AZ All Pass
Opening lead: Diamond king.
West opened thesking of dia-
monds and cashed the ace Of
diamonds in spite Of his part
ner's discouraging card at the
first trick. West then shifted
to a low spade.
Declarer put UP dummy's
queen and East played the
king. South took the ace of
spades and led out the ace Of
trumps. This was the moment
for East to spring one of the
Oldest chestnuts in the game.
He dropped the queen OF
trumps instead Of the jack.
South Goes Wrong
South wondered II the queen
Of hearts was an honest SINGLE
ton or a false card. "A begin
ner would play the jack from
OIL" South ruminated. "A
mediocre player would try to
fool me by playing the queen
A fine player would double
cross me by playing the Jack
A superine player would triple
cross me by playing the queen.
South got so interested In
this speculation that he over
looked the fact that a trump
f1nesse was quite ridiculous
The right play is to take t.--
king Of hearts, ruff a club and
discard dummy's losing spade
on the queen Of diamonds
Then South can afford to lose
q trump. assuming that the
trumps fail to break.
Instead, South decided To
finesse the trumps. East won
with the jack Of hearts and
cashed a spade trick. defeating
the contract.
There's no denying that South
played the hand badly. Never
theless give East credit for
nudging South in the wrong d.
rection.

Solicitors Map
Boy Scout Appeal;
Price To Direct
Local Activity

AT final organizational meet
ing held Tuesday night in the
parish house of ST. Peters
Church, plans were announced
to begin door-to-door solicita-
tion to raise funds for Boy
Scout activities in this area.
Solicitations will begin Satur-
day, August % and end Sun
day, August 80, at which time
it is hoped that the campaign
will be entirely completed. The
meeting was attended by How
ard Christy, regional represen-
tative for the Delmarva Coun-
Gil, Boy Scouts of America.
Warner w. Price, Jr., local area
chairman, presided, and the
meeting was attended by mai
ors and captains of the two
local teams of solicitors. One
team is headed by George Bry-
son, with the following captains
assisting: Rodney S C h u m n,
Francis ]. O'Neill, Jr., Norman
G. Wilder, and Henry T. Price.
Howard T. Quillen heads the
other team with the following
captains: William H. Willis,
Samuel Moore, Donald Knotts,
Karl Gebhart, and G. Richard
Price. Captains of each team
will have an average of five
workers helping them so that
the entire campaign will repre-
sent the efforts of more than
fifty local citizens. All funds
solicited in this area will be re-
tanned for use on the Delmarva
Peninsula to cover administra-
tive costs throughout the local
Boy Scout and Cub Scout ac-
tivities. 1t is estimated that the
average cost per boy in Cub or
Boy Scout activities exceeds $50
per year, all of which is raised
annually through public sub
scription. Presently the Del
Mar-Va Council includes on its
roster a total of 1928 boys in
$50 units, which operate under
the guidance of 5,574 devoted
volunteer leaders, all carefully
selected and trained in scout
ing techniques. The movement
is a community force that mer-
its your financial and moral

Army Engineers
Begin Demolition
OF Ship In Canal

Demolition of an acid barge
that sank in the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal last January
was begun this week, according
to announcement by US. Army
engineers. The 20O-foot craft,
owned by Olin Mathieson Co.,
will be dismantled by dynamite
and by saving. 1t rests on the
bottom of the north side of the
canal, about l,500 feet west of
the St. Georges bridge, blocking
about one-third of the canal. A
red buoy marks the location of
the vessel, which is not visible
at high tide. At the time the
barge sank, it contained a cargo
of acid, but engineers believe
much of it has been washed out.
Ice cakes are believed to have
opened up the seams of the
steel-hulled vessel during the
winter months. AS the acid
barge is blown apart, the pieces
will be hauled ashore on the
bank of the canal. 1t will not be
necessary to close the waterway
during the operations, the en-,
gineers said. Cost of the canal
clearing job will be paid by the
government.

Firemen C0mbing
Town, Rural Area
For Fund Support

Fred F. Harris, Jr., president
of the Citizens Hose Company,
is heading the committee now in
charge of conducting the annual
drive for funds, with volunteers
at work on contracting 1900 res
idents of the district served by
the local fire company. Letters
were mailed to all in the district,
which covers the northern part
of Kent County and reaches in
to lower New Castle County, a
week before the start of the
drive. Crews leave the fire house
nightly at 6:l5 pm. on fire
trucks to visit residents of the
town, and other teams are can
vassing the rural areas. Mr.. Har-
ris is assisted in arrangements
by Thomas c. Mulligan, Jr. and
Richard Jones. An innovation
this year is the gift of a colorful
fire safety calendar, which con-
tains section for residents to
insert important telephone num-
bers, such as those of the fire
department, hospitals, police,
and doctors. The calendar starts
with the month of October with
large block letters emphasizing
Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10.
On the reverse of each calendar
month are found information
with graphic red drawings of
hints for a "fire-safe house," in
cluding construction for fire
stopping barriers. These may be
made during construction of a
new house, and can also be in
serted in existing homes. Other
topics covered are clothing;
special hazards at Christmas
time; thawing frozen water
pipes, with recommended pro-
cedures; also, fire precautions
when in a hotel; safe keeping of
important records; hints when
trapped by fire; controlling fire
in the open; protection against
lightning; a safety quiz; hazards
of combustible roofs; advice
when fire strikes; prevention
from spreading; and fighting a
small fire safely. A special ef-
fort will be made to present a
calendar to anyone not receiving
one. Mr.. Harris points out that
costs for the fire company have
kept pace with the initiation spir-
al, and urges all to contribute
generously to their volunteers.

house, with Fletcher Truax at
