The season's first inajor snowstonn brought hazardous driving conditions in much of Ohio and caused accidents that resulted in the deaths of seven people, including four members of one family. The slippery roads Tuesday also were responsible for a series of crashes that led to the closing of Interstate 7() through most of Licking County in central Ohio east of Columbus. The State Highway Patrol said a Dayton couple and their 20month-old twin boys died in a two-car crash on 1-70 east of Cambridge in Guernsey County about 3:50 p.m. The victims were Anthony M. Silvio, 32, the driver; his 36-year-old wife, Sheilah, and the twins, Mario and Marco. Dispatcher Danny Crawford of the patrol's Cambridge post said their westbound car skidded on the snow-rovered road, crossed the median strip and struck an eastbound car driven by David J. Taylor, 26, of Memphis, Tenn., who was not injured. The Silvios all were pronounced dead at .lhe scene. The, Cambridge pcist al$o investigated a fatal crash on 1-77 south of Caldwell in.Noble County. Harold Darling, 47, of Parkersburg, W.Va., · was killed when his car slid on the snow-covered road and was hit by a truck, Crawford said. , The truck driver, Ste)l~n R.

Troopers from the patrol's Swanton post in northwest Ohio said Juan Contreres, 72, of Tamazula, Mexico died when the car he was riding in spun out of control on the Ohio Turnpike near Wauseon in Fulton County. Trooper Brett Mealer said the car, driven by Contreres' son-in-law, was traveling too fast for road conditions and struck a guardrail. Contreres was thrown from the vehicle.

At the urging and support of America's hunters, state game agencies were created and hunting seasons enacted to regulate the harvest of wildlife and ban the hunting of animals for the purpose of sale. In 1937, the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937) was created at the request of sportsmen. The act created an excise tax on sporting rifles, shotguns, ammunition and other hunting · equipment, with the proceeds ear· marked for wildlife conservation projects. It also has been used to purchase, protect and fund management for millions of acres of critical wildlife habitat. In 1900, wild turkey were extinct in Ohio, and whitetail deer were practically extinct. For f110St of the century, the only wild turkey Ohio's residents could find was on a bottle of bourbon. Now the birds are a common sight in southeastern Ohio and in most other parts of the state. "In 1956, wild turkeys were reintroduced into Ohio," said Carol Wells, Division of Wildlife spokeswoman. Those early efforts, using farmraised birds, weren't very successful: Most of the birds died in the wild. Later, Ohio traded Missouri and Kentucky for wild turkeys and introduced them into Vinton County.

By JIM FREEMAN Sentinel News Stiff POMEROY Imagine an America where wild animals are almost non-existent; hunted to the brink of extinction and driven from their habitat. This isn't some environmentalist's nightmare vision of the future. · This was the United States at the dawn of the 1900s. '' The comeback of the wild turkey and other native wildlife, including the whitetail deer, is considered the conservation success story of the century, and sportsmen's groups and state wildlife agencies credit sportsmen for bringing the species back. Actually, many species of North American big game animals teetered on the brink on extinction, and conservation was hardly more than a concept, reports the South Carolinabased National Wild Turkey Federation. American bison, for example, numbered fewer than 1,000, and the wild turkey population hovered around 30,000. Unregulated market hunting and destruction of habitat reduced whitetail deer, waterfowl, pronghorn antelope, elk and other animal populations to near extincti.on. One of the starkest illustrations of the times was the North American wild turkey, which had disappeared from 18 of the 39 states that were part of its historical range by the turn of the 20th century, the NWTF reports. . Today, wildlife biologists estimate more than 5 million wild turkeys roam the fields and forests of North America- more than half its pre-Columbian estimate of 10 million birds - making it perhaps the greatest conservation success story of the century. The NWTF ultimately credits j may occur.

The proposal, to be announced by the White House today, would give vouchers to 120,000 poor households to help meet the rent. The program is aimed at families earning more money that those who traditionally qualify for federal housing grants, as well as the very poor. The White House says that some poor families sometimes must move to find work - since about two-thirds of new jobs are in the generally more affluent suburbs. The vouchers- which can be used wherever a landlord will accept them - are meant to help them find housing in their new neighborhoods. "The need for affordable housing is higher than ever - 5.3 million American families need affordable housing" but cannot find it, Cuomo said. Cuomo said the proposal will be part of Clinton's budget proposal for fiscal 2001. That budget plan is due on Capitol Hill early next year. Cult leader's release, explosions have Japan jittery TOKYO- A charismatic leader oft he Aum Shinri Kyo cult was freed from prison today and vowed to resume his place in the doomsdaypreaching group that five years ago attempted to hasten Armageddon with a nerve gas attack on Tokyo's subways. The release comes amid jitters in Japan over a year-end wave of attacks involving other fringe religious groups and a series of fires and explosions linked to ultraleftist radicals. Fumihiro Joyu is one of the highest-ranking members of Aum and one of its only leaders not charged with a role in the 1995 subway gassing. With virtually all of the cult's former leaders, including guru Shoko Asahara, still either on trial or in prison, Joyu was expected to fill a leadership vacuum within what remains a shadowy- and potentially powerful- group. " It's extremely frightening," said Kanako Kumamoto, a 24-year-old shop clerk in Tokyo. "I'm very worried the group will return to its previous terrorist activities." , Attesting to the heightened concern, more than 100 police were deployed around Hiroshima. Joyu, who flew to Tokyo immediately after leaving prison, did not talk with the media but issued a written statement confirming his plans to rejoin the cult. Without its Y2K party, is Emerald City being a wet blanket? SEATTLE - Their party over even before it began, disappointed would-be revelers are scrambling for other options now that the city has canceled its New Year's Eve bash beneath the Space Needle. "I think it 's sad they're just going to give in" to fears of terrorism, said 15-year-old Terra Finnell, who had planned to attend the celebralion with family and friends. Mayor Paul Schell defended his decision to end the city's evening celebrations, and insisted that Seattle hasn't caved in to threats of terrorism. "This is already an unprecedented, unpredictable New Year's, and we did not want to take chances with public safety, no matter how remote the threat might seem," Schell said Tuesday. There has been no specific terrorist threai against Seattle or anywhere else in the nation for the New Year's weekend, according to the Justice Department. Afternoon concerts in Seattle will proceed as planned, but the 75-acre Seattle Center grounds will be cleared and the gates locked at 6 p.m .. canceling rock performances, dancing, art exhibits and other festivities. Y2K more than just . a computer bug in Southeast Asia BANGKOK, Thailand - Boonsri Harttalay runs a beach bungalow resort on Ko Ngai island, one hour's boat ride off the coast of southern Thailand. She won't be answering the telephone over the New Year. She's afraid of catching Y2K. Like many people in remote parts of Thailand and its poorer neigh· bors, Cambodia and Myanmar, she's still in the dark about the millenni· urn bug and what it really means if computer chaos strikes Saturday at the start of 2000. "My sister warned me not to pick up the phone on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 · because I can catch germs traveling through the line," said Boonsri, who is prepared to lose a little tourist business as a result. "Better to be on the safe side. I've also heard we might not see the sun or the moon on those two days. " Y2K causes as much concern in poor parts of the world as it does in richer countries- where doomsayers foresee airplanes plummeting from the skies if old computer programs misread 2000 for 1900 and malfunction. In parts of developing Southeast Asia, where there are fewer computers, many are being misled as high-tech anxieties get translated through · the rumor mill into more traditional tales of terror. Updated 'Fantasia' gets huge-screen treatment at I max theaters LOS ANGELES -The updated version of Disney's animated classic "Fantasia" is coming to the really big screen, but not necessarily at a the· ater near you . . "Fantasia/2000" opens on New Year's Day for a four-month run at 75 · large-screen Imax theaters around the world. But people in big cities such as Boston, Detroit or Ponland, Ore., will have a long drive if they want to see the movie before it opens in regular theaters later in the year. While most large U.S. cities have an !max theater, many are at science centers or educational institutions that were unable or unwilling to agree to Disney's insistence that they show nothing but "Fantasia/2000" for four months. Di~ney decided if it was going to update the 1940 original, which was an animation landmark but a commercial flop in its day, it wanted a spe· cia! way to showc~se a film that was particularly close to Walt Disney's heart. Imax theaters have giant screens up to 80 feet high and superior sound systems. · Rapper Combs faces weapons charge, denies wrongdoing NEW YORK - Rapper-producer Sean "Puffy" Combs has been released on bail after spending a day behind bars for weapons possession in the wake of a shooting at a Times Square dance club. Combs was arrested Monday after police allegedly found a stolen pistol in his car as he and actress-singer Jennifer Lopez left Club NY where two men and a woman were wounded in the 2 a.m. shooting. "I do not own a gun," a weary Combs told reporters after being arraigned on weapons charges late Monday. "I do not carry a gun. The charges and allegations against me are 100 percent false." Combs was released on $10,000 bail and ordered back in coun on Feb. 14. Lopez was also arrested, but prosecutors dropped charges against her "based on the evaluation of the evidence," said Wayne Brison, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Moore, TV's 'Lone Ranger', dies at85 By DAVID GERMAIN AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES - Though he appeared in about 70 films, actor Clayton Moore lived and breathed one role in particular: a masked hero who taught millions of children that the good guys were brave, honest and always wore a white hat. Starring on TV as the "Lone Ranger" during the 1950s, Moore grew to transcend the role, making public appear· ances for decades in costume to espouse Moore the character's moral code of justice and democracy. "The Lone Ranger is a great character, a great American. Playing him made me a better person," Moore said in a 1986 interview with The Associated Press. "When I go, I want them to say, 'Who was that masked man?"' The actor whose battle cry was "Hi-yo, Silver," and whose theme music was the driving "William Tell Overture," died of a heart attack Tuesday. He was 85. "My father was an incredibly humble man who was honored to have portrayed this amazing charac~ ter," Moore's daughter, Dawn Moore Gerrity, said Tuesday. "He constantly strove to live up to the finest tenets of the Lone Ranger, knowing he influenced children worldwide. He held his fans ' Bill requiring gun ·storage introduced COLUMBUS (AP) - Parents who stored guns in such a way that children could access them would be punished under a bin introduced Tuesday in the Ohio House. "This statute is to address the casual, everyday storage of a firearm when an adult is not present," said state Rep. Ann Womer Benjamin, RAurora. "We're trying to make the firearm owner think a little harder about how a firearm is left around." The bill would charge adults with a misdemeanor - up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine- if a child accessed an improperly stored gun and a felony- up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine - if access to the gun resulted in injury.or death. The bill exempts individuals from prosecution if the gun was in a locked box, someplace where "a reasonable person" would believe it was safe, or stored with a trigger or gun lock. Known as a safe storage, law, the legislation was one of Gov. Bob Taft's campaign issues in 1998 and one of the few items on his agenda not accomplished during his first year in office. Taft cited the report of a 10-year· old Columbus boy shot with a hand· gun belonging to a friend's father Monday when he announced the bill. "This new law will help prevent this type of senseless tragedy by holding parents and guardians responsible for storing their firearms safely," Taft said in a news release. Attempts to pass similar legisla· tion earlier this fall failed when Senate Republicans kept it out of a juvenile crime-bill for fear that a safe stor· age amendment would attract an amendment allowing Ohioans to carry concealed weapons. . . , supports conceal carry' R-Vrbana, legislation,who has · Rep.

House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, R-Reynoldsburg, who opposes conceal carry, said she'll wait and see what happens with Benjamin's bill before addressing the possibility of a conceal carry amendment. • love and loyalty very close to his heart." A pioneer of the early TV western, Moore starred in "The Lone Ranger" from 1949-52 and 1954-57, crusading against villains on his horse Silver, his Indian companion Tonto at his side. The character was born as a radio hero in the 1930s. Moore was cast as the masked man when the show moved .to television, with Jay Silverheels co-starring as Tonto. Silverheels died in 1979. Moore starred in most of "The. Lone Ranger" episodes, though John Hart played the part for two seasons when Moore left the show over a contract dispute. Into the 1980s, Moore would speak to children in his white hat, powder blue shirt and pants, gun belt with silver bullets and twin holsters, red bandana and boots. He even waged a five-year court battle to continue wearing the Ranger 's trademark black mask when the company that owned the rights to the character wanted to hand the role to a new actor. Why a good guy would wear a mask was explained in the show's first episode: The Lone Ranger disguised himself because he was the only survivor of a group of Texas Rangers ambushed by a gang of desperadoes. After Tonto found him and ntirsed him back to health , he don11cd the mask to protect himself from his enemies and the two roamed the West in search of bad guys. As he 'd ride into the sunset each week after rescuing the innocent from the evil, one of those he 'd saved wotrld invariably ask: "Who was that masked man?" Fans loved the series' trade· marks, from the rousing opening theme music to that closing line to the sillier bullet calling cards to Tonto's nickname for the Ranger, "kemo sa be." At public appearances, Moore lectured to children against guns, drugs, alcohol, smoking and foul language. Moore liked to say that the character embodied the creed that "everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world." William R. Powell Parker Matthew Haggy "He embodied the idealized vision of what people thought the West was about," said James Not· tage, chief curator of the Autry· Museum of Western Heritage.

ROCKLAND, Del, (AP) - It seemed to speak of total desperation: a husband and wife allegedly abandon their 10-year-old son in his wheelchair at a hospital, with a note say ing they can't care for him anyrnore. But prosecutors say one ofthe accused parents is the head of a $500 million-a-year chemical company. Richard Kelso, 62, and his wife, Dawn, 45, offered no explanation as they were arraigned on one count each of child abandonment and conspiracy. The couple was freed on bail Tue~day after a night in jail. " It's clearly not a matter of money," said New Castle County police Lt. Vincent Kowal, adding the Kelsos left matching BMWs parked outside the stlllion following their arrest. Calls to the couple's home went unanswered. Police said the Kelsos left their son; Steven, in his wheelchair Sunday at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, which has been treating him for many years.

Our view: Itoblem Commerce Community should prepare for the next Wai-Mart Supercenter While merchants and consumers in Gallipolis have grown accustomed to Wal-Mart's monolithic presence, shoppers and businesses in Meigs and Mason counties who depend on the local retail economy for the bread on their tables and the roofs over their heads will soon have a similar store in their own back yards. Ask shoppers, and most are excited about the new Wal -Mart Supercenter, which will open early next year on the Mason end of the Pomeroy/Mason Bridge. Ask those folks who lined up for hours and were rewarded with jobs at the store, and they're pretty happy, too. Ask merchants, and they're less enthusiastic. TheY, should be. Wai-Mart's reputation- perhap5 a bit unfairly so - precedes itself. Wal-Mart has a famous record of being run out of town before it arrives. In the effort to stop the "invasion," community group5 arm themselves with nightmarish stories of downtown shopping areas being obliterated by the retail giant. Wal-Mart's founder, Sam Walton, in his book, "Made in America," may have said it best when he said shoppers should have the opportunity to go where the dollar leads them, and that nobody owes a local business their patronage for old times' sake. After all, Wai-Mart started out on Main Street, too. Maybe there 's nothing to worry about, and business might be better in downtown Pomeroy and Middleport than expected. A recent seminar, organized by the Meigs Chamber of Commerce, "Competing with Wal-Mart," was attended by a mere eight people- and only one was a retail merchant. The seminar was free, it was held "after hours," and it was well promoted, so the lack of attendance by those most likely affected by Wai-Mart's arrival can only be interpreted as ambivalence. If the scores of others whose businesses will be affected had attended the meeting, they would have heard good news and bad: Some businesses can flourish, while others likely will close. The bottom line? Treat your custome·rs well, keep your stores open when people are ready to shop, and offer a quality of product and customer service that can only be provided by neighborhood business people. If these are foreign concepts to some businesses, those merchants are going to be in big trouble, because Wai-Mart offers the ultimate convenience of 24-hour shopping, its employees are lined up at the door with helpful hands extended and perpetual smiles, and its shelves are stocked to the rafters. How, then, can you blame anyone for wanting to shop there? Is there more to shopping than convenience and price? To their credit, merchants in Pomeroy have made what was once a depressing shopping area a charming, clean and appealing one. Many merchants and their staffs are exceedingly friendly, helpful and accommodating, and virtually all are eager to help local schools, churches and other institutions when they need help. And so, there is hope for local retailers - and the newspaper, which depends on local retailers for revenue. (Wai-Mart rarely advertises in local newspapers.) In fact, Perry Varnadoe noted the Wai-Mart stores in Ripley, W.Va., and Jackson, Ohio, probably have caused all of the damage lo our local retail economy that can be done, and that we can benefit from the increased traffic flow. But still, it seems our local business community is in a state of denial, and if they are not armed with the philosophies and tactics that have made a Main Street dimestore into a retailing giant, there likely will be more empty storefronts in town. We hope local merchants will IX: ready for Wai-Mart's coming, and we hope local shoppers will patronize both their favorite local shops and. the new supercenter. We can have both. We must have both. Maybe there's nothing to worry about, and business might be better in downtown Pomeroy and Middleport than expected.

And this is the least it will do. · Communist China, whose politics the world - with the United States in the lead- has attempted to change through commerce, continues its military buildup. The country's entrenched authoritarians will once again prove to the world that 'while democracy leads to capitalism, capitalism was able to thrive under fascist regimes in Germany, Italy and Spain. So China will continue to flex its muscles and conlinue its expansion. But it will do so in the military tradition of bypassing strongpoints such as South Korea, Taiwan, India, Vietnam and Russia. Similarly it will ignore nations such as Thailand that have strong international political connections. Such logic, it will be remembered, led to China's invasion of Tibet. Myanmar (previously Burma) is controlled by a corruP! military dictatorship. 'Even more significant is its role as the leading drug center in what is known as the Golden Triangle, and its primary customers are drug users in China. So it has become a nation without friends and one very powerful enemy, and when that enemy finally makes its move the world will do what it did when Tibet w.as overrun: object and do nothing. While drugs would be China's excuse for invasion, the real reason Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio Ann says: Fight for child support - Charles W. Govey Publisher R. Shawn Lawla Managing Editor Wtdneaday, Dece.,.ber 29, 169 would be geography. Occupation of Myanmar at the head of the Bay of Bengal would give China an Indian Ocean presence and a near presence to the strategically important Strait of Malacca- the Panama Canal of the Orient. One of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, the strait links the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. As China continues to build its navy, including force-projecling aircraft carriers, strategic naval points such as the chokehold Strait of Malacca will become increasingly important, both to that nation and to a fearful world. Meanwhile, to the north lies another target. Mongolia, which once ruled China, eventually became a province or China and remained so into the 20th century, when revolution and communism brought it into the 'Soviet ~phere. With the fall of the Soviet Union, Mpngolia became a republic. Isolat- . ed, backward and weak, Mongolia, like Tibet, will simply present an easy target for an aggressive neighbor. · Occupying an area nearly the size of France, Germany, Spain and Italy combined, Mongolia will feed the Chinese appetite for its version of manifest destiny in which land will be sought for the sake of land, rather . lhan peace for the sake of peace.

VARIETIES Pepsi Cubes Celebrated dancer hikes over 2,000 miles on Appalachian Trail NIMBLEWILL, Ga. (AP) - On a warm spring day, former New York City Ballet principal Jacques d' Amboise swapped his d\lllcing shoes for hiking boots to spread the gospel of dance along the Appalachian Trail. He calculated the distance from Maine to Georgia at 5,694,480 steps, vowing to cover it just the •way he teaches dance - "slep by step. " He planned to use television appearances and entries in an Internet journal to gamer atten\ion, publicity and contributions along the way. Now, seven months, 14 states and 2, 157 miles later, d' Amboise has reached the end of his journey at the summit of Springer Mountain in north Georgia .. Before he celebrated by dancing a jig and downing a glass of champagne, the 65-year-old d'Amboise kissed the tarnished plaque embedded in the rock that marks the trail's end. ' 'I'm thrilled and excited,, he said. "I'm just kinda in awe that so many people have come together to help me make this happen." It w~s hi s childhood dream to hike the entire . length of the Appalachian Trail. But the purpose of the trek was to raise money for the nonprofit National Dance Institute, which d' Amboise founded in New York City 23 years ago. Along the way, d' Am boise made more than 40 stops at schools, community centers - even a prison in Vermont - to teach a knee-slapping, foot-stamping jig he calls the "Trail Dance. '' He created the Trail Dance after coming up with a melody and lyrics that tap memories of his mother's French-Canadian lullabies. He ended up with a lively, easy;to-learn jig set to a marching beat. D' Am boise has taught the Trail Dance to about some 10,000 children and raised about $500,000. His goal is to raise $1 million within the next year. With matching contributions from corporations, he hopes to bring the total to $10 million to $15 million.

Road crews are putting up temporary stop s1gns at busy intersections, and amateur radio operators are being lined up m case systems break down as the n~w millennium arrives. As the countdown to Y2K speeds up, state and local officials are wrapping up last-minute details. Temporary stop signs- now oovered in plastic- have been put up in case traffic lights malfunction. If drivers come to a broken down signal, they should approach it as a four-way stop. " We felt that the ordinary driver might not recall that," Tim Uoyd, project engineer for the Erie County Highway Department, said Tuesday. The department put up portable signs at four of its intersections. Sandusky City Manager Gerald Lechner said lawyers advised him that placing stop signs at intersections would increase the city's liability if there was an accident. Y2K worries involve computers, microchips and software that use only the last two digits of the year and could take the digits "()()" to mean 1900 instead of 2000.

While some Y2K-fearing consumers are snapping up baby formula, electric generators and sleeping bawl. most aren 't purchasing a thing or just stockmg up on basics, such as water and batteries. "We have not seen our customers hit the panic button," said Don Harrison, spokesman for Home Depot. As the calendar changes, there have been ooncems that computers will m1sread 2000 as 1900 and disruptions will occur- from electricity failures to disabled ATM machines. But businesses and government agencies have worked to ensut:e their computer systems are Y2K ready. Most e•perts now say outages will be less severe than Jnilially feared. As a resul~ most Americans are making minimal preparations. "I think more people are worried about the inconveniences t~ Y2K problems may bring; rather than if they will survive it," said Oay Parnell, with retail consultmg firm Kurt Salmon Associates. - The Pentagon is shutting down some of its public Internet sites this weekend to keep them safe from computer hackers. While it intends to keep its central Web site - www.DefenseLink.mil - in operation, one site being temporarily blocked is that of the Defense Finance and Accounting Secvice, which oversees military pay. - Also being taken off line th1s weekend is the site maintained by the Office of Personnel Management, which services the rest of the government payroll. -Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala said people are not hoarding pharmaceuticals, so there won't be any shortages of medicine over New Year's.

"It was a great effort by our team, and I'm very, very proud of them," he said. · Paterno, acceptmg the Alamo Bowl trophy, thanked Sandusky. After more than 30 years as an assistant to Paterno and 23 years as defensive coordmator, the 55-yearold Sandusky is retmng. Sandusky coached nlne All-Americans and was instrumental in getting Penn State known as "Linebacker U." "I'm happy for them," Sandusky said after Penn State managed tis first shutout this season. "This 1s the best defens1ve team with the worst breaks, so I'm happy for them. As far as I'm concerned, 1t's been a fatllastic ride. I told them that today - th1s is for you guys." Next season, Penn State Will have a new defensive coordinator. Arrington said he will decide soon whether to turn pro or remam for his semor year.

He loved life and was always the first onto the dance floor after a major bridge championship. He enjoyed talking with anyone and had a great sense of humor. In the Blue Team, he partnered Walter Avarelli, using their home· grown Roman Club system. After the retirement of the Blue Team, Belladonna formed a powerful parlncrship with Benito Garozzo. (When asked if he read much, Belladonna replied, "Benito's systems and conventions! ") And when Garozzo moved to America, he enjoyed considerable success with Pietro Forquer. At the bridge table, Belladonna produced many wonderful coups. This deal, though, just required good technique tied 10 pessimism. How would you plnn the play . in four spades after West leads a club·' North's bid of three spades was a limit raise, inviting game. · Mosl players would take one heart and two diamond finesses , then complain about their bad luck when all lost and there was a trump loser 10 boot. Belladonna worked out how to make the contract regardless. After winning with the cluh queen, he cashed the spade king and led a spade to dummy 's ace. Resisting the temptation to take a diamond finesse , Belladonna played off his other two club tricks. discarding the heart I 0 from · the dummy. Then he led a heart to Ihe ace, and followed with the heart queen. East won with the king and switched to a diamond, but Belladonna finessed the I0, endp laying Wesl, who had either to return a diamond away from his king or to concede a ruff-and-discard. froM. 1\lf.
