ps SIX THE REPUBLIC, COLUMBUS, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1971. MENTIONING By JEAN PRATHER Women's Editor Ray Sexton dropped by this desk Monday to talk about bridge and dancing he teaches both. He goes on the theory that classes are fun, and then afterwards his students go on having For instance, the Columbus Dance club, dance in the traditional sense of foxtrot, rhumba, waltz, etc. meets twice a month at Donner center for practice sessions and is now self-sustaining. They even have.

their own tape player and tapes. In April the group of ex-students will be meeting the 7th and 21st from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. There usually are about 30 couples. Bob Owens is the sparkplug president. the way, Ray is beginning a secondary, dance course By here in Columbus Monday for those past the beginning phase: Further information can be obtained from Bob, 546-5161, or John Budd, 376-6654.

The Columbus Dance club will have a "live" dance May I at the Seymour armory with Ted Lang orchestra. A week before that there will be a bridge party for all students and ex-students of Ray April 24 at the Imperial House motel at Bloomington. A women's afternoon bridge class is being planned this spring here. Then on July 10 both bridge and dance enthusiasts are joining forces for the first time for a week end at the famous French Lick hotel. Bridge will be played from 1 to 4 p.m.

and dancing is planned 9 to midnight to the music of Jimmy Nash and his orchestra. Of the 125 rooms reserved for the Sexton students over half have already been spoken 1 for. Bridge and dancing is a family affair in the Sexton household. Ray is quite proud of his son, Mike, 24, a paratrooper at Fort Bragg, N. who recently played at the 2- week national bridge tournament in Atlanta, Ga.

Not only was he granted a 2-week leave his superiors, but his company sponsored him, paying all expenses. His partner was a bays bridge teacher in the Fort Bragg area. They were not in the top scorers, but did well in their division and had the opportunity to meet and watch many of the "big names" in bridge including the Jacobys and the dazzling Italian team. Another son, Tom, now 25, is chief gymnastics coach of a high school in Dayton, Ohio, and his team recently won the Ohio state gymnastics championship. I don't think it's stretching things too far to note there is a connection between gymnastics and the discipline of dancing.

Sexton dance students of a decade ago will remember these boys as teen-agers demonstrating dance steps for their dad at dances at the Indiana Roof hall in Indianapolis. Since so many local families are heading for Florida and other vacation points as soon as school is dismissed Friday for Easter vacation, perhaps it would be wise to mention an April 17 special event at this time, so plans can be made ahead of time. The Brown County Garden club is sponsoring the 11th annual daffodil show and they hope the daffodils will cooperate on that date. The actual show will be held 1 to 5:30 p.m. in the Christian church.

There will be an informal show of spring flowers in the gardens and on wooded slopes of the homes in Nashville and nearby. All Brown county residents and members of the American Daffodil society are invited to participate; entries will be accepted from 7 to 10 a.m. The hostess club will be assisted by the Hopeful Planters and the Good Neighbors Garden clubs. If you cannot bear the thought of throwing away books -something akin to discarding old friends there's a solution at hand in donating them to the Columbus branch of the American Association of University Women for its annual book fair. It won't be until May 15 that's only six weeks away at Gene's bakery at Eastbrook: Plaza shopping center, but collection boxes already are in place just inside the front entrance of the Cleo Rogers Memorial library and at the bakery.

If you have a bunch of books call Mrs. Michael Williamson, chairman of the project, at 372-9084, and she will see they are picked up at your conveneince. Text books are about the only kind of books not accepted. In addition to fiction, non fiction, biography, classics, art books, mysteries, certain magazines like Holiday and National Geographic are popular, and of course, paperbacks on just about any subject. Proceeds from this annual event which grows in popularity each year are used for fellowships for qualified women to further studies on graduate levels, raising the standard of education generally.

It took him five play the rest of the the contract was minutes, out the window as soon as he got his grimy hand on that jack of hearts." We really sympathize with our correspondent. If South had taken time out to think at trick one he would have seen that his correct play was to play a low heart from dummy.

South could be sure of nine tricks if West held the queen of hearts. He would also be sure of nine tricks against the actual distribution provided he played low from both hands. He would still be in trouble if that 10 of hearts had been a singleton but then there would be no way to bring the contract home.
