Dear Roberta Roesch: • As a man who has been an employer of women for over 30 years, I admire your consistently practical advice to women who work. But from my most recent observations, I wish you would point out to them more often that one of the things they shouldn’t do is to wear hair rollers to work — be they pink, orange, yellow, purple or any other color. Fall Into Disfavor Even when the guilty parties make a beeline to the powder room to remove these monstrosities from their heads before the office day begins, they put themselves in disfavor. Almost every day, I have to review requests from women employees who want to move ahead in their careers. Yet I have wondered on numerous occasions if the women who appear at work this way know how it affects their chances of promotion. Their willingness to appear on the street, as well as in office corridors, like they are still being waited on in the beauty parlor makes me wonder if their lack of personal pride would not show up in their work. In addition, it makes me feel that these women are more unorganized than I would like to think they are, because they apparently are incapable of completing their grooming before they leave for work. Radar Menace Any girl or woman who is looking for opportunities in her career needs to take the time to look at herself objectively in the mirror before she leaves for work. Then if she finds she looks like something that could only attract lightning or mess up the nation’s radar defense system, she had better remove the rollers and hair clips. An Employer. Dear Employer: To your words of wisdom I can only say ‘1 agree” and "‘Amen, Amen.” Dear Roberta Roesch: I am able to keep books and do simple accounting since I have done this for my husband for years. Now, however, I feel it is time to combine this work with a part-time job. Will bookkeeping and accounting be enough, or should I offer typing, too, I cannot type at the present. Mrs. N. B. Dear Mrs. N. B.: Typing is always an extra asset when you are seeking a job. Since you already have a knowledge of bookkeeping and

If you can’t go out and invest in a typing course at the present time, try to teach yourself to type by obtaining books from the library on the subject or purchasing one of the manuals available in most book stores. OPPORTUNITY TIP FOR THE DAY: When you stop doing something you become nothing.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS By United Press International WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has filed suit to block the proposed merger of First City National Bank and Southern National Bank in Houston on grounds that it would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act.
WASHINGTON—New orders for durable goods increased in September after having dropped for two consecutive months, the Commerce Department reports. The increase was 3.6 per cent over August. Orders rose faster than shipments, so the order backlog increased.
NEW YORK—Three lawsuits filed in New York have accused Douglas Aircraft Co. of Santa Monica, Calif., of concealing potential large loss factors in statements made in registering a $75 million issue of debentures last May. A Roslyn, N.Y., dentist is the principal plaintiff. Also named as defendants are the brokerage firm of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Ernst & Ernst, accountants, and Donald Douglas and Donald Douglas, Jr. The suits allege that the Douglas company waited until after the debentures were marked to reveal that it was faced with

The Lighter Side
United Press International WASHINGTON UPI — In a newsletter to his constituents this week, Rep. Laurence J. Burton, R-Utah, handed out some samples of what he identified as "election year humor.” One of them said, “Things are so bad these days that a conservative investor is one who takes his money out of the stock market and heads for a Las Vegas craps table.” Things also are pretty bad if that is typical of the jokes we will be hearing for the rest of the campaign- In fact, it is the type of humor that I tend to take seriously. I am nothing if not conservative where investments are concerned, so when I saw Burton’s newsletter I called up my broker. “Hello.” “Hello. Is this Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith?” “No. This is Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner, Smith and Rollum.” “Rollum. Who's he?” “Mr. Rollum has charge of our dice accounts.” “Let me speak to him, please.” “Rollum speaking.” “Mr. Rollum, I have just
decided to take my money out of the stock market and invest it in Las Vegas.” “Very well. You want blue chips, I presume?” “I haven’t made up my mind yet. What do you recommend?” “Are you interested in high dividends for steady income, long-term capital appreciation or quick profit-taking?” “I would like a well- diversified portfolio.” “In that case I suggest splitting your investment among craps, roulette, blackjack and slot machines.” “How about football pools?” “They are attractive to small investors but a specialized knowledge is desirable. Besides that, the returns are seasonal.” “Are they sold over the counter?” “No. Under the counter.” “If I were to invest in craps would you advise snake eyes or boxcars.” “According to the latest Dow Jones dice averages, both have a price-earnings ratio of 30-to-l. That puts them in the high yield class with a noncomittant risk better left to speculators.” “Okay. Deal me out for the time being. But if the price of bingo drops below 10 cents, I’ll take five cards.”

State Attorney Wins At Bridge By Alfred Sheinwold When you defend against a slam at rubber bridge you think only of defeating the contract. You must consider the danger of giving declarer an overtrick in tournament play, as may be seen in a hand played by Deputy Attorney General Edward M. Belasco a few weeks ago in the bridge tournament held at the end of the California State Bar Convention at Anaheim. South dealer Neither side vulnerable NORTH

king of hearts with the ace. This was clearly the best rubber bridge play. If south had no hearts there was little chance of defeating the contract. If South had the missing three of hearts, East would win the first trick and return a low heart. Then West would win a trump trick if he had as little as Q-x, 10-x-x or even 0-x-x-x. COSTLY PLAY East’s play cost him several match points. Belasco ruffed the first trick, drew trumps and led a diamond to dummy’s ace. Then he led the jack of hearts through East. East played low, but Belasco was in no doubt about the location of the queen of hearts. He discarded his low club and the* easily took the rest of the tricks. If East had covered the jack of hearts, Belasco would have ruffed in order to discard the club later on dummy’s ten of hearts. Most players bid the slam with the South cards, so that making just twelve tricks would have given Belasco only an average score. The overtrick earned him a top score. Evidently lawyers interpret bridge hands in as many ways as they interpret laws—which may be why our courts and | bridge clubs are such busy | places.
DAILY QUESTION The other three players pass, and it is up to you, holding: S-A K Q 9 8 7 4 2; H-None; DK Q 5; C-J 7. What do you say? Answer: Bid just one spade. Do not dream of making a shutout bid on so powerful a hand. Even though partner has passed he may have something like the ace of diamonds and the king of clubs, and you will have a reasonable play for a slam. You do not have enough high cards for an opening bid of two spades. Bid just one and await developments.
