BY VIM. e. MCKINNEY
Secretary, American Contract

I am still harping on the old
principle of counting your tricks be-
fore you play to the first one. Harry
Fishbein of New York, recent win
ner Of the world championship
masters pair event, gave me today's
hand, which is fine demonstra-
ton of the importantance of count
ing.
Dummy played low on the
opening spade lead, and declarer
ruffed. Now, how are we going
to make 10 tricks? We certainly
do not want to start the diamond

In 1889 the club was founded by
Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson Abbott and
for some time a small group gath
cred regularly at meetings. Under
the careful guidance of officers who
gave untiringly of their time and
energy, the club advanced in its
aims and endeavors and the men,
bership increased at rapid pace.
Being one of the early clubs it did
not gain prominence until later
years and it was not until 1889 that
the State Federation of Women's
clubs was formed and the General
Federation was not organized until
1891. The local club was incor-
porated in 1915.
The first meetings of the Water
bury club were held in the parlors
of the First Congregational church,
the Second Congregational church
and the First Methodist church
and at a later date the members
gathered for their regular meetings
at Temple hall when the member
ship grew in large numbers.
Mrs. J. Henry Morrow, serving
from 1889 to 1890 was the first
president of the aterbury
Women's club and guided the des-
tiny of the club during the early
days of its formation.
On October LIST 1929 the beautiful
new club house on Central avenue
which is the present location, was
opened starting new era of pro-
gress for the club.
The Women's Club engages In
many branches of endeavor which
aid in the civic and social welfare
of the community. One of the many
and most important undertakings Of
the club has been the Naturalization
classes which they conducted up tc
last year. In these groups foreign
born mothers were instructed by
teachers in the customs and laws Of
America so that they might secure
their citizenship papers and become
intelligent residents of the city.
