This view is a long way from the fact. He has a much better than 50 percent chance if he takes full advantage of his possibilities. He has a diamond suit to work on and establish, which. if all goes according to Hoyle, will eliminate the necessity for a successful club finesse.

So South wins the spade with the king. plays a diamond to the ace and ruffs a low diamond. He then plays the ace of hearts and a low one to tiie queen and no- tices both defenders follow. A low diamond is ruffed high.

Both opponents have followed to diamonds three times. so they must have been distributed 43. Everything is lttinky-dory. The K-10 of diamonds are both tricks.

South started with eleven topl tricks. He fooled around with dia- monds hoping they'd produce the twelfth. They did. I! diamonds

WASHINGTON (AP) - This isn't the first time problems have come to the land of Jordan.

Today there are strikes and po litical strife. another big batch of troubles for a country where his- tory got a head start.

As long ago as 6,000 BC. man was trying to use water from the river Jordan for irrigation. He still is.

Moses passed this way. leading the children of Israel toward the promised land. in Biblical history Gilead. Animon. Mnah and Edom roughly made up what now is Jor- dan. Ruth. Elijah and Elisha were natives.

In some spots the narrow .lor- dan Valley is 2.000 feet below the surrounding countryside. The Dead Sea is 1.286 feet below the Mediterranean.

Jordan means "dcscender" or "downcomer." appropriate for a river that drops so far. The Ro- mans called lt the Dead Sea be- cause neither plant !10i' animal can lite in its mineral-filled wat- ers. The Jews called it the Salt:

Howe Predicts Economy Will Reach Record Pace

EDMONTON (CPI-Trade Min- ister Howe predicted Wednesday the Canadian economy will Cxlillld this year at the fastest pace in history. '

"We are in the full swing of a great period of development.” he told the Edmonton Junior Cham- ber oi Commerce. ”I fully expect, just as everyone who has a know- ledge of what is going on expects. that Canada will expand dl-""18 1957 at a faster rate than ever before in history,"

His pl'EdI('lltln appeared at var- iance with that made by Finance Minister Harris in his March 14 budget. Ytli. IIal"l'ls forecast na- tional production would rise to I new high bill that the rate of climb would be less than half the 1956 peak. DIFFERENCE IN I-ilGliiiES

This gave hint two chances in- stead of one. An extra chance never hurt anybody.

The Royal Hssbemita house had little in common with another Arab group which has been in the news lately. Old King Abdullah of Jordan disliked old King lbn Saud

of Saudi Arabia. This lack of af- -

fection was royally returned.

The Arabs have a proverb: "l and my cousins against the world; I and my brothers against my cousins."

Consumer Credit Debt Is Mounting

OTTAWA (CF)-Canada": con- sumer credit debt rose to a record 32.469.000.000 at the end of 1956. the Bank of Canada reported to- day.

This is an increase of S69.000.000 in the last three months of 1956 and a boost of S2B7.000,000 in the year.

The debt is the amount of money consumers owe for the things they buy on time.

BED'I1ME STORIES

Co-operntlmi rules as meant Though often quite without intent. -Old Mother Nature.

If two or more persons work together for the same purpose they . ,. ate. They share the work of whatever they are doing and share the results. That is full co- operation. Perhaps your neighbor helps you do something from which he gets no gain himself save a pleasant sort of satisfaction from having done a good deed. That is cooperation also. Co-operation is the key to happiness in any family and any neighborhood.

Don't be sorry for Miner. He hasn't any use for good eyes. In the darkness under ground the best of eyes could see nothing. To be good eyes they would have to L. very much bigger than the teeny. weeny, almost useless ones he has. and bigger eyes would be a nuisance. They would be forver having dirt in them. or else he would have to keep them tightly closed all the time he was digging. and he is digging most of the time he isnt asleep.

Some little boys and girls are afraid of the dark. This is foolish because darkness itself never hurts anybody, and there are fewer dangers in the night than in the light of day. it is just the other way about with Miner the Mole. He is afraid of the light in- stead of the dark. And he is quite right in being afraid for in day- time there is much more danger for him than in darkness of night.

On this latter point. Mr. Howe said he would like to see two things happen: Canadians should diversify their investments more widely and be prepared to take greater risks. Foreign-owned com- panies should operate in Canada not as branch plants but as far as possible "like Canadian enter- prises."
