ACTS
North East South West
1o ~ IA Pass
2NT Pass 80 Pass
IA All Pass
Opening lead: Jack Of hearts.
West opens the jack of
hearts, and declarer should
play low from the dummy
rather than cover with the
queen. If East is naive enough
to play a low heart. South win
have no further trouble with
the hand.
East should put UP the king
Of hearts at the first trick and
continue with the ace in the
hope that West is the player
with the singleton heart. Then
East leads q third heart to put
his partner in over-ruffing
position.
Ruffs With King
South should ruff with the
king Of spades to lead West
into temptation. West may
think to himself: II can't cap
ture anything better than the,
king Of spades with my ace"
If West does over-ruff with
the ace Of spades. the defense
collapses. Regardless Of which
suit West returns, declarer can
draw the rest Of the ttumps
with the queen and jack, after
which South has tricks to
burn.
The result is very different
If West refuses to over-ruff.
Now South's king of trumps
is out Of the way and West
still has all Of his original
trump strength. West is now
sure to get two trump tricks
instead Of only one. South
must use the queen to drive
out the ace Of trumpS and the
jack to draw the deuce Of
trumps. Vests 10 Of spades Is
then the master trump.
The general principle would
apply even If your sure trump
trick happened to be the king
or queen instead Of the ace.
Don't be In q hurry to over
ruff. Let declarer weaken his
trump holding while you keep
your own strength intact.

Mr.. Jones' Promotion

Keeping up with the JOneses will
be hard in the case of one member,
Antony ArmstrOng-Jon The hus-
band of Princess Margaret, who
has been made an earl, will hence
forth be officially known as Wis
count Linley and Earl of Snow
don
The new title is an example of
one OF the few remaining unre-
stricted sovereign's rights, that of
ennObling anyone the mona h
pleases. Thus when in the 1920's
the political career of Herbert II.
Asquith came to an end after he
had been premier for eight years,
King George V. voluntarily made
him peer with the designation of
Earl of Oxford and Asquith.
The honor is great, yet a lifelong
commoner sometimes loses favor
by becoming a peer. William Pitt
who in the 18th century won Can
ada and India for Britain and was
later the great friend of the 13
colonies in their controversy with
England before the Revolution,
was known as 'The Great Com
moner." After he became Earl OF
Chatham, he suffered a marked
loss OF popularity.
Partly on this account, William
H. Gladstonel and Winston Church
i'll refused peerages. However, NO
title could increase the renoWn OF
Churchill, the savior of his coun-
try. An earldom may, on the other
hand, do great deal for plain
Mr.. Jones.

Buy Or Rent
Farm Equipment? ?

Should / buy a new piece of e.
quipment or hire the job done?
This is a question Kent county
farmers are asking more often as
they look for ways to cut labor
costs, says County Agent George
Vapaa
There is no simple yes or no
answer. Many farmers are already
"over mechanical while some still
cling to back-breaking, out-dated
methods that require small cash
out lays for equipment but large
amount of labor.
In buying new farm equipment,
consider these five things:
l. Type of equipment involved
General utility machines such
as tractors, can be used much
more than specialized ma
chimes such as corn haryesters
or hay balers.
2. Amount of overhead and Oper-
ating cost-Larger machines
cost more so overhead costs
are greater. Operating costs
also may be more for large
machines. But the greater ca
pacity of larger machines
may result in lower cost per
unit of work If the machine
is used to full advantage.

Blood Bank Furnished
1900 PintS Of Blood
Since 1t Started

Nearly 10000 pints of blood
were furnished to members of the
Blood Bank of Delaware between
May Is, 1855 and September %,
1861, James F. McCloskey, pres
ident said this week.
The success of the banks OPP
eratiOn has been phenominal, ac-
cording to Mr.. McCloskey, and has
figured in saving many lives dur
ing it's six years Of operation. The
bank now numbers more than 40
900 families as members, repres-
enting approximately One-third OF
the population of the state.
The banks program is one OF
blood replacement only, McClos-
key pointed out. In other words,
when a member is given assistance
at any of the nine hospitals in
Delaware, the Blood Bank pays
back two pints of blood for every
one used for the client.
During the past six years the
Blood Bank has replaced nearly
$4,000 pints of blood.
Blood replacement is arranged
by telephone calls to members,
who then report to the designated
hospital when the in stitution can
arrange to accept the donation.
Where a strict hospital schedule
is followed, the Blood Bank has
been able to keep pace with the
replacement program, McCloskey
said.
"The system is working SO we'll, "
McCloskey pointed out, that al
though technically, when you pay
dollar to join and one dollar
annual dues for your entire fam
lily, you promise to contribute a
pint of blood on request. That
call may come but once in seven
to ten years. 1t is one of the great
est health insurance programs in
the country and has been SO rec
ognized."
In addition to it's office at 1015
Washington ST., Wilmington, the
Blood Bank Of Delaware maintains
a branch office in Milford, where
Richard A. Bott is in charge Res
idents of Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties who have problems can con-
suit Mr. Bott or join the Blood
Bank through his office.

Frost will kill them anyway and
they have probably already gone to

by clipping or chemical treatment

The later years of life have
often been called the bonus
years, but never before have
so many people been in line
to receive the bonus. The term

erations more a euphemism
than a fact. For the middle
years of 40 to go were for
most people the last years.
You Live Longer
In Elizabethan England, av-
erage life expectancy at birth
was but 80 years (the average
person didn't even live to reach
middle age). BY the American
Civil War, life expectancy had
risen to 40 years - to the
threshold of middle age.
Then by 1900 it advanced to
48 years; by 1920 to SO years;
by 1850 to So years, and today
to within a few months of 70
years-the full Biblical prom
Use of three score years and 10.
For those already in middle
age, or at the brink of it, the
bonus prospects are even more
favorable. If you are IS now,
present average life expectancy
promises you a lifetime of 70
years. If you are now As years
old. you may expect to live

average, to reach the age of rs.
That's a lot of living out

Vaughan, who by 1861 has
chalked up a bonus of 81 years,

with a rare perspective denied

at it or forward to it. This was
his capsule summary:
You feel no need to do what
you do not like. Youth is

the shackles of public opinion.
Though I find the young in

Report on Estimated State Revenues Handed to Members of Legislature

the fact that federal transitional grant monies will not be avail able to the state after fiscal 1864.
 The revenue projection for fis- cal 1872, $49,258,611, is $9,753,800 short of Egan's proposed state spending budget for that fiscal year.
 "This is the first time in the history of Alaska that we have documented all state taxes and presented them in one source," Floyd Guertin, Commissioner of Administration, said.
 "We called on every depart ment in the state with a source of revenue to contribute to this projection. We tried to be as fair and as reasonable in our projec- tions as humanly possible.
 In compiling the report, Guer- tin said his department had to make certain assumptions. Among these were the assumptions that:
 The population of Alaska is estimated to increase 20 per cent during the five-year period end- ing in 1865.
 The general economy of the state is expected to advance pro- portionate to population growth and also to experience some minor advance as a result if in- creased wage levels and commer- cial investment and expansion.
 "We also assumed that there would be no major boom, and no major recession, during the period covered by the revenue projec- tion," George Nichols, Guertin's deputy commissioner, said.
 "They tried to be as realistic and conservative as possible" " Chapados said. 'I think the re- port bears out my feelings that the revenue of the state will grad ually increase despite the loss of transitional grants"

 Panch's time shattered the pre- viouS mark of 138.767 for 500- mile race set by Jim Rathmann of Miami last year at Indianapolis, and far eclipsed the 500-mile record for Daytona of 135.129 set two years ago.
