Remember Old Folks

There comes q time In every

must remember what the old

close your eyes and wish hard,
something good win happen.
(Not everybody's old folks add

happen to somebody else.)

Opening lead: Diamond king.
Take the case of the German
expert in last years European
championships. He closed his
eyes and wished hard, but his
team wasn't a bit grateful to
him.
West led the king and then
the queen Of diamonds, and our
German friend ruffed the Sec
ond Of these. He led q club to
dummy's queen and returned a
trump.
East naturally stepped UP
with the king Of spades and re-
turned q club to South's ace.
It was at this moment that
South closed his eyes and wished
for q miraculous trump break.
No Miracles
There were no miracles. When
South overlook the king Of
hearts with dummy's ace in
order to lead another trump,
East didn't produce the hoped
for ace Of trumps. Instead, East
discarded a heart.
West took the 10 and ace of
trumps, leaving the jack Of
trumps in his own hand and
the lone queen Of trumps In
South's hand. Then West led
another diamond to punch out
declarer'S last trump.
West got three more tricks
his Jack Of trumps and two
diamonds. South was down
four, for q loss Of TOO points.
It was just silly Of South to
hope that East held the ace and
king Of trumps. What would
this leave West for his double
Of four spades?
If South resigned himself to
a bad trump break, he would
never lead q second round Of
trumps. He would just lead out
his good clubs, allowing West to
ruff. The defenders would get
four trump tricks and one dia-
mond. and South's penalty
would be only 800 points. No
cause for dancing in the streets,
but better than losing 700
points.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one club
and the next player bids one
spade. You hold.
A754 1894 oJ4 %Q73
What do you say?
Answer: Bid two clubs. The
hand isn't strong enough for a
bid of two hearts but Is good
enough for some action. Per-
haps you will get a chance to
show the hearts later.

sence of the President, in attend-
ing to the affairs of the people.
1t is remarkable, indeed, how the
Senator can appear to be so well
informed in the mornings when
he is making his political broad
casts, and yet he is so bored and
impatient when the peoples BUSH
ness is being discussed in Com
mittee Hearings. Senator Gomez
and Reese, on the other hand,
haven't even shown up once dur
ing Sessions. There is no doubt
that the work that has to be done
then by the Committee of the
Whole is the most significant
work that can actually occupy
Senators. Bearing this in mind,
Senators Gomez and Reese should
spend more time working for the
people during Committee ses-
sions than talking for the record
in the afternoons.
The Democratic Senators are at
all times willing, ready and, in
deed, eager to do their part in
attending to the business Of the
Legislature, but we earnestly ask
The Unity Senators to join in do
ing more work and less political
talk.

Press Release
May 10, 1860

w e r e permitting DemocraIlc
Senators to speak under privi-
.leges on the floor of the Legisla-
ture, l would have made these
statements today:
Session Laws:
"Mr. President During the last
few days we have been supplied
with copies of the Virgin Islands
Session Laws for the years 1865
to 1859. These Session Laws have
been printed for us by Equity
Publishing Company, and ! wish
to commend them for the usual
excellent work they have done
for us. Apart from the excellence
Of the publication itself, I should
like to note for the record also
that this represents another pro-
gressive step forward for us in
the Virgin Islands so far a we
are concerned with keeping pace
with well established legislative
procedures and practices, These
Session Laws contain the exact
and complete record of the bills
acted upon and passed by our
Legislature. The Volumes are an
invaluable help in legislative e
search, and as a guide to the
form and substance of matters
which this Legislature has seen
fit to act favorably upon. The
Session Laws go along with the
Virgin Islands Code in giving to
the people of the Virgin Islands
a comprehensive coverage of the
laws under which we operate.
Despite the occasional petty and
snide remarks made about the
Code. the Judicial System Of these
islands, and the people most in
timate1y connected with it have
been unanimous in their enthusi-
astic acceptance of the Code as a
basic formulation of our laws.
These Session Laws represent
another step forward IN the de-
velopment of a wide understand
ing and dissemination of the pro-
visions Of law by and among the
general public"
Committee Work:
Mr.. President: I cannot help
but remark upon the way this
Legislature must depend upon
conscientious work by its Stand
ing Committees in order to get
the work Of the Legislature done.
Over the past few days, we have
been meeting here in Committee
of the Whole to take up the bud
get requests of the various de-
partments and agencies of the
Government. It is unfortunate
that members of the Unity Party
dominated majority have been So
delinquent in their attention tc
the peoples business and leave
the details of hard and urgent
work up to the Democratic Sena-
tors, together with Mr.. Lawaetz

SELECTING SWINE"

4X# @8EM@ #& 1880
In building any sort Of farm business, the first con
sideration is a firm foundation. The foundation Of a
sound pig raising program is selecting the right KIND Of
breeding animals, for a farmer cannot expect to get pigs
better than their parents are.
When you select breeding animals, always look for
those with the type and conformation you want your
pigs to have. They should have moderately arched backs
that do not drop off too steeply above the tail, and
straight non-sagging underines. Good breeding hogs are
full behind the shoulders, and the distance from the
rear Of the shoulder to front Of ham should be at least
80 inches at breeding age.
Sound feet and legs are essential. When the feet and
legs aresn strong, heavy animals are sometimes unable
to support themselves properly, Feet and leg faults that
should be guarded against are feet that point IN or out,
crookedness, and weak pasterns. A pastern IS that snort
section of leg between the top OF the hoof ana the TWO
horny protection on the back Of each leg. The ham itself
should be deep and welI-rounded. Particular attention
should be paid to the mammary system. Botn poarS ana
sows should have at least five nipples on each side, none
Of which should be inverted or otherwise deformed.
Desirable traits Of breeding animals are largely IN
herited. and ancestry should be selected from soWs ana
boars that have consistently produced Dig, IastgroWlng
litters or eight or more pigs. Temperament OF the ances-
tors should be considered, too, because it is at least
hereditary. Good sows are motherly, quiet, gentle VIII
their nips. and will allow a caretaker to enter her pen az
any time. A cross, nervous SOW is undesirable, because
she may kill or injure her pigs, and may also attack ner
caretaker. Bears should have mild temperamentS alSo'
because they frequently have to be driven ana nanuleu'
A cross boar is a dangerous amman.
Remember that the boar is the most important AM,
nal in the herd, because he influences the offspring OF
sows bred to him. Therefore, only the very best boar you
can find should be used. Bears should be chosen careful
" with the view Of correcting any faults m the soWs
such as overfatness or faulty feet and legs.

DEAR ABBY: My prob

away. I hate to keep her
locked up all the time, but
the minute I turn my back,
she runs away.
The police have brought
her back so many times I
am ashamed.
I put her in a nursery

from there yesterday. They
told me not to send her any
more as they couldn't be
responsible. I can't blame
them.
Saturday she ran away
from home at 10 aAu. and
the police didn't bring her
home until 10 pm. My hus-
band is away with the Navy

child keeps me on edge all
the time. Everyone, even the
police, says she must have
an emotional disturbance
Can you, or anyone who has

ways. but not in every way as
