Started his career back in early
194Cs. He left school and the re-
servation during World War II in
1912 to work in the ship yard in
San Pedro, California. He also
worked several places as plumb
er's helper. Finally, in 1914, he
was inducted into the United States
Marine Corp and took his training
in San Diego, California. After a
short stay with the US. Marines,
he went back to school to further
his education. This time at the
Albuquerque Indian School, Albu-
querque, New Mexico, for one year
and then to Chillocco, Oklahoma in
1916. He also attended grade school
in Leupp and Tuba City, Arizona. In
1916, few months after he arrived
in Chillocco Indian School, due to
financial difficulty, he chose to re-
enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corp in
Ft. Riley, Kansas. Later he re-
ceived his assignment to Lawson
Field, Fl. Benning, Georgia. His
next assignment was to Shaw Air
Force Base, South Carolina. From

We Salute

Dear Sir:
After reading your paper and
article of wanted news and stories,
decided to request to have my
husbands picture and name in your
paper. am proud to present Staff
Sergeant Glenn c. George of the
United States Air Force. He is
presently stationed at Castle Air
Force Base, California with Stra-
tegic Air Command
Sgt. George is full blooded Ma
vajo. He was born in January, 1927,
near Leupp, Arizona. He is the son
and one of the twelve children of
Mrs. Alice Lefthand of Tuba City,
Arizona. His father passed away
when he was only five years of
age. His mother is now married
to Jim Leftland of Tuba City, ,Ari-
zona. In 1855, Sgt. George shortly
after returning from Engla nd
where he had spent two and one
half years, married the former
Miss Mary K.Begay, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinchinchine Begay
of Greasewood Spring, Arizona.
We now have three little sons and
happily reside in Merced, Califor-
MIA near castle Air Force Base

California to gain more knowledge.
Also, recently he was awarded
outstanding job performance and
he is on the honor roll of his

Sergeant George with nearly
fifteen years experience in mill
tary service says he has been
very lucky. The closest he ever
came to battle field was about
two thousand miles. But the closest
call he ever came across was back
in 1854 on Morale flight to Copen-
hagen, Denmark, from England on
CAT troop carrier. One of the
twin engines caught onfire and Sgt.
George and twenty-four fellow Air
men were ordered to get ready to
jump. flying over the North Sea
and about 200 miles to the nearest
mainland. Fortunately the fire was
extingui shed by engine extinguish-
erS.

porary duty assignments through
out his career. Here are some of
the bases he has visited: Keesler
AFB, Mississippi: Scott AFB, IL
linois: Pope AFB. North Caro-
lima: Lakeland AFB, Texas: Camp
Kilmer, New Jersey and George
AFB, California and several
others. He sometimes proudly says
he has visited forty-tWo states in
Cluding Hawaii and Alaska.
AT the present time Sgt. George
is assigned to jet engine test cell,
where he performs his job, test
running jet engines and celebrating
etc. Also he has given instructions
on several jet aircraft and engine
related equipment to perform his
job accurately. He is scheduled to
attend 80 day course on test
block and jet engine celebration
commencing June p, 1861.
Sgt. George has earned some
decorations as follows: Good Con-
duct Medal Clasp with 3 loops,
World War II Victory Medal, Am
erican Defense ribbon, National
Defense ribbon, United Nations,
Unit Outstanding Award and Sen
iorlty with two oak leafs.
Sgt. George ha sn't made definite
plans as to what he will do on re-
tiring in 1866 but he hopes to go
home and help his people.

South West North East
INT Pass 3NT All Pass
Opening lead: Ten of hearts.
East won the first trick with
the ace of hearts, thought for
a long moment or two, and
returned the deuce of spades.
1t was the best play to defeat
the contract, but West couldn't
tell what to do.
South played the seven of
spades, and West had to de-
eide whether to play the eight
or the queen. He finally put
up the queen of spades, and
now South had two sure spade
tricks and couldn't be beaten.
Defends His Play
When the hand was over,
West defended his play. It
would be correct, he pointed
out, if East had led from
J-9-X-X of spades with the ace
of clubs or diamonds as an
entry. West would presumably
get in with the king of dia-
monds to lead another spade,
and East would eventually get
his side ace and take two
spade tricks to defeat the con-
tract.
This was possible, but very
unlikely. If East had two aces
and the jack of spades, South
had opened with a 15-point
no-trump. People do it some
times, even though they
promise 16 to 18 points for
the opening bid of one no.
trump, but it's foolish to rely
on this when you don't have to.
West can defeat the con-
tract even If South has the
full 16 points for his opening
bid. West should play the eight
rather than the queen of
spades at the second trick.

What do you say?
Answer: Bid two hearts.
This is a weak response, which
your partner will normally
pass. You should have an
easier time at two hearts than
he will have at one no-trump.

Change Dismayed Them
But we were shocked to
find it wasn't the same
place" Mr.. Smith says. "One
longtime neighbor had died
and his widow had moved
away to live with her chill
dren. Two other families on
the block had sold out and
moved. The people who had
moved in were too old for
Mama and I to cultivate into
