Some of the state banks which closed during the banking holiday last March were reopened on a restricted basis and still remain in that condition. They are not going concerns and depositors with money in them are in no better shape than it they were closed. Their problem is how to meet the requirements for entrance into the deposit insurance corporation which will begin business in January and which will put most banks not affiliated with it out of the picture, since it is expected that most depositors will prefer the insured banks.

Before the board of administration here, McClelland admitted the charge and so did Sullivan. Both offered explanation, WHEN A, FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND Tt was that McClelland was at Napoleon on business and started home. It was in the spring and the going was tough. After traveling only a little way his car went haywire. Along came Sullivan in his car, pulled it all the way to Steele, a matter of some 60 or 70 miles. McClelland left his ear at Stecle and rode home with Sullivan, sent a man to Steele laier for his own machine. ‘When they got to Mandan he offered to have Sullivan's car washed at the training school. Before the board of administration, Sullivan said the training schoo) man also fixed a gadget on the car and Suxivan gave him 50 cents. But the thing wouldn’t work and when he got his car to a public garage it had to be fixed again, where it cost him 35 cents. "Those were the crimes of which McClelland is accused. AS a result of their exposition and explanation, W. J. Godwin, Morton county's would-be political boss, finds that he is getting the horse laugh in many quarters. He doesn’t like it. The pressure to fire McClelland is easing off. WHERE IS MY WANDERING JOB TONIGHT? «Herman Butts, ex-member of the legislature from Mountrail county, is wondering what became of a job promised to him by the governor. ‘When Langer was campaigning for the sales tax he met Herman in Plaza, slapped him on the back and inquired about his health. Herman told him a sad story of crop failure and hard luck. *| “How would you like a job?” asked Langer. “It would be fine,” Herman replied. “Well, you’ve got one with the game and fish department and your pay starts right now,” the governor told him, ‘That was over two months ago, but Herman has heard nothing from the governor or the game and fish department, He's wondering if it was took McClelland’s machine in tow and | showed his five-card suit by a bid of | CONTRACT per IDGE EXPERTS PLAY IT ee on the part of Waltman was a definite slam try.

His partner, South, was the dealer and opened the contracting with one heart. i} Waltman, using the one-over-one, did not have to jump the contract, as one spade was a force. Since all South had was his original bid, he simply Rubber bridge—N_ and 8. Vul ‘Opening lead—w 3 West Pass Pass Pass Pass Kast Pass Pass Pass Pass South outstanding trump. Now, of course, if the heart suit broke Waltman knew he would have no trouble in making his contract. But after playng the king of hearts, and West discarded a diamond, he saw that this line of play would not suc- ceed. However, he, discarded a club from his own hand’ and led the queen of hearts from dummy, on which he dis- carded another club. The deuce of hearts then was ruffed, and here is where an exceptionally fine play comes in. Waltman cashed his ace of clubs, setting up a good club and a good heart for Mis opponents., He then took three rounds of spades, which brought him down to the following cards—one spade, no hearts, the five of diamonds, and the nine of clubs. ‘The dummy had the nine of hearts and the“ace and jack of diamonds. East was down to the jack of-hearts and the king and ten of diamonds, while West was down to the queen and nine of diamonds and. the’ king of clubs. The last spade was led and first East was squeezed—if he discarded the jack of hearts,’dummy’s nine would be good, so he had to let go)” the ten of diamonds. Waltman dis- carded the nine of hearts from dummy and then West was squeezed. If he let go the king of clubs, declarer’s nine was good, while if he let go @ diamond, of course dummy’s ace and jack were both good, and the grand slam was made. SCHOOL EDITORS MEET Grand Forks, N.
