By A. LEOKUM George Fox, born in 1624 in England, was the founder of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers. Although he never went to Fox did learn to read and write. He worked for a shoemaker for a short time. When George Fox was 19 he felt inspired with a call to seek out the truth.

lie left his job and began a wandering life. For four years he visited clergymen, seeking truth and peace of mind. His own beliefs began to form. These beliefs were in plain, living and repentance of sins, with the Spirit of God within as a guiding light. Fox preached around the countryside.

He always dressed in plain, grey clothes an(l a broad brimmed black ha." His missionary work took him to the West Noj-th America, and Hoi-' land. JJIany people considered his beliefs to be wicked. They thought his opinions religious customs were very Fox was often at--tadkep and beaten by mobs. Hot was put in jail eight tinjes, but he never complained.

It cannot. In fact, the best chess-playing computer is somewhat better than the average player about 1700-strength but is far from the Master level. The 1700-strength represents little improvement over the past 10 years, despite the efforts of many programmers. In theory, a computer could play a perfect game of chess. The possibilities in chess arc finite, and therefore calculable.

But although the possibilities are finite, they arc so large that it would take the fastest computer billions of years just to play them out. Even so, a computer calculates faster than a human; why can't a computer beat us at chess? Though our poor brains are slow, they are more sophisticated than a computer. Our brains are prejudiced towards practicality. In a decision situation, we stand a good chance to HI (Of Cz1 BRIDGE By JEAN FLINT. Most players have by now become familiar with the 1 major variations in the new Laws of Duplicate, but one such law continues to produce mystified stares and questioning faces the one concerning a bid out of rotation.

The left hand opponent of the player who bids out of turn how has the right to accept the bid as legal, and carry on the auction from that point. His partner may -not consult or comment the decision is entirely his. The ruling also applies to an insufficient bid (in or out of rotation) out of which some strange auctions can certainly occur. For example, South 6S, West 1C, North (accepting the one club bid) ID this becomes a legal The director, of course, should always be- called to-give the ruling. Hopefully the ruling will seem a little less strange after the above ex- planation.

Radio highlights for Canada enjoyed a colorful St. Valentine's Day in 1879 when Parliament was opened by Governor General the Marquis of Lome with HIS WIFE. Princess Louise also present. They were not only a devoted couple but adventurous and exciting. Alberta Louise was a daughter of Queen Victoria.

The province of Alberta was named for her and, of course. Lake Louise. She in turn gave Regina its name. When Pile o' Bones was Wade the capital of the Northwest Territories it had to have a more dignified name. The settlers wanted to c.H- ot' Victoria, after the tincen.

but Victoria was al ready the capital of British Columbia. So Princess" Iimisc suggested "Regina" the latin word for queen. Princess Louise also visited British Columbia with her husband in 1882. They travelled by ship as the railway had not been completed. Their visit was supposed to last two wjeeks but they stayed for three months.

Princess Louise was so popular that Premier Beaven suggested that British-. Colombia should become separate kingdom and Princess Ljouiso be the queen. Lord Lome was a poet and ajman of action. He wrote the lavely hymn "Unto the hills aVound do I lift up my longing eyes." He saw a great deal of Canada in days when travelling was difficult. In 1881 he made a trip from Portage la Prairie (the railway had besn, completed to there) to ln Rockies in a wagon.

Therefore the brain has developed a fantastic aptitude for summing up situations. A chess player can recognize over 10,000 patterns on the board. Most positions will fit one of the recognized patterns; the player will know what type of move is good, so he will have to do little calculation. Since we don't really understand how the human brain sums things up, it is difficult to program a computer to do the same.

That's why computer programmers arc interested in such a "frivolous" subject as chess: they can try to build a model of human -thought patterns with a ready-made test of their success how strongly the computer plays.

In Europe most postage stamps' featured or portrayed rulers or coats-of-arms, probably for good reasons. Most European countries had monarchs (1895) and few had indigenous animals that could not be found in other European countries. Norway was an exception with a brown bear on local stamps, but they were not valid for general postal use. Spain had opportunities to use the Spanish ibex. Surveying what has been done in Stamp Zoology among the British dependencies we find North Borneo and Labuan have featured several animals, but the crocodile, a stag and pheasant of North Borneo are not characteristic of the country.

Labuan issued the same siamps overprinted for the island. Pahang, Perak and other native states on the Malay Peninsula featured tiger designs in 1892-5, but the Royal Bengal tiger would have been more appropriate on the stamps of India.

In British North America, Newfoundland issued stamps in 1866 with a seal and a codfish on two stamps. In 1887 Newfoundland added the head of the well known colonial dog to postage stamps. South Australia combined portraiture and a kangaroo on March 1. 1894 with a stamp portraying Queen Victoria in a frame at the left and a kangaroo and a palm tree at the right.
