Editsrial-Wise Blocking Railroad Crossings Numerous complaints have reached our desK during the past few days regarding tme blocking of railroad crossings by freight trains. In fact, one of The Banner employes lost an hour's work last week by being delayed a half an hour on two different occasions. From what we are told, the blocking of crossings occurs on Greencastle’s Southside and at the crossing east of the city near the IBM Plant. In our estimation, blocking of crossings should not be bypassed or overlooked. There could be an emergency such as a fire run or an ambulance call which might result in unnecessary costly damage or loss of a human life or lives. We asked James Houck, Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney, concerning the Indiana law on this matter. Mr. Houck asid that passenger trains could block a crossing for 15 minutes. He added that there was no specific time limit for freight trains but authorities, more or less, went on the same time allowed passenger trains. He also stated that if a conductor or any other person in charge of a freight train permits it to remain standing at a crosing and neglects to leave a space of 60 feet for highway traffic he is committing a misdemeanor. Mr. Houck also said that railroad officials usually had an excuse for their trains blocking crossings, one of them being a broken air hose connection. When pressed regarding these obstructions of crossings, railroad officials most always in the past have tendered their apologies and promised that they would not happen again. The fact is, they have happened again and just what is anybody going to do about it ?

Sheinwold On Bridge Know What You Mean In Doubling Low Bid By Alfred Sheinwold National Men’s Team Champion If we all agreed that the name of the sun is really “moon,” we might buy suntan lotion to protect us from the moonshine. This sort of confusion entangles bridge players when they want to double low contracts. Sooth dealer East-West vulnerable NORTH

Primarily, you double when you hope to defeat an opponent's bid; you want your partner to pass. Ever since the invention of the takeout double, aome fifty years ago, bridge players have doubled low contracts to urge partner to bid. The takeout double is so wellknown that w r e sometimes miss a good chance to double for penalties. There may be other

good reasons to double a low bid. When today's hand was played in the 1964 Team Trials, Toronto expert Sammy Kehela was alert w’hen his chance came to double two diamonds. Since North and Soul . had already bid four suits, Kehela could not be asking West to bid. A double may be meant for takeout when the opponents have bid two suits; you may be asking partner to choose between the two unbid suits. But j when the opponents have bid three (or four) suits, you cannot want your partner to bid. EXPECTED RUNOUT Actually, Kehela did not expect to defend against two diamonds. He expected the opponents to run to some other contract. In the meanwhile, West would know about the diamond strength in case he had to lead. So it turned out. West easily found the killing lead against five clubs. The defenders continued diamonds, and on the third round of diamonds South was in the middle. If South ruffed low, West would overruff; and if South ruffed with the King or ace he would have to lose a trump trick later on. South would have made five clubs against any opening lead but a diamond. Conceivably, West might lead a diamond without any help from his partner; the double made it a sure thing. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one club,

and the next player passes. You hold: Spade K 9 7 5 4, Heart K 8 6 4, Diamond J 6, Club 9 7. What do you say? Answer: Bid one spade. The hand is worth a response, and you make your response in your longest suit.

SPEAKING OF MONEY...

by Randall Collins Many readers ask how coins should be collected. In other words what method should be used to accumulate a nice collection. We will talk about U. S. coins in this writing. United States coins can be collected largely in four different ways: (1) by date and mint, or one of each date and of each mint of a given denomination; (2) by types, or, coins bearing different designs, for example the Buffalo nickle is a type, etc. (3) by date, mint, and die variety, (4) by types and major varities; this covers the different types of coins, but also includes the major varieties. For example, there is only one type of the Jefferson nickel, however, during the war years the metal content was changed to denote these war pieces by a large mint mark placed on the reverse above the dome of Monticello. While the basic Jefferson type is still appar .nt the addition of the large mint letter creates a major variety. An economical way to start a collection is to purchase a Whitman holder for Lincoln Cents and fill the holder as far as possible with coins from circulation. If you definitely decide to embark upon a coin collecting career you should purchase at least one book, the “Guide book of United States Coins” ($1.75) This book can be purchased at most bookstores and coin shops. The “redbook” as it is more commonly referred to contains information on types, mintages, coin values and will aid you in becoming familiar with the location of the mint marks. As a closing thought I would encourage you to keep only the coins you want for your collection and leave the remainder of your change in circulation. The current coin shortage is a serious problem in some localities and any coins left at home on the dresser or in the children's piggy bank can serve a more useful purpose in circulation.

Sure it's good looking. But you’ll never know what a honey the new F-85 really is until you buckle down behind the wheel. You’ll go for its rollicking V-8 response (with up to 315 horses)!

Johnson Will Attend Funeral For Churchill

WASHINGTON UPI —President Johnson, rapidly recovering from his bout with a severe cold, almost certainly will attend the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in London unless his doctors veto the trip. The trip to England for the state funeral Saturday would be the first time Johnson has been abroad since he took office 14 months ago. About the only thing that would forestall Johnson's plans to be at the funeral would be if his doctors argued strongly against it. Johnson remained in his suite at Bethesda Naval Hospital today, but his temperature was down to normal. Doctors Monday cut down the dose of antibiotics and aspirin-like salicylates he had been receiving since Saturday. Johnson discussed the Chur-

chill funeral and other world affairs Monday with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who spent about 30 or 40 minutes with the President. Other callers included Johnson’s wife Lady Bird, who also is under treatment at the hospital with an ailment similar to the President’s. Mrs. Johnson was reported to have improved considerably. The Johnson’s daughter, Luci, 17, the only member of the President’s family to escape illness, visited with her parents during the afternoon after attending classes at the National Cathedral School for girls. Lynda, the Johnsons’ older daughter, had been recovering from her cold at the White House.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Agriculture Department said tod y a record 1964 rice crop and prospects for continued heavy exports dominate the outlook for rice in the United States during the 1964-65 marketing year. In a review of the rice situation, the department said U. S. exports in 1963-yr totaled a record 41.4 million hundredweight. This is expected to go up slightly in 1964-65, and domestic demand is expected to continue its upward t end. The department said, however, that while total consumption in 1964-65 likely will reach a new high, it is not expected to offset fully the 1964 crop of 73.1 million hundred-

weight. As a result, the carryover next Aug. 1 may jump to 9.7 million hundredweight from the 7.5 million hundredweight of last Aug. 1. The department said the U. S. season average price received by farmers for rough rice in 1964-65 is currently estimated at $4.93 per hundredweight. This compares with $5.01 the previous year. The national acreage allotment for the 1965 rice crop is about the same as the 1.8 million acres for the 1964 crop. The national average price support rate for the 1965 crop is $4.50 per hundredweight o f rough rice, down 21 cents per hundredweight from last year.
