1 Th« Daily Bannar, Graancastla, Indiana Monday, March 1, 1965 Editorial-Wise Something To Think About Last week The Brazil Daily Times carried the following editorial which is certainly worthy of osme consideraing editorial which is certainly worthy of some consideraThe Indiana Senate took another slap at the people of Clay and Parke counties yesterday and passed a reapportionment bill which will deny voters of the two counties the right to cast ballots for a senator for another four years. Clay and Parke counties were denied the right to vote for a senator last Fall. In fact, neither has elected a senator since 1960. If the present majority reapportionment bill passes the House as is expected and is signed by Gov. Roger D. Branigin, it will become law. Then we can do nothing but sit back and wait another four years and hope we don't get reapportioned out of voting again in 1968. Must Clay and Parke County voters wait another four years to cast their ballots? If so, both counties will have suffered through an eight year drought without a vote. The bill passed the Senate strictly along party lines with 33 Democrats voting for the bill and 15 Republicans against. ■ The legislators appear to have been more interested in slicing up the state in odd shaped districts for their own political advantage than considering the best interests of the people of Indiana. •' It is expected that the political party in power, in this case the Democrat party, would reapportion to its own advantage, but this does not give either party the right to forget the people. Even many of the Republicans have shown little interest in the local problem. A district comprised of Parke, Clay, Owen and Putnam counties makes much more sense. It would be geographically more compact and it would prevent no one from having an election in 1966. It would not greatly favor either political party although according to recent figures it would give the Democrat party a slight advantage. The people of both counties should stand up and be heard. Voters should immediately write their representatives and express their feelings. Letters also should be written to Goy. Branigin as he has the power to veto this bad piece of legislation.
CAMPAIGN' NOTE NEW YORK UPI—A shoe care company executive says he has received hundreds of letters from bootblacks who want the pictures of the two. major presidential candidates and campaign slogans on shoe-shine boxes. Irving J. Bottner, president
of Esquirt, said he plans to put out special boxes for the politi-cally-minded bootblacks. Some will have both candidates and others the individual candidate for the strictly partisan bootblack.

Sheinwold On Bridge Bridge Players Are Very Devious People By Alfred Sheinwold National Men’s Team Champion "Entertainers are simple, direct people,” Jane Dulo remarked the other evening after a bridge game. "If I want to make you laugh I do something funny, but you bridge players are so devious.” The famous comedienne w r as referring deviously to a hand that my wife had just played.

opened the
king of
spades, and Miss Dulo overtook with the ace and returned her other suit. West won and continued with a third spade. Since East was obviously out of spades my wife ruffed with dummy's jack of hearts. Unable to over-ruff, Miss Dulo discarded a diamond. Declarer could not afford to did a trump; West would win with the ace of hearts and lead a fourth spade, whereupon East would overruff dummy. lo avoid this my wife cashed the ace of diamonds and continued with the queen of diamonds, hoping to discard her last spade. Miss Dulo ruffed, preventing the discard, and obliging my wife to over-ruff. PROCESS CONTINUED Undaunted, my wife led a a club to the king and continued with the jack of diamonds. East ruffed, and my wife overruffed again. Declarer got back to dummy with the ace of clubs and led the ten of diamonds. East ruffed, and my wife overruffed for the third time. Now South led the queen of hearts, and West took the ace. When West led a fourth spade East w-as out of trumps and therefore could not over-ruff dummy. "See w’hat I mean?” Miss Dulo commented. "You want to take the hearts out of my hand, so you play diamonds and clubs to do so. Bridge players are devious.” I’ll remind her of this the next time I watch her on television and laugh until I cry. There must be a less devious w'ay to bring tears to my eyes. DAILY QUESTION Dealer opens with one notrump, and you are next, holding: Spade K Q J 9 6, Heart A, Diamond 8 7 3 2, Club 10 4 2. What do you say? Answer: Pass. It is too dangerous to overcall in a fivecard suit regardless of which side is vulnerable. If one of the small clubs were changed to a spade, you would have a borderline nonvulnerable over-all of two spades.
