IL had been expected that some change would be made in the non or count, but this was ieft un- touched, as follows:
 Four honors-at Il sult--heid in one hand, 100 points.
 Five honors-at a suit heid III one hand, 150 points.
 The change that will undoubted- , ly receive the greatest amount or criticism is the one made in the grand slam bonuses which arc as Grand Slam Formerly Now Not vulnerable 1000 150O vuinerable 1500 2250
 The smal slam bonuses remain tho same as follows:
 small slam Formerly Now Not vulnerable 500 0OO Vulnerable 7b0 .l Ioy
 It is quite true that few grand slarns are successfully bid, and, or course, not all of them are maae. This particular bonus will not adapt itself to duplicate play, as the sacrifice bidder will be Wilnns eto 20 down seven or eight tricks to stop . grand slam by the oppo- nents.
 The objection that the rubber or money bridge player has to oHer is that you can sit down TOT an em- tire evening, play very fine cards actually outplaying your opponents nv winning four out of fivc rub berg from them. Finally, on the last rubber, the opponents, who are vulnerable, arc dealt all or the high cards and they bid Tor a sprn ud ain m
 Generally there is little or no pIay to the making of a grand slam .-they spread their hand, receiving such a dargc award that 1t com pIeteiy wipes out all of the points that you have gained by good play throughout the entire evening.
 However, thero is this much to be said in favor of the declarer risking a sure small slam for q doubtful grand slam are about even.
 For example, suppose that you were positive that you could make n small slam vulnerable. With you trick score, game bonus and the small slam bonus. this would be worth approximately lb0O points. Tn the past, in order to bid for grand slam. 1t was neces- sary to risk this sure 1b00 points to try to win an additional doubt fui 76O points. but now as the grand slam bonus has been in- creased 750 points. you risk 1b0O points to try to win 1b00 more points.
 The experienced tournament player has felt that the move should have been towards requc- ing the slam bonuses rather than increasing them.
 Rubber premiums remain as fol- lows:
 Three-game rubber. 500 points.
 Two-game rubber, 700 points.
 However. where a rubber ends by arransement before either side has won two games, the side which has won one game adds 300 points to their score. This is an increase Of 100 points over the old bonus. (Copyright 1D32,, NEA Service Incl

CHAS. f. REED HAS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

On Saturday evening, Dec. 26, $50
guests assembled ut the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Reed, on
the Campbell Farm" near Slaugh-
ter Beach, to celebrate his lst birth
day.
So skilfully had the hostess plan
ned the affair, that the party was in
deed a surprise to Mr.. Reed, this
adding much to the spirit of jay and
gladness that pervaded the evening.
Rollicking happy songs, inter-
spersed with laughter and humorous
readings, gay Christmas poems, and
bowers of holly bespoke the spirit
of good will and best wishes-but
not quite so much as did the gospel
hymns where every voice mingled
in real Yuletide thanks for bounteous
blessings of the season.
Mrs. Reed, with her two sisters,
Mrs. Mary Belts and Mrs. Anna Rey-
nolds, of Milton, and her brother,
Myers Dodd, sang, "Oh, for a Tohu-
sand Tongues to Sing My Great Re-
deemer's Praises" and so heartfelt
was the spell of the old hymn that
it seemed real benedictiOn.
Twas more than a year ago that
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed had their home
and furniture burned, to be replaced
by handsome modern brick house,
spectacularly beautiful in its setting
an darchitecture.
The inside is a work of art, for
every piece of furniture is lovely in
int and quality, massive fireplace,
rugs, sparkling lights and
Christmas holly made it a real fairy
and.
A mammoth cake with birthday
candles added to the delicious home /:
made cakes, with abundance of ice
;ream, made the festival complete.
Charles E. Reed has the best wish
IS of friends and neighbOrs, who
lOpe for him a long, useful life.
