JULY

THIS is the good old summer time.
In the far-off, mysterious regions
of our universe, planets and stars
have wheeled into ordained positions
and brought the solstice. Time, in
terms of the annual cycle, has al
ready started down the long slide to
autumn. But Nature is still near the
height of lushess, and steady warmth
plus many hours of sunlight are push
ing crops toward maturity.

and scraggly fog fingers stretch

"Best Is Yet To Come"

So many folks when they reach their fies say that the
best years of life are behind them To this cannot agree
have always felt that the best days are ahead when one
reaches the years fifty Other folks wont to say
that the best times business for living for enjoyment
were during past forty To this also cannot agree
have faith that coming twenty forty period will
be much better
like forget the past. like to look ahead to new
things like develop that which like to visualize
fare activities like build the future and plan to build
for the future just as long as live.
There are great days ahead for those who are willing
to venture willing work. willing to keep youthful view
point and willing to admit that the best days are always
possibilities for beerment in my business in public well
ahead
The best part of life is the part have yet to live.

A TINY BABY RABBIT, whose
mother apparently met with misfor-

dog or cat, wandered into the Travis

rats and hamsters along with more
ordinary pets in her menagerie, and
just happened to have a vacant ham,

wandered away recently.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

The Russians launched their
promised second earth satellite,
containing a dog. The idea, OF
course, is to learn from the
physiological reactions of the
dog just what the effects on
humans are likely to be when
they hurtle through space. Wits
have already named the new
satellite "Muttnik."
Assuming, for purposes OF
this wholly unscientific inquiry
that canine life exists in outer
space, would you agree that the
mutt on Muttnik could COM
municate with other dogs he
might find on other planets?
That would seem logical for, as

low Cor moo identically in all
of the 1O3 countries of the
world. No translator is needed
for a Boston bull to talk to q
French poodle as far as I'm
aware"
Yes, it sounds logical that
animals should use the same
sounds to communicate. But,
at least to writers and speakers
of the various languages of the
world, the sounds of animal
talk vary greatly from country
to country. Charles Berlitz OF
the language school which
bears his name is uncommonly

and dialects of the worlds
peoples. I asked him to tel
what common domestic animals

The dog in America, Of
course, says "bow-wow" but his
French cousin says "wah-wah.
spanish pups say "goo-wow,'
while the Russian dog growls
I''how-how."
An Am erican pig says
1"oink," but in France he says
"grwahng." in Spain "troo" and
lin Russia ''hroo-hroo." The
properly reared American COW
says moo" but in France she
says "meuh," in Spain "mu'
and in Russia likewise "mu."
Mice are really pesky trouble
makers, though. They APP

monds he would pass. If she
raised to two spades he would
take his chances there. If she
bid three spades or three hearts
he would try three no-trump.
Mrs. Keens actual rebid was
two diamonds, which became
the final contract and was
made without difficulty.
In deciding on the one-spade
response, Mr.. Dale's reasoning
went something like this: It's
better to lie a little about your
suit than to lie about the over
all strength of your hand. This
sentiment has my full indorse-
ment.

Opening lead: Diamond nine.
What would you do with Mr..
Dale's hand in today's deal?
His partner opened the bidding
with a heart. The books say
Mr.. Dale's hand is too strong
to pass, so that's out.
The books also say he shouldn't
bid a spade because his spade
suit is not strong enough to
qualify as biddable. Neither
can he bid two clubs or two
diamonds because he does not
have enough high-card strength
for a two-over-one response. A
bid of one no-trump with a

then? The answer is that he
has no good bid available, no
bid which does not run some
chance of misleading partner.
He had only a choice of bad
bids-and that is where the
good Judgment comes in. He
must choose the bad" bid
which is least likely to mislead
partner and therefore least
likely to land the partnership

I think Mr.. Dale made the
best choice. He bid one spade

RED TIARA, FEZ
CAUSE CONFUSION
AT WHITE HOUSE

The way to do yourself
out Of a glass of wine at
the White House state din
ner in honor of the King of
Morocco last evening was
to wear a red headdress!
The visiting Monarch and
members of his party do
not partake of alcoholic
beverages and so were
served orange juice during
the meal for toasting pur-
poses.
Repeatedly the way the
walters figured out who was
strictly an orange juice
man and who was not was
by the red fezzes worn by
the King and party.
All was well until q
waiter spotted the red
tiara worn as part of her
dress uniform by Col. Julia
Hamblet, head Of the Wom-
en- Marines. With no more
thought he served her only
with the orange juice.
This caused much amuse-
ment by those seated near
the pretty colonel. Gen.
Twining, who was two
places away. however, came
to her rescue and tipped of
the waiter that to date
wine drinking has not be-
come taboo in the Marine
Corps.
Incidentally. Mrs. Twi-
ming was unable to attend
the dinner as she had un-
dergone a major operation
earlier in the day at Walter
Reed Hospital.

Nixon Subs us Host
At White House Fete
By SELMA ROOSEVELT

The King of Morocco
stepped up his pace today
on his state visit to Wash
ington.
Following a noon appoint
ment with AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany at the
labor federation headquar-
tiers, he was the guest of
honor at a luncheon given
by the Chief Justice Of the
United States. The event
took place at the Supreme
Court.
Scarcely an hour before the
White House state dinner for
the King Of Morocco got
under way last night Presi-
dent Eisenhower was ordered
to bed by his doctors.
Although the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Nixon have
acted as hosts to state visitors
in place of President and
Mrs. Eisenhower following
the Presidents heart attack,
1t was the first time Mr..
Nixon took on a presidential
role in the White House.
The Vice President acted
as host even to escorting
Mrs. Eisenhower into the
dining room and reading the
prepared toast to the visit
ing monarch that the Presi-
dent had planned to deliver.
Mr.. Nixon had had no
time to go over the toast
and 1t was reported that he
stumbled a couple of times
over the text. Mrs. Nixon
was overheard to remark
that her husband was going
to have to give in and wear
glasses.
Many Of the guests, arriving
at the Executive Mansion at
8 p.m.-the men festively at
tired in white tie and the
women in their finest dresses
and jewels-learned on their
arrival that the President was

stead of the usual
"Ruffles and Flourishes" and
Hail to the Chief" which
signals the appearance of the
President and his honored
guests, Marine Band Leader
Schoppel and his relocated
musicians substituted a strong
drum roll, followed by Souza's
famous march, STARS and
Stripes Forever"
y
THE SEATING at dinner
was hastily rearranged so
that in the four chairs of
honor at the head" of the
E-shaped table were Mrs.
Eisenhower with the King
of Morocco on her right and
the Vice President on her
