A major development is beginning to unfold at the Terre Haute Bridge Center as for the second time in the past two weeks a team of relatively new players from the free Sunday afternoon bridge class have placed first in the Tuesday evening Virtual Club Game. These students, who learned the 2 over 1 bidding method from instructor James “Sonny” Kirtley, seem to be challenging the older guard of much more traditional and experienced players. It will be interesting to see if these couple of wins are a fluke or the beginning of a trend.

Our ancestors were plagued by high rates of infant mortality. Last week I described a genealogical study that found (1) when the infant mortality rate in society was high and the deceased infant was newborn under a month in age, he/she was less likely to be named; and (2) about half the time the gender of the unnamed dead infant would not be recorded. This week will continue with the topic of infant mortality.

You should be making plans now, if you haven’t already, to get your pet spayed or neutered. According to the Humane Society of the United States, thousands and thousands of kittens and puppies are born everyday. Between 6 and 8 million dogs (25% of these are purebred) and cats are placed into shelters every year, and 3 to 4 million of these are euthanized. This is the obvious consequence of uncontrolled breeding thus turning local humane shelters into warehouses that are forced to euthanize animals one after another. These living, breathing creatures are considered “throwaways” when it becomes inconvenient. Not to mention the millions of tax dollars spent trying to cope with the overpopulation of pets.

Infant mortality. As I’ve been working on various cemetery projects for the WVGS Cemetery Committee, trying to find unmarked burials through funeral home and obituary information, I’m struck by how many dead infants and children there were in the past, and how many of them were unnamed.
