| But Players Report - /~ | Various Difficulties ~ Canasta Laws Provide If Both Sides Cross 5000 Mark, High Point Side’ Wins IEEE By OSWALD JACOBY IA : + A SIMPLE little matter like keeping score shouldn't bother canasta players, but judging by my mail it does.

Here are a few questions and answers.

_ Q-—At the start of the last hand my side had a score of 4860 and’ the opponents 4240. They went out and alsg gained points on us on! the next hand. When we totaled the score we had 5390 and they had 5200. They claim that they win the game since they went out and outscored us on the last hand. Are ey right? IE } A—They could not be more wrong. The laws of canasta clearly, provide that if both sides cross the 5000 point mark the side with the! greatest number of points wins the game, os

eliness By RUTH MILLETT .

SHE IS A WIDOW and a great-grandmother and

she lives all alone. Her children are scattered over ° will be the scene at 3:30 ». m.| the country, busy with their own lives.

fhe could easily be an unhappy, lonely old woman, but she isn't. She is young in/spirit and light in heart and so is getting a lot out of life. She not only has good old friends, but is continually making new friends of all ages. There's the young couple who used to live next door, whose small children she grew . fond of. They've moved to another part of town now, but every Tuesday they are in vited to her house for the day. 4 It's a gay day for the children, for she has all the time in the world to enjoy them. And it's a wondexful, free day for their mother, who otherwise would never have a day when she could get away from home free ; as a breeze, with nothing to worry about. ! Ruth Millett

» n ~ IN THAT STANDING invitation to take over a young mother’s children once a week can be found the principle reason why this great-grandmother isn't a lonely, old woman. She is still willing to pely the price of friendship. She doesn't expect friendship to be all getting and no

. giving, simply bec#use she is old. She keeps her friendship on

a “pay-as-you-go” and an “as-you're able” basis. She keeps herself alive, alert and young-minded not by feeling sorry for herself because her own children no longer need her to play an active part in their lives, but by looking around to see how she can be helpful to others. No woman with that positive approach to living will ever become an object of pity or self-pity.
