CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank all the many friends who remembered me with gifts and cards during my confinement in the hospital. They were greatly appreciated. Mrs. Ann Street 37 Lookout Point, Wondfer Lake MINERAL PRODUCTION Raw material production in Illinois during 1955, with an estimated value of $568,000,000 broke all former yearly records, surpassing by about one million dollars the previous high mark set in 1948. The 1955 total exceeded the half billion dollar mark for the sixth consecutive year. This showing is set forth in a year end report issued by the state geological survey. Oil and coal accounted for more than two-thirds of the value of the ate^fimineral production, the report shows. Increasing demand on the part of factories and electric power stations helped to bring about an upward trend in the value of coal produced in 1955, reversing a down trend of the past several years. Illinois is the fourth state in coal production, exceeded only by West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

Calypso, of course, is the exciting n ' e W c a r d game which comes to us from Trinidad by way of London w h e r e . i t s c o r e d a t r e m e n dous success with English card players. A partnership game designed for four players, Calypso is the first card game to provide each player with his own personal trump suit and is played with four decks of cards shuffled together to form one large pack. Nov/ making its appearance with more frequency on the card tables of America, Calypso, according to many of the experts, may become the greatest news in card games since Canasta swept the country a few years ago. Along with the rising popularity of Calypso is the increasing use of the word "chicane." Not to be confused with "chicanery," which the dictionary-defines as trickery, "chicane" is ai word that our forefathers used often while playing Whist, the 300-year-old card game that is often called the grandfather of Bridge, Auction, Contract and other trump games of the partnership family. Chicane is the rarely-used Bridge- Whist expression for a hand withi out trumps, although most modern Bridge players have never heard of the term and are more likely to use such expressions as "void" and "I've drawn a blank" in its stead. In Calypso, however, which one expert has called the first really new card game since Whist, "chicanes" are apt to occur frequently and with spectacular effect on the outcome. For example, since all four packs are shuffled together as one, you as the Spade player may pick up a hand absolutely devoid of Spades. «But if Spades is your trump and you lead it no matter how low the card, you take the trick unless one of the other three players can't follow suit and takes the trick with his personal trump. That's Calypso! Although it may sound complicated, experts say it is one of the easiest games to learn and play. Calypso can be played with any four complete packs or there are special Calypso sets on the market which contain ^xtra equipment. Free rules for playing this exciting new card game may be obtained by sending a card or letter to Calypso, c/o Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17.
