with one entry to what seemed like
an entryless dummy. His correct
ruff of the second heart trick with
the club 10, as well as the drop of
the opponents trumps in two
rounds, made the club 6 an en-
trance to dummy.
After cashing the diamonds A,
K and q, he went over to dummy
with trump and cashed his thir-
teenth diamond, on which he dis
carded a spade. His good fortune
held out to the extent of the spade
finesse working for him, with the
result that the slam was made.

Winning Contract.
By THE FOUR ACES.

THE other day We were discussing
certain well-known player who
has competed in tournaments for Sev-
eral years. While this player does re-
markably we'll at tournament bridge
when match-point scoring is used. his
record at rubber bridge is poor and we
were wondering whether he is one of
those rare persons known as bad
holders" This person bids we'll and is
also an excellent card player, both rs
declarer and on defense He makes
few mistakes and throws very few
points-and yet there Is something
missing. Upon exhaustive analysis we
concluded that his errors are usually
those Of omission, lie, failing to take
decisive action when action is called
for. For instance, he was North in
today's hand.
East, dealer
Neither side vulnerable.
East-West 40 on score.
North-South so on score.

After West bid two hearts North
passed In his usual do-nothing manner
He expected to beat two hearts and
hoped that the bidding would end
there. However, he neglected the pos
sibility that his partner might defend
and certainly South's three club bid
cannot be criticized. North undoubt-
edly should have doubled two hearts
for three definite reasons: Cd Since
A'iS oPROllCilCo WCAC fO OIl SCOIC, he
would not be doubling them into game:
(2) there was fine chance of beating
either two-heart contract or a
rescue to three diamonds; 90 to stop
his partner from making a defensive
bid that would surely be doubled.
Vests opening diamond lead was
won by East, who returned a small
spade. Declarer put on the king and
proceeded to play trumps West held
of until the third round, then took his
king and led another diamond. A
third round of diamonds gave West an
overruff in trumps and he then cashed
his ace Of hearts. Declarer now held
only black cards, and when West led
the nine of spades, East ducked. fie-
uring that declarer would then have
to concede two more tricks to his ace
jack This was . nice play, but de-
clarer was equal to the occasion. He
refused to be end-played and allowed
the nine to win the trick And now
West had to lead heart and declarer,s
two remaining spades were discarded.
Declarer's loss was only 200 points, but
he actually should have made a profit
If North had doubled two hearts.

Weather This Month Warmest
I And Driest On Record In Ashe

This month has been the prettiest,
driest, and warmest October on rec
ord since the establishment of a
weather bureau in Ashe county, Joe
Worth reported this week.
Today is the 10th. and no rainfall
has been recorded at all. The last
downpour took place on Sept. %
and 30, when nearly one-half inch
of waterfall was registered.
Monday, believe-it-or-not, t h G
temperature was officially recorded
in Jefferson by Mr.. Worth at 81,
which was as high as the mercury
climbed any day last summer. The
night before the thermometer drop
ped to 81 and climbed up the next
day to 81, which is also unusual.
AS result of this drought, many
of the streams in this section are
drying up and the water supply in
both West jefferson and Jefferson
has been dangerous low. The local

town fathers stopped filing stations
from washing cars several days ago
and during the day time most Of the
homes report that they are unable
to get any water. The springs on
the mountain have been gradually
drying up and unless a rainfall is
forthcoming Tin the2nearsf future, the
situation may become extremely
critical.
Farmers have. also been severe
ly damaged by the drought. Grass
in pastures has dried up and it has
been difficult for them to sow any
small grain.
Levern johnson, manager Of the
cheese plant here, reports that milk
production is now off about one
third.
Indian summer has certainly been
reigning supreme so far this month
and the mountains are perhaps more
beautiful now than ever before.
