South could duck that first
spade and make his contract
provided that East did not
hold both the ace ..and king of
clubs.”
By Oswald Jacoby
and Alan Son tag
Oswald: “Today’s hand
would probably be bid the
same way in almost any
bridge game and West would
open the five of spades."
Alan: "The normal play by
East would be the jack. Now
uswaid: Many South play-
ers would take the first spade
and go after clubs immediate-
ly Tnen, if West took the first
club and spades were contin-
ued, East would get to estab-
lish three spades while he still
retaned the club ace and
South would wind up one trick
short.”
Alan: "A really brilliant
East could make an unusual
play at trick one by playing
his nine of spades Then, when
West got in with his king of
clubs he could lead a second
spade to set up three spade
tricks for East while he still
held the ace of clubs "
Oswald: "This type of play
is rather dangerous in match
point play. If South holds the
king of clubs among his
souvenirs East, will never get
to cash any spade tricks and
declarer will make one extra
trick.”

Trunk smells musty
By Polly Cramer
POLLY'S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY - I would like to know how to get the
musty odor out of an antique trunk. Please help me. —
JANICE
DEAR JANICE — Fill some net bags with cedar
Shavian if they are obtainable at your local lumber
yardTif not, crumple newspapers and fill trank. Close
tightly and leave a couple of weeks. If any odor remains
repeat. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY - Goldie wanted to know how she could use
leftover, pre-cut latch hook yarn. I had some so 1 bought a
yard of latch hook canvas and made a rug that is worked in
squares. It is beautiful so I am now making another in a
design of stripes. — BONNIE
DEAR POLLY - When spring comes Goldie can put that
leftover yarn outside where the birds will pick it up for lining
their neats. — ETHEL
DEAR POLLY - One of the readers wrote that she was
having trouble with dampness in her closets. Make bags of
strong but lightweight material (I use an old slip and some T-
shirt material) and fill each of them with a commercial prod-
uct used in kitty’s box. I do not like to make the bags too heavy
- no more than a pound of the product in each one.
Sew shut and then place the bags on the closet floor and
*helf. They absorb the dampness and then I put them in the
i a while so they dry out. They can even be hung on the
' igs I have kept my bas
ir about 20 years. — BI
________ ___i has found a great way I
cos upright on his plate while he is filling them. He slides
_jt taco shells onto the prongs of a fork and can dress two at
one time. - DONNA
DEAR POLLY - When cooking greasy foods such a duck,
pork roasts, etc. and you do not have a wire rack use the rings
from canning jars. Also, they are easier to clean than a rack.

Dear Ann Landers. Eight
weeks ago my wife had her
appendix removed. "Ruth” is
47 years old and her general
health is very good but she can’t
seem to recover from the
surgery.
Everything was fine until two
weeks after the operation. She
began to feel punk, her stomach
aches constantly and she has no
pep.
My sister visited us last week
and told us about a friend who
had ulcer surgery. She suffered
for several months after the
operation, just like Ruth. The
woman became violently ill one
night, and the doctor did an
exploratory operation. He
discovered a sponge had been
left in her stomach.
Is this a one-in-a-million shot?
Could this possibly be Ruth’s
problem? Please reply. — B. In
The Bahamas
Dear B.: leaving a sponge
inside a patient is not a daily
occurance, but it happens more
than people think.
Thanks to Dr. Edward F.
Lewison, a distinguished cancer
surgeon at Johns Hopkins, it is
no longer necessary to perform
exploratory surgery to learn if a
sponge was left inside a> patient.
Shortly before World War II Dr.
I^wison came up with the idea
of weaving tiny metallic
threads in all surgical sponges.
The threads show up in X-ray.
So, a patient need not be
reopened. X-rays will make the
determination.
Dear Ann Landers: I realize
you must prepare your columns
several weeks in advance, so I
am getting my gripe to you
early. It’s a pain in the neck to
every lifeguard I know. Please
print this in time for Memorial
Day weekend.
The child abuse that takes
place at public pools is unreal.'
It is not unusual for parents to
leave pre-schoolers on a little
rubber raft in four feet of water

dive.

open at 1:00 p.m.) They are

would not believe how many
parents don’t come for their
children when a storm blows
up. They know we close the poo!

is lightning and thunder, but
they couldn’t care less. They
figure somebody will take care
of their kids. And, of course, the

leaving.” Ma says, “Shut up —

Nanny' is a computer
Electronic age moves
into infant's nursery
ByNIKKI FINKE
Associated Press Writer
LONDON (AP) - Four-
week-old Gemma Zawadski
has a computer for a nanny.
Instead of an apron and a
cozy lap, it has tape drives
and typewriter keys. Instead
of a nickname like Nana, it’s
called ORCA III. But it
soothes Gemma when she
cries, tells her a bedtime
story and will teach her
English, French and Ger-
man when she starts to talk.
“About the only thing it
can’t do is change the baby’s
nappies,” said Gemma’s
father, Richard Zawadski,
the 28-year-old computer
consultant who built ORCA
III.
ORCA III is more than just
a nanny. Zawadski has
programmed it to do
household chores as well -
turning on lights, opening
the garage door and guar-
ding the house against
burglars and thieves.
“Pretty soon I can just
ring up from work and have
it switch on the microwave
oven before I come home,”
he boasted.
Last November, for $6,600,
Zawadski bought the
American ITT 2020 home
computer to use in his
business and educational
work. The baby arrived on
Feb. 29.
“I think my daughter has
been born in an age when
technology is going to have a
bigger impact than ever
before,” said Zawadski. “I
wanted to introduce my
daughter to computers at an
early age.”
So he purchased several
pieces of hardware to ex-
pand the computer’s range
to include speech synthesis
and voice recognition. With
the help of his wife, who is an
engineer, he rewired their
home in St. Albans, outside
London, and rigged up a set
of microphones in the nur-
sery.
ORCA III, named after a
British science-fiction TV
show, sits in the utility room,
but its power extends
throughout the house.
Zawadski said he
programmed the computer
to switch on the instant the
baby begins to cry and to
talk back in a soothing tone
reproducing both his and his
wife's voice.
“If Gemma stirs in the
night, the computer will
react to the sound of her
voice and start talking to
her,” the father said.
ORCA III also is
programmed to make up its
own bedtime story, always
beginning with “Once upon a
time” and ending with
“They lived happily ever
after,” Zawadski said. The
plot is up to the computer’s
choosing from sample
stories fed into its memory.
Gemma is too young to
talk, but her nanny is ready.
ORCA III is programmed
for three languages —
English, French and Ger-
man — to teach her
vocabulary and correct
pronunciation.
Zawadski said he plans to
show his daughter how to
program ORCA III by the
time she starts school. But
he worries that if she gets too
good, she’ll use the computer
to play tricks on her parents.
But isn’t the computer
nanny too much like George
Orwell’s “1984?”
“You cannot replace a
parent's love and we don’t
intend to,” said Zawadski.
“But I can see it being a
great help on occasions.
“I'm sure anybody would
do it if they had the equip-
ment'”
