profession Is working with deaf
children, I was amazed that
she insisted dumb" means
stupid or ignorant. I always
thought it meant silent or
mute. hence the phrase deaf
and dumb" But, I thought, at
one time people through ig-
norance thought that deaf peo-
pie were actually stupid, so the
word took on the popular i'm
plication. She. on the other
hand, thought the label was
meant to imply that deaf
people were stupid.
The second word was pro
fessional" or profession. y
Here again she insisted that q
profession was a career chosen
by people who received formal
education towards that end. BY
formal" she meant college de-
grees in their chosen field. My
argument is that a profession
is a career by which any per-
son skilled in his field makes q
livelihood. A professional is q
person working in a field whose
training can be obtained by
practicing this profession and
learning in such a manner
Once he commands a reason
able salary for his skills he Is
a professional, be he plumber
painter or furniture salesman

am shocked that your sister,
in-law would not recognize
that the first and accurate
meaning is lacking the power
of speech" The other meaning
-"stupid"-is colloquial, bor-

are clearly correct in your posi-

North East South West
MT Pass 50 Pass

Opening lead: Five Of hearts.
West opens the five NJ hearts
and dummy wins with the ace.
What next? Should South
draw trumps at once?
Declarer can expect to win
five trump tricks. three dia-
monds, and the ace Of hearts.
One additional trick Is needed
IA club. q diamond. or even
q ruff in dummy. The hand Is
far from clear and simple, so
South should refrain from
drawing trumps.
Instead, declarer leads q dia-
mond from dummy at the Sec
ond trick, finessing the Jack
from his hand. The jack wins.
and South takes some encour-
agement.
The next step Is to try for q
club trick. South leads q low
club from his hand and fl
nesses dummy's Jack.
East wins with the queen Of
clubs and cashes the queen Of
hearts. Then East returns q
trump.
Wins I'm Own Hand
South wins in his own hand
with the 10 Of spades and leads
another club toward dummy.
The king Of clubs loses to the
ace, and back comes another
trump.
South wins In dummy with
the ace Of trumps but does not
draw the last outstanding
trump. Instead. he leads
another low diamond from
dummy. winning a finesse with
the 10.
Time to draw the last trump?
Not yet. If the diamonds
break 3-3, South can safely cash
the ace Of damonids. II the
diamonds break AZ, South's
only chance is to leave a trump
in dummy for his fourth dia-
mond.
South leads the ace Of dia-
mondS and holds his breath.
West discardS Q heart, and
South can relax. The player
with the long diamonds also
has the last trump. SO now
South can lead h1slnst diamond
and ruff In dummy, thus as
suring the contract.
