The Bridge -Player's Dream .
Sgt. Russell, RAY., Port Al-
bert, while playing bridge in a,
Goder-ich home $of a- recent even-
ing, got the thrill of 'his young
life when he dealt himself thir-
teen,., -hearts.' With 'difficulty he
suppressed , his surprise and bid
seven. The player to left doub-
led,' the next two, passed, and the
Sgt. redoubled and nonchalant -
laid his hand on .the table.
There they were thirteen 'hearts
—dealt out of 'a pack thoroughly
shuffled and 'cut. Sgt. Russell
said he had experienced many 'a
thrill in his flying career, but
never one just like what the 13-
heart bridge hand brought ' him.

"THE RAMBLER"
Mushroom industry 'is not un-
common during war tune, but
the remarkable thing about it is
how 'rapidly a plant may come
into production. Recently 'it was
the privilege of the writer' to visit
a coastal town where such an in-
dustry is now flourishing. One is
quite familiar with hearingof
production figures running into.
the thousands of units through
the efforts of zealous .bands of
workmen all seeking to swell the'
war effort. However in this case
the figures are reversed, thous=
ands of workmen have produced
products which still can be count-
ed with a single figure, yet this
is an accomplishment of which
the laborers can be proud. Their
product is of vital importance
to our war effort and -is a grand
example of how man can adjust
himself to the needsof the hour.
From the window •f m:.' .

other occasions seen pictures," of
such events, bath in ---the .press
and 'on the screen. but here was
'my chance to see the real thing..
Fortunately having made the
acquaintance of some of the local
celebrities it Was an easy matter
to gain 'admittance to a 'ringside
position. Wearing the King's uni-
form of course wa's evidence that
all were in the common cause *and
thus we were accorded due con-
sideration. It was quite a treat,
while waiting for the hour sche-
duled, to see the thousands of
men and women working on the
various boats under construction.
One could not but marvel at
the co-ordinated effort which
made possible such a piece of
1 workmanship. Although this day,
a new hull` was . to take to .the
sea th a were also 'others in,

in the' morning did^'` r,• r 'to
their homes but stuck around the
nearby park awaiting' the zero

hundreds of them, and it was
evidence that something unusual
was about to take place. My cur-

investigatewhat it was 'all about
and .I ' learned that a four thous -
The tide was in and the water
was as high as it would be while
still the sun was shining so an
with the show. The big hull wag
mounted on skids which were
greased with many tons of grease
for the occasion. ' Above these
were ° innumerable blocks 'on
which' the hull proper rested.
Towering down ' the sides were
the stocks, like a giant forest,.
which cradled the ship. This en-
tire understructure had been pre-
pared long in advance for the
event ,which was about to take
place. Naturally this sloped to the
water's edge where delivery was
to be, made. 7 had expected to see
cables or wires which by some
magic would disappear at. the
critical moment. But never a one
was to be seen. The master mind
behind the scenes -had a trick -up
his sleeve. He knew of two little
blocks about rnidships that held
the .key to the situation and
everything under .control For a
ship not in motion the 'blocks'
could do the trick -otherwise they
wouldn't have been as useful
as a match. ,
