JOBLESS RANKS IN RENO SWOLLEN IN JANUARY. Summer Homes Damaged by Deep Snowfall Reports of snow damage to sum mer homes in the Sierra Nevada vacation area continued to reach here today. 1 Robertson, El Dorado county supervisor at Lake Tahoe, said he has been told at least 15 homes on the Nevada side have suffered damage in varying degrees. He located them between the state line and Elko below Zephyr Cove.

At least that many more have collapsed or suffered less severe damage beneath the weight of the heavy snow pack in Tahoe valley and on up the west shore of the iane. From Tahoe City came word today that four more houses in that area, one a luxurious, 46-year-old lakeshore home, have gone down Damage estimated at $25,000 was done to a two-story house at Ta-homa. Built in 1906, it was still a showplace of the area. The house belonged jointly to Dr. and Mrs.

Victor Brochard of San Francisco and the Carl Lindleys of'Altadena. At Tahoe Park, the one-year-old home of the H. J. Buckmans of Sacramento went down, and at Meeks bay, a house belonging to Claire T. Van Etten of Los Angeles was crushed.

Described as a total loss was a home belonging to Thomas Cand-dolfo, 723 Sparks. It collapsed under the weight of the snow at Kings Beach. Summer home damage has also been reported at such other Sierra resori areas as bucks Jake in Plumas county, Silver lake in Las sen county, Dormer lake, Echo and Fallen Leaf lakes near Tahoe, and along both highways 40 and 50. Snow damage to summer homes in Plumas county has been at a minimum, according to reports re ceived here. Homeowners in the Bucks lake region have been shoveling snow sintfe storm subsided.

Heavy loads of snow were removed from bur dened roofs and residents of that area have reported only minor dam age. owners or a warehouse near Blairsden have estimated their losses at $4000 in the collapse of the structure. The contents were sal vaged. Around Lake Almanor, residents report that it takes an average of from one and a half to two days to shovel the snow from around homes and an additional day to shovel it off the roof. Snow is piled 10 feet on the level in that Plumas county section.

Nevada to Share Forest Receipts Nevada's share of national forest receipts amounted $45,842, the U. S. department of agriculture reported today. Twenty-five per cent of the money received by the federal government for the sale of timber, grazing fees and land leases in national forests is returned to the states.

Dr. William Lipton performs: this function for, bridge players in the New York area. Willy Lipton is also a first-class player, so very often he winds up winning the very tournament he has worked so hard to promote. In today's hand we see his Machiavellian touch bringing home' a game that should have been defeated.

Pass 3 NT. Pass Pass Pass Opening lead 4 West opened the four of spades, and East held the trick with his jack. Dr. Lipton took the spade return with the ace and crossed to dummy with the queen of clubs in order to lead the four of hearts from the dummy. The idea was artful but very simple.

Lipton needed a heart trick to make sure of his contract. He wanted to make West win the first heart trick, if possible, for reasons that will soon be clear. He knew that if he led hearts for the first time from his own hand. West would play low in order to let East win the first trick in that suit. East would be able to return-his last spade, clearing the suit.

West would still have the ace of hearts as the entry to his established spades. When Dr. Lipton led the four of hearts from the dummy East made the normal (but wrong) play of the six of hearts. (He should have put up the king.) When declarer played the queen of hearts. West could do nothing to defeat the contract.

If West refused the trick South would have had the one heart trick that he If West took the heart with his ace, he had no further entry to the spades. Dr. Lipton would be able to set up his heart trick without worrying about the menacing spade suit. Even if the earth did not rotate at all on its own axis, the sun would rise and set once during the year because of the earth's journey around it.

POOLE, Minister Church School 10:00 AM Morning Worship 11:00 AM Subject: "The Riches of Christ" A Home-Like Church With Chapel in the Home January's unemployment figure in the Reno area increased considerably this year, according to A. D. Lucas, manager of the local state employment service office. The 38 per cent increase of jobless here this year compared to the same period last year, can be attributed mainly to the severe winter storm conditions which prevailed during most of the month, Mr. Lucas said.

Last month the active file of unemployed for the 31-day period reached 2020 compared with the 1951 high of 1462. The unusually sharp decline in employment is further reflected by the volume of claims filed for unemployment compensations. During January, the number of claimants reached a weekly high of 1466.

G.O.P. Lincoln Day DINNER "Pattern Ranch" the other evening and invited me to go along with him while he made a speech in the high school auditorium. After he had finished making his talk, we walked out in front of the auditorium where it was dark and listened to the com- ments of the people as they were leaving.

For, the most part they seemed to like what he had said, but there were also those whose com ments were not very favorable. Two or three even went so far as to say he was crazy. I asked him if it didn't trouble him to hear some of these people say that he was stupid. "As a mat ter of fact," he said, "it doesn't bother me at all, that's why I came out here where it's dark. If the peo ple don't see me then I'll get some honest opinions." He went on, "If you take a common sense attitude you ought to thank people for criti cizmg you; they are doing a real service, you owe them something, It's not very easy to find out what people think about you.

It rare that your friends will tell you about yourself, because they are afraid that if they do, you won't be friends any more. However, your enemies aren't a bit reluctant to tell you about yourself. It might be painful, but it's also valuable. Our enemies are the people we should remember in our will." I agreed with the fellow and said, Now? that you've heard all about yourself, let's go home where it's warm and have some coffee." After we were home a while, and were drinking our coffee, he kept admir ing a new table that I had just built. asked him if I could take his word for it's being a good-looking piece of furniture, or would it be neces sary to call in a few enemies.

He said I could take his word for it, so I did and I asked pretty little Sandra Spence if she would come out to the ranch and have her picture taken with it. There might be some enemies who will criticize the table, but it's quite unlikely that they will find fault with Sandra. She's the scorekeeper on N. B. C's television show, "Pantomine Quiz." You couldn't find a better coffee table.

Certainly when you build it your self it doesn't cost very much. If you wish to build a coffee table like the one pictured, you will find that it's very easy when you use the full size pattern. Simply trace the pattern on wood, then saw it out and finally put it together. After that you will stain it and wax it and put it in use. If anything happens and it gets damaged, then all you need do is get another couple of dollars worth of material and build another one.

That's the good thing about home made furniture) when it gets worn out it only costs a couple of dollars and a little time to replace it. To obtain the full size coffee table pattern No. 105, send 50c in coin to Steve Ellington, Reno Evening Ga zette, Reno, Nevada. vOther patterns you will enjoy: No. Lawn 'and Patio cents; No.

(AP wirephoto) Five Are Named Directors of Community Chest Five prominent Reno residents were lastnight elected to the three' year terms on the board of directors of Reno Community chest at the tenth annual meeting of electors in the chamber of commerce rooms of the state building. Named to three-year terms on the board by an unanimous vote of electors representing 16 civic and service organizations were H. P. Dayton, David Goldwater, Hayes Shaffer, Mrs.

Reno Thatcher and Mrs. Robert Bruce. The new di rectors will assume office within ten days and will then elect the 1952 president of Community Chest from among the 17 directors comprising the board. Retiring a three years of service are Mrs. A.

J. Adams, William R. Beemer and Frank Tracy. Two other directors, Mrs. Roy Bankofier and David Goldwater were elected for one-year terms in 1951 when the board was expanded to a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 17 members.

Since he had only served one year Mr. Goldwater was eligible for reelection to a three-year term. This year, the first time since the reorganization, the board of directors will reach maximum membership since the outgoing president Mr. Beemer, and the past campaign chairman, Kenneth P. Dillon, both serve automatic terms of one year on the board.

The newly-elected directors were unanimously approved after Joe McDonald named them as the report of the nominating committee. That committee was composed of William Beemer, Joe McDonald, Mrs. Charles Merrill, Morris Stewart, Joe Charles Short and Lester Hilp. Following the election of the new directors, Mr. Beemer, chairman of the meeting, read the treasurers' financial report submitted by Frank Tracy, and it was approved by the electors present.

The chairman also read a report from Kenneth Dillon, chairman of the campaign which has been called one of the most successful in Reno Community Chest history. In his report, Mr. Dillon pointed out several recommendations for future years and attributed the success of the 1951 drive for 1952 funds to the fact that it was streamlined and did not utilize the services of a paid outside director. He pointed out the fact that the gross amount raised thus far stands second high in the all-time history of Reno Commun ity Chest and actually is first from the standpoint of the amount that the chest is able to turn over to its 12 beneficiary agenciesfor the 1952 operation.
