Editorial-Wise Don't Wait — Step Up! Greencastle Developments has nearly reached its goal of having $30,000 stock sold and paid for by its Annual Meeting which will be held next week. Altogether $26,000 of stock has been subscribed and all but $2,000 has been paid in. The success of Greencastle Developments is a MUST if Greencastle is to progress and become an even better place in which to live. Surely we all subscribe to the goals of Greencastle Developments and we ll want to give it our support. It needs your financial support as well as your moral support. Those planning to buy stock should step up and do it now—purchases can be made at any of the financial institutions. The people who are donating their time to organizing this are busy people just like the rest of us, so it would be a great help if everyone would take action on their own initiative rather than wait to be called upon. This is an important undertaking. Let s all get behind it and put it over before February 8, the Annual Meeting. Boys Are To Be Commended What would you do if you came across a house burning in the night and an elderly man helpless in the bitter cold ? That situation was just what faced four Greencastle boys last week. Terry Pehan, John Norton. Steve Wright and Tom See were riding through the country and happened to see the night sky lit up in a vivid red. Around 1:30 a.m. they drove into the farm yard of Thomas Best and found his house a mass of flames. The boys found Mr. Best with a blanket wrapped around him next to a fence. Two of the boys phoned for the fire department while the other two began the task of controlling the fire started by flying embers. When the fire truck from the State Farm arrived, the boys had everything fairly under control. It is entirely possible that without the intervention of the four youths, the fire damage might have been greater. And of even more importance, Mr. Best was taken to a place of safety and not left in the elements.

Sheinwold On Bridge Siam Depends On Right Singleton By Alfred Sheinwold National Men’s Team Champion Bruce Elliott and Percy Sheardown, leading Tronto experts, managed to bid a difficult slam with two useful singletons during the 1964 Team Trials last December. Perhaps Sheardown was lucky that dummy showed up with the right king, but the bidding was instructive even if a trifle bold.

in the Bible, there would be less could see a reasonable chance

for slam at hearts as soon as i he heard the opening bid of one * heart. It would be enough if South held nothing but K-Q of hearts and A-K of diamonds, but not if South had his A-K in clubs instead of diamonds. There was no need for North to guess which high cards his partner had. North could solve the problem by describing his own hand. South would then know whether or not the partnership had a good "fit.” North accomplished his mission by bidding diamonds and spades, after which he jumped in hearts. Powerful bidding in three suits shows shortness in the fourth suit, so North described a hand with good heart support, slam ambition, and only a singleton in clubs.

JUMPS TO SLAM

Sheardown knew he might have trouble if North had the king of diamonds rather than the king of spades, but he knew that the singleton club was pure gold. His jump to slam was bold, but justified. West made the normal lead of the king of diamonds, then shifted to a trump. Sheardown won the trump in dummy with the jack and ruffed a diamond. He cashed the ace of clubs, ruffed a club in dummy and ruffed

another diamond.

Declarer continued the plan by ruffing another club with dummy’s ace of trumps and ruffing still another diamond in his own hand. This dropped the ace, so that Sheardown could draw the last trumps and get to dummy with a spade to discard a club on the queen of

diamonds.

by Randall Collins Did you know that there Is a genuine 50c American bill or a 3c bill. This may seem strange in our present coin-operated society, however, at one time in our nation’s history, these notes were very much accepted. During the early years of the Civil War the banks suspended all specie payments. Coins of all denominations were eventually hoarded from circulation due to this situation. Merchants then faced a somewhat similar situation as they do today since their businesses required small change. Finally, on July 17, 1862, Congress passed an act which authorized an issue of 5, 10, 25, and 50 cent notes. These notes later became known as Postage Currency since they did resemble the postage stamps of that day. In addition to this act there

w'ere four other issues produced by the government from 1862 until 1876. The later issues were called Fractional Currency. An estimated two million dollars in this type is still outstanding today. Most of this figure has probably been destroyed, but, many pieces are in collections. Fractional Currency Shields were quite common back in this period. Specimen notes were mounted on a cardboard shield. These notes were made available to banks and other inter-

ested parties so that questionable notes could be compared with genuine notes as an aid in detecting counterfeits. Fractional Currency Note values differ depending on the isue date, denomination, and note condition. Robert Friedberg’s book "Paper Money of the United States’’ is a recognized reference for values on these notes. The note illustrated above is a 10c denomination issued March 3rd, 1863.
