unwillingness too normalize trade or diplomatic relations with Vietnam have thrown Vietnam into dependence on Soviet sup plies, says the Rev. William Herod, consultant of the interdenominational relief agency, Church World Service. Herod, who served in Vietnam four years before the 1975 U. evacuation and who has since visited the country, told a meeting of Church of the Brethren pastors that S. churches should work to keep the "doors open" to Vietnam.

He said they also should press for S. normalization of trade and diplomatic relations "so Vietnam is not forced to rely on the Ames DISCOUNT DEPARTMENT STORES FAMOUS FOR EVERYDAY LOW DISCOUNT PRICES Shop at Ames Store near you Salisbury, Md.

At trick one South had risen with dummy's jack of hearts. East had played the deuce and South had overtaken dummy's jack with his own king. South had to knock out the ace of diamonds and he wanted his opponents to lead another heart. Unfortunately for South, West was an alert and suspicious player. He had counted points and cards when he saw dummy.

There were just 20 points for South and East. South needed 16 for his notrump. East could not have more than four. If he had four it would surely be an ace. If it were the ace of clubs declarer was going to make a lot of tricks.

If it were the ace of spades, declarer was going to be in for a shock. West led a spade and wisely picked the only one that could lead to four spade tricks. He led the king. A second spade went to East's ace and the jack-nine took the next two. By the way, South's heart false card might well have boomeranged.

East's play of the deuce had indicated that he, East, held only three hearts.

He has worked in agency for the past 18 years. begin with the social security administration it is usually blamed when mistakes occur, he added. One of the most serious problems facing the federal agency is the increasing incidence of social security fraud cases, he said.

"It seems, when unemployment is high the fraud cases increase, simply because it's a way for people to get money, Adkins remarked. But ultimately system of investigations these frauds are uncovered." The Salisbury office, he siad, has handled a number of fraud cases during the past several years. Most cases involve people who have falsified information to receive federal funds they're not entitled to, Adkins pointed out. When not on the job, Adkins is involved In numerous church and community activities. He holds memberships in Allen Memorial Baptist Church, Salsibury Kiwanis Club, Wicomico Council of Social Services and is on the board of directors of the Wicomico Teen Adult Center's Foundation and the Room In The Inn.

During the past several years, Adkins said he has realized the importance of physical fitness and now regularly jogs and exercises. Another favorite activity for him has been to play softball on his church's team in the Wicomico County Church League. "The first softball I ever played was about four years ago. I never had time when I was younger because I worked all through my high school and college years," he mentioned. He also enjoys reading, music, traveling and "being with the family" during his spare time.
