E-8 Friday, March 10. 1978 HONOLULU ADVERTISER CT1IOVINA scripts rs San Francisco AWUCMA PO TO PLAY WMO'U KNOW TELL JAricly I 1 Just Checking i 16 lou boyd The Guinness Book of Records may want to hold the presses: Mrs. Louise MacLeod of S.F. celebrated her 80th year as a Red Cross volunteer the other day; still going strong at 94, she passed out her first doughnuts during the Span-Am War in '98. Did you know it was Red Cross doughnuts that gave Yank soldiers of World War I their nickname of The nuts came later.

TALK ABOUT dizzcrimination! In Dr. Carlton Cood-lett'i newspaper, The Sun-Reporter, the word "Black" is always capitalized while "white" is always lower case. SODDEN THOUGHT: With all those guest conductors trotting in and out, do you sometimes feel we have a no-host symphony orchestra? (Awrrright). About all those people walking around in quilted down jackets: Who'd have thought that the Red Chinese would become a major fashion factor in this country? As you joggers and jigglers know, the No. 1 warmup suit is Adidas a word that, a nine-year-old girl confided the other day, stands for "All day I dream about sex." Nine! Impresario Kurt Herbert Adler's son, Ronald, a successful opera director in Europe, makes his American debut this fall by directing "Rigoletto" not here, but in San Diego.

Sign at dogeye level on the porch of the Sausalito Food "Dogs Will Be Towed." CARTOONIST Wm. Hamilton's first play. "Save Grand Central," had a successful opening in Los Gatos the other night, even though Prima Ballerina Natalia Makarova (Mrs. Edward Karkar) left after the first act and took a cab back to S.F.; $35 plus tip. Critic Stanley Eichelbaum must have had Hamilton fainting with damn praise after this line in his review the other' day: "It has enough going for it to warrant rewriting." TALK ABOUT fringe benefits! 26-year-old Terrence Howell is the only male among 10 women working at Crocker Bank's 25th and Irving branch.

"I like Mexican food," confesses Howe de Droll, "but only from the waist up." Howe is a friend of Strange de Jim, who defines "kinky" as a lady showing up at an orgy wearing No Nonsense "Control Top" pantyhose. "In San Francisco, of course, it's a gentleman doing the same." There's a new wrinkle among female pickpockets in New Orleans, police say. At least one gang of half a dozen young women work together. They pick a male mark, swarm over him, kiss him on his face, neck, hands, fondle him thoroughly in a most disconcerting manner, and by the time he finds out they're not solicitors of a different sort, they're gone and so is his billfold. FRENCH students of the 17th century used to hang around in taverns and drink and sing naughty songs.

Shocking, what? Before each song, they'd lift their mugs and yell something that sounded like "lampoon" meaning "let's drink." Somehow the word "lampoon" got bent in the translation to wind up as a characterization of satirical writing. Q. "I KNOW blue denims were so named because that cloth originally came from Nimes de Nimes in France. But why are they called jeans?" A. Early purchasers were sailors of Genoa Genes and they popularized them.

Q. "THE FIVE interlocking rings that comprise the symbol of the Olympic games are black, blue, red, green and yellow. What's the significance of these colors, if any?" A. One of them appears on every national flag in the world. Q.

"WHAT'S the longest straight stretch of railroad track?" A. The track across Australia's Nullarbor Desert. It goes for 328 miles without curving or crossing anything. IT'S NOT how long that dairy cow of yours grazes in the pasture every day. It's how many bites she takes.

That's what determines how much milk she'll give. (This assumes there's still something out there for her to take bites of. which there probably isn't.) Anyhow, researchers in Brisbane, Australia, now know that the average Jersey cow takes 36,000 bites a day. which is satisfactory. If your cow doesn't do as well, you might want to trade her in for a quicker biter.

Better start counting. THE COLORS orange and black are danger signs in the wild. In snakes. In big cats. Birds are said to fear orange and black.

Some scholars think the Monarch butterfly owes its survival to the fact that it wings are orange and black.

The most common bidding was that shown in the box with South playing one notrump, taking the spade finesse and losing one spade, four diamonds, two clubs and 50 points.

There is a way to make one notrump. See if you can find it. Not many Souths did. Here's the play. South wins the second diamond and decides that East will be holding all the missing high cards.

Then he cashes the king and queen of hearts and throws East in with a Here is a part-score hand from the charity game. North will almost surely collect eight tricks in hearts for plus 110 and those North players who played in hearts got very good scores. The best East-West scores came when East bid two clubs after North reopened with one heart. South doubled two clubs and then someone doubled two diamonds. Two diamonds can only be beaten if South leads ace and another diamond before giving East a chance to get on lead.

ASK THE EXPERTS A Florida reader wants to know what the "Unusual" notrump convention is and who invented it. We will answer the second part today. It was invented by Alvin Roth of New York, one of the greatest bridge theorists and players. Second part answered tomorrow.

The gcheming wenches come across for some badly-wanted necessity or maybe a luxury. This puts marriage on the same level as prostitution. But what about husbands who do the same thing? I'm married to one.

I get "punished" (no sex) when I do something that displeases him. Sometimes I don't even know what he's mad about. He refuses to tell me just says. "Think a while and you'll figure it out." When he's in the mood it doesn't make any difference what I'm doing. I can be knitting, counting stitches, peeling potatoes, scrubbing a floor.

We've made love in the bathtub (no water and very uncomfortable), on the stairs and in a jeep. Sometimes I wonder where he gets such weird ideas. we were married he seemed very normal. What makes a person get warped like this? Does he need counseling? Do I need counseling? Who's sick? B. Wildered.

Dear You both could use some counseling, but he probably won't go, so I hope you will. You need to learn how to deal with your husband's punitive attitude toward sex. Actually, the stairs, the bathtub and the Jeep aren't nearly as serious as withholding lex as punishment. It is not abnormal to want a change in scenery. Dear Ann: My brother died recently.

I'm sorry now that we weren't closer. We lived in nearby cities but somehow our family and work commitments took priority over a letter or a phone call. I'd like to share the letter I wrote to my children and his, in the hope that they won't make the same mjstake we made: "Dear Ones: During this time of mourning there comes a pause for reflection, appraisal and regret. I regret that my brother and I did not accept each other as we were. I regret that we didn't help each other more, that we didn't share our feelings and our troubles.

I regret that we didn't make time for each other. These things I regret for myself. Yet, I believe I am not alone." Your column has assuaged many a hurt, Ann. I hope my personal experience will serve to strengthen your efforts. A.A.B., New Brunswick, N.J.

Dear A.A.B.: Of course it's too late to do anything about your "regrets," but writing that letter to your brother's children, and to yours, and sharing it with my millions of readers will surely cause others to reflect on their relationships with brothers and sisters. You will never know how much good you have done.
