Let's consider some Of
the unnerving aspects OF
commercials from t h e
sponsors oint of view.
Commercials C an be a
headache to sponsors and
viewers alike.
For inStanct, funnyman
Henry Morgan wasn't gag
ging when he opened one
of his sponsors refrigera-
tors and the door fell off
with a clunk. Then, too,
there's the case of the
actress W h o opened her
mouth to sing the praises
of an expectant sponsor
only to faint dead away.
BY the way, you won't
faint when you see the

first trick with the ace of -dia-,
monds he should lead a trump
to dummy'S ace and return the
low club at once. -.
The difference is that East
doesn't know that South has
an eight-card trump suit. IN
less East is very thoughtful
player he will play a low club.
West will have to win with
the ace of clubs and South
can later lead the queen of
clubs through East to ruff out
the king. Dummy'S 10 of clubs
is then good for declarer'S 18th
trick. r
East played the king of clubs
to prevent South from having
this kind of ruffing play. Give
East medal for his fine play,
but give South a black mark
for revealing too much infor-

seemed normal, but South had
already told too much Of his
story.
Since West had discarded a
diamond on the second round
of trumps, East knew that
South had eight sure trump
tricks. The ace of diamonds
had already appeared and the
ace and king of hearts were in
dummy. 1t was therefore clear
that South had eleven tricks
outside of clubs.
East could lose nothing by
putting up the king Of clubs.
South couldn't have the ace
of clubs-or he'd have claimed
his IL tricks and gone on to
the next hand.

East won with the king of

for his heart trick. Eventually
he got it.

Here's what the ad says: Through two World Wars and
terrible depression Americans fought and worked with

made the nation safe, made it grow
Then something went wrong in high places and low.
It became the of something for nothing What's in it

Unions demand higher wages without earning them.

To Achieve E4MjlNDIeMeSS
Is Aim Of TNN assessors

Assessing real estate has become
one of the biggest Juggling acts of
the century, and the Assessment
business in Garrett county is no
different than in any other area
And the State Department of AS

Comas, in Oakland, is having its
share of the troubles.
The constant aim of the Mary

to achieve equalization in all coun-

than done, according to Mr.. Nc
Comas.
Instructions given out at a school
of instruction this summer in Bal

Connecticut Boys
Are Held in Jail

Four Hartford, Conn, boys, aged
IA TO Is, we're arrested and placed
in the Garrett County Jail last
Thursday night in connection with
the theft of a station wagon in
Hartford and the breaking and
entering and theft of merchandise
from a dairy bar near Salisbury,
Pa, early last Thursday morning,
authorities said.
TIE Glen D. Folk, state police,
arrested the four boys in the sta
ton wagon at Little Crossing on
U. S. route 40, east of Grantsville
After questioning, the four boys
admitted taking the vehicle and
breaking into the dairy bar, he
said.
Raymond Moss, rural mail car
rier, who lives near the Yoder
Dairy Bar at Pine Grove, notified
police that about daylight he
glanced out window at his home
and noticed vehicle pull into the
dairy bar.
One or two of the occupants, he
said, got out of the vehicle and
made two or three trips to and
from the dairy bar. Moss said he
got into his car, and when he
drove toward the bar the occupants
of the other vehicle took off to-
ward Salisbury.
Moss got the tag number and
! color of the vehicle and police
we're called from a service station
! in the area at $50 a. M Trooper
Folk spotted the vehicle and
| stopped it to question the occu-
pants, who at first denied entering
the dairy bar
Although the tags on the car
did not compare with the tags In
formation furnished by Moss, the
| trooper noticed plate under inc
scat of the station wagon which
matched the one seen by Moss.
The four boys apparently
changed the tags after leaving the
dairy bar, Trooper Folk said. Some
canned goods and cakes we're
taken from the dairy bar.
The boys we're listed on the
docket of Trial Magistrate Robert
NJ. Maroncy as Nelson Paul Lang,
Joseph John Kusy, Paul Albert
Paulin and Roger Anne JOHN.

there because of legal technicalitIcs
and inability to make the needed
