Don't Be Setlafled With Only One Play By AIM ShctewoM When 18 famous experts played a round-robin last November to determine the North American team for 1986, you might suppose that the bridge leould be very good. It was, but there were also some amaxing boner*.

and he eventually had to lose another heart trick. This is the way you might expect to see the hand played in the Tuesday Afternoon Bridge and Nature Study Society. An expert should play the hand better even in his sleep. NO BUSH South should not rush to lead the singleton heart from dummy. Instead, he should cam the top spades and ruff a spade. Only then is it time to lead a heart and take the singleton out of dummy. If the defenders fail to lead trumps. South can make his contract by ruffing two hearts in the dummy. If they do lead trumps. South wins the second trump with dummy's king and ruffs another spade. nils sets up dummy’s last spade. South ruffs one heart with dummy’s last trump and cashes the good spade to get rid of his other heart. The correct line of play gives South two chances for his contract instead of staking everything on ruffing two hearts in the dummy. Two chances are better than one.

The Lighter Bide WASHINGTON UPI — At this time there is always a lot of talk about “starting the year off right.’’ It is based on the ridiculous notion that if the year begins on a constructive note, the pattern will continue. Actually, as

On The Farm Front WASHINGTON UPI — The Agriculture Department estimates the costs of farming in 1966 will total about 830 billion, up about 3 per cent from farm expenses in 1964. The department said the increase is due mainly to higher prices for goods and services used in farming, particularly feeder livestock, and another gain in overhead costs such as interest and taxes. The expenses for commodities and services on non-farm origin are almost 3 per cent above 1964, while outlays for farm-produced items — feed, seed, and livestock — are up closer to 5 per cent, the department said. A consolation is that cash receipts from farming also are larger and will more than offset the gain in costs, the depart-

ment said.

Farm production expenses in 1966 are more likely to rise again, the department predicted. But the increase is not likely to be as much as in 1965. Hie agency said the amount spent on several important items in the farmer’s budget will be larger, especially for fertilizer and pesticides. A gain also is likely in 1966 in the costs of depreciation, taxes, interest, and

insurance.

Agricultural Research Sendee scientists are developing miniature white hogs for use as research animals. They are about one-third the weight of a nor-

mal hog.

ARS said the little hogs will aid the drug testing program of the Food and Drug Administration and also may help scientists learn more about hog nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry. Also, they offer some farmers a way to increase income by raising research animals for investigators at many research, testing, and assaying laboratories.

we an know front **p4rt*ncc, it farely work* but that way. * Various chart* and graphs show that the average life span of a new year’s resolution is approximately 14 days, give or take Saturday night. Hie result is that we concentrate within one two-week period a full 12 month’s supply of high purposes and fortitude. Hiis tends to make the year lopsided and unbalanced. The country would be better off if we staggered our resolutions in An orderly fasbion, releasing a uniform amount at fixed intervals over the entire calendar. There being 26 letters in the alphabet or exactly half the number of weeks in a year, I propose the following system be adopted: People whose last names begin with “A” would abide by their resolutions during the first two weeks of January, as usual. Those whose surname initial is “B” would take the next two weeks. And so on dowft the line. Thus, during any given period, a sizable percentage of the population would be living up to their good intentions. You can easily see what an improve-

ment mat would be ever previous conditions. Tm not too sharp at mathematics, but I figure my time would come during the fortnight of Oct. 30-Nov. 12. In the interest of practicing what I preach, I have started the New Year in my normal dissolute manner, but I have already drafted a set of resolutions that I intend to adhere to next fall. 1. I will not sit around hoping that the autumn leaves in my yard will be blown over into my neighbor’s yard. If necessary, I will rake them into his yard. 2. I will not wait until the first snowstorm to put snow tires on my car. At some point during this period I will tell my wife to change tires. 3. I will not awaken my family on Veterans Day by blowing a bugle unless I can find where they hid it. 4. I will hot put the lawnmower away for the winter before the grass stops growing. 5. I will keep my head when all about me are losing theirs and blaming it on me. If the other W’s in the land are equally resolute, Oct. 30Nov. 12 will be a fortnight to remember.

By Phil Newsom Three revolts in less than two weeks not only demonstrate the continuihg instability of too many newly independent African countries but also the decline in the political fortunes of Red China. Beginning Dec. 22 and continuing into this week, military coups have topped the governments of Dahomey, the Central African Republic and Upper Volta. Each represented a blow to Red China. In Dahomey, the military government of Gen. Christophe Soglo suspended relations with Red China and gave the staff of the embassy 72 hours to leave the country. In the Central African Republic, the new government

Bangui and ordered a census of all Communist Chinese. Bangui had been one of the largest Red Chinese propaganda centers in Africa. It was the recent scene of a large Communist Chinese industrial trade fair where the Chinese sold cutrate goods ranging from textiles to motorcycles. In the Upper Volta, where President Maurice Yameogo surrendered with apparent relief his reins of government to the military, there were reports the army acted to prevent a take-over by pro-Peking sympathizers. The president had accused both Peking and Ghana of plotting his overthrow. There were, Of course, other reasons for the actions of the military. Including popular unrest over economic conditions

and religious difference*. But a distrust and a dislike for the policies of Red China were common factors. Within the past year, criticisms of Red China’s subversion policies also have come from other African nations, notably Kenya, Niger and Malawi. Burnudi broke relations with the Chinese on the charge that Peking had backed an anti-government coup. The Red Chinese also lost out in the Congo where a jungle revolt against the Leopoldville government had been supported in part by Chinese weapons. The Chinese influence remains strong in Tanzania where U. S. diplomats have been accused of spying and expelled and through whose port

rica.

The Red Chinese also remain a force in Brazzaville, capital of the former French Congo. The Africans may not agree with U. S. policies in South Viet Nam, but neither do they buy the Chinese argument that the war in Viet Nam symbolizes a new colonialism by which the Western powers hope to reoccupy Africa. But least of all do they like it when the Chinese declare that Africa is ripe for revolution— which could only be against governments now in power.
