Thank you for employing
such wonderful people"

The above words, which we value highly,
are in letter received from young col
lege coed. The letter goes on to say that
she lost her wallet while running an errand
for her family. She rushed back to the
store, looked everywhere, but had no luck
in finding it. Finally, sure that she would
never get the wallet back, she started home
feeling pretty down in the dumps.
But at almost that very minute the door
bell rang at her house and a voice said "EX-
cuse me- | think this wallet | found belongs
to someone who lives here" The voice be-
longed to a & P installer, and the result
was greatly relieved young lady.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS


@: I wish you would tell me
about q queer expression used
by a lady who visited us q few
years ago. / never heard it
before or since. She would say,
Don't be. so high-fa -lootin"
when anyone was pretending to
put on airs or being affected
by foolishnesS. It was done In
fun and usually everyone was
amused.
I have used my own spelling.
I never saw it in print nor
heard anyone else use it.-Mrs.
M. r. Brown. Brownsville, Pa.
A: High falutin" or high
faluting" was originally an
American slang word, first re-
corded In print about 1850. It
was part Of our frontier Ian
guage and originally was used
to disparage high flown, bonn
baStic orators. AS Q matter Of
fact. some language students
think the high falutin" is
simply another form Of high
flown" or high -floating"-to
refer to the puffed-up phrases
used by old-time Fourth-of-
July orators.
Nowadays the word L. listed
in most dictionaries as col
loquial" rather than slang. "
That means that you win hear
1t used In informal conversation
among well.educated people.
Truth to tell, its one Of my
favorite words-very useful in
telling off pompous pedantS
who keep putting on high
falutin airs!
@: Recently one Of my class
mates and I were looking at q
map and came across the coun-
try Of Laos. We are wondering
what the correct pronunciation
is.-Kay Gee Gregory. Hughes
vile. Md.
A: A great many Of us have
had to look UP Laos on maps
Iately-another installment in
the bitter geography lessons
that history has been teaching
us al In the past two decades.

The play at five diamonds
doubled was painful except for
East and West. East won the
first trick with the ace of
hearts and returned a trump.
South won and knocked out
the ace of clubs. Back came a
heart and South ruffed. De-
clarer led a low club and West
stepped up with the eight of
diamonds, drew dummy'S last
trump with the king of dia-
monds and got out with a
heart.
South could manage to get
only five trump tricks and one
club. That made it 1,400 for
East and West.
Should Pass
South should have passed
his partner at four spades even
though he hadn't yet men
toned his other six-card suit.
When a hand is an obvious
miSfit, the player who passes
early saves himself a baSketful
of points.
The jump to four spades in
such a situation says: Part
ner, 1 have spades from here
to CanarSie and back. have
no side strength and no in
terest in further bidding"
South should pass unless he
has material for a slam at
spades - such as a modest
spade fit, at least three aces
and considerable other power.
AS it happens, North wouldn't
make four spades. The impor-
tant point is that he wasn't
doubled and wasn't going to
be doubled. He would lose 300
points, less 100 for honorS. The
magic word pass" would save
1900 points.
Daily Question
AS dealer, you hold:
AA3 VAQ1Os5 nJ %A1Os7S

Answer: Bid one heart. With
two suits of equal length, bid
the higher suit first.
