FmHA joins
new district
Farmers Home Administration
offices in Sulphur Springs and in
Cooper are now part of District 6,
FmHA officials stated in a news
release.
The district office is in Mount
Pleasant.
Recent restructuring of FmHA
offices in the state has made it
necassary to make a number of
changes in the district and county
headquarter offices serving various
counties, J. Lynn Futch, FmHA
state director at Ibmple, said.
The FmHA District Office in
Sherman jurisdiction has been shif-
ted to three adjacent district offices.
The county office units under the
Sherman District Office supervi-
sion have been assigned to district
offices having common border
areas.
Changing the jurisdiction of the
county office will not affect indi-
vidual loan customers with FmHA,
Futch added. They are serviced by
the county office personnel at the
present county headquarters.
The Fanners Home Administra-
tion is a rural credit agency of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. It
makes loans available to fanners
and other rural and small town
people and groups of people, in-
cluding local government, unable
to secure credit elsewhere.
Loam are made for housing,
agriculture purposes aid for a vari-
ety of community facilities. In addi-
tion, FmHA, under some cir-
cumstances, may guarantee repay-
ment of housing, ’aim, and busi-
ness and industry loans made by
private lenders. ^

Making
assumptions
By James Jacoby
After East's diamond overcall,
North downgraded his diamond king
but still raised to three hearts. Since
South had stretched to bid two hearts.
he was happy to settle for a part-
score. This deal demonstrates how the
level of the contract affects the proper
play in the trump suit. The normal
percentage play is to finesse, hoping
for West to have the queen. That is
right because West might hold A-Q-2,
in which case playing the king will
lose a trick. Today’s South went set be-
cause he played the jack of hearts and
let it ride. The defenders made two di-
amond tricks, two heart tricks and
eventually the king of spades. Was
there a reason declarer should do
better?
Needing only nine tricks, declarer
will always succeed when the spade
king is with West. He should therefore
assume East holds that card and then
try to locate the key trump cards on
that basis. The question declarer
should ask is: If East holds the spade
king, the diamond A-Q, and either the
heart ace or a void in the heart suit,
would he not bid four diamonds rather
than allow South to play in three
hearts? Very likely. And so declarer
should play West for the ace of hearts
by going up with dummy’s king, drop-
ping East's queen. But what if South’s
contract were four hearts? Now he
needs the king of spades to be onside,
so he should play for East to hold the
heart ace rather than the spade king.
That’s why on this deal the level of the
contract guides the declarer’s play.

READ. PSALM 65
CURSING THE SUN
He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good.
-^Matthew 5:45
How often we focus on our difficulties rather than on
our blessings! We complain about our trials when we
should be praising the Lord for His providential good-
ness and care.
I read about a group of people in a remote, uncivi-
lized area of the world. Daily they gathered at high
noon to curse the sun. They did this because of the
heat it radiated and the discomfort they felt. The arti-
cle stated, “Did not that people forget that to the sun
they cursed they were indebted for light, for food, for
the fertility of their country, for ten thousand blessings,
without which continued existence would be impossi-
ble? Did they think what their condition would have
been had the sun they cursed left the ungrateful com-
plainers for a month in darkness? Its absence- for but
half that time would have made them pray for its
return as their benefactor, as heartily even as they
cursed it as their tormentor.’
It's easy to criticize such people for their ignorance.
But we are often just like them when we complain to
the Lord. Instead, we should (even in times of severest
adversity) thank Him for all He doesjQrj^.
Mindful of God’s loving providence, may we never
be guilty of “cursing the sun." Rather, let’s bless the
Lord every day. — R.W.D.
When you have truly thanked your God
For every blessing sent,
So little time will then remain
To murmur or lament —Anon.
IF YOU DON'T COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS,
YOU'LL JUST ADO TO YOUR PROBLEMS.
