Opening lead: Ten Of clubs.
Left to his own devices,
South would go down at four
hearts. The bad trump break
would cause him to lose two
trump tricks, and he would also
lose a spade and a diamond.
A good player wouldn't really
lose a spade trick. He would
try a club finesse in the hope
Of getting three club tricks and
thus discarding a spade. But
the normal club fineSse would
lose to East's queen, so South
would lose a club instead Of a
spade.
Helpful Lead
All Of this is altered when
West helpfully opens the ten
Of clubs. South can finesse
dummy's jack without risk, for
when East plays the queen
South can win with the ace.
Declarer next leads q trump
to the ace, discovering the bad
news when East fails to follow
suit. The situation is grave,
but not hopeless. South has a
new and different club finesse
to try.
Declarer gets to his hand
with the ace of spades and
leads the eight Of clubs. West
plays low, and South lets the
eight ride as a finesSe against
the nine. When this finesse
works, South is home.
<Declarer reaches the dummy
with the ace of diamonds, dis
cards spade on the king of
clubs. and gives UP a diamond.
He can later ruff a diamond in
dummy to make sure Of the
contract.

What do you say?
Answer: Bid one spade. Keep
your fingers crossed, for If your
partner rebids his hearts, you
may be in trouble. You must
take this risk, however, since
your hand may be good for a
game in some other suit and
you would lose this game if you
passed the opening bid Of one
heart.

Modern classroom teaching
does not preclude individuality

Aside from her teaching ca

the Baptist Church of Rockville,
where she has amassed an even

instructed Sunday school stu

She held that job for 10 years
before going to Bethesda Ele-

After two years at the school,
Mrs. Howes was made principal
of the Montrose school. The
school was built in 1904 and
has three classrooms, library
and a cafeteria.
Looking back over her long
career, Mrs. Howes recalled that
her starting salary As years ago

janitor was paid $3.50 a month.

George Beall Howes, now ap-
preaching her 10th year as a

She has been principal of the
little Montrose Elementary
School near Rockville for 80
years and still follows her firm,
fair and friendly way with her
70 sub-teen charges.

discipline and start working
and you won't have any be-
haviOr problem s." Mrs.
H0wes believes.
While she refuses to allow
herself to be called a "disci-
plinarian," and although she
has never used her prerogative
to spank her pupils, Mrs. Howes
brooks no back talk.
She remembers with distaste
the day pupils father brought
a stick to school and asked her
to apply it to his errant sons
backsides. "Give them lots of
reading and direction and you'll
never need to punish children"
she said.
Mrs. Howes was the recipient
last week of the coveted "Out-
standing Citizenship Award"
from Camp No. 4, District of
Columbia Woodmen of the
World. The handsome bronze
and wood plaque was given to
her in surprise ceremonies at
the regular Montrose P-TA
meeting. Other recipients in the
past included Lindberg and the
late Sen. Taft.

Avery and was raised at Aspen,

She recalls wildly using the
old streetcar that came out to

Although she never got de-

was told by then Superintendent
Of Schools, DIR. Edwin C.
Broome, that she had far more
educational schooling than most
teachers today.
Aspen Elementary School

taught all seven grades and
served as principal. Many of her

Eskimo Education
Funds Proposed
By pioneer Pete

The Pioneer Pete Eskimo Edu-
cation Fund, a plan developed to
help Eskimos get a college educa-
ton has been proposed by Victor
Rovier of the Pioneer Pete In
surance Agency. The fund is being
backed by the Alaska National
Guard Officers Assn. and Col.
Charles Casper, is appealing to
officers of all units of the organi-
cation to get behind the project
so that the goal objective of $780,
900 may be reached,
The fund will be administered
by a non-profit corporation, in
corporated under Alaska Law.
Arrangements are being made,
stated Casper, with the University
of Alaska, Alaska Methodist Uni
versity, the Bureau of Indian At
fairs and others. Students will be
nominated by village councils.
These, students upon gradua-
ton, will repay the fund for the
amount borrowed to get through
college. They will also agree to
return to the villages for the
same number of years as spent
under the program. This will not
be a charity program. 1t will af-
ford some of these people college
educational opportunity.
"To us, in the National Guard,
the impact of this program, alone,
is worth every effort we can
make toward it's success" said
Col. Casper.

Noted Baritone Singer
Passes Away in Calf.

Death caused by cancer has
silenced the deep, rich voice of
baritone John Charles Thomas,
So, one of Americas most beloved
singers.
The barrel-chested star of
opera, concert stage and radio
died at his home yesterday. Ill
for months with intestinal cancer,
the singer had spent his last days
in coma.
Although still widely sought for
concert appearances, Thomas re-
tired from the circuit in 1858.
Since 1854 he and his wife,
Dorothy, had lived in this desert
community northeast of Los An
geles.
His big, booming voice became
familiar to millions between 1912
and 1947 when he sang regularly
over the National Broadcasting
Co. radio network. He habitually
signed off his program with the
words, Good Night, Mother
a reference to his singer mother,
Anna Dorothea Schnabel Thomas.

POSTPONE SHOT INTO
THE MOON ORBIT

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R-
Technical trouble today forced at
least a one-day postponement of
an attempt to launch an American
space craft toward an intended
orbit about the moon.
The 338-pound space craft is
intended to become the first lunar
satellite. Its load of electronic
equipment is designed to make
the most extensive study yet at
tempted of the moons environ
ment.
The countdown on the 98-foot
AtlaS-Able booster rocket pro-
crossed to within seven minutes of
the scheduled lift-off time today
when the attempt was called off.
Scientists had only 21-minute
span-from 2:58 a. m. to 3:19 a. IN.
in which to fire the rocket to put
it on the proper course to the
moon, 100000 miles away. When
it became apparent the trouble
could not be corrected in time,
the shot was postponed.
Today was the second day of
a five-day period in which the
moon is in a favorable position
for the launching. If the trouble
is minor, another launch effort
may be made tomorrow. If the
Atlas-Able does not get off the
ground by Saturday, the shot will
be put off until the next ideal
period, % days from now.

The B52G has a range of more

Hound Dog missiles, one under
