promised series of articles dec 7 hi has chosen freedom of thought there s nothing new in arg tt rg for freedom of thought tb onlj new part is that now it has come to the secondary tcoool level since the point has been won on the university cam pus but lets not get too hasty in mr flight to utopia i dun t know what mr blaney is going to suggest ntxt if h means by freedom nf thought the develop ment of ercativo thinking then three cheers but mr blaney and all the others arguing in the same ve n must real ze that before an a rpiane can take off it seeds a runwiy the basic facts tajght in the primary and sec ondary levels of our educational process arc the runway from which our flights of free thought tae of befcc you cin do anv creative thinking you have to have some basic knowledge while that is true it is also true that the crisis of adjust men to university life has in large measure been caused in the past by the total lack of any development of creative think ng at the secondary school level it s not too great an ex aggeration to compare what used to go on in high schools to the programming of computers th straight feeding in of ficts as a basis for decision making the trouble is that people aren t computers tnoy have to learn to make decisions and making them intelligently and ceativcly is a difficult thing to irarn carrying hen out is still more diff cult the hippie gen rration with its great love for freedom of though has made some cry good and some not so good judgemental decisions ab out society but 1 hasn t dis ct verrd now to put them into action fr cdom of thought isn t reallv the utopia that it seem in his first article however jtfr blancy docsn t seem tu be arguing for creatine thinking but simplj for frccdoifrin thin king thats what turns most people off when you mention hippie thinking there are two sices to the coin of freedom anil the flip side reads responsibil it it s not enough to think freclv you must also think re sponsibly for while mr bla ney argues eloquently for res ponsible action by society to maintain freedom of thought he does not argue for responsible thinking by too tree thinkers to think responsibly you must have full command of the facts of the situation as well as the possibilities arising out of it and the place where you learn the facts is the primarysecond arj school system it s all fine and good to know that univer sity students gain the facts from private study in libraries but most of the high school students i know haven t jet matured to the stage of seekng out the farts for themselves unless thev re given a particular re search assignment nor should we push them into thii we ought to give child ren the time and opportunity to be children and the lam ap plies for teenagers when we pus minlal and phytlcvl dovel opment upon them bo nuth why shouldn t they think they re also emotionally mature enough to be married at seventeen or to handle alcohol at sixteen why shouldnt they be browned on with their parents and the way the ve handled the world when we push them into think ing that they can do anything mr blaney is at an import ant stage in the development of his thinking and i for one hope that he continues it but 1 hope that he will temper hu demands with responsibility and not ask for anything that at the people whose champion he is setting himself up as cannot responsibly handle we ve got the freedom to think anything that wc want but not to do any thing that wc want for society has long realized that for the benefit of all concerned it is better to limit the actions of all

as who threw the chowder in mrs murphy s overalls but there s one thing i will admit humblv 1 can t get christmas trees to stand up straight they don t just lean wee bit you can remedy that with shims

could not find six points to keep thjetbidding open since the trump king was off side the declarer played the ace of trump and then the queen and went down to defeat when west was in with the trump king he simply led an other spade east discarded and south had to ruff now east had one more trump than declarer and took the setting trick when declarer wins the third rick he should do one of two things either enter dummy with the diamond king and lead a trump for a finesse or if con vinced that west has the king lead the trump queen from his hind the reason is simple dummy has two trump one must be kept temporarily to ruff spa des if west wins the first trump lead and leads a spade it can be ruffed in dummy if east over ruffs so can- declarer the trump could he split 33 in that case west might refuse ihe first lead declarer can then round if it should turn out that west has four trump to king then all we can say is that de clarer did the best he could in all cases declarer must lose
