harm,
Lead you gently by still waters,
Shielded by His mighty arm:
May your friends be true and
faithful,
Like unto the Friend above:
This is my prayer for you, my
darling.
1t is my daily prayer of love.
May the Lord bless you, my dar-

May no thorns grow in your
pathway,
And no storms beat on your
head.
May your sins all be forgiven,
Blotted from the Book above
This is my prayer for you, my
darling,
1t is my daily prayer of love.
May the Lord bless you. my
darling,
Watch above you night and
May He guide your erring foot

Back into the narrow way.
When you start that last long
journey,
May He walk beside you then;
Lead you through the Heaven
ly portals
This is my prayer of love, Amen.

SHERWOOD
ON BRIDGE
By ALFRED SHERWOOD

BY ALFRED SHERWOOD
When you're trying to trap
a bird you're supposed to avoid
alarming gestures. This princi-
pie applies also when the bird
is at your right in a bridge
game.

North East South West
Ia Pass 20 Pass
l39 Pass 40 All Pass
Opening lead: Diamond five.
What sort of gestures would
you use if you were playing
the South hand at four hearts?
Assume that East can be film
flammed if you hide the salt
you're planning to sprinkle on
his tail feathers.
If you play a low diamond
from dummy at the first trick,
your bird will fly the coop.
East will take the king of dia-
monds and will see that you
have two diamond tricks COM
ing to you and that one of
them may provide a discard.
This may frighten East into
cashing tricks while the CASH
ing is good. East will switch
to spades, and the defenders
will get two spade tricks.
Eventually West defeats the
contract with his trump trick.
Best Chance
Your best chance is to con-
ceal your diamond strength at
the first trick. Play the queen
of diamonds from dummy Just
as though you didn't have the
jack Of diamonds in your hand.
If the diamond finesse wins
you can afford to lose two
spades and one trump. You
don't need a third diamond
trick unless the trumps break
SO. It's more important to take
out insurance against a Al.
trump break than the far more
unlikely SO break.
If the queen of diamonds
loses to East's king, East may
see no danger. You have made
no threatening motions, and
East is reluctant to start the
spades in view of dummy's
length in that suit.
If East naively returns a dia-
mond, you win with the jack
and draw two rounds of trumpS
with the ace and king. Then
you discard a spade on the
ace of diamonds, draw another
trump and cheerfully concede
one spade and one trump.
Daily Question
AS dealer you hold:
AQ6 0AQ1062 oJ2 @KJ109
What do you say?
Answer: Pass. You have 10
points in high cards and two
points for the two doubletons,
worth an opening bid. Avoid
giving full value to doubleton
but the hand is not really
queens and jacks; they're sim
ply not worth it. You would
gladly trade the queen of spades
and the jack of diamonds for
a king. and then you would
open the bidding.

"In my present movie, The

make love to Capucine and
Claudia Cardinale, I work in
a long masquerade party Sc
quence in which l wear a
gorilla suit.
"A typical day goes like
this. I wake up in my sump-

my breakfast in bed.
THE waiter says, Good
morning, Mr.. Niven,' and I
have breakfast. The elevator

warmly as do the doorman,
my chauffeur, the gatemen,
my makeup man and the
wardrobe man who puts me
into my monkey suit.
Everyone on the set duti-

and it's Good evening. Mr..

Youngsters of the Wash
ington area have a post
Christmas musical treat in
store for them. The Little
Theater of Alexandria has
put the finishing touches on
its production of THE Magic
Weave" and will open it for
a two weekend run on jan
uary IL.
The fantasy, a musical YER
sion of THE Emperor's New
Clothes" by Gene Casey and
Gordon Richmond, was orig
inally produced at New York's
Sullivan Street Playhouse and
is being staged here by Bob
O'Connor, television director
at WTTG-5.
Featured in the all-adult
cast are Hubbard James as the
Emperor, Carolyn Smith as
the Princess, Constance Boh-
lin as the royal attendant
and Norman Bernhardt and
Ernie Saltas the comic
weavers. Others involved are
a prince, his male attendants,
l2-voice chorus and numerous
dancers. The latter groups
are under the direction, re-
Spectively, of Cleva DeMaine
and Hodi Pope.

Fridays, IL am. and 2 pm.
Saturdays and 3 pm. Sun

mother is not as enthusiastic
about his entering show busi-
ness.

she's seen the business and
she doesn't want her little
boy to get hurt"
Except for a few years at
prep school and a split year
at the University Of South
ern California and the Uni
versity of Arizona, young ST.
natra has been living at home
with his mother although he's
looking for an apartment
now.
And like every Father,
Frank, ST., thinks there are
some things his son should
know. AS young Frank tells
it:
"A couple of summers ago,
my old man took me into q
bar in New York. He or
dered a glass of gin and a
glass of water.
Then he took this little
plastic bag out of his pocket.
1t had some dirt in 1t and a
worm.
He put the worm in the
glass of water. 1t swan
around.
Then he put it in the gin.
1t sort of wiggled and died.
MY old man turned to me
and said, See. son, If you
drink gin, you'll never have
worm"

like to see him do. They'll
take care Of him. I'd do the
same for their kids"
What does Frank think of
his boy as a performer?
Hes more of an actor than
a singer. His tonal quality's
pretty good. But he needs
more training. He's studying
music and I want him to
finish college"
Despite the knocks he has
taken, Frank is all for his
boys show business career,
IF that's what he wants."

According to Fair office records, theirs is the first float ever entered from Wasil- la. Over 200 man hours were spent gathering spruce boughs and cottonwood leaves and at- tachlng each separately to the frame. The cotton wood leaves were stapled individually and then sprayed to form the boat. The mountain and water were designed with aluminium foil and small spruce bows. Young John Polls was the hunter, the country girl fishing was Sharon Ruff and the skier was queen contestant Joyce Paterson. The tiny clowns distributing bal looms were Pam Gillow and David Scheele. The Association will start earlier next year and hope to bring home first prize.
