Some partnership arguments seem funny to other bridge players. North felt that South had made a gross overbid when he jumped to four spades. North added that if Smith had made his proper rebid of three spades, he. North, would have gone to four spades anyway. At this point. West broke in and remarked, "It seems to me mat you are arguing about noth ing. You readied a good four spade contract. The cards had v to lie badly in order for you to be set and besides if my artner had not made a fine defensive play you would have made, the contract and all would be sweetness and light." East's defensive play is one of those that looks easy when you see all the cards. He won the opening heart lead and shifted to a low trump. Once that play was made South could not make his contract and ac tually managed to go down two tricks. South won the spade lead and tried to get a heart discard on dummy's diamonds. East ruffed the second diamond, cashed his ace of spades and two more hearts and chalked up 200 points on his side of the ledger. It not only looked easy, but it should have been easy. The nine of hearts opening indicat ed either a singleton or double ton. South was marked with the ace of clubs as part of his bid ding strength. He also was marked with good spades and it was up to East to kill dummy's ruffing power while still retaining control of the trump suit. O The bidding has been: North East Sooth West 1 Pass 1 4 Pass 1 A Pass 4 A Pass 4 N.T. Pass S Pass 5 N.T. Pass 1 You, South, hold: A J43 VA6S KQ74 82 What do you do now?

Harvesting 54,000 silvertip trees this season, the ranch is tho largest Christmas tree operation of its kind in the country. 54,000 Choice Christmas Trees Cut On Giant Bishop Ranch TENNANT Christmas comes early at the Ken - Del ranch, 5.000 acres of mountain ous ridges which make up the largest Christmas tree operation of its kind in the nation. Here preparations for Christ mas are concluded by a b o u t Dec. 10 when the last of 54,000 choice silvertip trees must be on the way to retail outlets in Cal ifornia. This year the last of the Christmas tree harvest lall done above the 6.000 foot level t was completed in about three feet of snow. Kenneth Bishop, who owns this unique ranch in partner ship with his son, Ronald Bishop, slates that snow depths up to three feet do not cancel tree cutting but that a snow laden tree is much harder to judge for business, symmetry, and color. Choice trees are the Bishops' business, and their Christmas tree cutting crews have reason to meet the specifications. Pay ment is on the basis of quality, not quantity, and the crew bosses learn their net gain only after trees have been graded in the sorting yards at ranch headquarters. Men and women on the Ken Del 6taff find a special chal lenge in the seven or e i g h t weeks of frantic activity that make up the cutting and ship ping season at the Ken - Del ranch. Most of them live in Siskiyou County or Southern Oregon and return year after year to participate in the var ious jobs that must be accom plished. Trees must be cut. hauled, graded, and cached according to shipping orders, then checked and loaded for ship ping. Invoices must be made monoGRRm HEATERS CHECK out, billings made, and ac counts kept up to date. Ve hicles must be kept running as supplies must Jbe delivered to coincide with the need for them. There are no shopping centers or supermarkets within miles and miles of this remote ranch. Some of the crew of 70 live in trailers, some commute from as far as Weed or Klam ath Falls, and some live at ranch headquarters where the breakfast bell rings at 5:30 a.m. and dinner is kept hot un til the last crews are off the mounutain. Days run 12 to 16 working hours during the peak of the season when cutting crews leave ranch headquarters in early morning darkness to take full advantage of short day light hours on the high ridges where the silvertips grow. While Christmas tree con tracts have shown a steady growth each year, the 'Bishops now find the d e m a n d for wreaths and door decorations has doubled each year for the past four year6. By the end of November, the Ken-Del ranch had shipped 6.000 framed wreaths and 6.000 wired door decorations, plus 20 tons of boughs to florists and decorators throughout Califor nia. The basic wreaths and door decorations are converted into holiday dress in city ware houseswith Ken-Del produced additions. Cones and glitters are also part of the Ken-Del operation. Sixty thousand cones were pro cessed in the cone shed. Gath ered on a commission basis by nearby residents during sum mer, the cones are cut in half, affixed with staples and wires.

The wreath operation at the ranch developed through t h e artistic bent of ,Flo Bishop, wife of Ken Bishop. She began experimenting with natural materials at the ranch and fashioned wreaths that caught the eyes of Christmas tree buy ers. Special orders for decorated wTeaths are filled directly at the ranch. The wreath require ments of large banks, oil com panies, and other commercial interests are filled as a per sonal accommodation, but Bish op says he is not able to han dle the detailed work required for producing the finished wreaths in massive quantities. Shipping of the basic materials is much easier. All of the Ken-Del trees leave the Tennant area by Southern Pacific truck lines. Bishop says shipping by truck reduces the number of times a tree rand handled and insures more rap- m unlivery to tne retail outlet. The Bishops have developed Christmas tree farming at the Ken-Del ranch by trial and er ror over the past 20 years. Jt is now a major industry in northern Siskiyou County and a real contribution to the area's economy. Lake County, Ohio, has more than 200 plant nurseries. Always iht '.

MARY DEAR POLLY-I have de vised a game for our four-year-old daughter that helps to teach her tlie alphabet. I wrote the alphabet and numbers on a piece of cardboard and on pa per, too. I cut out the paper numbers and letters so each is in its own square. She matches these paper squares to the same numbers or letters on the card board. As she matches I tell her their names. She has already learned to identify many of them.-MRS. K. C. G. DEAR POLLY Large iron nuts from tlie hardware etore make attractive candle holders.

Khrushchev of betraying communism and of seeking Soviet-American domi nation of the world. In a slashing indictment of the Kremlin, the official Red New China News Agency (NCNA quoted two major Pek ing newspapers as warning Khrushchev of courting disaster by seeking cooperation with "U.S. imperialism." The attack was Peking's ap parent reply to an appeal from Khrushchev for an end to po lemics in the bitter ideological dispute which has split the Communist camp. An article in the Peking Peo ple's Daily and the magazine Red Flag said: "The heart and soul of the general line of peaceful co existence pursued by the lead ers of the CPSU (Soviet Com munist party) is Sovicl-U.S. col laboration for the domination of the world." It said the Kremlin leaders' "ceaseless advocacy of peace ful co-existence. . .amounts to a painted gold, silver or any de sired color. Decorate after paint-ing.-SARA (ilKLS This would be a good klea for making extra holiday candle holders that might be decked with fireproof Christmas "Rlitler." I'OI.LY DEAR POLLY An idea my hu.hand thought up lias worked so successfully for five, years that 1 thought others might like to use it. Our storm windows had round holes across tlie bot tom of each wood frame but we always wished more provision had been made for ventilation. To remedy this, my husband cut a big oval across the bottom of each frame where the small round holes had been. He fur tlior improved the situation, by nailing screening, on the outside, over Uiis opening. Insects can not get in as they used to be fore we would get the storm windows down and tlie screens up in tlie spring. We can leave tliem up longer w ithout depriv ing ourselves of the outdoor air. -MRS. H. V. H. Share your favorite homomak ing ideas . . . send them to Pol ly in care of Herald and News.

But. Peking warned, "he who betrays the jieople of the so cialist camp and the world and dreams of dominating the glolie by collusion with U.S. imperial ism is bound to end up badly ." "It is very mistaken and dan gerous (or the leaders of the CPSU to do so," the article said.
