made no difference what Mr.
Muzzy played here as the con-
tract was already doomed. He
elected to play the king and Mr..
Dale ruffed. Later he had to
lose a club and a diamond for
q one-trick set.
What were you doing while
the bidding was going on,
Muzzy?" asked Mr.. Champion.
Are you blaming me because
Dale happened to have a singleton
ciub?" replied Mr.. Muzzy. angrily
He didn't happen to have it,
Mr.. Champion shouted. HE
figured to have it and I'm blam-
ing you for not knowing it and
for not doing something about it. >
Mr.. Champion was right. Mrs
Keen, a sound bidder. had bid
clubs and then rebid them in

bids from both of her opponents.
Surely she could be counted upon
to hold six cards in the suit.

card as important as an ace.
1t could be assumed, then. that
Mrs. Keen would be able to win
the second trick with the ace
of spades and return a club for
her partner to ruff. However.
this would not endanger the con-
tract If Mr.. Muzzy won the first
trick IN his own hand with the
king of clubs. In that case,
when the club came back, he
could play the five. If Mr.. Dale
ruffed, the eight would be played
from the board. Thus Mr.. Dale
would be ruffing a low club-a
trick which had to be lost in any
case.

Editorial
IF THERE IS

IN THE COURSE Of the day, or week, or month, items
of news come and 90, some important, others with little mean
ing. During the closing days of June a news item appeared
in this paper which, like many another bit Of news, was taken
on it's face value, with little else. But that very bit of news,
might be the most important to come out OF these Islands in
several decades.
NO N yet whether uranium deposits are to
be found on Green Cay. More studies have to be conducted,
and more definite determinations made of the composition OF
rocks from which this mineral is extracted, In any event, since
science is exact, predictions would be out OF order until all
the results and findings are in.
IN THE EVENT that uranium is found in these parts
the outcome would be nothing short of wonderful Uranium
235, the basic material used in developing atomic energy is
one of the most valuable minerals in the world today, and it
sells for fabuIously high prices. While it is true that the initial
benefciaries would be the immediate and direct owners from
whom the mineral would be bought, the local government
and the entire population would benefit commensmately.
THE MINERAL, IF there is such here, has to be mined
and prepared for shipment. People would have to be en-
ployed, security measures taken and the proper channels toll
lowed in getting the material to the ultimate proper destina-
ton. All of this would mean some added employment, but in
addition certainly more taxes for the Government, and the
entire group would benefit greatly.
AS WE CONTINUE to repeat, everything depends upon
a great, big IF" If, there is uranium in the rock structure on
Green Cay, and if it is in sufficient quantity for shipment,
then all these things of which we speak will follow, but all
depends upon that first, IF"
HOWEVER, THERE IS no denying the fact that the
owners and those who are concerned, even in some remote
manner, must have had dreams and plans as to what they
would do If" this thing is a reality. And we join with them

If you've yearned to plug into
a palm tree for o cool tropical
breeze on a sweltering summer
night. don't despair that it isn't
possible. The modern electric fan
can achieve almost the same
effect these days. It's no longer
just a motor. blade and skinny
wire Frame
Designers have added useful
gadgets that will circulate more
air in less time than formerly.
What's more they've dressed the
fan up so you'd hardly know it.
It's important to follow manu-
facturer's directions to get the
most out of your fan. That way
you'll learn not only how to
choose it but how to place it
properly.
The main idea of fan cooling,
the experts say, is to evaporate
perspiration from your body. It's
the whisking away Of moisture
that cools you. You'll have that
hot. sticky feeling as long as
there is moisture on your body
and the temperature is in the
Dos and COS.
You don't want to sit directly
in front of the fan breeze. This
may give you a stiff neck. In
stead of an effect that feels like
a wind tunnel. the idea is to get
a gently circulating breeze.

Look for Sources
Home owners. experts urge,
should check both inside and
outside areas to spot moisture
sources. These may be:
On the inside: Poor ventila-
ton in the bath room, kitchen,
or laundry room; unnecessary
humidiflers; leaky plumbing: wet
Easements; lack of ventilation
in crawl spaces; lack of vapor
barriers in walls: interior paints
that offer no vapor barrier char
acteriStics; and lack of a vapor
barrier under those areas con-
structed directly over the bare
ground.
On the outside: Leaky roof I:
poor chimney flashing; lack of
attic louvres: clogged cutters or
cutters of insufficient length or
improper positioning; lack Of
corner caps: absence Of caulking
above and around windows and
door frames; poorly jointed sid
ing: poor window sill and door
sill drainge; insufficient roof
overhang, and siding which
touches the ground.

leaving a 2-inch space between
shelf and flap, and screw the
hinge in place. This spacing is
necessary so that enough of the
broom or mop handle can pro-
ject above the flap to afford a
good grip.
Attach the two end flaps. let
ting them come out flush to the
ends Of the skirt. This spacing
will allow about 9 inches Of
width for the heads of each
broom, mop, polisher. etc. The
flaps should work freely, and will
hang down fiat against the skirt
when not in use.
With the center flap folded
down, at the center of its hole
set a 1-inch round-head wood
screw into the skirt for the dust
pan. Midway between the center
flap and the two end ones, at
tach two clothes hooks, to hold
Idustrags and the like. Instead
Iof these hooks, you could bore

of 12-inch dowel rod. tilted

If the shelf hanger is to be

toned. If possible, so that two

apart. will bite into the wall

The hanger can be mounted
on the back of a closet door. If
this is done, it would be well to
provide a retainer rail. bent
from heavy wire, about 3 feet
below the shelf, to keep broom
and mop heads from swinging
Icentrifugally when the door is
opened or closed.
Also, for door mounting, you
might want to provide shelf lips
a couple of inches high, to hold
bottles and cans of cleaning ma
terials from topping when the
door swings.

PeeIing Paint

OfMoisture

Feeling and blistering of ex-
terror house paints. no longer
blamed on poor quality. actually
are serious symptoms Of even
greater troubles caused by excess
sive moisture within the home,
Experts say our changing ways
of living have created new con-
ditions and many new problems
in the modern American home
Moisture naturally builds up
in any tightly enclosed area,
such as a modern home. through
human perspiration. cooking va
pors. bath and laundry tubs,
showers. and other moisture
sources.
In former times. our homes
lacked storm sash, insulation,
and weather stripping which
now conflne moisture within the
home. Homes also are much
warmer today. permitting an
even greater amount of mois-
ture vapor to be suspended in
the air.
Problem Reversed
Just generation ago it was
important to add moisture to
the air to replace that lost
through doors, windows, and the
drying heat Of a coal furnace
Humidifying the air made the
home atmosphere more health
full. and prevented furniture and
woodwork from drying out.
Today, the problem is re-
versed. Now the problem is get
ting rid Of all the confined mois-
ture without reducing the COM
forts Of the home. Otherwise,
mildew. dry rot, plaster disinte-
grafton. and even structural fail
ures. may result.
Adequate attention to con-
trolling sources Of moisture Is
absolutely necessary to avoid
these more serious troubles
paint experts say. Attention also
must be given to external mois-
ture threats: driving rains
melting snow and ice, that seeps
into the home If it is not COM
pletely weather-proof.
Saturates Wood
Moisture that finds its way
into the inner wall area usually
condenses on the back side OF
the cooler outer wall. just as ii

|panes. 1t accumulates there
until the wood flbers are COM
pletely saturated. even to the
outer surface of the siding.
Once it penetrates the siding
moisture Immediately destroys
the adhesive characteristics OF
even the best paint coating.
Heat Of the sun aids the move
ment Of moisture towards the
siding. creating vapors of suffi-
cient pressure to blow bubbles,
called "blisters" in the paint
film.
When the blisters dry they
