Pisregard Mother • On Problem Hands By -\ltred Sheinwold “My mother taught me to draw trumps first and then look around for the next thing to do,” writes a fan. “Why do you so often write about hands in which trumps should not be drawn ?” The answer follows the principle that it isn’t news when a dog bites a man.

He can draw trumps, discard a Club on one of dummy’s high diamonds and just give up one heart and two clubs. South cannot lose his contract no matter what happens. A dull hand to read about. In the actual hand South has no such cinch. If he draws trumps, he can discard one heart, but will lose the other heart and three clubs. The correct play is to draw no trumps voluntarily. South wins the first trick, cashes the ace of clubs and gives up a club. South takes the trump return and gives up another club. TWO CHANCES South will be safe if the missing clubs break 3-3, since his last club will be good. The other chance is that the opponent with club length will be out of trumps, and this happens to be the case. South wins any return and can easily ruff his last club with dummy’s king of trumps. This is the trick South loses if he draws trumps. In actual play you get many hands that present no problem. You draw trumps in such hands, but you wouldn’t enjoy reading about them. Follow Mother’s advice when you can see at the beginning of a hand exactly how you are going to play each trick. Do you own thinking (and leave the trumps alone) when you can see a problem coming up.

WASHINGTON UPI — An 18-year-old farm boy may be his mother’s greatest joy and his father’s greatest hope. But he may also, according to a government research project, be one of their heaviest expenses. Lucille Mork, an Agriculture Department economist, said studies show the cost of rearing children on the farm varies from region to region and differs with family income levels and the number of children in
a family.
But in general, Mrs. Mork said, a study indicates the cost of raising a farm youngster to the age of 18 may range from about $13,000 to about $27,000. Thr s figures actually are too low in terms of today’s prices and costs. They are based on 1961 prices because the study was based on a 1961 survey of consumer spending patterns. Over-all consumer prices have risen about 10 per cent since 1961, so the costs reported in Mrs. Mork’s study conceivably might range today from about $14,000 to nearly $30,000. In the Midwest, on the basis of 1961 prices, the average cost of rearing one child on what the department rates as a “lowcost” budget was $15,000. On a “moderate” budget, the cost was estimated at nearly $22,000. On a “liberal’ ’budget, the cost went up to nearly
$27,000.
For the South, the figures were about the same in families with moderate and liberal budgets. But southern farm families with a low-cost budget had a lower average cost than Midwesterners for raising children. It was about $13,300 in the South, compared with $15,000 in the north-central states.
The study clearly shows one fact that parents of older farm children already know, childrearing expenses are lowest in the early years and highest in
the later years.
In the north-central states, for example, the department estimated the average cost of caring for a 1-year-old child on a moderate budget at $1,008 a year. The cost of caring for a 17 year old, however, was estimated at $1,420 a year.
11 Are Killed In "Shootout" ACAPULCO UPI — Eleven persons died Monday in a “shootout” between police and rustlers in Mexico’s “lawless territory,” where the gun law of the Old West still prevails. The dead included Juan Cano Iniguez, head of the rustling gang; three of his men, five policemen and two small children hit by stray bullets in the gun duel. Six other persons were wounded and in serious condi-
tion.
Authorities said the shootout began when a police patrol surrounded the rustler in the village of Tunas, about 20 miles from Acapulco, and the bandits refused to surrender. The gunbattle lasted more than two hours. The dead children and six founded were villagers hit by accident in the crossfire from pistols, rifles and tommyguna.
fast that one day it’s just going to fall right into the Mediterranean.” Even more disturbing than the brief outburst of anger was the quiet determination with which Italians ignored the government in their efforts to help flood vicitms. A government fund drive brought in only a trickle of contributions. In contrast hundreds o f groups made their own collections and sent their own representatives to distribute the aid — “so at least we will know who gets it.” So widespread is contempt of civil authority that a suggestion openly has been made that the army, which played a heroic role in the flood relief, should now be placed in charge of a long-term reforestation and river harnessing program. Worte II Messaggero’s columnist Nino Longobardi in a typical comment: “The army’s discipline and the traditional honesty of our officers would be a formidable guarantee for the billions of lire involved.” Share Of Disasters In recent years Italy has had
more than its share of natural disasters as well as more than its share of political unrest brought on by a tug of war between right, left and center. In October, 1963, a massive landslide fell into the Vajont Reservoir, sending millions of tons of water over the lip of the giant concave dam and wiping out the town of Longarone and other communities. It took the lives of 2.117 Italians. The nation wanted to know if the disaster could have been averted. A government report blamed it on years of bureaucratic inefficiency. Six officials were suspended and the whole matter wrapped up neatly in red tape. In 1962 earthquakes rocked southern Italy, claiming few lives byt causing extensive damage. In 1966 a UPI correspondent who covered the quake drove through the same towns of Ariano, Irpion and other villages between Naples and the Adriatic coast. Pre-fabs put up as temporary emergency housing still stood and some buildings looked the same as they did the day after the earthquak*.
