Officials Will
Pay First Visit
To High School
James Burgess of the state of
fice of public Instruction a&d Mrs.
Mary L. Fulkerson. county school
superintendent, will make the
first visitation to county high
schools today, planning to visit
at St. Paul and Hubbard. Last
year they made two visits to all
high schools in the county, mak
ing .recommendations in several
places relative to standardization.
.' TJie visits beginning today will
be in the nature of a check-up on
manner In which the Hchools
handled the suggestions made last
year. The smaller school, and
ot all of them, are those where
standards must be raised.
Thirty Airplanes
Are Licensed in
State This Year
Thirty airplanes have been li
censed in Oregon since January
1, as against 63 In 1929 and 40
In 1930, accordinng to a report
prepared Monday by Hal E. Hoss,
secretary of state.
. This decrease in aircraft regis
trations was duo to a proportion
ate increase in registrations un
der the department of commerce.
Planes used in interstate com
merce are required to obtain fed
eral licenses.
TODAY is the big wet election
la Salem. In fact the Salem
. papers have been so water
soak si the past few days that dry
news was relegated back to the
kilns. Guess newshounds will have
to go back to wotS again now,
since the Issue on which voters
will pass today will be history,
and papers must go on just the
same.
The campaign for something
or other about water, and the
campaign against something or
other figuring into the millions
of dollars, baa perhaps been one
of the bitterest waged around
these parts for some time. 8a- .
lem voters are getting good
practice for the elections next
May and then again next No
vember. Keep your registrations
up.
Regardless of how the election
goes, It's a safe bet years from
now Salem will still be drinking
water, that Is most of the resi
dents, while the others will still
continue lo seek something else to
drink. No matter where the water
comes from or bow It Is treated,
there will always be a wet and
dry campaign. So let yonr eon
science be your guide.
Speaking of beta, it is begin
ning to look like betting head
quarters are still in Xew York,
where now the Lenx-Calberteon
battle is raging. After reading
how all those great hands were
played, and how they should
have been handled to make ev
en better scores, luck for the
writer continued on ita usual
keel, down the minus column.
Captain Harry Niles in the role
of hero. While in southern Oregon
last week, the state police depart
ment has been informed, Niles
with several other members of the
state police, rescued a couple and
their baby, who wee marooned
in the snow covered mountains
without gas, food or money. They
brought them into safety through
a blinding blizzard. Nice work,
Harry.
A lot has been heard through
the century of the leadership of
Moses, but not until the past
few days, in reading reports of
senate squabbles, was it learned
that Moses ever had such a hard
fight to get into leadership
class. But leave it to Moses to
stick it out, and up to date, he
was still holding out for top po
sition in the senate.
Now that the big state house
stag party is over, and everystate
official present reported having a
good time, this column will have
to turn to new fields for promo
tion squibs and for material.
Suggestions are in order. Of
course there still remains the
Christmas programs, and also the
press is ever appreciative of any
kind ot gift.
The state tax commission re
leased lot of figure, several
sheets and a whole book of 'em
for publication yesterday con
eernlng valuations and tax lev
ies. After a preliminary clasa
in taxation, the press boys
wrote atorlen on the figures, but
no one will ever .know whether
they are accurate or not. That's
one thing about a tax story, it
will be hard for a reader to
check yon np.
And Christmas Is Just around
the corner, and lots more certain
of showing up than the evading
figure ot prosperity. Christmas In
fact keeps sneaking np on the
unsuspecting, and finds htm
wanting wanting suggestions for
gifts and something to buy them
with. Wonder who thought of in
jecting that prase. "It la more
blessed to give than to receive."

bid only 1-Ne Trump,
although his 14-polnt count plus
Us holding all four aces fully justi
fied bidding No Trumps. Of
course T over-called with -Diamonds,
whereupon Z jumped to S
1 No Trumps, holding the contract.
A's opening lead of his fourth
best duo was won in dummy, and
Ys top diamond was led, and held
the trick. A refused to win the
trick because he was afraid that Z
held another small diamond, so
that winning the trick would give
the declarer five diamond tricks
later on. When B failed to cover
dummy's Q with ti e missing; K, of
course Z should liave clayed his
A, then led back his lew diamond,
tad kept that suit going until the
holder of the K had to play ft.
Then with the king of clubs aa a
re-entry to dummy the declarer
would have won as a minimum one
spade, one heart, three club, and
five diamond tricks, scoring four
odd and 150 points added for four
aces in one hand.
Failing to obtain a cover for
dummy's queen Z carelessly let Y
hold the trick, effectually block
ing the run of diamonds. All he
could do was to lead a small card
from Dummy, play his ace, enter
dummy with Y's rood club and
clear diamonds by again leading
that suit with A at the bat. That
player declined to aid Z by open
ing another suit; A led a club and
put & in.
Glaring at dummy, Z saw that
he might gain entry there in ease
both opponents would fall for a
very ancient trick. He led his 2
of spades, which A was obliged to
win. The latter gathered In his
two good clubs, forcing Z to let
go one heart then A shot back his
last spade. Hoping that B would
try to win the trick, Z played low
from dummy, but so did B, forcing
Z to win the trick in his own hand.
Z had left only the ace of spades
and the A-J of hearts. He took his
two good aces, then yielded to his
adversaries the last trick. Going
down one trick, Instead of winning
one trick ever his game contract
was a hard lesson m learning not
to block the free run of dummy's
good suits. .
