SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM

Many persons are what we term "good double-dummy players" In oth0r words, if they have oppor- tunity to see all four hands, they can tell you how the game should be played. But when they are the declarer and can see only their own cards and those of the dummy, they will fail to make even the simplest plays.
 Watch the drop of the cards try to locate the missing high cards, and you will be able to play the hand in double dummy fashion, as did William Parsons of the Yale School of Law.
 Parsons, analysing the hand, said, "In a case of law, you have to look for the points in your favor and then work on them." And that was true in this particular hand. An early play located the ace of clubs for him, so he went to work on that point.

Lack of sufficient personnel is given
as one reason for the decisions. In

members of the departments to sell
tickets. There has been objection to
this in past years. even though the
receipts go to the benefit Of widows
and orphans of members of the de-

We simply can't spare the men or

He added that the Districts econ
