CERTAINTY TOPS HUNCH

HAVING a bunch that the out
standing cards Of a particular
suit are located in some certain
way, and that therefore an extra
trick above your contract can be
made-that is the way some chaps
like to play. Others would rather
forget their bunch and try first to
figure out some way TO make the
contract certain, even II doing so
necessitates their abandoning the
hope Of an extra trick. In rubber

an extra trick at the expense OF
endangering the contract, if sure

minor suit, the problem was
merely 10 avoid losing two tricks

South led the spade A and was
pleased to see the Q drop.
All at once he got a rush Of am
bition TO the head. combined with
a deadly bunch. to the effect that.
II West had the Oh doubleton, he
could prevent the loss OF any trick
at all in spades. Going all out on
his bunch, South laid down his
spade X. and was fiabbergasted to
see West discard. That left East
with the J9 fourchette sitting
over dummys 1917. so East got
two trump tricks. enough to en-
compass South's defeat;
There was a simple safety play
in sight. after the spade Q fell.
That, was TO lead a small spade
toward the 10. II West had the J.
the contract would still be safe.
If West was now blank. as he was.
the 10 would force out the and
leave South with a tenace KS
over East's 9-6. A simple finesse
then would have rubbed out East's
last two trumps and made certain
that only one trump trick would
be lost.

Why should a player usually IA

Trump when his only singly-
stopped short suit is a doubleton

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s-R
The home owner who needs
cooal can buy it from frozen
stocks simply by applying to
his retail coal dealer and certi-
flying that he has less than a
ten day supply, the Solid Fuels
administration said Monday.
He need not fill out certifi-
Gates or written statements.
The STA leaves it to the re-
taller to. check the truth of
purchasers reports that they
are in need. The retailer in
order to replenish his stocks
will have to provide proof that
his sales have been legitimate.
Domestic consumers with
less than ten days stock of
coal may purchase only a ten
day supply at a time.
As in past emergencies,
Canadian coal buyers are re-
garded as American rather
than foreign purchasers, with
the same regulations applying
there as in the United States.
The United States has no con-
troll over the Canadian retail
er, but the Canadian govern
ment always has worked close

The present office is located at

said.
The deputy commissioner de-
clared that space in Fayetteville

An $85, 900 program of rehabilita-
ton and major repairs on the
buildings housing its Red Feather
services was announced this after
noon by the Wilmington Community
chest through its president, Ranald
Stewart.
The construction program, to be
financed from capital reserves al
ready set aside from past Chest
campaigns, will be undertaken as
soon as building conditions be-
come more favorable," Stewart
said.
The chest plans to consider re-
pairs on the Brigade Boys club,
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, the Young Women's Christian
Association, the Shaw Boys club,
and the Salvation Army, all agenc-
les whose buildings have suffered
major deterioration during the
war years.
Stewart said, however, that the
building of a special Chest "home"
is not contemplated under the
fund. The Chest headquarters and
those agencies whose work requires
only office space will continue to
be housed in rented quarters, he
indicated.
The $s5, 900 Capital Improve
ments fund has been built up from
Sos, 600 set aside from North Caro-
lima Shipbuilding company contri-
buttons in three previous cam
paigns and from $4,000 donated
