East opened the six of hearts and West played the queen. What should North do, and why? He reasofs that East is most likely leading from a five or six-card suit and with holding of eight diamonds in his own and dummy's hand that he will have to finesse the jack of diamonds to West.
 Assuming the breaks" are against him, he will figure that West holds the queen of dia- monds and will then be in a po- sition to lead through the hearts. Therefore he permits West to hold the first heart trick with the queen, thus giving his opponents an opportunity of making mistake.
 However. if East is as canny as North he can block North's ef- fort. With no re-entry. East should allow North in turn to hold the second heart trick. If West had no more hearts. Blasts refusal 10 win the second heart trick may mean the sacrifice of one trick. but if West holds another heart. EastS refusal to win the second trick would stop game if West can get in to lead the heart again

One would think if the South Dakota Leg isature had the correct slant that the World would have been very profitable publication

BLACK DISCUSSES
 THE B|G HIGH WAY

Hon. George Black, speaker of the Canadian House of Ccni- mons, was elected chairman of the joint Canadian-American Alaska Highway Committee at the first formal meeting held in Victoria a few days ago, ac- cording to press reports from the British Columbia capital. Following a meeting of the committee, Speaker Black de- clared that the engineering feasibility of a road to Alaska has been completely dcmolA strated by data already gath cred and indicated that while no decision on this point had been reached, a route leaving the British Columbia highway system in the vicinity of Hazel ton and running straight north to the Yukon boundary was favored.
 "A road already running across the Yukon could be re- paired and used for a trunk highway at a cost of some S5,- 000,000, it was estimated" the Speaker said.
 'This road, if built" he em- phasized, would be built as special scheme and would not be allowed to interfere in any way with the general road program of British Columbia. Nor will it be allowed to en- barass the treasury of the province.
 'The road would benefit ev- cry part of the province by drawing thousands of tourists across ports of entry from Vic toria to the Alberta frontier, would lead to settlement, at tract capital to our resources and open up a territory highly mineralized and offering the best game hunting in Ameri- ca," he declared.
 ITO the south of us are 120,- 100000 people with 80 per cent of the automobiles in the world," he continued. "The opening of this road would bring them north" The Speak CT added that "this road will be built sometime, but just when it is impossible now to predict.
