Opening lead: Ace Of spades.
The answer was that Mr..
Dale's pass after Mr.. Muzzy'S
flve-spade bid was absolutely
forcing on Mr.. Masters. who
was expected either TO double
or to go on in his sides agreed
suit. hearts.
This is how to recognize a
forcing pass: Your side has
been bidding vigorously and II
is clear that you hold substan-
TALLY more in high cards than
the opposition. You and your
partner know that you are
headed for a good-sized profit.
AS the auction progresses an
opponent puts in a bid which
can be spotted as an attempted
sacrifice. What to do?
If you feel certain you have
the right answer, go ahead and
double or bid further in your
own agreed suit, as the makeup
Of your hand warrants. If you
are in doubt, however. there is
no need to guess. Simply pass
and leave it up to your part
ner.
1t would be absurd for him
to pass in this situation. He
knows his side has control of
the hand. II he feels it would
be dangerous to bid further he
must double regardless of his
holding in the opponents bid
suit.
In today's hand Mr.. Dale
knew five spades could be de-
feated. But a double by him
would have been something of
a warning to his partner that

Review of the Play
BY MARY JANE SCHUNCKE


Janus, a sophisticated comedy
about a pedantic husband and an
imaginative wife who collaborated
on best selling novels opened the
fourth season of the Garrett Coun-
ty Playhouse Tuesday night Had
the husband and wife been married
to one another the play would
not have been nearly so amusing.
The plot was further complicated
by a confused tax collector and a
Supplied husband.
The first night audience howled
with delight at the cleVcrly written
play by Carolyn Green-a good
recommendation for any playgOer
who enjoys a light amusing eve
ming.
Helen Page Camp returned to
the Playhouse with a convincing
portrayal of Jess, the adventurous
wife. Her performance carried the
show through a series of hilarious
twists of fate, but was possibly
only surpassed by her amazing
mimicry of Margaret Sullivan,
who played the role in the Broad
way version.
An especially professional job
was done by DeAnn Mears in the
role of Miss Addy the literary
agent whose only love was money.
Miss Mears whose roll was COM
paratively small managed to por-
tray the career woman so wildly
that he short appearances in stage
mace a lasting impression.

the ship-owning husband who in
nocently walks into a double night
mare, was highly amusing. His

certingly young most of the time
to be completely convincing.

Ropid Learners

CXTEEN women, members of the So
y called Suburban Area Study Group, have
performed prodigious amount of work and
at the same time, a unique public service in
their committee study of the curriculum
needs of rapid learners.
Their conclusions and recommendations
are set forth in 41-page document with
each section of the report divided into back
ground material covering practices in Amer
lean schools and data received from COM
prehensive interviews with members of the
county school staff
Parents, as the report points out, are
increasingly aware of the high percentage
of bright children in the schools. And they
are increasingly articulate in their concern
about the educational development of these
children,
A rapid learner who learns with ease
and speed is left with time on his hands in
the classroom. AS a result, he gets into
mischief or he daydreams. He dislikes rou-
tine drill and repetition, the report en-
phasizes, and when this is required of him
beyond the point where he already knows
and understands he may respond by disk-
ing the subject, the teacher, and the formal
process of learning. The report continues:
''The rapid learner does, then, have
special educational needs. He needs recog-
milton and approval at his own level of capac-
ity He needs opportunities to use his tai
ents fully. He needs realistic goals toward
which to work. He needs to learn how to
work hard; how to plan and dig for himself.
He needs to learn to regard his intelligence
and capacity for leadership as social re-
sponsibility, to be tolerant, and to be self
critical"
This is the kind of language that some
one should have come up with long time
ago. 1t sounds, we hope, a new call to do
something about this major area of respon-
sbility that has been slighted for so long.
The work that has been done by our
public schools to improve the lot of the slow
learner and the retarded has been all to the
good. 1t is highly proper for our public
schools to gear themselves primarily to serve
the average student But for some years
now time and money has been found to make
possible extra effort to help the slow learner
It's time we started putting more extra eff
fort into helping the fast learners who, by
the way, are the leaders of the next gen.

He didn't realize II, but when the company
cepted his money, he was lucky Insurance com.
panies are not too eager to insure people whose
licenses have been revoked They are not the
best kind of risks.
And now John Doe sat back to see what
would happen next. He'd asked everyone he
knew how his license would be restored to him.
Some told him that as soon as he paid for the
insurance his new license would be automatically
mailed to him. An ex-State policeman told him
he thought all he would have to take was an
eye test. Someone even told him he would have
to take complete examination just as if he had
never had license to drive. John Doe didn't
believe he'd have to do that
And now the fireworks going to begin
for John Doe
week after he had mailed his applica-
tiOn for insurance he received a letter from
the Department of Motor Vehicles, enclosing
a card which was to be filled out and
nOtariZed. He would have to take full and
complete test as check his ability to
drive a car. He instructed to bring the
letter and the card he had received with
him when he reported for examination.
John Doe took stock of himself after the
first shock of having to take complete examna-
ton had worn off He had no doubt but that
he could pass the examination with flying colors.
He certainly knew how to drive a car he was
adept at parking it, he knew Cor thought he
knew most of the rules of the road He had
only minor misgivngs on his visual acuty
1t CALLED John Doe that he would be forced
to have licensed operator drive his car to the
place of examination But when he thought it
over he realized that this was the only way it
could possibly be done. John Doe didn't have
a license to drive.
Fortunately, he had very good friend who
was willing to drive for him.
And thus it was that on beautiful morning,
his hopes high John Doe arrived at the examina.

Age Of chivoIry?

THE age of chivalry, it is plain to see, is
not yet dead. County Manager M. L.
Reese made this abundantly clear at the regu-
lar meeting of the county council on Tues
day.
Our august county heads were solemnIy
celebrating weighty matters of government
when the matter of appointing several new
employees - fire dispatchers social workers,
public health nurses, and the like-came up
AS our county's chivalrous top admin
istratiye official recounted the details of the
selection of these public servants to the
elected councilmen, he urged the minions of
the press to refrain from publishing the ages
OF the ladies that were being appointed to
the various jobs. Some ladies had objected
When this happened in the past he explained.
So once again the newsmen were con-
fronted with their perpetual dilemma: to pub
llsh the information or to withhold it. Is
1t In the public interest to report that the
social worker is AZ? Is the public entitled
to know that she amt no spring chicken?
What happens say when the distaff ap-
pointee is 21, unmarried and pretty? Should
the public be told? Or should this inforna-
ton be suppressed? Should an iron curtain
OF agelessness fall between all women ap-
pOintees and the people they are to serve?
Could perhaps, a conference of all women
employees be called for the purpose of agree
ing upon what ages could be published?
Perhaps we could arrive at the figure of
n years. Everything under that is publish
able? Everything over that is verboten? Did
the chivalrous manager hold plebescite of
all his distaff employees and was there, as
a result, mandate to WITHHOLD? Is he
sure that there are not, perhaps, a few wom-
en- who just don't care
Could, perhaps system be set up
whereby rubber stamp could be used to
inform the press in which cases it would
"Okay to Publish?" Or conversely, do Not
Publsh?"
These are important questions vital to
the continued good health of our community.
Obviously much more light needs to be shed
on this whole question

Rodeo 'CrueIty'

AS a resident of Montgomery
County, l feel I have the right
to at least express my thoughts
on a matter which surely needs
a helping hand.
At the recent Montgomery
County Fair held in Gaithersburg,
/ and a number of my neighbors
and friends attended the rodeo
that was a feature of the fair. /
noticed and also my friends ex-
pressed indignation at the cruel
and brutal treatment which was
given to the horses, calves, steers
and bulls connected with the ro-
deo.
If there is anything that you or
anyone else can do to prevent
this rodeo from being scheduled
in the fair next year, it certainly
would be an act of human kind
ness, for no doubt what they do
in other states than Maryland is
something we cannot control. /
or my friends would be very glad
to write further letters or do any
thing we can to try to prevent
the owners of the rodeo from U.S.
ing their animals cruelty. Any
thing you can do will be truly ap-
preciated.

and say it? The issue is wheth.
er or not dam is going to be
built on the Potomac, specifically,
at River Bend, above Great Falls.
The promoters of the park
bill have testified that they op-
pose a dam now, or any time in
the future. The people who OPP
pose the bill, for the most part,
have said that impoundment of
the flood waters of the Potomac
in the Spring is going to be nec-
essary within a relatively few
years If we are to dilute the sew
age enough to drink it during
summer dry months.
Whether you're for or against
dam, let's not let the birds and
bees approach obscure the issues.
Conrad Wirth, director of the Ma
tional Park Service, testified this
week that the improvements to
the canal could be carried on in
exactly the same way under its
present status as under national
park status. The only difference,
he said, would be to set up the
canal area as "a separate entity"
So why not go ahead with the
improvements and not foreclose
the full use of the river in future
by marking off a national park.
Once that is done, any fool who
proposes a dam that will flood
part of a national park can ex-
pect to have his head chopped
Off

ing are fine, but what's wrong

sibly even around the lake.

c CHOOLS will open next Thursday. AS
- usual, there are about 5000 extra kids to
take care of. But this has been going on for
so long now,it's old stuff to the school board.
And old stuff to the taxpayers. We just hope
everyone doesn't get to blase about this real
ly extraordinary state of affairs. Both school
board and taxpayers should not forget for
minute that there is an extra responsibility
on all concerned to make the school system
work with maximum efficiency. It's easy to
stand on the sideines and criticize. It's an
other thing to work at solving our school
