ADVERTISING STILL HAS A JOB

Advertising is part OF the American
system Of communication between
men, part Of the channels by which
they explain to one another the inter
workings Of q complex economy.
Advertising still has its job to do,
though in many lines production may
be limited, and soIes problems ore
smplfied os demond approaches and
posses production. Industry, and oil
the men and women who make and dis
tribute the goods by which we all live,
still have something to soy to the mass
Of the people. To explain the reasons
for price changes, for changes Of ma
teriols and models; to guide the con-
sumner through the changes in buying
habits that come in q period Of emer-
gency-these ore still detectives thot
cannot be fully achieved without odver-

and now declarer knocks out the
ace Of diamonds. South leads an
other small club and West Is
forced to Jump up with his Sec
ord honor. Declarer now cashes
his diamonds, discarding q spade
from dummy.
South has to make two dis
cards. The first one Is easy-the
five of spades-but then he has
a problem. To discard a heart
will allow the declarer to run
four heart tricks. To let 60 a
club will permit decarer to run
off his three heart tricks and
then toss South In with a spade,
forcing him to lead q spade.
Therefore. the only play that
South can intelligently make is
to discard his ace of clubs. and
the play is mot too difficult.
North Is known TO have the ten
Of clubs from his opening lead
Of the jack. The play defeats the
contract, as North and South will
make two clubs. two spades and
the ace Of diamonds.
II South makes the mistake of
winning the first club with the
ace, or even the second round Of
clubs, the diamond suit will kill
HIM. After he lets 60 the five Of
spades. he has to part with his
club or his heart stopper. Any
discard will allow the declarer
70 establish the ninth trick.
