in an iifformargossip about lit- erature, the late John Buchan mce said that he thought an hora sf two or three generations ago ‘lad I cleaner palate and iobuster zhilosophy than their critics of xoday. They were in‘erestec| in iumanity, in the human soul itself

rather than in its perversities and;

vagaries. They were not clever pen pie. “The trouble about cleverness" he said, “is that it is so rarely greatness.” Considerable shrewd ibservation has gone into we re- nark. Our generation is for the most part a geiiera'ion of, c'ever acople. not of great ones.

The clever man falls in 0 one or the other of two causes. Eithe he is a totally selfish p rson who pur- ~ues largely his own ends. or he is

an inhumanly setfiess person sac-l

rificlng nis own soul. his very hu- msnity to one or ano:hcr or the physical or humane sciences. Beth at these stand in glaring con rast with the tru-y great man who is duly selfish in the senze that he will suffer nothing to destroy his awn personality and only sel‘less n the sense that his first objec- 'ii'e is to love 30d and his second o love his neighbor as him elf. The first sort of clever man is 'il0i'e interested in himself than in anything else.

for him in terms of social order or social Justice. They me only so many occasions of personal ag- grandizement. The highest s,ceo..,. iplishment of such a man is an adroitness of speech and manner lenabllng him to shift from one ,position to another at a momen'.'s notice. He is for uod or against |God, a red or ‘an anti-red, a fascist ‘or a democrat according as the wind blows. But he is also a man who knows the power of" ridicule. ,He can iauzh out of countenance what appears for the moment to be interfering with his plans. He can ;do this without fear of reprisal be- cause standing for nolhing him- 1 self, he is insensitive to attacks by others. He is only really com. fortabie. however when the [Uri-rs and institutions which chaliengr lhis complacency are under heavy fire.

Church is Target

Tins man is a very pariicular foe of the Church. its very stabil- ity is a threat to his own shifting sort of security when he finds, for example. that the Holy Father is not represented at a certain con- ference, he jeers at him and calls him the do-nothing occupant of an ivory tower. But, when. on the contrary, the Holy Father is re- presented at some conference or has issued directives which make it easier for Chriatians to we in for unity. the clever man finds immed- iately that the Pope is mixing re- ligion with poliics, or that he has designs upon someone’: liberty. Again, when the bishops of Quebec appear to take sides in an indus- trial dispute, or have definite views as to where eal Justice lies in is debatable issue, the clever man conjures up words and lnvenzs innuendoes designed either to de- feat any chance of justice being done or to prevent credit from falling where it is clearly clue. In such cases his cleverness proves mainly to be skill in the assigning of ulterior motives.

As often as not. Journalists are the readiest victims of such de- vices. A certain group of periodi-

gue of Garden Seeds. ‘ARTHUR VESEY, York, 1’. E. Island .

eals, claiming to be a kind of avant garde. seem almost to be the of- l ficial spokesmen of such clever 'deceivers, The others simply string along and present under the guise of news what are only the sly con- Iiectures or unprincloled wits Joc- kcylng for possition.

Talent Betrayed

'l‘he unfortunate part in all this is that such cleverness is usually a betrayal of youthful promise and talent. One is reminded here of the angry words of a father tohis twenty-six year old son in a mod- ern play by Henry de Monther- land: "My son, at thirteen years of age you had a grace. a nobility. a ,polish. an intelligence which you huve never displayed since. was like the last resplendent ray of the setting sun. But in the case of the sun. we know ':hat in a few short hours it will shine once more. But childhood genius, once extinguish- ed, is gone forever. We often say that the butterfly comes from a mere worm. In man's case. the but- terfly actually becomes a worm." The other type of clever man, tho selfless one. is dangerous in a quite different way He blindly exercises his talent, whatever is nature, without regard for moral consequences. He makes A—bonibs or birth-prcventlvea. writes bad books or devises godless teaching methods in a skiliul. self-s:icrific- ing way. He is a more lovab‘e type of clever man, but equally dan- gerous. Today we need fewer clever men. in either of the above senses. and more genuinely great men, The great man has a.’l the natural talent of the clever man. but devel- ops it differently. in the great man, self never comes first. God does. The great man is always vulnerable. is always something. if for nor other rea on than that he hﬁ principles and stands for something. The great man's life is lived on many levels —-physical,’ rational. politlca.l— but with perfect interior harmony be- cause all its sights are kept in just focus by the lens of spiritual vision lie is a good man and a hopeful man. But his hope is based. not upon his adroitness in adju ting the world. come what may. to his own advantage or to the advan- tage of the science he -nerves. It rests rather on his adroitness in adjusting himself and the science he serves to the advantage of God

Canasta

For Beglnn - — ll . We have teen watching the play of a hand, and we are now up to the second play by North. The card at the top of tho discard pie is a seven, and North holds:

A—A X Q-Q J-9-8 '1-7 2 North is able to take the dis- card pile because he can legally mold the top discard (a seven). He is not obliged to take the pile, but he is more than willing to do so. He doe; not begin by grabbing the seven, Before he can touch a single discard he must prove that

‘he has a right to the pile. He must

put a legal meld on the table. and the discarded seven must fit that meld.

North's first step,’ therefore. is to put down his pair of sevens. To take the discard pile for the first meld you must have a. pair of natural cards that match the top discard.

In addition, North must put down enough of a meld to meet the minimum count requirement of 50 points. since the three sevens count 15 points (North is entitled to count the top card of the dis- card pile as part of the meld). North must produce at least 35 points more.

North has a choice at this point He may put down ace-ace-deuce or queen-queen-deuce. The former count 80 points; the latter, to points. Either would be more than sufficient.

North has no real problem in making his mind up. He puts down the queens and the deuce for rea- sons that will be discussed in the section for experienced players. Having put down queen-queem deuce and seven-seven, North waits

‘ said that about ‘two-thirds of awe-

a second to let the other players see that he has made a legal meld. Then he takes the seven from the discard pile to add it to the meld. and puts the rat at the discard pile into his hand. If he chooses. he may now meld some of the cards he has just picked up.

Save these simple installments. If you're a beginner, you'll soon be able‘ to profit from the tips given in the second part of each article. If you're an experienced player. save the first, half to teach the game to others.

For Experienced Players — it

In the first part of the article we note that North takes the dia- card pile .to make his initial meld. He must meld six cards to rnslse the minimum count of 50 points, but this does not bother him be- cause he acquires a diacard pile of six cards to replenish his hand. one other point about the meld is worthy of note. North must choose between melding ace-sce- deuce and queen-queen-deuce. l-lo chooses to meld the queens even though they count 20 points leaa. why does he maid in this way‘! The reason is that North re- members what has been discarded. He can see only the top discard, a seven. but he knows that the pile includes two other sevens. a black three, and -- most lrnprtant of all --two qucenri.

In other words. if North puts down queen--queen-deuce he can count on adding two queens when- ever he wants to do so. If he puts down ace-ace-deuce he may never get another ace.

Good canasta players avoid wasting wild cards. They try to use them in melds that have a good chance to become eanastas. and they avoid using them in minor melds that may not turn out well.
