MONTGOMERY BOARD REFUSES
TO BEETLE BROW ON BEETLES

When it comes to pclicysetting on japanese beetles
one Montgomery County School Board member thinks
it Is time to stop grubbng around
Paul c. Howard last night voiced his objection to an
item the agenda for discussion of board participation
in Japanese beetle grub control"
II personally am opposed to beetles" he said "They
hurt flowers and lawn But strikes me as one of the
lesser problems in educating children It might as
well be left to the staff to determine policy on such
matters"
Lester j. Wech, director Of school facilities explained
that the item was part Of community effort to control
beetles and that PTA had offered volunteer labor il
the board would authorize purchase of proper soil
treatment.
Other board members agreed with Mr. Howard that
the matter should be left in the hands of the staff which
approved the BEETLE control idea

Mrs. Lucille Maurer,. newly
elected member, asked II "a
new building and a rehabili-
tated old one would last equally
long, or are we kidding our
Selves?"
James H. Sheldon, construc-
ton director, replied that it
seemed unlikely that renovated
quarters would last as long,
regardless Of rehabilitation and
that maintenance costs would
be higher.

Base Your PIuy
On Opponents Fear
By ALFRED SHEINWOLD

You don't always have to
play a high card from dummy
to make an opponent play high.
A low card may produce the
same effect if the opponent
can't be sure of what is going
on.

IA 20 Pass ~
All Pass
Opening lead: Spade deuce.
When West leads the deuce
OF spades, don't reach auto
matically for dummy's ten.
That will make the rest Of the
suit worthless.
Play the three of spades
from dummy and look self-as-
Sured. How can East tell what
to do? If he plays the seven of
spades you may produce the
singleton nine or jack to win
the trick. It's dollars to dough-
nuts that East viii play the
king of spades at the first
trick; and this play gives you
game and rubber.
East returns a diamond to
the ace, and you finesse the
queen of hearts to Vests king.
Back comes a diamond to the
king, and you enter dummy
with the eight of trumpS to re-
turn the queen of spades
through East.
Must Cover
East must cover with the ace
of spades, since you know all
about that card. You ruff high,
lead a trump to the nine, and
ruff the low spade.
The jack of spades drops on
this trick, setting up dummy's
ten. This is the position you
have been playing for. Now you
lead a club to the ace and dis
card your losing diamond on
dummy's ten of spades. There
is still a trump in dummy for
your last club, and your con-
tract is safe.
Remember this type Of play
whenever an opponent leads a
badly broken suit through
dummy. The other opponent is
probably in the dark as to what
is going on, and you may per-
suade him to make the wrong
play if you play low from dunn
my.

BENDING THE TWIG
Unless tree hos blossoms in the spring
il will be fruitiess in the folI."

1
/ Looking out of my window |
often see my grandchildren, and
other boys and girls, coming from
school carrying home their books
in early evening study to prepare
the lessons assigned them for the
morrow. On the magic carpet of
memory this carries my thinking
back to the time when / began
my education by attending small,
one-room country school. Here at
crude little desk / received my
first lesson in how to write. The
teacher placed before me a care
fully lined copy book upon whose
first page she told me to copy as
well as l could the beautifully
written line found at the top of
the page. This line. carefully
printed in script, was the proverb,
AS the twig is bent the tree is
| inclined"
These words meant little to me
at that time and even now they
seem to many to be just another
of those hackneyed platitudes that
fall glibly from peoples lips and
carry little weight. But this
should not be so, for after years
of observance of the relationship
of children's conduct to the teach
ings they receive from their elders
l feel that there is no greater
truth than that expressed by this
proverb "as the twig is bert the
tree is inclined"
To impress this fact a bit more
deeply upon your thinking l bring
you the parable of a river. This
river was one of the majestic ar
teries of the world. Slowly it
flowed downward toward the sea-
Harnessed to wheel and dam it
furnished vast sources of power.
Cities drew from it their needed
supply of water. 1t carried the
tonnage of great ships upon its
back, and withal it remained
stream that was beautiful to the
eye.
Aware of such accomplishments
it is not surprising that this river
grew proud 1t thought of itself
as self-sufficient and dispatched
word to all the smaller streams
that flowed into it, the creeks and
the fountains, that hereafter they
should go elsewhere and find new
and other channels to the sea.
From this time forward, SO said
the river, it would go on its proud
way alone.
Time went on and what happen

plenishment, the great river grew
less in size and depth. The hot
sun drank up some of its water
and the balance slowly found its
way to the sea. AT last it dried
up entirely. The proud river was
dead.
As previously indicated, all this
is but parable, but a parable car
rying message of vital import
ance. Under this imagery of a
river / would have you think of
the Christian Church. Like a great
stream it flows through the world
bringing widely to many an i'm
measurable amount of good. If.
for a moment you doubt this good,
ask yourself if you would like to
live in a land where the church
has not already come to make that
land decently habitable.
And these creeks ard rivulets-
what are they? All, these are the
boys and the girls, the rising gen.
Grafton, flowing into the church.
Have you ever paused to ponder
what the tomorrow of the church
would be if this steady stream of
young people stopped flowing into
it? Who would take the place of
those who, with the passing of the
years, flow inexorably into the
great sea of eternity? Without her
youth the future of the church
would be entirely cut off. Her sons
and her daughters are her tribu-
taries; without them, like the
great river, the church of Jesus
Christ would soon be dead.
This, then, is the challenge of it
all-the challenge to the home and
to the church: Bend the twig."
Bend the twig of youth to grow
straight and strong so that in the
world of tomorrow there may be
courageous champions of justice
and truth in the social and eco
nomic life of the nation and her
government. Bend the twig of
youth so that in the church of to-
morrow we may have the timber
of membership strong enough to
carry the burdens of the church in
the days that lie ahead and to
build the church to ever greater
heights of prestige and power.
Bend the twig so that your chill
dren achieve a manhood and a wo-
manhood worthy of the finest
Christian heritage of the past and
able to give to generations still
to come the finest possible ex-
amples of Righteousness and good
ness in the nation and in the
church. Indeed, for the sake of
God and the church, for the sake
of the nation and your own COM
munity, for the sake of the tenn
poral and eternal welfare of your
child, bend the twig.
