Sheinwold On Bridge Power To Ruff Better Than Ruffing By Alfred Sheinwold If you keep your credit in good shape you don't have to pay cash. If everybody knows that you're able to pay, you may not have to (at least for a time). The same principle sometimes applies in bridge. South dealer JUoth sides vulnerable NORTH A Q

South
wins the first
trick with
the ace
of spades and thinks
first of
ruffing losing
spades in
the dummy. If he does so, East
will over-ruff, and West will still get a trump trick. South is no better off if he nn - just one spade in dummy. He can then draw three rounds of trumps and start the diamonds, but West ruffs the second of diamonds and cashes a spade. The solution to South's problem is to keep the power to ruff spades in dummy, but not to ruff any. TRUMP DANGER South should see the danger of a 1-2 trump break. Since he can
J
afford to lose one trump trick, he should lose it while he can still ruff a spade in dummy. In other words, South should lead a low trump at the second trick. Since there is still a trump in dummy South is in no danger from the spades. If the defenders lead another spade, dummy can ruff. If they return a trump, South draws three rounds of trumps, clears the ace of diamonds out of the way, and enters dummy with a club to discard spades on the high diamonds. He doesn't have to ruff a spade: he just needs the ability to do so. It is true that South gives up the chance to make an overtrick when he leads a low trump at the second trick. Still, the difference between making the slam and going down one is 1530 points. Who cares about a 30point overtrick with 1530 points at stake? DAILY QUESTION Partner deals and bids one heart, and the next player passes. You hold: S-10 9 8 7 4 2 H-J 10 5 4 D-7 C-6 2. What do you say? Answer: Bid two hearts. You have only 1 point in high cards, but should count about 4 additional points for your short suits. Be satisfied to raise the hearts: you cannot also afford to show the spades. TELL WHAT THEY WANT What does the Negro in a large northern city want. The Columbus Ohio Dispatch recently asked a group of prominent Negroes of the city and its metropolitan area. Some of the answers: Harvey H. Alston, retiied police inspector: " Job opportunities in business and industry still lag far behind the need. Unemployment is high, and training for new skills and scientific fields are not within the reach of the average Negro.” Joe Roberts, professional basketball player: “We are no longer satisfied with being the first Negro or the only Negro to play a certain role in the community or to be hired for a job, but, we want to be among the many Negroes selected or hired. When we no longer have to be twice as good for less money or recognition. the status of the Negro will be more and more on the rise.” The Rev. Arthur A. Sebbs: “The Negro is seeking a place of equal status with the rest of the community in all walks of life. He is 'fed up' with his sit-
uation, no matter how good his job may look, or how pretty his lawn may look ” Nelson L. Newsom, executive secretary, East Side YMCA; “It is still a fact that the Negro can secure the financing to purchase fine cars, but can not secure the financing necessary to ourchase a home where he chooses ami thus find a w'ay out of the "ghetto” and out of de facto school segregation.” Mrs. Jeanne Woodward, housewife: "We, the Negro segment of society, are confronted daily with segregated housing, inequality of employment, inequality of education specifically labor unions apprenticeship programs in craft unions, denial in 90 per cent of all private civic groups in Columbus, denial to swim in any of the swimming pools with the exception of one.”

4 ‘We have been living on the contence of those boxses you
and George sent us,” a soldier in a New York regiment with the Union Army of the Potomac wrote from near Fredericksburg in 1863. He added, “Nothing was spoiled except that card of biscuits . . . those wer molded some but we used over half of them this morning in a soup made of potatoes and onions and a little flour to thicken it and then put the biscuits in it and made a
nice dish for a soldier.”
This letter-sender indicated he and the fellow soldiers embraced in his term “we,”
were beneficiaries of a communally dispatched box. He asked the recipient of his letter to “thank Mr. Burdicks a thousand times for me also Mrs. Maxon for those pies . . . and those fride cakes and ginger snaps are. first rate and the dried berries they are very nice . . . and the dried beef • .. and the apple sauce that was first rate.” In mentioning that the boxes had been opened at regimental headquarters to see that they contained no whisky, ha transmitted another accolade. He said the searchers at headquarters had sampled the apple sauce and made a favorable report. Such letters from men at the Eastern and Western fronts in 1863, as winter slowed down, then made most of the antagonist forces inactive, naturally stirred kin or well-wishers at home to respond with more and larger boxes. Thus the monotonous beef or pork and peas or beans rations referred to here earlier in this series, were supplemented and relieved for men in the ranks by packages or boxes dispatched by kinfolks or relief societies (the Civil War forerunners of the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc., on the home and war fronts). —CLARK KINXAIRD r<—} Arrival of a crate of packages for soldiers from a Northern locality —from a contemporary drawing remindful of Christmas at the front In 1863.

“SIGN FROM THE CHURCH" MADE HIM BEAT PRIEST—A nurse tries to make Msgr. Francis X. Fitzgibbons comfortable in Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, N. Y., where he was taken after suffering a savage beating about the head at the hands of Andrew Murphy, 43, a locksmith and former mental patient. Patrolman Philip Joy holds Murphy by the shirt, and also holds the long metal ash tray Murphy admitted using, because “I had a sign from the church.” The beating took place in the basement of Christ the King Church.

INSTANT STICKTOITIVENESS for people who keep slipping up on saving
If you’re long on planning to save money, and short on following through, here’s an idea that’s tailor made for you: The Payroll Savings Plan. It starts you saving instantly. Doesn’t cost you a nickel’s worth of will power. And it can give you thousands of dollars in savings before you know it. The idea of the plan is cunningly simple: you don’t save your money, you put somebody else up to it. Your employer. Every payday you have him set aside a small amount from your pay and put it towards the purchase of a U. S. Savings Bond. You don’t see the money that’s being saved, so you hardly miss it. And since your employer’s not as apt to forget about saving — your nest egg builds up fast. Millions of Americans use the Payroll Savings Plan to save money, so you know it works. The money you save this way helps your country, too, by giving Uncle Sam financial strength to stand up to the enemies of freedom.
Why not say the word to your paymaster and get started saving this payday? Your new perseverance will amaze your friends, your family and yourself.
Quick facts about Series C Savings Bonds • You get $4 for every $3 at maturity • You can get your money when you need it • Your Bonds are replaced free If lost, destroyed or stolen • You can buy Bonds where you bank, or on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work
