Editorial-Wise Many Good Samaritans You know this Winter weather makes you realize that there are quite a few good folks around especially when you get stuck in a snowdrift. Many of us had that experience the past few days and we are glad to say that in practically every situation of this nature, the almost helpless driver had some person or persons come to his assistance. In speaking of the heavy snowfall, we want to mention and commend the city, county and state highway crews that put in long hours of hard work in making more than $00 miles of thoroughfares passable for, yes, in many cases, impatient drivers of motor vehicles. Out in rural districts of the county, many families took in stranded occupants of stalled cars and trucks during the weekend. These good people will never be forgotten by those they befriended. These winter storms have happened before and will happen again and we just can’t refrain from commenting on the spirit of helpfulness which prevails in this community in a time of difficulty such as many have just experienced. How About Spelling Bees? With no disrespect to today's pupils, we are somewhat alarmed at their inability to spell correctly. We have noticed in the past several years, in dealing with university and high school students, that they have trouble in spelling some of the most ordinary words. Could this be because in modern curriculums the art of spelling is being bypassed or even overlooked by present day school teachers. Now we are not trying to place the blame for incorrect spelling on anyone or any school. Back in our days at old First Ward we had an oldfashioned spelling bee every Friday afternoon. We youngsters even looked forward to it. Believe you me, it was a proud boy or girl who was still standing after the remainder of the spellers had missed words and taken their seats. We didn't know anything about chemistry or physics in those days but kids did know how to spell. We also found that high school Latin helped us in later years in our newspaper work and spelling which must be accurate. Diligent reading also helps in this respective field. How about it? Let's have some more of the “good old days” spelling bees!

fnaugurafion Fulfills Dream WASHINGTON UPI — For Lady Bird Johnson the inauguration of her husband today Is the triumphant culmination of a dream they have shared for 30 years. The First Lady, whose unflagging confidence and belief in him have sustained her husband through victory and defeat, appears to her friends to be walking on air these days. They say she has never appeared more radiant than she has during the past few days of inaugural festivities. But through it all she has never held herself aloof from those who helped fashion her husband's Nov. 3 victory. Mrs. Johnson feels the President's commitment to the “Great Society” also involves her. She hopes to work on Johnson mementoes for his boyhome and library. She has become more fash-ion-conscious in the past few months. Her clothes have a special flare and her new “romantic” hairdos, done by stylist Jean Louis, give her a regal look. She drew admiring smiles from the crowds Tuesday night when she swept into Constitution Hall for the inaugural concert clad in a red gown with a slight train. She also attended a supper dance given by Mrs. Albert Lacker, widow of the New York philanthropist, and Washington attorney Abe Fortas. Mrs. Johnson kept smiling throughout the concert. Part of the reason seemed to be that the President w’as having a wonderful time, too. They heard pianist Van Clibum, violinist Isaac Stern and excerpts from “Porgy and Bess” sung by There se Coleman and Todd Duncan. Mi-s. Johnson said she "loved the entire evening.” She beamed happiness at the supper dance when she was greeted with a hug and kiss by old friends like Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson.

IN MEMORY In loving memory of Ray Evens, who passed away January 20, 1962. Time helps to ease the sorrow, That parting always brings But leaves untouched the memories Of happy treasured things. So through the days that followed Many memories we hold dear Continue blooming in our hearts That keep you, Loved One Near! Wife, Wilma and family.
IN MEMORY In memory of Earl H. Frazier, who passed away January 20, 1950. Memories are treasures, none can steal, Death is a heart ache, none can heal Some may forget him since he is gone, But we shall remember no matter how long. Sadly missed by his mother, Mrs. Minnie Frazier, and family

pointless to play safe for an
overtrick or two.
West opens the ten of clubs and you ruff the second round of that suit. How do you play
the trumps ?
If you lead a low trump and finesse with dummy’s queen, you go down. East gets a trump trick with the king, and West gets a trump trick also. Still, it is not surely wrong to try this trump finesse. If you cannot afford to lose a trump trick, the only chance is to try the finesse and hope that West started with the doubleton king. If so, you can afford to 0 ive up a trump trick; If the king of hearts fails to win a trick, you must play to avoid the loss of a trump trick.
SAFETY PLAY When the king of hearts wins, you adopt the safety play of leading out the ace of trumps. The king drops, and you would return to ycur hand with a diamond to lead a trump toward dummy. You would lose only one trump trick unless the spades were so badly divided that no play could possibly work. The disadvantage of the safety play is that you often make ten tricks instead of eleven; but this costs only 30 points (the value of an overtrick). The advantage of the safety play is that you make your contract when East has the singleton king; >ou would go down if you took the finesse. This difference amounts to about 500 points. You can afford to give up 30 points to make sure that you don’t lose 500 points. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens the bidding with 1 NT (16 to 18 points), and the next player passes. You hold: Spade K, Heart 9 6 3, Diamond 5 3 2, Club A Q J 6 4 3. What do you say? Answer: Bid three notrump. The combined count is 26 to 28 points, which is almost surely enough for game at notrump but is not likely to be enough for game at clubs. Don’t worry about the singleton in spades; the king will almost surely promote your partner's strength in that suit.
