Sheinwold On Bridge Expert Guesses Right But Only if Necessary National Men’s Team Champion Since an expert knows more the hand and more about the players he guesses right about 20 per cent more often than the average player. The expert’s biggest advantage is that he doesn't try to guess when he has a sure thing.

Play.
Anybody who is looking at all of the cards can see that the king of clubs is the winning play. If you weren’t looking at all of the cards, you might play the jack of clubs about three times out of ten. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you guess right about seven times out of ten. The only thing to be ashamed of is guessing at all when you should make a sure thing out of this
hand.

The young man was given such a thrill, the hair raising on top of his head, he took to his heels, running until he reached the cabin. Yet from these pioneer fathers and mothers descended our men and women of today, our strength and our manhood, our refuge and safety for America.
Nothing Went Right HOUSTON UPI — Nothing went right Christmas Day for a teen-aged Houston car thief. The 16-year-old boy stole a car but it ran out of gas. He stole another car but it overturned as he rounded a coner at high speed. Uninjured, he fled the scene and stole yet a third car which promptly burst into flames as he drove it. Then a relative turned him into the police.

by Mrs. Elizabeth Dunlavy. Fillmore If we could travel backward a half century or more, and could view the travel of an early day, we would see a band of covered wagons, slowly winding their way along the creeks, over hill and plain, through the dense forests until they came to a large spring at the foot of a hill, where they could camp temporarily. The family of their pioneers lived in their wagons for weeks, doing their own cooking in kettles and pots, swinging on an iron rod over their fire of sticks and brush, picked up from the hillside. The mothers and daughters were soon busy preparing the evening meal which consisted of grated corn meal bread, made in large pones and fried over the fire, such wild mats as the fathers'and sons brought in from hunting, coffee made from parched wheat, etc. Tents hastily thrown up protected them from the chill of evening, while a large fire provided the warmth. While the mothers and daughters prepared the meals the fathers and sons took their axes and began to fell the trees to build the cabin. The cabin | was built of hewn logs, filled in between with mortar, greased paper for the windows, the | puncheon floor, and the ladder | which led to the loft. Often ! when strangers came to spend the night, the ladder was | drawn up after them, when ; they went to bed, and let down again in the morning. One J large room served as a sitting room, parlor, bedroom and i kitchen, with the beds made by | driving posts, in the corners of I the room, and held together by | connecting cords. Around the cabin the thick ! forests grew, and the wild animals found their homes. The wildcat and panther were friendly and daily visitors while the fathers and sons were hewing logs to build the cabin they would also listen for the blowing of the dinner horn, for they knew by that signal that the panther was near the cabin and that was the only way the mothers had to call for help. The cry of the panther was the one weird cry at night when heard in the dense forest, often giving the sons a bad scare when forced to return home through the woods at night.
S'
The story is told of one of these sturdy sons returning home through the forest, following the trail by the blazed trees, when he heard such a cry. A neighbor boy knowing he had an apathy for the cry of j the panther, secreted himself in the thickest, darkest part of
The Pentagon
By HENRY CATHCART
Central Press Washington Writer YPTASHIXGTON—Three Pentagon employes recently comW pleted an official inspection trip of military activities across the country. They found on their return that each of them had spent about $100 of their own money over and above the per diem allowance of the government, which is $16. That $16 is the maximum the government allows on the major daily expense account Items for food, ® hotel and incidentals. The rising costs of these items have made the figure unreal. Some government employes are flatly refusing to take out-of-town assignments for ^ this reason. It’s not so much the money but ^ the principle of the thing. They feel they should not be asked—in effect—to subsidize Uncle Sam out of their own pockets for work
the government requires.
One government attorney is particularly incensed. In one year he found that he had spent several hundred dollars of his own for
Only $16 a day travel expenses over the maximum permitted. not enough. He deducted the excess as a necessary and
unreimbursed expense of doing business on his
Income tax. The Internal Revenue Service disallowed the de-
duction.
Government employes of like thinking, and there are more of them than you would suspect, are seeking ways, including legislation, to provide that actual out-of-pocket travel expenses which are demonstrably legitimate are reimbursed completely. They are even thinking of taking the IRS decision into the courts to dramatize what they consider a completely unfair and unrealistic situation.

• AUTOMATION AT THE WHITE HOUSE—The White House is experimenting with a punch card machine to help it solve its manpower problem. The idea is to speed up the process of selecting the right man for the right high government job. Every president in recent years has complained about th* difficulty of getting the properly qualified man in the right job. As the work of government grows more complex this
difficulty has mounted.
Personnel officials have found it impossible for them to keep in mind the names of the many experts in many fields
from which government must recruit its leaders.
What the White House is trying to work out is a punch card system whereby such men are classified by age, education, experience, salary level, etc. If the Defense Department needs a man 25 to 35 years old with a specified technical training, the
punch card system should be able to deliver about 25 or more candidates to choose from. The White House personnel officer will then be able to use these names to obtain their files and examine them in detail in order to pick the
best qualified man.
Their ultimate hope, of course, is to get the right man in the right job. But officials stress that the selection process is still a human one. The machine will only produce the list of properly qualified names. From that point on selection it carried out by human beings. No one seems to like the idea of computers being responsible for nicking the men who run the government.

Sight Is A Priceless Gift

their gift of precious corneas for transplantation. Many more thousands in various stages of blindness patiently wait for the treasured corneas that have been promised by unknown benefactors. A massive organizational program for "banking” corneas was undertaken under the supervision of Dr. R. Town ley Baton of the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital in New York City. Dedicated Agency The Eye Bank for Sight Restoration was created in 1944 to serve as a dedicated agency for finding the generous people who would bequeath, after their death, the tiny microscopically thin piece of eye tissue—a practically "invisible” fragment that spelled the difference between incapacitating blindness and serviceable sight. The magnificent response of many benefactors has made this program a national one, with eye banks in 100 cities in America alone, under the jurisdiction of the Eye Bank Association of America. Still Vast Shortage Despite the gigantic expansion of this program, there is still a vast shortage in the number of available ‘‘gift corneas.” The banking of corneas has stimulated far - reaching research aimed at restoring sight in many types of blindness previously accepted as incurable. There can hardly be a greater example of humanitarian philanthropy than the unselfishness of those who leave behind the gift of sight as a living testimomal of man’s devotion to
man.

"To see a world in a grain of sand. And a Heaven in a wild
flower.
Hold infinity in the palm
of your hand.
And eternity in an hour.” When William Blake wrote these lines in the 18th century.
he offered a magnificently gentle poetic tribute to the joys of seeing. Last month a child who had been blinded by a rare eye dis-
ik ease contributed Dr. Coleman his own immor-
tal testimonial
to the wonders of seeing. After a "corneal graft operation” that successfully returned his sight, he said, "When I kissed my mommy before, I didn’t know sha was so pretty and that her eyes were blue—until today.” Priceless Possession Only when sight no longer exists can man fully understand the immensity of the loss of this priceless possession. For a fortunate few this treasure is returned, to transform a sunless, lustreless, colorless world into one filled with ecstatic happiness. The return of the treasure is one human being’s planned, generous gift to another human
being.
One of the truly miraculous accomplishments of modern medicine in the field of eye surgery is the successful transplantation of the cornea of an eye from one person to another. Delicate Operation This delicate operation, now performed by eye surgeons in major hospitals all over the world, has evolved from a fictitious fantasy to a regularly re-
peated reality.

The First Visit to the Dentist
National Children’s Dental Health Week will be with us again soon —from February 7 to 13. It’s a good time to review your youngster’s oral hygiene habits... and, if he hasn't been introduced to the family dentist, to do so now. That first visit, incidentally, should not be delayed past the age of three. Ask the dentist to show him how to brush his teeth—the way they grow—down on the upper teeth, up on the lower teeth, cheek-side and tongue-side—then brush the biting edges, all at least ten times.
Here’s a tip. Give your child his own foldup tube of flavorful toothpaste. The metal container is handy and breakproof, and having his own tube will make the toothbrushing habit more fun. Proper oral hygiene will serve him well throughout his lifetime.
