Don't Overlook Chances to Win Extra Tricks Gain Slam
Bonuses

In duplicate, it is important to
watch for opportunities to win extra
tricks, since extra tricks win as many
top scores as game and slam bonuses.
This point is we'll illustrated by to-
days hand, which was sent to me
by Allan Clarke of Pittsburgh.
Declarer was SO anxious to take
out trumps that he won the open
ing lead in dummy and led the jack
of hearts. West refused to cover,
and when the jack held, another
heart was led for the finesse of the
queen. The other trump was picked
up, and the ten Of spades led. East
covered, and declarer was blocked.
He had to give up two diamond
tricks.
North should have won the open
ing lead in his own hand, and led
the jack of spades at once. Should
East cover, South would win, lead
the jack of hearts, and after taking
out trumps and cashing the king
and ten of spades, declarer could get

I think at last our hearts just fell
asleep,
- Tired of the masquerade we called
romance,
I think at last our eyes forgot to
weep
As we foreswore that final, futile
chance;
Drab 1t had grown :. the meet
ings in the park,
The little inns that we knew all
too well
And empty words could cause no
Grant spark
When really, there was nothing
left to tell.
Let the heart sleep-for there will
come a night
When breezes play their tribute to
the past
An ancient, golden moon will cast its
light
And wake us from our reyerie at
last
To learn the bitter, unrelenting
truth
That we have found our pride
and lost our youth!

Editorial
Each war begins where the last
one ends. The GROWING outrage
of the last war is only the opening
incident of the next one. From
sling-shot to arrow = from rifle to
siege gun man has saved his
strength by day to attack his
neighbor by night. He has poisoned
the wells against his drinking; he
has poisoned the air against his
breathing; and now he poisons the
news against his fair thinking. For
in the wars of the Twentieth Cen
tury, hatred is a military weapon
an internal struggle is military
objective. Race against race
creed against creed-is the grand
battle strategy. And, in this clash
an open heart is an open town.
But the fight against truth must
be a "blitzkrieg" For through
out the ages, the long answer to a
lie - is the truth; and the long
answer to hatred is faith. From
Alexander to Napoleon, history's
price to the transgressor remains
unchanged: The destruction of
your neighbours son mean the
slavery of your grandchild.

this: you are trying to become i'm
portant too hurriedly. Your articles
appear in too many publications the
same month. You can't be that
good. Readers will see your name
over a piece and say: oh, that fell

And then Woollcott opened a

the historian quoted The Little Cor
