McKENNEY ON BRIDGE Hy WHXIAM 1C. McKENNEY I was quite interested in the con- Lest that Jack Barry conducted on Ills program, "Life Begins at Eighty."

Jack and I thought that if we could get this foursome around a bridge table, probably not one of them would make the mistake that one of our life masters made when today's hand was played in the world championship individual tournament. The opening lead was the king of clubs, and our life master friend in the East decided to be fancy, and not win the first trick in dummy.

South continued with the ten of clubs, and when dummy's ace was played. North did not trump. He discarded the five of hearts. Even now declarer had a chance to make the hand, but at this point he led a diamond toward his queen. North won and led back a spade, which South won.

Another club was returned and North discarded the other heart. If declarer had won the first trick with ace of clubs in dummy, then quickly cashed the king and ace of hearts and led a small diamond toward the queen, he would have had no trouble at all to make the contract.

law limiting oiit-of-state truckers to 20 gallons of gasoline in their tanks when they enter South Dakota is being enforced, state officials said Friday. Motor fuel tax agents stationed in border cities conduct a continuous check of incoming trucks to ascertain whether the law is being violated, State Tax Director W. R. Wilder said. If a violator is found, the South Dakota tax of four cents a gallon on the fuel over 20 gallons is collected.

If the trucker is a "chronic violator," he is prosecuted, Wilder added. The law provides that an operator importing more than 20 gallons of gasoline in his tanks can not do so without being a dealer. Under the law, if he secures a South Dakota motor fuel dealers license, posts the required bond, and pays the South Dakota tax on the excess, he is not limited as to gal- lonage he may bring into the state. Attorney General Sigurd Anderson explained. Many truckers hold dealers licenses and thus are not subject to the restriction, Wilder said.

Minnesota and Nebraska have the same 20-gallon import limits. Iowa has a limit of 20 gallons on passenger cars and 50 gallons tin trucks. The motor fuel tax hi Minnesota and Iowa is the same as South Dakota's. In Nebraska it is five cents or one cent a gallon more. Nebraska conducts a single port of entry gas tank check near Yankton, Supt.

W. J. Goetz of the state motor patrol said he was informed by Nebraska The check is a part-time process performed by gasoline station operators at that point, he was ndvist-d. Wilder and Goete said South Dakota truckers operating In other states frequently "gaS up" here and make their round trips without refueling elsewhere. 13 Students Are Named To Avon Honor Roll Avon, S.
