SHEINWOLD ON BRIDGE
Use Your Energy in Riqht Direction
By ALFRED SHEINWOLD

South thought for a long time
about the best way to play the
clubs. He could lead the ten
from the dummy, a low card
from the dummy, or a low card
from his own hand to start the
suit.
1t was hard work for South to
exhaust these possibilities, but
he finally did it. He led a low
club from dummy.
When East played low, South
finesSed with the jack of clubs.
This lost to the queen, and
South eventually lost another
club to East and a heart trick.
Down one.
No Better
South would fare no better if
he led the ten of clubs from
dummy. East would cover with
the king to force out declarer'S
ace. Then South would still lose
a club to the nine and another
club to the jack.
The point is that South should
not be thinking about the clubs
at all. After losing the trump
fineSse, South should give up q
heart trick. He ruffs the dia
mOnd return and gives uE
another heart, discarding a club
from dummy.
No matter what is returned,
South can cash the third heart
to discard a second club from
dummy. This leaves no club los
ers in the dummy; South can
ruff three clubs in dummy. De-

Time Is Vital
1t is important to apply for
.fellowships early. Students
should write to the dean, Of the
graduate school at each univer-
Sity where they would like a
fellowship and ask for an ap-
plication form. In many instan-
ces they will be asked why they
want a fellowship and what
they will do with it. All will be
asked for a biographical sketch
indicating their own social and
education philosophy.
It is important that candi-
dates write with sincerity and
do not attempt to impress the
fellowship committee. Arnold
Bennett once wrote: "a young
man trying to make an impress
sion gives the impression of a
young man trying to make an
impression"

A record number Of students
are now attending American
graduate schools and q record
number Of scholarships and
fellowshipS are available. Grad
uate enrollments have in
creased 800 per cent In the
past 20 years. Some 400, 00o
students today are attending
more than 500 graduate
schools. Many liberal arts col
leges send more than half of
their seniors into graduate
study.
Fellowships have increased
at a remarkable rate. The
number of awards may be the
National Science Foundation,
the largest single source science
fellowships, has quintupled In
the past 10 years. Throughout
the country more than 10000
fellowships, carrying grants Of
$50 million, are offered to
graduate students each year.
Students today don't have to
have an A or B record to get
fellowships. Graduates with c
plus or C averages are eligible
for many fellowships.
Fellowships are awarded by
hundreds Of universities, Gov
eminent agencies. private foun-
dationS, and local and State
governments. Almost every
field Of study Is covered.
FellowshipS come from three
main sources: universities, the
Government, and private foun-
dations. Most Of the 900 col
legeS with graduate school pro-
grams offer fellowships. The
Government offers more fell
lowshipS than any other
source. The National Science
Foundation awards 5000 grad
uate fellowships yearly for fu-
ture science teachers or re-
search workers. The National
Defense Education Fellowship
program grants $500 awards
annually to students who want
to go into college teaching, and
another 1000 awards in Latin

It Is best to give names Of peo-

tor. The dictionaries tend to
evade the issue by labelling
contents" as usually plural,"
thereby conceding that it may
sometimes be followed by a
singular verb. In this instance,
however, especially when there
were several items contained in
the bag, the use of a singular
verb seems to me indefenSible.
A point that your secretary
and the English teacher seem to
ignore is that there is a per-
fectly good singular form of the
word content" It's true that
it is usually used in a somewhat
more abstract sense, but there
would certainly be nothing
wrong in saying "The bags
content is sterile" However,
the more sensible and accurate
form is: "The bags contents
are sterile"
| Question:: Until today l
thought the slang term denoting
toughs of the town was pug
ugly" meaning ugly and I'M
pleasant as a pug dog. Now I
find that it is "plug-ugly."
What's the origin of this term?
Does it refer to the ugliness of
the plug hat or to the unpleas-
antneSS of insiStent radio and
TV advertising?-R. c., Engle-
wood, N. ].
Answer: Neither. 1t goes back
to 18th century slang when to
plug" a chap was to hit him
with your fist, preferably on the
snoot. A series of such "plugs"
did not tend to beautify the fea-
lures of the man on the receiv-
ing end. So, with his nose
spread in various directions, he
became "plug-ugly."

Dear DR.. Mason:
I am a senior and am doing q
research paper on Teaching Of
ethical and moral values In
school" What is your opinion:
/. Should students be taught
about god?
2. Should they be taught the
difference between right and
wrong moral conduct and the
consequences resulting from
the latter?
Miss F. T., Langley Park, Md.
Here are my personal feel
ings regarding your questions:
1. Students should be taught
about God by their parents and
through their church. Al
though responsibility for train
ing rests outside the school,
certainly a mention Of God
within the school should not be
taboo.
2. Parents, schools and the
church should cooperate In
helping students know the diff
ference between right and
wrong moral conduct. They
should be taught an apprecia-
ton of the rights Of others and
respect for another's property.
Even though moral codes diff
fer among various groups Of
adults, a rather definite moral
code is necessary for good men,
tai health and happy living.
