*** The bidding is not important, al- though South's correct jump to four spades over one diamond is worth noting. The only point with which we are concerned is the fulfilment | of the four spade contract.
West opens the diamond deuce
(fourth highest of his partner's bid suit); East wins with the ace and returns the diamond queen. West's declarer follow-sult play reassures against the possibility of a diamond ruff, and now, with no heart losers and only one club that must later be conceded, declarer's entire problem boils down to the best handling of the trump suit.
Obviously, no trump lead (or any other) can be made from dummy to

RESCUE OF A
Some wars are fought by armies alone: others by the united will of a whole nation.Then every man, woman and child is a potential hero or heroine. A people whose spirit is unconquerable will produce deeds of gal- Lantry which seem scarce- ly credible to those look- ing on.

Here are some samples such deeds, chosen from among soldiers, air- men and civilians, WELL-DESERVED D.S.O.
An astounding rescue of cool daring has just won the hero of it the Distinguished Service Or- der. Lieut. R. H. Ker- shaw, No. 3 Squadron, South African Air Force, was piloting a Hurricane, one of a flight engaged on attacking the Italian aerodrome at Diredawa. In the face of strong A.A. fire the attack was highly successful, ten enemy aeroplanes being destroy- ed on the ground and many more seriously damaged.

Sadly the other pilots of his Squadron watched him land, realising that he would be taken pri- soner. But one, Lieut. Kershaw, determined to rescue him. The Flight Commander describes what happened next.
"I was just going to set fire to my machine and run into the bush when I noticed one of the pilots of my flight circling around and firing at enemy troops to keep them away from me. I never dreamed he would land, for anti-aircraft guns were firing at him continuously.

For sheer persistance in at- tack, the story of another South African pilot of the same Squadron, Capt. S. F. S. Theron, is remarkable. One day in March he shot down an enemy aircraft near Dagha- bur. Later in the same day the Italians attacked Dagha- bur aerodrome heavily, Licut, Theron bugged two of the C.R. 42's that came over.
Two days later, came the attack on the Italian nero- drome at Diredawa described in the rescue story above. This time Capt. Theron shot down another C.R. 42 and destroyed four Savoin bombers on the ground.
For these devastating at- tacks during which he des- troyed eight enemy planes he

The highest civilian award, the George Cross, has gone to n Fire Brigade officer of Bir- mingham, William Mosedale.
One night there was an in- tense air attack on the city, lasting for over twelve hours, An Auxiliary Fire Station was completely demolished by a heavy calibre high explosive and many Firemen were trup- ped, and civilians in an ad- joining house buried.
Fireman Mosedale immedi- ately began tunnelling and propping operations. He was quite oblivious of the bombs raining down outside, the vibrations of which alone". might easily have caused the wreckage to give way and crush him to death.

Another type of gallantry, peculiar to his service of heal- ing, was shown by a Royal Army Medical Corps officer at Sidl Barrani.
During the battle for this town, Lieut. James Morton Muir, M.B. was severely
wounded in the shoulder and pelvis by shell splinters which hit the regimental aid post car. In spite of his wounds, he insisted on being propped up against the side of his car in a sitting position, refusing an injection of morphia so that his senses might remain clear for the work he had to do.
For about eight hours, al- immense though suffering pain, he continued to sit there giving direction as to the care
of each wounded comrade who was brought to the post for treatment.
At last loss of blood made it impossible for him to sit up any longer and he was laid down, but even then he went on giving directions and ad- vice until the last wounded man had been evacuated. Only then did he consent to be placed in the ambulanco himself. His courage and un- selfishness "saved many lives

He did this with great dif- ficulty and again entered the control room. There he found five men. One was dead, but the others only injured, He. administered oxygen to them.......... and rescue workers entering the funnel after him carried them out to the fresh air above.
The entrance to the cellar of the private house was blocked. Mosedale directed operations for removing the debris, only to find that the cellar had collapsed. He took over himself, and by means of more delicate tunnelling work reached seven people, four of whom were still alive. Again he administered life- giving oxygen and extricated them.
Finally he tackled the cellar under the fire station, tunnel- ling as before. There he saved the lives of four men who also were given oxygen and removed to safety.
