But aside from showmanship disposing Ofa King or even an Ace May at times be indispensable to Success. South in today s hand came up with a discard which was effect Ive As it was dramatic. South s opening bid of one no Trump with two double tons was perhaps a Little irregular but it did have certain compensating features. North made a mild Effort to Playa a suit contract but South went on in no Trump. North surrounded by Queens had no qualms about accepting the no Trump contract West opened the three of hearts which was taken in the closed hand. Since the Spade Sui must provide the bulk of the tricks Declarer went to work onit immediately by leading the Queen or a finesse. All hands ducked and he continued with the six of Spades. When West covered with the ten Declarer paused to reflect if West s original holding were the k-10-5, he would surely have covered the Queen when it was led. It therefore appeared that East had the King of Spades and was merely holding off in an at tempt to disrupt Declarer s communication with the Dummy. South accordingly went up with the Ace of Spades and when the King failed to drop he continued with the Deuce of. East won this trick Declarer let go the King of hearts from his hand establishing Dummy s Queen As the master card in that suit no matter which suit East returned it would establish an eventual entry to Dummy for Declarer had merely to let the Lead ride around to the Queen. A heart return would give South nine tricks and either a Diamond or dub shift would permit1 him to take 11. Ism.

In addition before entering the service 1 in civilian life for approximately eleven years the last which i was responsible for not Only my own support of my wife and the writer of the letter has had Little either in his civilian or military life and probably both As the saying goes been around some of the things has seen would not appear to him As being a part of the life Onty. Since he states that he has seen soldiers of abandon their religion it immediately came to mind As was his definition of religion. A person who really has never Abandons it he is. Probably thinking of the def religion As the practice of religious observances or such As the Pharisee praying loudly on the Corner. Inas Mij he states that he has seen these abandoning actions it sued that he Means the visible he had observed civilian life he would have to Ted especially in the smaller towns and titles Imit of theto Church and attend the Parloua Observance of their Faith just in order to conform and net to be different rest of their Community or their associates.

Next watch the local pillar of the Church he is away in the nig town. People who claim no whatsoever cannot compete with him for Loose morals and no. I am very afraid that those who claim to be religious they observe the forms thereof will discard those forms away from their native habitation the other hand those who have the religion that is in almost the same words in a the major religions of the As do unto others As you would have them do unto you abandon their Faith. They Are the ones who regardless of formal denomination or formal expression of Faith they a Hervi Are always doing the proper works and doing the same the necessity of letting their right hand know that which left hand is to character building i have always considered a character to be his manner of behaviour ingrained traits his moral Constitution. By the time a Man is drafted or in the army his character is formed. It is not for the to take the place of his Mother and father and try to makeover. Many a Young woman has tried the same and could not stand Why her marriage was a failure. If a Man has character when he enters the service there is nothing lit service or its regulations that will change it for the a elements always seek their natural level and environment the test of a Man is not what he does when he is ordered compelled to do it whether1 by Law or local custom but what does on his own that is where character snows up. Either Good or for i do not approve of the army character program in allot its phases yet h must be admitted that does supplement the formal work of the chaplains corp reaching those who do not attend formal services. Of course the chaplains worthy of their name that i have known As As the civilian religious leaders were constantly among. Troops and members and exerted great influence. A Soldier sincerely desires guidance from a chaplain of his particular can always be sure of finding one not too far from addition the letters and materials received from Hoo Eiton Home will Aid him in times of in a my Young Friend who wrote the letter i that if you would Check those whom you note a Aba their religion you will find that they had none to Start but Only conformed with the habits of their Community.
