THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY CONN., THURSDAY JULY
MCKINNEY
 ON BRIDGE.
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Mrs. Benjamin (Peggy) Colder and Charles J. Solomon of Phila- delphia have won a great many tournaments together. Their bid ding is exceptionally accurate, and they employ two bidding conven- tions which have worked out very well.
 Their bid of four clubs asks for aces, the same as the four no trump Blackwood bid. An example of their other convention is given in today's hand. This particular artificial bid was used by some members of The Four Aces at one time, and it is surprising that it is not more generally employed by good players.
 When South opens the bidding with one no trump and North goes to two no trump, Souths nat ural bid is three no trump, which diamond opening. Instead, Mrs. Colder and Solomon use the bid of three clubs, which asks partner if he has four-card major, and if so, to bid it. In todays hand North has two four-card majors, which calls for another artificial response

of three diamonds, asking partner to select the major.
 
 It is a well-known fact that many hands that can be held to three no trump or even defeated at that contract can easily make four of a major. The artificial bid of three clubs costs nothing because, if there is no fit in a major, the final con- tract becomes three no trump.

At Sea On Auditorium

The chief development of the mass
meeting held to discuss site for the
proposed community building is that
there is no mass opinion for any single
site and, despite wide publicity in the
press and by the City Council but few
of the residents attending the meeting
displayed thorough understanding OF
the project. H. R. Emory, chairman
of the City Planning Board, was OBJ
viously right when he declared re-
examination of the whole undertaking
both type of building and location
is needed before any decision is reached.
The Marine Hospital property, after
many years of negotiation, was finally
bought by the city with the thought OF
constructing a community building
upon it and combining the entire tract
and the adjoining Robert Strange play
ground into recreation center. Since
the negotiations started the vicinity
has changed materially and as result
there is considerable opposition to this
proposal.
AS alternatives many sites have been
proposed, including the Fourth and
Princess property, also belonging to
the city, and the Pembroke-Jones park
on Market street opposite the high
school. Whatever merit these sites
possess there is also quite as much OPP
position to them, in the one case because
there would not be ample parking space
and in the other that it is too far from
the hotel district.
Thus the situation is far from settled
and it may be taken for granted that
whatever the Councils final decision,
there will be many to complain it is
unsatisfactory.
The Council is to be commended Tor
it's effort to obtain a cross section OF
public opinion, but inasmuch as public
opinion has not crystalized, the admin
istration at the City Hall would seem
to have no course but to use it's own
best Judgment and endure the COM
plants.

from all around The Jamb sort OF
swarmed all over the roof and, in

how I might get up with Red. Very
politely, that is; using my most
ingratiating bow and scrape.
Upon being told Red was in the
back, I walked around there, care
full not to bite down to hard for
fear I would crush my heart which
was in my teeth.
Red was a citizen with a pinkish,
tobacco-juicy beard. He was stand
ing by the SIN okehouse with a very
old woman who wore a sun-bonnet
and whose face was crinkled and
yellow like an old piece of parch-
ment.
I introduced myself to Red.

I passed on, not wishing to dis
turb Red with such matters as
accounts which he might naturally

The next stop was Dandy's. DAN
dy is Reds brother. He lived just
a piece through the woods from
Reds. I figured Dandy must have
been given the nickname because
of some stray bit of vanity that
caused him to floss himself up
when he went into Tabor City or
Fair Bluff on Saturday nights.
T It just goes to show I don't al
ways figure exactly right.
Erskine Caldwell no doubt saw
Dandy before he worked out Jeet-

follow me, somewhat mcouth.
Dandy's tobacco barn was jam
up to the path I drove up on.
There was a shed to the barn. A
couple Of friends were with Dan
dy. All had been supporting the
chief industry of The Jamb.
Underneath the shed a mule was
tied. Dandy, and his two COM
panions, doubtless devotees of a
sport that probably stems from the
ancient and knightly pastime Of
jousting, were taking turns about
whacking the mule across the
stern with two by four scantling.
They seemed, too, to have a set
