On the heart opening declarer held up until the third round and then ruined the effect of this maneuver by playing dummy's three top diamonds. When the suit failed to break he was limited to eight tricks and suffered a 50 point loss.

Having held up in the heart suit, declarer, as a precaution against a bad break, should have been content to bring in only four diamond tricks. When West played low on the first diamond lead, he should have put in the eight from dummy which would have insured his nine-trick contract. In the defeat of the contract there was poetic justice of a kind, for the result proved to be what nature had intended.

Copia cibi et delecta-3' i tionis sibi erit. Responde tu si veniea." So said the Latin invitation I received via the mails from Winter Garden last week. Translation-wise, it threw me.

I knew it was Latin because those Roman numerals were a dead give-away, and I figured out the tail-end sounded like "respond if you can come," alias R.S.V.P. But what kind of shindig was I supposed to come to in order to respond for? Fortunately, I received a communique from Lakeview High School student, Rodney Reeves, explaining that I was invited to the second annual Latin banquet at Lakeview High School. "The first year class comes dressed as slaves and servers. The second year class comes dressed as Roman gods and goddesses," wrote Rodney. "If you like," he continued, "come dressed as a goddess or however you choose." 4 0 I CHOSE to attend in my ever-present capacity as a serf one who tries to serf the public.

Pardon the corn. I didn mean to go overboard on that serf. Let's beach-it. Anyway, with pencil behind right ear and dark circles under eyes, I qualify as a newspaper serf. Right off the bat upon entering the banquet scene lilt-view cafeteria, I cornered Latin teacher, Mrs.

Ellen Poc'o "Pssst," I whispered trying to catch her attention. Taa you translate this invitation? I hate to display my ignorance around your Latin students," Mrs. Dooley, who was attired in a royal purple gown as a Roman domina, graciously complied, so if you've been worrying over the translation to the first para-graph, here 'tis. "Ulysses and Penelope invite your presence to a Latin dinner in their private dining room, Lakeview High School, 7 p.m., May 18, 1956. There will be an abundance 'of food and entertainment for you.

R.S.V.P." 0 0 0 FRIENDS, I wish you could've seen that banquet arena and the costumed Latin students partaking of an old-fashioned picnic supper as Romans. Attired in sheets, double towels, gowns, and what have you, they were reclined on the floor each had brought sofa pillows for cushioned reinforcement and they ate from benches which sufficed as tables. But I'm getting ahead of myself. To begin the proceedings, there was a loud, clanging gong. It sounded like something out of a J.

Arthur Rank production's beginning. It was followed by the parade of gods and goddesses into the beautifully decorated banquet room. They took their places on the floor and entertainment followed. It seems the banquet theme was Ulysses and Penelope Tommy Galloway was Ulysses and Karen Moran was his faithful Penelope and as entertainment a dancing girl Ulysses was supposed to have brought home with him danced. Orean Hall rendered a real cool hula as the dancing gal.

The next part of the program was the slave auction with Art the kids called tlim Artus, his Roman appellation Dees ns auctioneer. Then came the eats, and this was the event that tickled me so. There the kids were looking more Roman than Romans probably ever did, and they were putting away Hch American food as deviled eggs, corn on the cob, fried riicken, punch or nectar, and cup cakes. ooo THERE MUST'VE been close to 90 fun-loving teenagers ttending the banquet. Rodney Reeves was the spitting image of cupid in his pink silk tunic, golld sandals and gilded hair.

Judy Roberson was a beautiful Diana, goddess of the hunt, complete with bow and arrows. Eddie Blaine was a realistic Bacchus, god of wine, in his multi-colored towel outfit, earrings, and wine bottle empty, of course. Mary Irrgang as Iris, goddess of the rainbow, was equipped with a rainbow headgear of some description. Lamar Burgess was dressed in a gorgeous yellow-gold tunic to portray Apollo. "There's Mercury," I said to roving reporter-photographer Max Norris of The Sentinel, "but I don't see his winged heels." "Maybe there's a Big on that helmet he's wearing quipped Max and I knew Central Florida Motors would be commercially pleased.

Don Shaw was the messenger, Mercury. Max seemed to get as big a bang out of the banquet festivities as I did, particularly when Fay Brankert, clad in green towel tunic, served fried chicken. A sign pinned to her person read, "Canto Pulchra, Fido." Max's inimitable transla trump rebid was unjustified. He referred to my textbook requirement of 19 points for the jump rebid in no trump by the opener. South, he pointed out, efforts.

West could have brought this about by playing the jack of diamands on the first lead of that suit. This would have prevented a duck by declarer, for West would now be able to cash enough hearts to set the contract. In any event, West could not lose by the play. I had only 18. We are unsympathetic to his indictment.

To us it seems like the devil quoting scriptures to his own purpose. A holding of 18 gilt edged Mill HOI! OF YOUR MINI) Is It neurotic to like parties?

Should you find yourself overtaxing your strength attending functions you cannot afford, it would be wise to re-evaluate your attitudes before they become fixed. Answer: Not as long as you keep a balanced attitude toward them. Normally a party permits you to relax and enjoy yourself, to dress your best, to meet old friends and make new ones. These are normal desires, but they may become neurotic if you become ('TA -KrxyF WHITTLING GNlCe- NEAT fl'VU WITH A kWPS AKO WUIT6 iVrtvf -ffUUi KlVQiCTl plNE 4TICX6 A FRESH SUPPLY VfI2 VTrnn w.yKifAJi of wood nneelv. even tme.
