Welfare Building
Plant Acclaimed
One of the Best

Incredible, fabulous, unbe-
lieveable, and out of this world
were the words heard at a pre-
view of the new facility, the DR..
Charles L. Candee Building at
the State Welfare Home. And
they are needed to describe the
building which was dedicated on
Saturday. DR.. c. ]. Prickett, SUI
perintendent, had been in charge
of arrangements for the dedi-
cation ceremonies and also for
the open house held on Sunday.
The modern building, covering
$4,000 square feet, will be used
for 1876 patients who will be
taken out of the corridors and
sun parlors of the Medical Cen
ter at the home. No feature of
a building to meet all needs and
to "give the patients total liv-
ing" to use DR.. Prickett'S
words, has been omitted, and
the beauty, dignity, and func-
tional aspects create perfection,
the highest possible degree of
excellence. Four large sections,
two for women and two for
men are built around a central
court, located just west of the
Medical Center, and with view
of Lake Como. All on one floor,
with electric doors, the needs of
old people have been carefully
considered. The use of eXtrava-
CANT adjectives are justified
when one considers the large
auditorium, with the background
of the stage in turquoise and
white, to be used for church
services, plays, and other enter
tainments. Also, a library for
reading and writing, five large
living rooms with TV, and three
large dining-rooms. Each Sec
ton also has separate lounge.
Draperies of modern materials
in varied colors add to the beau
ty of the living rooms.
Resembles Hotel
AIT facets of life are provided
for, with the spiritual side not
overlooked. There is medita-
ton room, minister's office, for

Opening lead: Nine of hearts.
East and West were two WELL
known experts. South and
North were Leonard Harmon
and Ivar Stakgold, who will be
playing in Italy soon for the
world championship.
West and East bid quite nor.
mally for the first two rounds,
although each had minimum
values for his bids. Then West
made a slam try by bidding
four diamond. This didn't show
a biddable diamond suit but
indicated a control in the suit,
either a top card or extreme
shortnesS.
Stakgold doubled with the
North hand to show his dia-
mond strength. If South be-
came the opening leader, Stalk
gold wanted a diamond lead.
In any case North saw no
harm in describing his hand.
The double was passed around
to West, who scrambled back
to the safety of four spades. He
hadn't been very serious about
the slam try anyway.
Reads Bidding
Now it was up to Harmon to
read what was going on. Clearly
his partner had length and
strength in diamonds. Nothing
else was needed for a good sac
rifice bid.
South barged into the auc-
ton with a bid of five dia-
monds. got doubled, and made
the contract. There wasn't much
TO the play. East wouldn't have
doubled if void of diamonds, so
South easily guessed the dia-
mond position. The ace Of clubs
was in favorable position, SO
Harmon lost only one club and
one spade.
Maybe this will teach East
and West to give the opponents
less information next time they
make a slam try.
Daily Question
AS dealer you hold:
AA10873 Vs6 05 %AQJ63
What do you say?
Answer: Bid one club if you
use standard bidding methods.
You will probably have a
chance to bid one spade later,
and you can rebid the spades
to show that the suit is rebid-
dable. If you promise five-card
majors with your opening bid,
however. open with one spade.

someone else either more or less
radical than Mr.. Khrushchev. On
the other hand. as Mr.. Eisen-
