Opening lead: -Four of hearts.
West opened the four of
hearts and South won in his
hand with the king. He felt sure
that East held six-card suit
for the overcall, which meant
that Vests opening lead was a
singleton.
With some vague idea of dis
carding a heart, South imme-
diately cashed the king of dia-
monds and led another diamond
to dummy's ace. East grate-
fully ruffed and led a heart for
West to ruff. West happily led
another diamond and East
ruffed with the ace Of trumps.
Now East led another heart and
Vests queen of spades took
the setting trick.
The defenders later got a
club trick and South was down
two at a cold contract. All be-
cause he tried to stop a heart
ruff that couldn't be stopped.
Should Lead Trump
South should lead a trump
at the second trick. West plays
low and declarer should finesse
dummy's nine. East surely has
the ace of spades for his over
call, so nothing can be gained
by playing dummy's king of
trumps.
East wins the second trick
with the ace of spades and re-
turns a heart for West to run.
This is the ruff that cannot be
prevented. but the rufflng stops
right then. Vests best con-
tinuation is a club. through
dummy's strength. Declarer
takes the ace Of clubs, draws
the last trump, and gives up
one club sooner or later. He
loses two trump tricks and a
club. but still makes his game
contract.

River Development
Plans Are Rejected

Apparently, communities, like
individuals, get very little for moth
ing. Towns along the North Branch
Of the Potomac River, which have
been hoping for cooperation from
Washington for development of
water resources, are out of luck.
Any wishful thinking that the
pressure for the proposed pro-
gram would come from the Wash
ington area was quashed by ID. v.
c. Birrell, Chief of the Potomac
River Survey being conducted by
the Corps of Engineers during a
planning meeting held recently in
Cumberland by officials of the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River basin.
He said the water from the
North Branch of the Potomac
River represents only about 10
per cent of Washington's water
supply.
An interim report on the North
Branch, designed to meet the
areas needs for the next so years,
was outlined last fall at a COM
mission meeting at Blackwater
Falls.
The heart of the plan are dams
on the North Branch of the Poto-
mac "a miles above the junction
of the Savage River, one on Stony
River and a third on the Savage
River 35 miles above the present
Savage River dam.
Control of floods on the North
Branch, the report said, would
prevent flood damage from Luke
to above Cumberland and remove
from flood hazards some 1900
acres of land suitable for industrial
development.
More land could be made suit
able for industry with only minor
improvements by land or levees,
the report said.

gether and formed a little

A lawyer friend drew up a le-
gal agreement which was
signed by all and registered
at the county seat. 1t said,
in effect, that an artesian
well was to be dug. a pump
and pressure tank installed
properly housed and a
main supply line placed so
that each owner could be
supplied with water.
The agreement also stated
that no owner (his heirs or
assigns) could ever prevent
another owners supply line
from crossing his property as
specified on a simple diagram.
Another proviso was that the
water "is to be for household
use"--this to prevent gallons

It seems reasonable to sup

could be located at some
point near the center. then
such an idea might be carried

II have some badly bat
tered bedroom furniture that
I want to redecorate. 1t is
supposed to be some sort OF
French period design, so /
was wondering about the pos
sibility of painting it in a
manner that is sometimes
called French provincial. II
you think this is not too much
of a Job for me, how is it
done?" Mrs. S. S. A. writes.
Answer-Take any old bat =
tered furniture, paint it, high
light the carvings, tell your
friends it is French provin-
cial and they will rave over
it as if you had a roomful OF
genuine Hepplewhite. 1t is
Just marvellous what a can
of paint and a little effort
will do.
This is Just about the east
est furniture refinishing job
Imaginable. If you have ever
used a paint brush with any
degree of success, here is a
way really to display your
talent. If the old finish is
smooth, sandpaper it down
some, and apply the new fin7
ish over it. If 1t is scratched
and Clipped, as most likely 1T
will be, you should remove
this finish with a chemical
paint remover.
Follow directions on the
label for the use OF the re-
mover. The only thing that
we can add is to suggest that
you use steel wool on rounded
surfaces and in carvings, and
thoroughly wash away all
traces of the remover after
the varnish is of. Any re-
mover left on the surface will
keep the paint from drying.
You will need white gloss
enamel. enamel undercoater,
a small can of drop black
color, a bottle of high-quality
gold paint and one Of those
spray cans of clear finish. A
quart each of the enamel
and undercoater should be
enough for two or three pieces
Of bedroom furniture.
After the old finish is re-
moved, sandpaper the wood
thoroughly, starting with
No. 0 garnet paper and fin
ishing with No. 40. Fill any
dents or Clipped areas with
wood putty, and sandpapel

Answer.-This skin forms
because oxygen in the air
trapped inside the can when
it was sealed, oxidizes the
surface paint in the can. You
can prevent this happening
by transferring unused paint
to smaller cans that are filled

these smooth when the putty
has hardened. Wood putty
is q powder that is mixed
with water. Be sure that the
surface is smooth before you
proceed to paint.
Thin about a teaspoonful
of the drop black with a
little turpentine. Add this
gradually to the undercoater
until it is the desired color.
Do the same thing with the
enamel. The color should be
a pale gray. Apply the un-
dercoater to the furniture,
brushing out all says. Allow
it to dry thoroughly so that
when sanded, the paint
comes off as a powder.
Now, sand it down with
No. 40 garnet paper ana
brush off all dust. If the
surface is not thoroughly
covered or if imperfections
show through, apply a Sec
ond coat. The enamel is now
applied in the same manner.
The finish goes on smoother
If you work in a warm room.
Allow the enamel to dry for
not less than two days.
The gold paint is used for
highlighting carvings and
molding. Select the areas
that you want to use it on,
apply the paint and then
wipe it of before it dries.
If you confine the gold to
the edges of the furniture,
YOU will have a better look
ing job than If you use 1t too
enthusiastically. After the
gold paint is dry. a light
spray of the clear finish over
the gold will protect it from
wear.
