and Mr.. Becker looked with barely
concealed dismay at the meager
dummy. Apparently he would have
to play either for doubleton queen
of clubs or, possibly, for singleton
nine or ten of clubs on his right. He
was not particularly satisfied with
a grand-slam contract which de-
pended on lucky distribution coupled
with a good guess.
But before trying for such a club
break, he led trump to his ace.
and dropped the jack from the West
hand. Next he laid down the dia-
mond ace and ruffed his low dia-
mond with dummy's nine. Easts
spade discard was bit surprising.
South led three more rounds OF
trump, dummy discarding two clubs,
The top diamonds allowed dummy
to discard another club and spade;
but East found himself in deep
water BY this time he was down
to three clubs and the spade king
queen. If he discarded a spade,
dummy would get in with a high
club, and South would ruff a spade
TO set up dummy'S spade ten.
East therefore discarded club,
but then dummy's high clubs drop
ped the queen: after which South
took the last two tricks with the
last trump and the club jack.

Prisoners Freed
To Work Farms
Don't All Stay

Five out of approximately 20
prisoners released by Judge James
r. Duncan of Alexandria Police
Court to 60 to work on farms have
returned to the city and have been
arrested again.
Judge Duncan said he was not at
all discouraged by this percentage as
he expected it to be even higher.
He said that if a third of the short
term offenders released actually
went to work on the farms he would
consider the experiment success.
Most of the men whose sentences
were supended about six weeks ago
were serving terms for drunkenness
or vagrancy. The suspension of the
sentences will be revoked if they
are seen in Alexandria and cannot
prove that they have farm jobs.
Judge Duncan said that the court
has no means of making a periodic
check on the men.
Other men whose records justify
release and who agree to take farm
jobs will get suspended sentences,
Judge Duncan said.
He believes that employment of
these men, under supervision
wherever possible, will prove a help
in relieving the shortage of farm
labor.
