Mr.. Muzzy's club overcall was
pretty bad but at least it gave
Mr.. Heinsite a clue as to Miss
Brash,s distribution "a clue
which he should have used to
steer his partner into the best
defense.
Mr.. Muzzy opened the king
OF clubs, the trey went on from
dummy and MIR. Heinsite played
the deuce. This discouraging
card made Mr.. Muzzy pause in
spite Of the fact that Miss Brash
had dropped the queen.
After some thought he shifted
to his lone heart with the idea
that he might run a heart re-
turn. This would have done him
no good as he had q sure trump
winner anyway.
In any case. Miss Brash won
the heart, took three top spades.
then led to dummy's ace Of
diamonds and returned q
diamond. Mr.. Heinsite took the
second diamond and fired q club.
But it was too late.
Miss Brash ruffed and Just
barely managed to stagger home
with 10 tricks. She led good
diamonds until Mr.. Muzzy ruffed
In with his good jack of spades
After that the rest Of her hand
was good.
Just continue clubs at the
second trick and she hasn't got
o chance. Muzzy," said Mr.,
Heinsite hastily.
you've told me q thousand
times" complained Mr.. Muzzy
bitterly, that when you play q
deuce you definitely don't want
Q suit continued"
It is true that continued club
leads by the defenders would
have shortened Miss Brasn'sI
trump holding to the point where
she lost control Of the hand.
But on this one the blame lies
with Mr.. Heinsite.
With four clubs In dummy,
three in his own hand and an
overcall from his partner. Miss
Brash could not possibly have
more than one. Thus there
could be no disadvantage In con-
tinuing the suit.
In fact. Mr.. Heinsite should
have been able to see that
forcing Miss Brash to run clubs
was the only reasonable hope Of
defeating the contract. y
Even though his club holding
was worthless" he should have
encouraged continuation Of the
suit by parting with the seven
or even the ten at trick one.

full that it will be possible to increase this budget next
year in order that we may compete favorably with other
Caribbean areas for the tourist trade.
During the coming year, we are hopeful Of expanding
the Agricultural Division Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture and Labor, especially in ST Croix. This Division has
been almost imperative, due to the urgent need for funds
in more acute areas.
We have recently employed q capable veterinarian
whose services will protect and preserve the animal popu-
lation. Of our Islands, and will, at the same time, guard
our people from the ravages of rabies and other diseases
transmitted through animals. This is a very important
step forward. We expect to further implement the Labor
Division of the Department Of Agriculture and Labor to-
protect and assist the working men and women Of the Viz

should like to mention the subject Of law enforce
ment il the Virgin Islands. First. let us not forget that no
corner Of the world is void Of crime, since wherever
there are human beings, some will always vary from te
standard we call acceptable conduct. Our problem here
then, as everywhere, is to reduce the incidence OF GRIM
to a minimum-and then keep it that way. In every cate
CORY. as reflected by our statistics and uncrowded PRISONS
the Virgin Islands have been remarkably free Of serious
law-breaking, and we can be particularly proud Of our
comparative lack of crimes of violence. This. of course, IS
not to say that we do not have a continuing problem and
responsibility to lessen the incidence of crime we do have.
IT IS true that recently there has been a rash Of burglarles
and other serious breaches Of acceptable conduct which
have aroused our right-thinking citizens. We intend TO
work with our Department of Public Safety to reduce
the number of violations, always striving, naturally, for
the perfect society in which everyone would cooperate,
never infringing upon anothers rights or property. I feel
confident that with the cooperation of the public, which
is absolutely essential, we will make progress. We are
planning to expand the staff of the Police Divisiony and
can promise that every possible step will be instituteag6s
give constantly improving police service to the people of
all the Virgin Islands.
am greatly concerned about fire protection facilities
on all the Islands, and especially on ST. John. You can
rest assured that every effort will be exerted to give pro-
lection to the people Of our Islands.
Housing IS still an acute problem. We are in dire need
Of additional low-cost housing. Even though rehabilitation
is now in progress in St. Croix and St. Thomas, the need
for low-rent housing is apparent. I am sure that you are
sware Of the need for housing for the middleincome
group. Without doubt, you will give consideration to
these matters.
Due to the. limitations Of our anticipated revenues, we
regret that the Department of Tourism and Trade will not
be able to initiate an about program Of advertising the
Virgin Islands of the United States. The budget for the
Department Of Tourism and Trade is extremely low, com
pared with other Caribbean areas where the tourist dollar
IS an important aspect of the economy. We are very hope

In the second of their two
opera repertory the Fujiwara
Opera players last night pre-
sented a "Mikado" that again
proved their decided gift for
spectacles of grace and bril-
Iliance.
Against simple. effective sets.
costumes of sumptuous color
and design and movement of
supple grace and life created
an infectious enjoyment that
would have been as great had
the singers been singing nursery
rhymes and dancing "The Farm
|er in the DELL"
From a standpoint Of pure
musical sound, the evening was
almost equal to its sights, for
most of the principals sang very
well. indeed. and Maska Toda,
as Yum Yum, sang as beauti-
fully as any young singer we
have heard here in recent years.
Whether it was peculiarly Japa-
nese or not, Miss Toda'S charm
was such that she could have
been equally captivating had she
sung "The Old Oaken Bucket"
in pig latin.
The very question of language
is the company's chief stumbling
block. and a serious one it is
when it blocks the way to Gilbert
and Sullivan. I cannot be
counted among the line-quoting
fans Of G. and S., and was there
fore not shocked that there were
few if any resemblances to the
traditional interpretations of the
D'Oyly Carte company.

Atmosphere, with which he
works wonders, is made to order
for Sir Carol here. His setting is
a swarming London ghetto
street, cluttered with vegetable
stalls, cheap stores and cleaners
shops, and a wrestling gymna-
SUM.
In addition to Joe and his uni
corn, this setting is peopled with
humans who are as dramatic as
they are poor. One of the most
attractive of these is Sonia.
Diana DORIS. a girl wistfully loyal
to her strongman Adonis. It is
a winning performance Miss
DORIS gives, yet no more so than
that of Joe Robinson as the
suitor who would rather be a
poor clothes mender than a rich
wrestler.
AS the mother of the unicorn
owner, Celia johnson turns in
another affecting performance.
and David Kossoff is fine as the
pants pressing philosopher who
starts Joe on his unicorn quest.
"A Kid For Two Farthings'' is
shot in color and it is surprising
how winning a ghetto can be
made to look when Sir Carol is
taking its picture.

Where Should You Place
Insulation in Attic?

1--WE are planning to insulate
our attic before cold weather
At present, we are using the
space only for storage but even
tually we plan to build a room
there. Please tell me If we should
put the insulation in the attic
floor or between the rafters, y
w. w. A. writes.
Answer-There are two groups
of people who intend to build
rooms in attics. The answer to
your question would depend upon
which Of these two can claim
you as a member.
First. there is that small anc
exclusive circle who intend tC
build rooms in attics and who
actually do build rooms in attics
Then there is that large group
and this one includes practically
everybody else in the human
race. from the Eskimo who plans
a second floor for his igloo to
the bushman who is thinking
about expanding into the upper
branches Of his tree. Because
of one excuse or another-and
there are millions Of good ones
these people never get around to
doing the job.
For this more populous group
which manages to stall q job
until there is no need to do it,
I would recommend that they
place insulating bats between
the floor joists in the attic. II

you can wrangle the family into
helping, you should be able to
do this entire job in one day.
This method has several adj
'vantages The first cost is lower
as less insulation is required. The
smallest possible space is inclosed
and thus the efficiency of the in
Sulation is at a maximum and
the work is easy enough to stifle
all excuses. Then. one of these
years, you might get around to
building that room so that all
that would be necessary then is
to remove the insulation from
the floor beneath the new room
and place it in the ceiling.
For this job you can use either
the thick lockwood bats or the
thinner blankets that have pro-
tective paper on both sides. The
thicker bats are more efficient
than the blankets but not strictly
in proportion to their thickness.
This material is laid between
the joists with the, vapor barrier

Stucco for Foundation Wall
II would like to cover the

me directions for doing this" G.
T. P. writes.
Answer: The mortar used for
covering these blocks should be
composed Of one part by volume
of Portland cement and 3 parts
by volume of damp. loose sand.
This sand should be well graded
and suitable for stucco. One
quarter volume of hydrated lime
should be added to increase the

accordance with directions on
the can and scrape of the pro-

nitric acid on the surface. Wear
rubber gloves because this acid
can cause very serious burns. AS

do the job. The solutions are

much too dangerous for the anna

have floor busting attachments
that do the job so much better
and easier. If you care anything
about your floors, you won't put
anything on your dust mops.
The method used back in the

parts of parafiin oil and one part
turpentine with a few drops of
oil of cedar added strictly for
esthetic purposes. The mop was
saturated with this and then
hung out to dry. The trouble
with such a mop is that the oil

insulating blankets beneath the
floor by using a rope and a
trousers hanger as a clamp.
The more ambitious individual
might consider framing in this
attic room now and be that much
ahead when he starts building
the room. Since insulation must
never be installed UP to the peak
of the roof, collar beams must
be added at the height of the
new ceiling. Usually, 2x4s are
used and these are nailed be-
tween opposite rafters. The in
Isulation is nailed or stapled to

1t is highly important that suf-
flcient ventilation be provided
above this insulation. Any in
sulation that is placed between
rafters must be kept as far away
from the sheathing as possible
so that air in the caves can
escape through the lowers in
the gables. Insulation should not
be placed in the floor under this
new room.
To Prepare a Dust Mop
please tell me how to treat
a dust mop after it has been
