Mrs. Jordan wanted Cheryl
to 60 to District Teachers Col

set on Howard" She passed
a civil service typing examina-
ton, but didn't get a job last
summer.
At Howard, she obtained q
National Defense Student Loan
of $500, or $3.50 per semester.
Her mother pays the remainder
of the tuition. National De-
fense loans, administered by
colleges with funds mostly con-
tributed by the Federal Gov

to begin a year after the bor-

Mrs. Jordan has three chill

Cheryl. One finished New York

and the other recently came
out of the Air Force.
She has been the sole sup

he was very positive about the

opening lead: FIVE OF hearts.
Put yourself in the South
seat. I'll get up and let you
play the hand. You win the
first trick in dummy with the
jack of hearts. What next?
Don't peek at the East-West
cards. You can't tell which OPP
ponent has the queen Of spades.
You don't know how the red
suits are going to break.
AS q practical player, how
ever, you should guard yourself
against the possibility that
both red suits may break Az
and that the queen Of spades
may be in the East hand. In
other words, nothing good is
going to happen-but neither
do you have to fear any out
rageous break.
AS the cards lie, you can
work out a topsy-turvy line Of
play that would work. But
there's only one correct way to
play the hand If you can't see
the missing cards.
Strange Gambit
At the second trick you must
lead a low diamond from the
dummy! This looks like q give
away, but chess players would
recognize it as a gambit. You
give up material to improve
your position.
Suppose the opponents win
and return a club, as good a
defense as any. You win, lead
a trump to dummy, and ruff a
low diamond. There is no dam
ger of an over ruff If the dia-
monds break 3-3 or Az. You
have set up dummy's diamonds
at the expense of only one
trump, so you are not worried
about a Az trump break.
Now you can draw trumps,
lead a spade to the king and
run four diamond tricks to get
rid of your losers.
Daily Question
AS dealer, you hold:
AA76 0AK763 o4%AK53
What do you say?
Answer: Bid one heart. You
have good enough distribution
and high cards for q forcing
bid, but your suits are not solid
enough. Change two Of the
small hearts to the jack-10,
and you would open with two
hearts.

Military Credit
Is One Aspect
Of Benefit Law

Jerome H. Drane, district
manager for social security in
Gulfport, said today that a
little known aspect of the social
security law is the use of mill.
tary credits.
According to Drane, when a
veteran who has had active mill
tary service between September
is, 1910, and December 81, 1856,
retises, dies, or becomes dis
abled he may receive credit of
$3.50 a month wages for each
month Of such military service.
This military credit does not
automatically appear on the in
dividual's earnings record a n d
can be established only at the
time a claim is filed. ThiS
little known aspect of the social
security law has helped many
veterans to become entitled to
social security benefits.
Beginning January l, 1857, all
military personnel were brought
under the law and deductions
are being made from their pay.
Drane pointed out that veter-
ans and their families should
be aware of these provisions.
In order to receive those cred
its, a veteran or his survivors
must present, at the time of
filing a claim, proof Of military
service. The most acceptable
proof is a discharge certificate
or other official document show
ing the period of service.
Any veteran or his survivor
who has already applied for So
cial security benefits has had
this provision of the law applied
and this type of credit estab-
lished in determining his bene-
fits.
More detailed Information on
veterans and the social securi-
ty law can be found in Pamph-
let No. 31a, available without
cost at the social security dis
trict office at 1922 32nd Avenue
in Gulfport, Mississippi. A rep
resentative from the Gulfport
office is in Pascagoula a h

Jury Room in the County Court
House, between $3.50 am. and
