Church Notes

Next October the Connecticut Conference of Congregational and Christian churches will meet with Second Church in Waterbury. The First Church of Waterbury has kindly consented to join with us as hosts. This will be the first meet ing of the conference under the new Constitution adopted at the meeting in New Haven this past week. Judge Arthur F. Ells Of Litchfield, well-known and highly esteemed by all of us, will be the moderator. Owing to the fact that the. new Constitution provides for increased numbers of voting dele gates as representatives of its churches, it is likely that this con ference will be the largest thus far in our Congregational history.
 Davenport Hall in the Second Congregational church will be opened on the afternoon and even ing of eDcember for the purpose of having a community exchange bureau. On that occasion, all peo- pie, both women and men, in Wa terbury and vicinity, who have any thing they wish to sell or anything to dispose of may bring their arti- cles to the church with their name and address and the price marked plainly upon each article. Second church will merely sponsor the sale. This opportunity is open to men and women of all creeds and nationalities and it is hoped that through this sale, may who are now in need of small funds will be able to obtain them.
 At the last meeting of the stand ing committee, it was suggested that we have a Midnight Commun- ion Service on Sunday evening, December 31, the last day of the old year. Plans are under way to- ward that end. On that occasion it will be possible for any who may be interested in uniting with our fellowship to join our ranks.

Solution, to Previous Contract Problem

Contract Problem
 It appears, when looking at all the cards in today's hand. that the declarer cannot make seven odd. However, the hand presents very interesting playing problem.
 Personally, I do not approve of the bidding. With South's hand I would open with a Sims three bid, which shows that the hand must be played in the suit first named and asks partner to show either the ace of trump or his highest ace.
 Not having that, North must re- spond with three no trump. South then would bid four hearts. This definitely asks for the king of hearts. North, having the king of hearts, would answer with five hearts.
 South then would bid six spades and North. due to the fact that his partner had asked for the king of hearts, and that in addition he held five hearts to the king-queen, might risk the contract of seven. However, he would be jeopardizing the contract, if his partner hap peAss to have singleton in one of the off suits. I think the final con- tract should be six spades.
 The Play
 Against the seven spade contract.

the queen of clubs was opened and the declarer won with the ace. He then led three rounds of trump, picking up the outstanding trump.
 We know that West did not hold the ace of diamonds-otherwise he would have led it against slam contract We also know that, if the heart suit will break. there Is going to be no trouble in making the contract.
 The wise declarer will prepare for the worst break. His only hope is to find the four hearts in the West hand and to find West with the king of diamonds. He already is marked with the jack of clubs; therefore, the declarer's next play should be a small heart. to dunn my's king.

from dummy and you can rest as- sured that East wil lhop in with the ac, of diamonds, trying to set the contract. The declarer then
 will trump and run off his spades. . Now he has perfect squeeze on the West hand. West cannot pro tect the king of diamonds, the four hearts to the jack and tke jack of clubs all at the same time. So whichever he lets go produces the needed extra trick for the declarer.
