
the opponents helped him by
leading clubs first. The con-
tract seemed to depend, then,
on holding the diamond losers
to one.
Mr.. Abel thought. worried,
frowned, squirmed-and finally
led the four Of diamonds from
the board and put on his ten
spot. Mr.. Champion won with
the jack and continued spades.
Mr.. Abel ruffed the third spade
lead in his hand. He then led
the deuce of diamonds and dunn
my's queen was permitted to
win.
The next diamond was taken
by Mr.. Champion with the ace.
He returned the ten of clubs,
dummy ducked and so did Mrs.
Keen. Mr.. Abel won with the
queen. but he still had to lose
two clubs for down one.
When the last card hit the
table. Mr.. Abel saw the light.
I'm sorry. partner" he moaned.
II should have made it.
After winning the first trick
and taking out trumpS, should
have led spade. Champion
would have continued spades
and when l ruffed the third lead
of the suit, I should have led a
club-not a diamond.
They couldn't have won more
than two club tricks" Mr.. Abel
went on. And after the clubs
were gone. they would have had
two choices-both bad. A dia-
mond lead would have automat-
ically held my diamond losers
to one. A spade or club would
have let me ruff in one hand
while sluffing a loser from the
other"
Mr.. Champion started to say
something, but Mr.. Dale silenced
him with dirty look.
Ignoring Mr.. Abels analysis
of the hand. the old boy re-
marked: you know, I think my
hand was a little weak for a.
free raise Of your hearts"
This I consider a winning"
remark. And results on the sub
sequent hands of the rubber
proved it to be an excellent
investment.
