While the play of a hand may be
a complicated matter, generally
there is only a right and a wrong
way to handle it. Most Of the ar.
guments III tournament bridge con
Germ the bidding.
There is rarely a hand that is
bid in the same way at the ma
jority Of the tables in a contest,
and I doubt If there ever has been
a hand bid exactly the same at
every table.
In today's hand, for example,
only two pairs out of fifteen reach
ed a six contract. One pair arrived
at seven diamonds, and although
they got one good break In the
drop of the doubleton queen and
Jack of diamonds, the unfortunate
club distribution prevented them
from making seven.
This pair later agreed that
the contract should not have been
played at seven diamonds. North
should hav taken the contract tc
seven spades, because he knew
from the jump bid of five club:
that South must have at least the
ace and king of clubs, on which
North's two small diamonds coult
be discarded.
However, it is interesting te
note that if South had held the
queen and jack of spades, sever
diamonds could have been made
Without the jack of spades South
did not have sufficient entries tt
provide against the bad clut
break. At seven spades the clut
break did not affect the hand.
Going back to the bidding

showed at least four spades. Ir
other words, you do not make q
cue-bid on the early rounds unless
you have at least four Of your

South's five-club bid may have
been too optimistic, but it was the
only way he could show his part.

was the bid that ultimately aot

IN MEMoRIAM

In sad and loving memory of dear
husband, father and grandfather,
John M. Carson, who passed away
November 30. 1916:
This day brings back a sad memory
OF a dear one laid to rest
And those that think of him today
Are those who loved him the best.
Was one year ago today
That our dear one passed away
We little knew the sorrow that await
ed us that day
We did not know that God was COM
ing to take him away.
| sat by your side alone, dear hus-
band
saw your life depart
And when l knew that you were dead,
1t startled me and almost broke my
heart.
We watched you suffer day by day
In silence you suffered, in patience
Gone is the face we loved so dear.
Silent is the voice we loved to hear.
We often sit and speak of how you
That you did not say good bye" be-
fore you closed your eyes,
Your spirit flew before we knew
Your days on earth were done.
No one knows how lonely it is here
We miss you more each day,
Life has never been the same with us
Since you were called away.
The moon and stars shine on lonely
grave
Where lies the one we loved so dearly,
But in our aching hearts we know
for all of us you did your best,
And now at last God has given you
that sweet eternal rest.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by

sny of its bonds. 1t is vital part of
the democratic process that the Sc
curities of the national debt should
be held by the many, rather than by
only the favored few. Thus, millions
share in their benefits to the thrifty
saver and build financial security
for the future.
One thing any American can do
today to reaffirm his faith in the
liberties which are based upon the
historic documents brought to him
by the Freedom Train is to count
his blessings of freedom and then
count his spare cash and go to the
bank or post office and invest in
more of his country's bonds. If he
can, he should join the Payroll Saw
ings Plan where he works or the
Bond-a-Month Plan where he banks.
In that way he is helping to insure
his own, freedom from want and
the fear of want and to build a
sound economy for us all.
