THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Ice Skaters to Perform for Charity

Event in New York to Be Participated in by 100 Persons. BY HELEN WORDEN Times Special Writer NEW YORK. March 22.—‘"When the ice is squee-geed, they'll practice again!” explained Will Sands, secretary of the Skating Club of New’ York. The pair of us had poked our noses out of Mr. Sands’ office on top of Madison Square Garden. I had come to see the ballet rehearse for the ice carnival at Madison Square Garden next Wednesday night when 100 amateur ice skaters will glide through their paces. Gate receipts will go to the New York Post Graduate Hospital. We shivered a little and drew back into the warm cubby. I thought longingly of the coonskin coats the cold storage men sport. “Who is on the ice tonight?” I inquired. “The Flying Aces," said Mr. Sands. Once more I ventured into the frosty rink. “The Flying Aces” were taking to the ice. “What is squee-geeing?” I asked Mr. Sands, whom I'm sure, by this time, wished I were at the bottom of the China Sea. with my questions. "Squee-geeing is a technical term for scraping the ice,” he said. “It’s a long story, my child!” Club Sponsors Show. I changed the'subject. “I hear your carnival last week was a great success! ” Mr. Sands beamed. “Yes, it was quite unique!” The Skating Club of New York was sponsor of the show. The sucI cess of the past performance, as well : as this approaching carnival rests on l the slim shoulders of Mrs. Cheever Porter, a member of the club. She 1 has often skated with Irving Brokaw in amateur exhibits. The w’alls of the club are adorned with his collection of old-fashioned ice skating scenes. “La-la-la” came the strains of the beautiful "Blue Danube.” Like so many bits of thistledown, the *Flying Aces” floated over the blue-white surface of the ice, pirouetting the length of the rink. Former Champion Instructs “One, tw r o, three,” called Willy Eoeckl, chief instructor. “He was four times champion of the world,” explained Mr. Sands. “You should have seen him at St. Moritz!” We might have been in St. Moritz last night. The music, the ice, the colored lights and the shouts of the foreign skaters as they cut particularly difficult figure?., helped the illusion. These aces will be in fine form for next Wednesday’s performance. Their intricate glides will express the charm of an exciting sport that has become a delicate art. GROUP TO MEET~ AT HELMER HOME Mrs. Paul Beard, chairman of the consumers’ research study group of the Indianapolis Branch, American Association of University Women, will preside at a meeting at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Oscar Helmer, 3526 N. Me-ridian-st. The meeting topic will be “Consumers Uunder the NRA.” Mrs. Frank Streightoff, chairman of the Consumers’ Cuoncil of Marion County, will be guest speaker. The association has scheduled an evening study group dinner meeting at 6 Tuesday night at the Dinner Bell tearoom.

Manners and Morals ■ by JANE JORDAN

Every reader who has any ideas on the subject brought up in the letter published today is invited to put them in a letter. Dear Jane Jordan—l have an adopted daughter who will soon be asking the inevitable question: “Mother, where did you get me? ’ Os course I have a plan in mind, but I thought per-

haps I could get a better one from someone w T ho has had the experience. I would like to see a discussion of this subject in your column. Can’t w’e have letters not only from foster parents. but from the adopted children also. I am sure that such a dis-

But of course we know it will and w’e are anxious to protect our child’s peace of mind as much as possible. A PSEUDO MOTHER. Answer —I shall be glad to publish the letters of foster parents and children, or the opinions of any other readers, if only they will take the time and trouble to write. It seems to me that the simplest and most natural way to deal with this situation is to conceal nothing but to tell the child the facts as early as possible, and with as little emotional to-do as possible. To assure the child over and over again that it is loved as one’s own is to awaken a doubt as to the truth of the statement. The most common objection given by foster parents to telling children that they are adopted is

the fear that the child can not love foster parents as completely as if they were natural parents. It is quite possible that this fear originates in the parent’s own unconscious doubt that they themselves will be able to bestow as much love on an adopted child as on their own flesh and blood. Their attitude is simply displaced on to the child. No doubt this is what causes emotional shock when some children are informed that they are not of the family blood, for children are extremely acpte in catching the unconscious attitudes of their elders. The foster parent who harbors no such doubt in the archives of the unconscious need not fear that it is not loved, or fail in affectionate response to good parent substitutes. The most common complaint of foster children is that their parents expected more gratitude from their own flesh and blood. Since children are adopted more to satisfy a frustrated urge for parenthood than from altruistic motives to help the child, no more than the normal amount of gratitude which decent people feel for benefits received should be expected. nun Dear Jane Jordan—l am 17 years old. An old boy friend of mine is 2000 miles from here and is engaged to be married to a girl. I wrote and wished him happiness and got a letter from both the girl and him saying w T e still could be friends. I haven’t answered either.'' He told my cousin to tell me that I had better answer his letter and she told him that I didn’t feel that I should. She said she saw tears in his eyes and didn’t know w r hat to think. He and the girl quarrel all the time. Do you think he likes me or her? MISS X. Y. Z. Answer—l doubt a young man’s ability to keep his emotion alive when he is 2000 miles away from the girl. He may not be entirely satisfied with his new choice, but I doubt if he does much repining about you. I wouldn't place too muchjneaning in the tears which your ' cousin thinks she saw. Maybe he was feeling low in his mind that day and picked up the next. u n n Dear Jane Jordan—What is your opinion of girls of 15 and 16 who go from beer joint to beer joint until the hours of three and four in the morning, especially when one girl’s sister is lying, maybe, on her death bed? PUZZLED SIX. Answer—l think they lead dull lives and are trying to scare up a little excitement.

Contract Bridge

Editor’s Note —This Is the third of a series of articles on the Tapel Formula for recognizing and executing a squeeze play, as expounded in E. Hall Downes' new book entitled “Saueeze. Coups and End Plays.” BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League IN yesterday's article I discussed the first element in every squeeze —the necessary threat cards that must alw’ays be present as the foundation for this play. Today let us consider the second element in every squeeze—the assumption that must be made. South is playing the contract at six diamonds and West opens the heart king. East wins with the heart ace and leads the club eight to the second trick. West puts up the club jack and North wins with the club ace. South must take the remaining tricks to fulfill his contract.

He sees but one club loser, the club queen, which can not be eliminated by ruffing, discarding or finessing unless the spade suit should break three-threes, not a normal adverse division. Since South may always try for a favorable spade break, he first considers the possibility of projecting a squeeze play against West, if the spade suit is tried out and ilr does not break three-three, the contract will be defeated. ana DECLARER knows that the club queen in the South hand is a

one-card threat against West’s club king, and since declarer also knows that there must be two threats in every squeeze play, explained in yesterday's article, he assumes that, if West holds four spades, he will be forced to guard the spade six in dummy, and thus declarer has established two threat tricks. This assumption on the part of the declarer is an essential element in every squeeze. If the assumption, does not prove true, then the contract will be defeated in any event. In this example, if East should hold the four spades, there is no possible way of fulfilling the contract. Declarer must then assume that one opponent—and one only—will be forced to guard the two threat suits. Therefore, the other opponent can not hold the winner over either threat. The important thing to remember, with regard to point two in the Tapel formula—the assumption—is that declarer loses nothing by making the assumption, no matter how far-fetched it might be, because, unless the assumption proves to be correct, the contract certainly will be defeated. Nothing therefore has been lost by making the necessary assumption for the squeeze play. In tomorrow’s article I shall discuss point three in the Tapel formula —projecting the play to the squeeze position—the next important element in every squeeze. (Copyright. 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)
