LIGHTEN THE HOME OWNING BURDEN
Week-endCommentlnBrief
Telling the
Editor
Local Resolutions
Wisely Adopted
rplIE Klamath Falls Realty board and
the Klamath County Chamber of
Commerce acted wisely in endorsing
the Hoover home financing program,
and ill forwarding these endorsements
to the congressional delegation.
Thia effort to help the American
family toward home ownership is a
step toward greater national welfare,
and congressional approval abould be
forthcoming. This program wisely in
clude, steps which will help prevent
the loss of homes by those already em
barked ob a home-ownership program
but who axe finding the financial bur
den too great in a time of economic
strew.
While we give approval to the na
tional movement to lessen the burdens
on would-be-home-owners, it is well to
remember that national program can
not accomplish this alone. There is
much that must be done locally, if home
ownership is to be made the easy and
practical thing for the local family to
aspire to. That is something to keep
in mind as we seek to reduce the in
creasing burden of taxation, which at
the moment is one of the deterring
thoughts in the mind of any man who
considers the matter of acquiring his
own home. '
If this program is to be the success
we hope for it, home ownership as well
as home acquisition must be made at
tractive, and there must be a recogni
tion of local responsibilities in connec
tion with the national effort
4 Fine Example
of Generosity
OUR attention has been called to the
laudable voluntary relief work be
ing accomplished by the people of
Klamath Agency. The Women's .club,'
the Federal Employes Union, Mr. C. A.
Goasett, Mr. Fred Moffat and Dr. Pat
terson, are among those who have taken
an interest in the effort.
The women's club has been meeting
each Wednesday to sew for the needy
of Klamath Falls, the articles being dis
tributed among relief agencies of this
city by Mrs. Patterson, the president of
the club.
At the last meeting of the Employes'
union it was decided to donate to a
Klamath Falls charitable institution the
total of one day's pay each month for
each employe for a period of three
months. This amounts to approximately
$200.
The Klamath Agency people have
given no publicity to this generosity, but
for the example it sets at a time when
we are embarking on the Christmas
cheer relief program, it deserves to be
made known.
Male Gallantry
It Waning?
AN indignant yonrtg woman called at
the editorial desk a day or two
ago to report aa incident which would
indicate that they are ritrht who say
male gallantry in on the wane.
It was on a morning of icy sidewalks.
A woman, walking on Maiu street,
slipped and fell, near where several
men were loitering on the sidewalk and
curb. There was no movement to help
her up, even though she obviously was
injured in the fall.
The woman finally aked if some one
would assist her, declaring she was
hurt Though she held up her arras,
several men passed by without giving
her a hand before one came with the
gallantry enough to help her to her feet
Even he moved away with that By
this time our young informant had ar
rived, assisted the woman into an office
building, and left her in care of the
elevator girl, who promised to take her
to the physicians' floor for treatment
of an apparent collar bone fracture.
It is to bo hoped that this was an
Isolated incident, and that the men who
stood by or parsed were not typical.
If such is not the case, things are com
ing to a pretty pass, indeed, among
those who boast the title of the strongr
sex.
This newspaper welcomes communi
cations such as have been received in
increasing numbers in recent weeks. It
desires to make this page an open
forum for the presentation of thoughts
oh matters of public interest. It asks,
however, that the writers of these let

This request is prompted by space lim

articles will receive wider reading.
Rambling Comment
THERE will be no relaxation of the
foreign effort to attract the Amer
ican traveler, it is stated by Thomas P.
Henry, president of the American Auto
mobile association, on his return from
an eight weeks motor trip in Europe and
North Africa.
That means that those seeking to sell
the recreational resources of America
must be prepared to meet this strong
competition. The aggressive program in
behalf of north Pacific coast recrea
tional attractions, so well carried on in
the past two years, must be continued,
if we are to make the most of the work
already accomplished.
Those who know Henry Brooks Van
Duzer, and those who know his works
for the welfare of Oregon, will heartily
endorse the action of the Portland
Realty board in conferring upon him
the title of Oregon's "first citizen" for
1931.
The canal skating project is further
evidence of the active mind of the city's
police chief.
At Eugene, they are using aluminum
to give the community Christmas tree
a silver coating. Jack Frost did the
work for rows of Christmas trees in
Klamath Falls Saturday morning.
Don't forget that Christmas seal's
make attractive "stickers for Christinas
packages, and have a most worthy purpose.
The folks down at Bieber are mak
ing preparations to re-build the busi
ness block destroyed by fire last week.
Modern and attractive buildings will
soon symbolize the fine spirit of that
community and its citizens.
Contract
Bridge
By 8PECEB 8. KAPP
It has been Mid, though it Is
tar from correct, that Culbert
aon players rarely play a hand
at No, Trump. As a matter of
fact, a pair of good Culbertson
players will end up at No Trump
en a large per cent of their
hands, bnt will do so only after
they hare Investigated and dis
covered that they hare no suit
which ia more advantageous.
However, the first time that a
No Trump la bid. either aa an
Original Bid or as a Takeout,
there la no expectation or de
sire that this should be the final
bid. It la made simply for the
information that it sires, to tell
partner definitely the number of
Honor Tricks held. It also makes
the statement that there ia no
Biddable Suit In the hand; and,
II it is a Takeout of partner's
auit bid. One No Trump gen
erally denies Normal Trump Sup
port for partner's an it.
Another very Important func
tion of No Trump when used as
a Takeout Is the matter of keep
ing the bidding open tor partner.
No Trump does this with the
smallest possible Increase in the
contract, thus tearing the way
clear for a new bid by partner
on the next round.
One thing to remember about
No Trump bidding In any situa
tion la that one abould always
make the largest possible bid at
the first opportunity. If your
partner opena with One Heart
and you reply with One No
Trump, you are aaylng positively
that you do not hare the Honor
Tricks necessary to go Two No
Trump. The Culbertson system is
.particularly adapted to the giv
ing of exact Information, and it
la Just aa bad an error to mis
lead ones partner with an un
derhld as H is to orerbld.
If the Original Bidder baa no
biddable suit, but has EU Honnr
Tricks and all four suits stopped.
ue oiaa "Three No Trunin."
He blda "Two No Trunin" with
4H Honor Tricks (five. If vul
nerable) and three suits stop
ped. Partner will raise this to
three" with 1 Honor Trick
plus": or will bid "Three In
A gulf with 1 Honor Trick and
6-card Biddable SulL If he
happens to here S Plarinc
Tricks and a 6-card Major, he
can go to "game"' in the Major;
or to "game" in a Minor with
Playing Tricks and 7 trumps.
In these lant cases, the number
at Honor Tricks Is immaterial.
To bid "One No Trump" orig
inally requires H to 1 Honor,
Tricks If 1st or 2nd hand; or
3 to I "plus" Honor Tricks If
3rd hand; or 3 "plus" to H4
Honor Tricks if 4 th band. The
higher ralues are used when
vulnerable.
After this "One No Trump,"
the partners first choice aa a
response is to make a Forcing
Takeout of "Three In A Bull,"
the requirement being at least
3 Honor Tricks and a Biddable
Suit: or, t Honor Tricks and
a Twice Re-Biddable Suit. The
next beat thing is to go direct
to "game" In a auit, with t
Trump Tricks In a Major or 7
Trump Tricks In a Minor, with
no particular requirement aa to
Honor Tricks. Neit choice is to
bid "Three No Trump" when
holding 1 Honor Tricks and no
biddable auit. Or, the partner of
the original No Trumper can bid
"Two In A Snlt" with t V, Honor
Tricks and a biddable 6-card auit
or 1 Honor Trick and any t
card auit. Lacking any of the
abore, he says "Two No Trump"
If he has 1 "plus" Honor Tricks.
The Original Bidder would raise
thia last bid to "three" if he
has H Honor Trick more than
shown by bis original bid.
When used aa a Takeout of
an original "One In A Suit,"
"One No Trump" sbows 1
Honor Tricks distributed In two
suits, or 1 Honor Tricks in the
same auit. With Honor Tricks
plus," and two other suite
stopped, the takeout la "Two No
Trump;" and with I Honor
Tricks It la "Three No Trump,
Such a Takeout generally Indi
cates lack of Normal Trump Support-
for partner's auit, although,
with either 4:1:3:1 or 4:4:1:1
distributions, It la better aay Two
No Trump than to give a aiugle
raise to partner, and It la much
better to say Three No Trump
than to raise partner to lesa than
game. Such No Trump Takeonta
also show the lack of a Biddable
suit in most cases.
When It la a reolr to an one.

ding open and denies ability to
maae a oetter Did. In fact, after
any --lorce. a reply of a mini
mum nnmber of No Trump is
made only for the purpose of
Keeping tne bidding open and to
deny any strength which has not
been previously shown. However,
do not do this after a Takeout
Double by partner, as a No
Trump In this position Indicates
at least 1 Honor Trick and the
opponents auit stopped; and,
wun a worthless hand, one
should bid their longest suit.
The most frequent situation In
which No Trump becomes the
final declaration la where each
partner haa a suit, not Re-Biddable,
that ia not supported by
the other. If either of them holds
an additional Vi Honor Trick
(1. e. abore the 1 Mi or IK they
hare already shown) they will
indicate It by a Takeout of a
minimum No Trnmp, after which
the other partner will go to

payroll and make of Main street
commercial artery, . which
would raise the rent on Main
street, give fire and police pro
tection to all the tax payers and
add to our tax aaseasment rolls

Twenty-fonr hundred dollars was
paid for the present lot and the
station could have been placed
on a section of Wall street

could have been utilised for a
