Tournament bridge activities 1n Canada, which ceased during the war, are now being revived. George LEsperance and Emile Beausolen, of Montreal, recently won the Prov ince of Quebec open pairs and fln- ished second in the mems pairs. Todays hand was played in the open pair event.
 LEsperance realized that East and West were attempting to take sacrifice against their heart game contract. The five-heart stop was good bidding, and the play was excellent. When East's opening lead held the first trick, he shifted to club and Beausoleil won with the jack. A small heart was led to the king and a heart returned to the ace. Realizing that his only chance to make the contract was to find West with a singleton diamond, Beausoleil cashed the ace of dia- monds and then led clubs. West tried to avoid the end-play by re- fusing to trump, but he was finally thrown in by trump lead. He had nothing to return but spades. and Beausoleil was able to discard his losing diamond and trump in dummy.

The Army Knows AM The Answers--Any Questions?

o. Are many soldiers returning with amnesia? How are they cared for? P. S., Beverly.
 A. No soldier who might have de- veloped amneSia would be released by an Army hospital until he had recovered. When serviceman de- pelopS mental condition, he re- ceives the most careful attention possible. If he is discharged from military service before complete re- covery, he is placed in a Veterans Administration hospital where he is given special care. Mental patients in Army hospitals may re- ceive visitors. There are few am- nesia cases.
 Q. How much mastering out pay does soldier with years service get? Does time affect the pay? M. T., Bedford.
 A. Total mastering pay variest from $100 to $500. $100 if less than 50 days honorable service in the U. S. (few exceptions); and $500 if oyer 60 days honorable ser T'jce and soldier served overseas or in Alaska.
 Q, May I wear my sons dis charge button? O. K, Burlington.
 A No, only honorably discharged military personnel are entitled to wear the lapel button for service.
 Q. I was discharged in May of this year after three years ser vice. I have disability incurred in the service but am not receiving a pension. Am I entitled to any educational benefits as a veteran? I am now 25 years of age.
 R. E., Providence.
 A. Yes, you are entitled to as many months of school as you spent in service plus one year. if you were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable This is one of the benefits open to veterans under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Such educational benefits shall not exceed four years. It is possible that you are eligible for vocational rehabili- tation if you have questionable dis ability even though you did not claim a pension. It would be wise to check with a Veterans Admin istration office.
 Q. My husband was discharged from the Army in October of this year. He took out $5,000 in Ma lional Service Life Insurance when he enlisted in 1943. Will it be necessary for him to convert it to a life policy right away? Can he convert it to a commercial policy? c. F., Concord.
 A. Since your husband took his policy out before 31 December of this year, he may continue it as a term policy for eight years from the date it was issued before con- verting it to life policy National Service Life Insurance cannot be converted to commercial insurance but may be converted to 20-pay 3O-pay, or ordinary life insurance by applying to the Veterans Adminis- | tration. o. My brother has been out ot the service for two years and two months. Is 1t too late for him to get a G. I, loan? A. w., Portland.
 A. Your brother may apply fol a loan guaranty under the G. l Bill of Rights up until two years af- ter the termination of the war This is not loan but a guaranty on a loan up to one-half of ar amount whcih does not exceed $4,OOO or a guarantee of $2'OOO oi a loan of a larger amount than $4, GOO. ,
