For a fine illustration of the importance of the opening lead —the Achilles heel of all bridge players — examine this hand from a duplicate tournament. Rightly or not, the slam was reached at most tables. What happened thereafter depended largely on West's choice of leads. By far the most popular open* ing lead was the nine of diamonds. This old standby — the top card of a sequence—failed on the present occasion. South won with the ace and led the ace and another heart He was then able to ruff & heart in

dummy and discard a club on the king of diamonds to make

12 tricks.

At some tables the opening lead was a heart. These Wests were even more unfortunate. Declarer won, cashed the ace of diamonds and his other high heart, and ruffed a heart in dummy. He then discarded a club on the king of diamonds to make all 13 tricks. A few Wests elected to open a low club, and this lead turned into a bonanza for the defense. Declarer \tfon the queen with the ace, eyed dummy’s king of diamonds longingly, but had to go down regardless of what he did next. These declarers eventually lost a club and a heart to wind up with only 11 tricks. The saddest result of all, from declarer’s viewpoint, occurred

UPI Education Specialist It is not too early to consider plans for the approaching summer vacation. Should you send your child to camp? If so, is it better to choose a day camp or a sleep away

(residence) camp?

The decision will be influenced by many circumstances. The neighborhood facilities may or may not be suitable for summer activities. Some areas seem to become deserted during the summer months. This is an important factor affecting a child’s welfare, but there are also other considerations. Families should spend time together relaxing and enjoying themselves. Part of the child’s and parent’s vacations might be

arranged to coincide. In some cases, where both parents must work during the summer, camp may serve an important pur-

pose.

Needs Vary Naturally, individual needs vary. Many will profit from some kind of camp experience. The pre-school child is probably not ready for a sleep away camp. He still needs the security of being near his parents. He may not be ready for group care where he will not get the individual attention he can obtain from parents. Perhaps a day camp is advantageous for such a child. Parents must carefully investigate camps in regard to facilities, counsellors, and program. The type of activities

at those tables where West de-

cided to lead his singleton cal

trump. Here declarer could neither score his king of diamonds nor ruff a heart in dummy. These declarers generally wound up with only 10 tricks, losing two hearts and a club, though some of them managed to save a trick by means of an endplay. The upshot was that the various declarers wound up with either 10, 11, 12 or 13 tricks— in each case depending upon the inspiration, or perhaps the lack of it, behind West’s opening

lead.

PUBLIC SERVICE INDIANA

By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - With television intensifying its Vietnam coverage—and being more outspoken about the war— the networks are also beefing up their reporting of the leading domestic problem: The urban crisis. NBC-TV, for instance, announced Tuesday that staring in the fall, it will begin broadcasting a long-term examination of the urban crisis with four special programs each season. The programs will be fully sponsored by the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., which apparently means that its regular series of musical documentaries is coming to an end. However, AT&T, which made an excellent quality impact with the “Telephone Hour” documentaries, says it also will offer at least three specials in the entertainment field next season in addition to the broadcasts about cities. It should be noted here that the “Telephone Hour” programs have made a major contribution to viewers by being shown without interruption by commercials, a practice that has been taken up now by many other quality shows. In addition to NBC-TV’s forthcoming urban crisis series, CBS-TV recently announced that it will present three special onehour broadcasts entitled “The Cities” on June 18, 24 and 25, exploring the same subject. CBS-TV says its programs will deal with “The Deacy of Our Cities, the steps that are now being taken to cure urban ills, and the cities of the future.” Consultants for NBC-TV’s programs will be John W. Gardner, former secretary of health, education and welfare,

Rural Electrics are operated 100% by the families and businesses who receive their electric service. Each year these member-consumers hold a meeting and vote to elect directors from among themselves. When he is elected, each director assumes these responsibilities.

HERE ARE THE DUTIES OF THE DIRECTORS OF RURAL ELECTRICS

1. Service to the membership. 2. To attend all board meetings. 3. Help develop, adopt, and keep informed on over-all policies. 4. Review all financial operations. 5. Hire the manager . . . assign his duties . . . and see that he carries out organization objectives.

Member-owners maintain control of their rural electrics through the directors whom they elect.

and Daniel P. Moynihan, director of the MIT-Harvard Joint Center for Urban Studies. An NBC-TV statement says the series “will deal with what we have to do if our cities are to survive and thrive... “We are not interested in simply cataloguing failure. An important part of our effort will be examination of possible solutions.” Adds AT&T; “We think we should allocate the major share of our broadcast budget to the most pressing problems now facing society and our business — the problems of our big cities.”

should beconsidered in light of

the child’s interests.

As a child grows older, he is more likely to be ready for a sleep away camp. Not all children benefit from camping. Much depends upon their

abilities and interests.

There are many different kinds of camps. Don’t make a hasty decision. The price range is a personal matter, but you will find many choices. You will hear of camps from friends and neighbors. Others can be located through advertisements, camp information centers, and

camping associations.

You will find some general camps and others which emphasize sports, music, science, trips, etc. There are specialty camps for children with physi-

mental handicaps. The

choice should be guided by your child’s desires. In any case, you will want to make sure that the camp has good facilities, meals

and staff.

Necessary Facilities The camp should have athletic fields, hiking areas, lake, and sufficient indoor space for evening and rainy day activities. There should be approximately one athletic facility for

each twenty children. This should include a minimum of two baseball fields, a basketball court, a rifle range, waterfront including boats, etc., tennis courts, volley ball courts, and a flat campus for various other activities. The staff should consist of one counsellor for each five children. Perhaps in younger groups there should be one counsellor for three children. In addition, specialists should include an American Red Cross water safety instructor, arts and crafts, riflery, tennis, dramatics, music and others depending upon the emphasis you and your child desire. Another overlooked but important requirement is to make sure that the camp will have approximately eighteen to twenty children in your child’s age group. Teenage girls want social activities. Make sure that there is an equivalent age group of boys. Camping is a rewarding experience for many children. The family situation, child’s interests and abilities, and careful choice are the keys to help you make a proper decision.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) — Indiana school officials today attended a seminar called by State School Supt. Richard D. Wells to discuss school construction costs. Wells was scheduled to open the session, moderated by his assistant, Leland D. Melvin. Dies in Vietnam WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Defense Department Tuesday listed two more Indiana servicemen who have died in Vietnam. Army Pfc. Gary A. Clifford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert B.

Lighter Side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) — Almost overnight, it seems, the political atmosphere in this country has become fraught with melodrama. Fraughting the atmosphere with melodrama is, of course, a favorite pastime of politicians, but this year they are outdoing themselves. Unforeseen circumstances have suddenly become visible. Strange tales are told of men on the mountaintops, lighting signal fires and dancing in the moonlight. Messages are thrown over fences. And the people cannot yet be certain whether the sounds they hear are voices crying in the wilderness or merely the wind whistling through the credibility gap. In such a situation, I automatically turn to that old master of the melodrama, William Shakespeare. With his help, perhaps we can reconstruct what happened when Sen. Kennedy met Sen. McCarthy after the New Hampshire primary. Kennedy: “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear. We’ll pluck a crow together.” McCarthy: "I do not perceive here a divided duty.” Kennedy: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Delays have dangerous ends. We must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.” McCarthy: “You may as well say that’s a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.” Kennedy: “Out of my lean and low ability I’ll lend you something.” McCarthy: “A plague on such backing! In the gross and scope of my opinion, this bodes some strange eruption to our state.” Kennedy: “We cannot all be masters.” McCarthy: “Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe: Honour pricks me on. I am tied to the stake, and I must stand the course. Let the world slide. I’ll not budge an inch.” Kennedy: “Mend your speech a little, lest you may mar your fortunes. We know what we are, but know not what we may be. The hardest knife ill-used doth lose his edge.” McCarthy: “Though I am not splenetive and rash, yet I have in me something dangerous. I’ll rant as well as thou.” Kennedy: “You pay a great deal too dear for what’s given freely.” McCarthy: “But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, ITl cavil on the ninth part of a hair.”

America needs help.

Other speakers included: Robert Leech, State Board of Health, and Raymond Trobaugh, Division of Schoolhouse Planning, on site selection and purchasing. Bert Westover, director of the Indiana Administrative Building Council; Louis Penniston, Indianapolis architect, and Melvin, on planning a school building. Robert Calloway, Lafayette, equipment company president, on temporary classrooms. Dr. William Wilkerson, Indi. ana State University, and Richard Morrison, director of the Division of Schoolhouse Planning, on financing methods for school construction. Robert McCord, Indianapolis attorney; Eldon Teton, Hammond Public Schools, and Morrison, on ways of saving money while the building is in progress. Report on Giving NEW YORK (UPI)—Contributions to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Increased 153 per cent during the last five years. Collections last year neared 12 million, the National Information Bureau reports. It was the biggest increase in contributions to any one of the major voluntary agencies on which the bureau reports.
