CITY RECREATION

Another nice crowd attended the square dance Thursday night. We had three squares at one time, and more girls than ever. It was about the best dance of the summer- another one will be held next Thursday. Adults sitting in the cars seemed surprised that they could dance and be as welcome as the younger people. Junior High and high school ' fellows who want to play baseball should understand that they will play on the Robe-Ann grass at six o’clock for the balance of the summer season. Come out next Monday night to RobeAnn where Tom Goldsberry will handle a baseball game. After the game you guys can go up to Lioyd Cooper's croquet tourney and attempt to beat out Jimmy

Goldsberry.

Susie Knarr reports that she has 12-15 girls daily in park recroation at 10:30. The boys have ceased coming regularly, but we feel that the boys are more interested in minor league baseball. We are very glad that the girls are enjoying Susie's leadership.

cards in your best suit. In today’s band for example. South would be much better off without the eight of diamonds. South can win the first tw’o diamonds with the king and queen. He can then lead the nine ; of diamonds to dummy’s ace. He would then be ready to win two more tricks in the dummy with I the seven and fax of diamonds— | if he could only get rid of the eight of diamonds. As long as he has that eight, however, he will have to win the fourth round of diamonds in his own hand; and then there is no way. to get to dummy for a fifth diamond trick When the hand was played, South saw that the eight of diamonds was exceas baggage, and he found an ingenious way to get rid of it. West led the king of spades, hoding the trick. West confidently led the queen of spades, and held that trick also. West continued with the jack of spades, and was allowed to win that third trick too! For lack of anything better to do, West led a fourth spade, forcing out dummy's ace. On this trick, South got rid of hif* offending eight of diamonds! He could now easily take the king, queen, and ace of diamonds in that order to establish the suit. Dummy won two more diamond j tricks, and South made game with five diamonds, a spade, a club, and tw r o hearts. West couldn't stop South by switching to a different suit, since then South could take the first four diamond tricks in any sequence and get back to dummay with the ace of spades for the fifth diamond. DAILY QUESTION Partner deals and bids one notrump. The next player passes. You hold: S—A 9 5 4 H 6 4 D —A 7 6 4 2 C—J 3. What do you

say'?

Answ r er: Bid two clubs—the Stayman Convention. This does not show biddable clubtj but does ask your partner to show a biddable major suit, if he has one. If partner can show* spades, you will raise to game; otherwise you bid game in no-trump.

Indians Swat Yankees 12-2

The Indians ambushed their third straight Little League victim last night with a convincing 12-2 w'in over the hapless Yankees. Big chiefs in the Indian camp were Jim Lewis, Scott Lew'is and Lannie Allee. Aliee, as prolific on the mound as on the base paths, kept the Yanks hitless and scoreless until the fifth inning w'hen Doug Swickard smacked a single. The Yankees didn’t score, however, until the sixth inning w'hen their swatters w'armed up for two hits and tw'o runs. Allee struck out 10 and gave up four bases on balls. Losing pitcher for the Yankees was Mickey Copeland. Yankees 0 0 0 0 0 2 2-3-3 Indians 3 3 0 1 5 x 12-7-0 Tonight the White Sox and Red Legs play at 5:30.

rising. Then they find out they’re not suited for it. “Insurance, I imagine, doesn't i strike too many young as glamorous. But for many of us it was the right field. And for a few - ; even in this building. I suppose — it wasn't. They’d be wise to switch.” How about the man who starts in the right field and wants to advance. “I thing if I had one thing to tell a man like that,” Shanks said, “it would be to always take the disagreeable jobs. . . it’s not that the man who avoids disagreeable work will necessarily get fired. He probably won't But he won’t advance either.” “But w'hen an opening comes, when you need a branch manager. you look to the man you’ve come to depend on, the many you couldn’t help but notice,” Shanks said. Shanks believes career opportunities are better today than ever. “But if you turn the wrong W'ay in the beginning, don’t feel you have to stay that w'ay.” “A friend of mine just changed jobs at 57.

the rains—two or three times the normal fall. Now bears no longer terrorize | the town of New Mexico by invading them for food. There is food and water in the mountains again. The dairy in Dallas that made a fortune hist summer by selling w'ater in cartons at 40 cents a gallon now »»ells only milk. There is a five-year supply of 1 water in the lakes north of Dal- ; las. In fact, w'ater rationing has almost vanished in the Southwest. But Texas temperatures still range over 100 degrees and there has been no rain in the interior of the state for a month. This L* noimal for a Texas summer but seems out of character after 2’ L , months of cloudbursts and floods. “More rain is a vital necessity particularly in the western por- j tion of the state," Commissioner White says. White agrees with H. L. Jacobson chief meterologist of the

weather forecasting center at Kansas City, that the southwestern drought is broken. But no one knows whether it • en. Meanwhile, farmers in Karris complain that rain is preventing harvest of the first decent wheat crop in years. And in Oklahoma. farmers say the rain has caused the poorest wheat crop in years. Heavy tains and floods ruined thousands of acre** in the soring and continued rais have delayed the harvest. In Missouri, harvest nr- iietions are lower than last yea r due to soil bank acreage reduct i ns and bad weather. Joseph Berry. Colorado state climatologist. also calls the drought ended “as of now'.” “We have no way of knowing.” he says, “whether we are entering a long period of wet years or whether a cycle of dry years will return.”

Delta Theta Tau Delegates at Home Mrs. Grace Moore of Roachdale and Mrs. Ann Stew r art, returned Thursday from Long Beach, California where they were delegates to the National Convention of Delta Theta Tau Inc., July 10, 11, 12, 13.

It also gave $5000. to the Pilot Guide Dog Foundation, their second gift of this amount. A total of 5064 members representing 195 chapters, gave $134,195.32 for charity in their own communities, during the past year, an increase of 11% over last year. The sorority also contributed 23,883 volunteer hours. In many instances, members of the sorority collected money for Cancer, Polio, Mental Health, Red Cross etc. These collections amounted

You're Never Too Old to Change Jobs NEWARK. N. J. (UP) — So you’re 30 years old and don’t like your job. “Quit.” This is the advice of Carrol M. Shanks, w'ho gave up a career as a law' professor at the age of 32. Today he is the $250,000-a-year president of the Prudential Insurance Co. “You’ve got to like what you’re doing,” Shanks said in an interview at his office here. “And if you don’t—you’re never too old to : change—provided, that is, you aren’t just hopping around. Shanks himself w r as 10 years married, with two small children, W'hen he decided in 1931 that teaching was not for him. He moved to a Manhattan law film but again w-as disappointed.

DALLAS, Tex. (UP)—The end of one of the longest and most costly droughts in history is w'ritten in green across the land scape of the Southw'est this summer. The prevailing colors for the, past seven years have been the yellow of dying crops and the biown of parched grass. This year, many parts of the Southwest have had too much rain. The drought was almost as expensive as war. Texas Commissioner of Agriculture John White estimates it cost his state two billion dollars. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri suffered almost as much. Only Eastern New Mexico has not enjoyed
