And all Americans, West and East, tend to squeeze more coffee out of a pound can than the experts recommend. These are among the conclusions reached by the Pan American Coffee Bureau after eight years of surveying America's coffee habits.

The interest is hardly academic, for the 15 Latin American countries that comprise the bureau depend on coffee exports for their livelihood. By consuming close to half of the world's coffee exports, the United States imported more than 2.9 billion pounds of coffee last year. The 107 million coffee drinkers in the United States consume along with their billion worth of coffee a year $450-miilion worth of milk and cream and $113-million worth of sugar. As for the nation's coffee habits, the bureau found: 39 per cent of the drinkers prefer both sugar and milk or cream; 19 per cent add only milk or cream; 11 per cent add only sugar. Another 31 per cent of America's coffee drinkers like their beverage straight without sugar or cream.

The contract was a slight stretch because North had only; 9 points in high cards, and South had only the minimum count of 16 points. The total was one point short of the 26 points usually needed for game, but South scrambled home with a nine, a ten, and a bit of luck.

The opening lead gave South a free finesse in spades, but declarer was still far from home. He had to develop the clubs as quickly as possible. Correct Finesse South made the correct play, leading a low club from his hand and finessing with dummy's nine. This drove out the jack, and South later captur-! ed the queen of clubs and could' run the rest of the suit from the South hand. Any method would work if the six missing clubs were divided 3-3, and nothing would work if East had Q-x or J-x.

The correct play would limit the club loss to one trick if West had Q-x, J-x, or Q-J-x-x. When the clubs proved for four tricks South had a easy time. He could develop one heart trick to reach a total of nine tricks. In the meantime the defenders could take only Industrial Production Going Strong Even With Some 'Its' two spades, one heart, IB club.

Since you have only 5 points in high cards, the partnership total must be 21 to 23 points, which is not enough for game. You have a little strength in each suit and have no reason to fear a notrump contract. NEW YORK (AP)-The U.S. economy is closing out its fourth full year of expansion with a burst of activity and a handful of problems currently acute. In the middle of February 1961 the economy, as measured by industrial production and similar Indices, hit the bottom of the last recession.

From then on the path has been upward, with only' an occasional slowdown or a dip for reasons that proved temporary. Industrial production and the other measures of prosperity are still going strong. They show every sign of further expansion: --If the labor disputes now besetting such industries as shipping are resolved shortly. --If the steel union strife is settled without deep scars, and the union and steel management can then reach agreement on a new contract in time to head off a threatened strike, and in time to cool off an overheated rush to build up steel inventories now at the expense of a slump in orders later in the year. --If these and other labor settlements don't lead to wide advances in prices.

--If the U.S. balance of payments can be tamed, and the financial difficulties of Britain smoothed over without causing another international monetary crisis or upsetting the money and credit applecart at home --If the big boom in auto production and sales proves to be based on continuing consumer demand rather than on just the Loco!

The problems and uncertainties aside, the current statistics are mostly on the side of optimism. The big spurt of industrial production in December apparently carried over into January, and in February is slowed only in those industries and sections hit by the Atlantic and Gulf coast shipping strike. Retail sales are strong, with all signs that consumers are in a spending mood and have plenty of income and savings to back it.

However, he said the proposed Credit Valley river con- rol program west of Toronto did not qualify for such aid. Ontario had requested federal assistance in the 16,676,000 program, proposed by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. Under the legislation the federal and Ontario governments would each have borne per cent of the cost.

The Credit Valley program for six new dams and reservoirs and three new channel improvements, to be buill in two phases. Phase One, to cost $3,543,000 calls for dams and reservoirs at Orangeville, Silver Creek and Belfountain, with related channel improvements. He explained the federal cabinet's position on Phase One in a letter to Ontario's Resources Minister J. R. Simonett, stating that, "The benefit-cost analysis presented for the proiect shows that it depends mainly on recreation benefits to justify the proposed expenditure.

"The calculated benefits for flood control and water conservation (excluding recreation) account for less than 30 per cent of the total benefits. "While we do not underestimate the importance of recreation developments, particularly in the Toronto-Hamilton region, the federal government has always considered recreation to be a predominantly local matter." Laing praised the work being done under the Credit Valley program, but noted that most of the benefits would be for iia uai LH.IL/CTIGU i me recreation, rather than flood keys to a building; lives were considered. As yet there are no final plans, whether a new one-teacher school will go in across the river: whether these students will be transported by bus to Talkeetna, if and when the road is finished: or whether they will possibly be the first students in Alaska be flown to and from school by plane. control were passed from Paul Haire, mtrnl anrl r-nirarvation were passed rrom raui i Laing had iSted last July! general contractor: to Jan to the schoo Namely: Ends Visit that the federal government losky, Chairman of the oWing chairs, a pro would not participate in Phase -nuska-Susitna Two.
