T-7 OAKLAND TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1934 CULBERTSONon CONTRACT By Ely Culbertson WORLDS -CHAMPION PLAYER, ul GREATEST BRIDGI ANALYST Plavoround Activities STAMP COLLECTOR the opportunity for a brilliant play Kui -By Jane E. GRAY Gkey WILSON SPORTS LEADERS AT aeBatfJeali mm 11 1ft fl Ji jaefiaW WV 1 I Jl i' r' 'a i r-r BY HARRY MICHAEL L. EIDITESS former superintendent of the division of stamp! of the post Office department, under whose guidance the Philatelic Agency was developed, gave an address before the Washington Philatelic Society at a recent meeting. From his connection with the Philatelic Agency Mr. Eidness has had an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with stamp collectors and stamp collecting.

The entire was so interesting that readers who can secure a copy of the- Washington Star, in which it was reported, or one of the philatelic magazines which copied it, should endeavor to read the complete story. I can give but a small portion of it here choosing only the important highlights. "No one has a higher regard than I for the brave men who in time of war offer their lives and fortunes to the flag, but I often wonder if we should not also remember with gratitude the men who fight the incessant battles of the United States mall, and. carry on in the eternal war whose symbol is a postage stamp, and whose victories the increased welfare, peace and happiness of American citizens and of their friends, wherever they may be. IMPORTANCE OF MAILS "I do not think it would be too much to say that the postal system Is the amalgam, cement, which binds American society together and furnishes the foundation for American culture in all its many fields of enterprise.

To measure its value accurately one has but to Imagine what would be likely tp happen if the mails ceased moving. Industry would pe prostrated, education would halt, family relations would be broken, stagnation would settle over the land like a dismal cloud. Nothing could take the place of the postal service. It is the most important, the most truly vital business ever developed or maintained on the face of this good green earth. "And it is my consciousness of the surpassing worth and utility of the post office that prompts my interest in stamp collecting.

I think of philatelists as being students not merely of assorted colored scraps of paper, however attractively designed and printed, but as students of civilization. I know from abundant experience how far-reaching, how wide and varied the stamp collector's realm of inquiry Is. I know that no one can collect stamps intelligently and remain ignorant of history, geography and civics. "Iknow that no one can embrace of the fascinatittg features II about bridge is that like so many other endeavors in life it Is marked by the opportunities lost rathe? ttian by those of which full advantage has been taken. Heavy losses occur on many hands because the theories upon which the-bids are based are not in ac cord with sound bidding principles but are what may rightly be termed individual divergence from sound bidding.

In the hand below the mediocre bidding of the North and South bidders cost them almost 4500 points. North and South could have won a rubber on the hand, with a grand slam bonus as well, instead of going down 900 points and later losing the rubber bonus to add to their discomfiture. The hand was: South, dealer.

South West 1 Pass 2NT(2) Pass 6(4) Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass North East Pass Pass Dbl.

Dbl. 20(D 70(5) 74(6) Pass 1 A rather dangerous bid. North has, of course, a very strong hand but he is void of his partner's suit. Why diamonds should be preferred to spades as a takeout will remain an unsolved mystery. 2 An extremely bad bid.

South should rebid his clubs or show the heart suit in preference to denying any rebid values by responding with two notrump. 3 The third link in the comedy of errors. North, however, has fixed himself by electing to show diamonds first. 4 The effort to avoid the ex change of definite information by the partner has thus far proved successful. 5 Perhaps North can find justi fication for this bid in the ex change of misinformation which has preceded it.

Certainly there is no other basis for It. 6 At best a choice of evils, but the bidding has been so terrible that no words remain to charac terize it. It is obvious that this hand will easily produce seven hearts, but that suit was never bid by either partner. Exactly why the North and South players did not show the fit In the one suit that would pro duce the grand slam is and will re main forever a mystery. a Unlike the players of the above hand, Otto J.

At one table the North-South players arrived at a four-spade bid and made six.

At the other table, where Axtmanlield the East hand, the North-South players had six spades and made only four. South had been the dealer and had bid diamonds at one stage of the auction. Axtman, with his four triumphs to the ace, saw that desperate measures were necessary to secure an additional trick against a slam bid and opened with the nine of diamonds. North, after some hesitation, played the ace. He was afraid that the diamond lead might be a singleton and he thought that the diamond finesse would lose in any case, as he was not prep; ed for East's tricky lead There was, however, a possibility that North could throw off his losing diamond on Dummy's heart suit.

Unfortunately he nad to try for this discard before playing trumps, because no doubt another diamond would have been played after the first spade had been takeii with the ace. So a smart heart Wets played from the dummy, and taken with the ace, and a heart return was taken with the king. Then the queen of hearts was played, but it was trumped by West. East's unorthodox lead explains the difference of two tricks between the scores on this hand made at the two tables. (Copyright, 1934.

The public will be welcome and is urged to attend.

The coming to Oakland of Rev. D. Hill to First A. M. E.

Church has meant much to the Young People of the San Francisco Bay district. Last Sunday evening as usual the evening service, was given to the young, people at which time they came with their pastors from San Francisco and. other neighboring cities. The attraction on this occasion was the "Consecration of Sir Galabod." One of our popular musicians in writing about the affair said: "Amid the soft glow of candlelight the Consecrtion of Sir Galabod was given Sunday, February 4, at First A. M.

E. Church. The principle characters were the boy who had the vision, Herbert Roan; Sir Galabod, Billie Dixon; Theo the Spirit of Motherhood; Margret Hill, Angel of the Grail; Eloise Farrow, Spirit of Truth; knights, Prince Lawson and Elmer Romine; pages, Junior Hughes and Taylor Farroir; reader and organist, Rev.

Lincoln Seeks Complete with umpires on skate and hockey sticks, roller skate hnekev was inaugurated on, the Lincoln Park playground last Saturday before a big crowd of thrilled and excited sideliners.

Hideo Najima's All-Stars won a hot contest, to 1, from Louli Rosenthal's Madison Street aggregation. The winners Jumped into a 3 to 0 lead at the' atari or me game but thereafter, as the defense of both teams tightened up, the subsequent scoring came after long intervals of hard play aunng wie two 15-minute periods. Planning to stage a comeback, the Madison Street Club is practicing nightly for the return, match which is scheduled for Saturday and "these are the players expected to be in each lineup. All-Stars: Hideo Najima, Frank Vamane, Willie Hayakawa, Bunlche Momono, George Fujikawa, John and Fred Toguche, Hide Dakaiako, Akira Hata, Elmer MacGowan and Yoshikozu Takahasi.

Maxwell, Frick Teams Deadlock The Maxwell Park basketball team shared even honors with highly-touted seventh trade alumni, now at Frick Junior High, in a two-game series, emerging with ah 11 to 8 victory in the first' tilt but losing the second to the grads. The Frick team was the challenger and the Park cagers lost no time in accepting the opportunity of their former school mates and the outcome, they tell, was exactly as predicted. The team is now-engaged in, the inter-playground tournament for a district championship and hopes are high that these court wizards will present Supervisor Willis Camp with the 1934 basketball title. It won't be for lack of trying on tha part of the following hoopsters: Billy Jenkinson, Ken Moser, Leslie Robertson, Clifford J-r Louis Costa, Baymond Jo' Carl Eotby PROGRAM piness, which he finds in his favorite hobby. "And that brings me to another thought which I should like to express to you.

It happens from time to time that I hear of a friend who is discouraged, a friend who has been ill or who has had some other variety of misfortune, and inva riably my instinct is to tell him to interest himself in stamps, to dis cover lor himself the peace oi mind, the relaxation, which stamp collecting brings. President Roosevelt Is a living proof of the value of she idea. When he was so ill that his phy sicians were agreed that he would be an invalid for the rest of his days, he called for his stamp albums and occupied himself with them the confidence of a real philosopher. All Muring his long struggle back to health and his campaign to reach the highest office within the gift of his countrymen he was a loyal philatelist, finding recreation in the study of stamps and their history." Mr. Eidness estimates that there are nine million stamp collectors.

He is not favorably disposed to the proposition of the post office de partment issuing a set oi stamps embracing all the presidents' pic tures. He believes that there are many more wortnwnne suDjecis that could be utilized. He says: "My faith is that stamps constitute the greatest potential educational in strument the government has, and I favor the wise rational use of the power inherent in them." STAMP CLUB MEETING The Berkeley Philatelic Society will have an unusual treat at their. meeting on February 27. August Andeberg of San Francisco will ex plain and show changes of cancel lations of various cities in foreign countries.

club meets at the I. O. O. F. temple at Fulton and Bancroft Streets, Berkeley.

Visitors will be welcome. The San Leandro Philatelic So ciety will meet at 7:45 Monday eve ning, February 12. at 200 Ward Street, San Leandro (upstairs). An interesting program is being pro vided. COURSE IN COLLECTING Here is a new idea which should prove of benefit to the collectors who live in Seattle.

The Y. M. C. A. and some of the high schools are giving a course in stamp collecting.

The full course, 15 lessons, is given at the Y. M. J. A. on Monday night from 7:30 to 9:30, and at the West Seattle High School from 3:15 to 5:15 every Tuesday.

The course is free and is being conducted on the lines of a college course, with Instructor and lecturers. It touches not only the fundamentals of the hobby but the historical, geograph ical and technical side as well. The Seattle educators are making more rapid strides in the use of the stamp collecting hobby than Is being done in most American cities. NATIONAL EXHIBITION So great has become the demand for exhibition space at the National Stamp Exhibition In New York which opens February 10 that an additional floor in the Radio City Building had to be secured. The United States Post Office Depart ment installed a Branch Philatelic Agency and installed a special stamp printing press on which the imperforate Byrd stamps are being printed.

Three Eastbay stamp collectors have entered exhibits; Henry Chal-loner, secretary of the Berkeley Philatelic Society, is competing with a very valuable exhibit, and two Oakland boys, Billy Roberts and Bob Gray, who have won their spurs in our local school stamp ex hibitions, are trying their ability against thf best junior collectors in the country. MOUNTING STAMPS This department receives many enquiries as to some simple method of mounting mint stamps without the use of hinges. E. H. Harris Company has just placed on the market "Crystal-Mount," which has many unusual features and seems to solve the problem- of mounting mint stamps.

The mount comes in the form of a tube made of a transparent, moisture proof cellulose acetate that is non-shrinking, and Will not injure stamps. Each tube is twelve inches long and wide enough to accommodate almost any stamp. On the reverse srieof the tube is a gummed (trip so that the "pocket" can be mounted to the album page without the use of a hinge. The Illustration shows the method of handling. You first place your stamp in the tube, then trim tube close to stamp; third, fold back upper part of tube to.

make snug fit of stamp. Moisten the gum tap and place In album. The tub comes in two sizes, one for singles na ooe for block. PIEDMONT LIS 'a" HOLD 'AG' EVENTI iXSTn ACTIVITIES AMONG NEGROES BY DELJLAHL. BEASLEY the philatelic hobby with ardent enthusiasm and remain narrow or bigoted, selfish or mean.

The stamp collector, wherever he resides, is a world citizen, knowing all nations and appreciating all, but of course preferring the land In which he is born and the people with whom his destiny Is especially connected. Thus philately makes Tor international amity and brotherhood, and at the same time promotes patriotism and the social Instinct. If there be a nobler goal than these for human endeavor I never have heard its name. ABOUT SCHOOL CREDITS "It is because I so deeply believe in the liberalization and educational values of stamp collecting that I advocate philately for children. If I could have my way in the matter, I would arrange that the schools of every country, town and city might have a philatelic adviser, a skilled and competent man or woman who would go from class to class, teaching stamps and the science of stamps as painting and music are now taught.

"I would approve an understanding whereby a boy or girl might have credit for philatelic enterprise for time, thought and energy spent In the study of philatelic material. I would do everything possible to stimulate the hobby for its con structive effect upon the child's mind. I am confident that the average normal, child would respond and that the resultant enthusiasm would be an endowment, an enrichment of his life. "But I am just as ardent an advocate of stamp collecting 'for adults, and I believe it woula be a mistake to permit the impression to prevail that philately is merely a Juvenile pastime. Of course, it is not limited, should not be limited trt nnv cinele neriod of an individ ual's career.

I have met collectors Of 7 and 70, and they differed nat urally enough in every respect ex. eept with regard to their affection for the stamp game. Doubtless the Ideal arrangement would be that whereby a person begins to collect as an infant and keeps on to the very end. President Roosevelt is an excellent example 'of that type of collector. He was only 8 years LAUREL FORMS HOCKEY LOOP One cannot dally invade the play grounds without realizing the pop ularity of roller skates these days.

Wherever surfacing permits, throngs of girls and boys are filling the at mosphere with the merry din of a younger generation completely gone "free-wheeling." FORM HOCKEY LOOP The latest to Join the army of gliding experts are the playfellows from the Laurel School. Like many others on the grade school circuit, this playground has a day set aside exclusively for the skaters, but Supervisor Ed Neuwirth has advanced a bit ahead of some of his colleagues by organizing "A Big Four" hockey league, carrying 11 men each on the squads. They are now entering their fourth week of competition, with the standings as follows In the order listed: Maple Leafs, Rangers (tied for first), Americans and Tigers. An individual record is kept of those who score the goals, and at the present time the three highest scorers are: K. stainprooic oi xne Maple Leafs with 6, T.

Meneketti of the Rangers with 5 and R. Koshaw of the Americans with 4. AGGRESSIVE PLAY i Competition is fast, rugged and aggressive and the teams, Super visor Neuwirth informs us, are so evenly matched that it is impossible to. favor any one. The Tigers, who now occupy the cellar, took on the league-leading Leafs last week and held them to a 4-to-4' tie.

At that rate they may easily reach the top. The hockey season will culminate in the selecting of two all-star teams, who are to battle It out in a post-season series for the latest of playground championships. Here are the present first-string lineups of the four teams: Maple Leaf Whalen Rojnsted, atdnbrook, Smiera, Martina and Lewla. Rangers Menekeui (carn.l. itenara.

The Hartje's have been a constant threat to the league-leaders since the opening of play two weeks ago and try defeating 'the Aztecs Friday night tied for second place with the Panthers. They meet the Comets this week in what they consider the "crucial" game of the series. The Comet slipped Into first place by a scant margin of 18 to 14 after fighting the Allen's on even terms uatll the last few minutes of the game. The winning squad, to date, Is the former Jefferson Square quintet to which the top spot In league competition has become an old court custom. Its team work at all times clicks on a rhythmic scale and just now it seems slatH for another one of those titles that ranks It an ace aggregation.

On the other hand the Hartje's are to be reckoned as a real menace. In their first victory over the All-Stars the 25 to 13 score looked plenty good to the ardent boosters of the club. When they, took the secohd game from the highly-rated Aztecs the sideliners decided that in the forthcoming tussle for first place next week, the Comets are about to meet their Waterloo.

The time is fast approaching when the annual drive for funds to fill the chest will be launched in-the Eastbay cities. It is hardly necessary to restate the tremendous needs for completely filling the Community Chest this year. The lack of funds this year has been a great handicap to many of the agencies. 'These agencies have incurred debls that must be paid. It has been proven by a careful survey that three-fourths of the amount collected through the Community Chest is used in child welfare "work.

If you do not do your duty and sacrifice and fill the chest the children of the community who are powerless to help themselves will be- the greatest sufferers. Word comes from Community Chest headquarters that one of the best addresses this season at a Community Chest luncheon was recently delivered by Rev. Daniel Hill, the newly appointed pastor of First African Methodist Episcopal Church. He used as his subject, "Achieving Unity Through the Community Chest." He received fine applause and made many friends for the race because of his knowledge of human values. Dr.

Nelson is also doing some fine work for the Chest. A large group is working under the leadership of Miss Lula Chapman, executive secretary of the Linden Brarich, Y. W. C. A.

She has built up a working organization with the Y. W. C. and is doing some work that will be outr'-nding at the end of the drive. Among different organizations of colored citizens who are quietly working to help-fill the Community Chest may be noted the Alameda County League of Colored Women Voters and the Men's Training Group of Beth Eden Baptist Church, who with Henderson Davis and C.

Stover are educating those, with whom tfiey come in eon-tact as to the value of the Community Chest. This.is part of the work inaugurated by R. C. Stover, who also assisted In the names of Negro clubs and-fraternal organizations, their house address and phone numbers, and after veri fying the same turned them overv to this writer who for several years has held this department in the Commtmitr Cbest vpf age when he first felt the fas ft ctaation of philately. Tpday he has more than 40 years of stamp expe rience behind and I hope a period equally long to enjoy.
