Peter Rabbit was in I fix. This was nothing new with Peter. All his life he has been getting in and out of fixes. That is partly because N 15 happy-go-lucky. Getting into n .iiX is usually his own fault. the result of heedlessness or careless- ness, or too much curiosity. Get- ling out of a fix is usually because he never loses faith that he'll find some -way out in the end and does.

Right now Peter was in one of the worst fixes he had ever been UL To begin with he had been run- niniz and dodging for his life. More

(New York Times Service) KARACHI. March 4--The Kar- achi slnd Observer. one of the smaller of the city's five English language newspapers. yesterday assailed the United States for sendlng two million rupees worth of "neckties" to Pakistan's rail- roads. The paper suggested that in view of the rising cost of wheat. it might have been better to send food. It appea . that the Observer had heard that the "ties" were being shipped here under an arrange- ment made by the World Bank to help Pakistan's railroads. They are of course wooden beams on which the track is laid. The Observer however'jurnped to the conclusion that necktie: were'belng sent for the uniformed staffs of the rail- roads and took advantage of that conclusion to rap America's knuckles.

Here as in England, railroad ties are known as "Sleepers."

Peter Have a long sigh of relief and felt safe. Then he heard somethinv. that upset that feeling of relief completely. He heard a rustling sound somewhere down below. This meant that there was some one down there. Who could it be? A moment later Peter found out. He nricked a paw on something and looked to see what: it was. It was a quill. one of the thousand little spears that Prickly Porky the Pot. cupine carries in his coat and on his tail. Peter knew then that he had got out of one fix only to get into another and worse fix. Yes, sir, Peter was in a worse fix than be- fore. Hooty the owl was sitting on the doorstep outside, and some- where down inside was Prickly Porky. and udginiz by the sounds he was making ready to come up.

"Oh. dear, what can I do?" thought Peter. "I-f Prickly Porky comes up here. he'll fill me full of those little spears of his. If to get away from these. I have to no out.

. the Owl will catch me." What could Peter do? Just keep still and hope.

It sometimes takes more couraoc to all: still and hope than it does to try to fight and run away. Peter sat still and hoped. He didn't see how that could possibly do him any good. but he did it just the same. Long ago he, learned you

PANICIY BIDDING

One of the most potent argu- ments for aggrenlve slam-bidding is that easily impressed opponent; may be panicked into costly sac- rificing. There lo I type of player who seems to feel. every time the enemy bids a slam. that the con- tract is "on ice." West in the fol- lowing deal was very obviously of that type!

It was only because South unfortun- ately had three cards in both majors, instead of three or more clubs. that six diamonds could not have been made.
