With the ace Of hearts and
two club honors turning up in

ing the contract appeared bleak
indeed.
Mr.. Dale thought his partner
might be able to win a trick in
either hearts or clubs and, of
course, one spade winner al
ready had been taken.
To pick up the setting trick,
Mr.. Dale decided to try the
play known as the uppercut.
He knew both Mr.. Abel and
Miss Brash were out of spades,
and If Mr.. Abel could ruff a
second spade high enough to
force a top diamond honor
from Miss Brash's hand, then
his jack Of diamonds would
eventually be a winner.
His partner might not ruff a
high spade lead, so at track TWO
Mr.. Dale carefully led the
deuce of the suit. Mr.. Abel
rose to the occasion and ruffed
in with the ten Of diamonds.
This was a fine defensive ma
neuver, but Miss Brash coun-
tered with a good play Of her
own. She refused to overruff
and instead discarded her six
of hearts, which was a loser
anyway.
She won the queen Of hearts

SAVING WATER RESOURCES

To The Editor:
On behalf of the North Carolina
Board of Water Commissioners, l
would like to take this opportunity
to thank you for your contribution
to water conservation in the State
during 1857.
We believe great strides have
been made toward the development
of a forward-looking program for
the wise use and conservation of
North Cardinals generally bounti-
full water resources. Since the ba-
sic ingredient of this program is a
well-informed public we feel that
you, can take justifiable pride in
the accomplishments of the past
year.
Our task in 1858 will be to trans
form this store of information
from cold facts to effective action.
We solicit your continued coopera-
ton in our efforts to attain this
goal; for we are confident that,
with your assistance, the coming
year will be one of achievement in
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1957-12-20

TOO MANY GLASSES
cause ACCIDENTS
DURING HOLIDAYS

Chicago.-Holiday drivers were
warned today that glasses have a
dangerous effect on vision. That
is, if they've been emptied several
times.
The warning comes from the
National Safety Council, which
says the throttle and the bottle are
big factors in the Christmas holt
day traffic toll.
Social drinkers, because of the
stepped up festivity of the season,
present a greater traffic hazard
than at any other time of the year,
the Council said.
In a special study of Sol fatal
Christmas holiday accidents, which
killed 600 persons, the Council
found drinking drivers were in
volved in So per cent of the acct
dents. At other times of the year
they are involved in about 80 per
cent.
Men were driving in "a per cent
of the accidents studied. In 80 per
cent of the accidents only one per-
son was killed. Almost four out of
five victims were men, and these
were mostly drivers.
The most common type of acct
dent was collision between two OF
more cars. Next in order were non
collision, pedestrian, and fixed OBJ
ject collisions.
The most common driver action
contributing to fatal accidents was
driving on the wrong side of the
road or in the center Of the road
Failure to observe signal or stop
sign was second. Mechanical failure
or tire blowouts were mentioned in
only four of the accidents studied
In launching its annual Christ
mas safety campaign, the Council
said the nation may have a safer
and happier Christmas this year if
drivers will exert little extra care
and caution. The traffic trend is
encouraging. During the first nine
months of the year traffic deaths
dropped 8 per cent from the same
period for the previous year a
saving of 800 lives.
"If this rate of improvement can
be maintained the rest of the
year." the Council said, "more than
1000 lives can be saved on the
highway in 1857. But the Christ
mas holidays will be the decisive
factor"

HINT GIVEN FOR FARMERS
OF RETIREMENT AGE

Some self-employed farmers who
have reached retirement age, or
who will reach it before the end
of this year, may find it to their
advantage to file a claim for old
age insurance benefits before the
end of December, w. w. Thomas,
district manager of the New Bern
social security office, said today.
These are farmers who because
of floods, drought, or other adverse
weather conditions, will have low
er income in 1857. 1t applies espe-
cially to some farm landlords who
started to have their income from
rentals count toward social secur-
ity beginning with 1866, by mater
lily participating in the production
Of crops or livestock on their land
which they leased out to someone
else.
Generally, it is necessary to wait
until the close of year to have
net earnings for the year credited
to social security account and
used in figuring a benefit amount.
For 1857 only, if a claim is filed
before the end Of the year, one-half
of the total earnings for the year
can be used in figuring the benefit
amount. Where 1857 earnings are
lower than those for 1856, this
could result in higher benefit
amount. If the farmer should wait
until 1858 to file his claim he
would lose the advantage of this
type Of calculation. In case it turns
out that total earnings for the
