"The man who was playing
the South hand lost the first
two club tricks and ruffed the
third club. He led a trump to
dummy's ten and returned the
queen of hearts for finesse.
West won with the king OF
hearts and returned q trump to
dummy's ace. At this point
South was in trouble, but no
body else at the table knew 1t.
He was in the dummy for the
last time and couldn't unblock
the ace Of hearts to get q dis
card on dummy's jack Of hearts,
while he was thinking about
this he upset a glass Of water
into the lap Of the lady at his

1T all went 80 quickly that

What should we do in q
case Of this sort?"
Delicate Situation
It's q delicate situation. Ap-
parently South played dummy's
king Of clubs at the first or
second trick. This was a poor
idea, but worse was to come.
South's heart finesse was
very foolish. He should lead out
the ace and then his low heart
before touching trumps. Then
he can get to dummy with q
trump to discard O diamond
safely on the queen Of hearts.
Maybe you shouldn't invite q

all the time" says George Va.
paa, County Extension Agent.
One of the principal causes of
fatal accidents occurring on
farms is drownings, he said.
Today, there is more oppor-
tunity to drown on the farm
because farm ponds are far
more numerous.
Mr.. Vapaa, reminds farm pond
owners that it is their RESPONSE
bility to make their ponds safe.
Perhaps your farm pond should
be fenced so children can't play
there without adult supervision.
Lifesaving devices such as ring
buoys, ropes and long poles
should be placed around swim
ming areas.
Reservoirs and ponds should
be fenced as should irrigation
canals and bitches. Culverts
and inlets need protective de-
vices, too.
When planning this summers
vacation, he advises farm FAM
lilies to include safety plans and
then go all out to observe all
safety rules.

l6 Of "A Highway
Fatalities Blamed
On Alcohol, Speed

Driving while under the influ-
ence of alcohol and speeding
continued to be the leading
causes of highway fatalities in
Delaware during the first four
months of this year, the Della
ware Safety Council reported
yesterday.
Twenty-four persons lost their
lives in l8 highway accidents in
the period. Each of the acci-
dents is analyzed in a summary
of 1860 highway fatalities pre-
pared by the Council as part of
a packet of off-the-job safety
material. The material is being
sent to Della ware industrial
firms cooperating with the Coun-
Gil in promoting an ff-the-job
safety program among their en-
ployees. The program empha-
sized prevention of falls when it
started few months ago. Dur
ing the summer vacation safety
will be emphasized. The packet
contains material on highway
safety, on safe use of power
lawn mowers, on safety in out
door recreation including boat
ing, and on vacation safety in
general. Similar material is
available to other interested
groups or individuals at the
Safety Councils Office in the
Dupont Building.
The analysis of the highway
accidents shows that nine of the
"a deaths were caused primar-
lily by operating while under the
influence of alcohol. Speeding
was the primary cause of seven
of the deaths, and a secondary
cause in five other deaths. Thus,
drinking and speeding were the
primary causes of 16 out of the
"a deaths on Delaware high
ways in the four months.
Five other deaths were caused
by walking into the path of ve-
hicles. One was primarily caus-
ed by a bicycle crossing in front
of vehicle, one by driver
falling asleep and one by failure
to grant right of way to train.
A brief description of each ac-
cident situation is given in the
summary, which is based upon
police reports.
