Culbertson System For Gin Rummy II A GAME OF GIN RUMMY. By JOSEPHINE CULBSBTSON. There are rules for playing Gin Rummy with three, four or more players; but these are little more than systems of scoring. The ac tual game of Gin Rummy is always two-handed, and if you know the two-handed game you can play without difficulty in any of the larger games.

The following record of a game will illustrate the -scoring procedure. You and your opponent cut for deal, and he cuts the low card and deals the. first After each of you has drawn and discarded a few times, you have the follow ing band: 6 6 6 (any suits) Spades Clubs 9 7 Diamonds Heart 2. Six of your cards are nsmtched. Your four unmatched cards total 19.

Then you draw the ten of spades. Now you can discard the nine of clubs and knock with an unmatched total of 10 a seven, a deuce and an ace (ace counts for one). The proper procedure is to make your discard face down, and rap on the table with your knuckles. Then you spread your hand, separating your matched sets from your unmatched, cards. The hand you spread must contain exactly ten cards.

You must be careful not to mis calculate and knock with a "count" of more than 10. If you do this, the game goes on, but you must play thereafter with all your caras exposed. When your opponent can see your hand he has a tremen dous advantage. Now. you have knocked, and your opponent shows this hand Heart 10 9 Spade 9 1 Club Diamond 8 6 Heart 4 3 His sequence in hearts does not count against him.

He lays off the nine of spades' on your se quence, and the six of diamonds on your three sixes. His unmatch ed cards now total 23. You had 10, so you win It points. On the next hand, you knock with 4. But your opponent also shows up with 4 and ties you.

For this he gets a 10 -point bonus. He scores 10 points and wins the second hand. You win the third hand by 16 points. At this stage your score sheet looks like this: You Opponent 13 10 29 Observe that while you won your second hand by only 18 points, in scoring it you put down the cumulative total. This practice permits you always to know how close you are to the 100-poInt game.

The next hand, you go gin, all of your cards being matched, and your opponent has 16 points in unmatched cards. You get 20 points for going gin, plus 16, win ning the hand by 38 points. On the next hand, your oppon ent beats you by 21 points. Then you win two hands in a row, by 14 points and by 27 points. This brings your total up to 106 ends the game: and You Opponent ir 10 29 31 65 106 I You have scored 79 points more than your opponent With your game bonus and your box bonuses added, the total you win is as follows: 73 Difference in scores 100 For winning game 60.

"Box" bonuses 235 Many players like to simplify the scoring by using the "unit sys Under the unit system, at the end of the game scored above, the final figure would be dropped from your 106 points and from your opponent's 31 points, so you would have 10 points to 3, and would win 7 points. Then you would add 10 points as your game bonus and 6 points as your box bonus. Your total winning would be 23 points. Some Gin Rummy games end In a draw. This happens when only two cards remain in the stock (the undealt portion of the deck) and neither player has knocked.

A player is not permitted to draw one of these last two cards. Instead, the players abandon their hands and a new hand is dealt. Tomorrow: When to Knock. In the third of this series of twelve articles explaining the Culbertson System of Gin Rummy, you are told when and why to knock. MRS.

operations and personalities" on the East Coast. By PRANK LOWE. Canadian Prcts Sue Wrtter. AN EAST COAST CANADIAN AIRPORT, Feb. 23.

Everything from a sallmaker's needle to an ocean-going vessel's anchor may be found in the repair and maintenance department of the Royal Canadian Air Force's marine section here. In huge, high sheds parked close to the waterllne, the department is housed, continually working on the many types of boats that make up the ocean-going arm of the R. CA.F. Here the boats are painted, re-planked, scraped, re-fitted. armed, have new engines installed and are generally kept sea-worthy.

Over In one corner is a sailmak- ing department where veterans of the art trained through long years of stitching canvas for the fishing fleets, wield their needles. In another part a skilled draughtsman draws his designs. In the centre of the workshops are the cradles made by the men on which rest the damaged boats. One, its side caved in by vicious wave-blows, is being mended. Another is having an engine re-tooled.

A third is having a machine gun fitted. the work is done by Air Force members, recruited by the marine section from ship-building plants from all over the country. They make less money here, prob ably, but they feel compensated for they are performing an essential task. There for instance, WO. 3 Ernest W.

Roberts, native of Gaspe, who has lived in Halifax for the last decade, a top-notch car penter now in charge of the wood working shop of the marine section. His Job Is to see that the boats are kept water-tight and, thanks to his 28 years of experience both on shore and afloat he does. In charge of pattern making Is a Scot with a genuine burr by name of Keith MacGregor, Renfrew, Ont, now making something over $1 a day with the Air Force when he has had offers from other shipbuilding concerns up to $7 a day. He has been designing and building boats for some time now, especially racing craft and has raced against such notables as Gar Wood, Jr. Has experience in that line of work comes in handy here, with the fast-moving torpedo boats.

Those two work in- a-mod-'ernly equipped shop shut off from the main department Beside them Is another separate shop where machinists experiment on the best motor boat engines man has devised. They put together, take them apart again and seem to be only really happy when a badly mangled specimen needs their loving care. Outside are stacked bales of rope, ranging from twine to hawsers measuring nine Inches in circumference. Spare engine parts line the walls in crates much of it obtained from the United SUtes under the Lend-Lease Act along with hospital equipment life rafts, nets, buoys and repair equipment In fact all the tools needed to keep a fleet floating are there, handled by men who know how to put them -to their most effective use.
