T'Aint Fair
A birthday party without the
cake and the ceremony of blow
ing out the lights on its candles
is to a child what a wedding with
out a groom would be TO a bride.
It's the party along with the ice
cream. But the editor does not
see eye to eye with the society
scribe and he LEAVES-it should
be capitalized-that part out. To
a child the result is as uninterest-
ing as a busted balloon. Sorry
children, that's the way of it.

weekly for playing. When one
asks what the game is like one is
vaguely informed that is akin to
gin rummy, only its played with
two decks of cards, though a sin
gle deck may be used when there
are Just two players. The reports
are that it's very exciting.

The doctrine, Always return your
partners lead" was propounded. If
not exclusively for the benefit OF the
blind, then surely for those whose
vision is at least slightly impaired.
But when one is In full possession
Of hts sense of sight, not to mention
his faculty for logical deduction,
he is at liberty to depart from all
manner of canned advice" Indeed,
many times a cool business sense
makes it clear that a shift to some
other suit is mandatory and no
special reverence should be mani
tested toward a lead that after all
was selected in the dark. Had East
followed the line of least resistance
and woodenly returned his partners
lead. South would have romped of
with his contract.
The final contract was sound
enough, though it was a close point
whether or not North should have
rebid the diamonds as mild warn
ing rather than raise the no-trump.
However, he felt that the king of
clubs was an almost certain entry
and that the diamond suit had a
very good prospect of establishment,
30 he chose the more aggressive
course.
West was reluctant to open club
from his tenace position for fear OF
losing a trick 4gainst contract
that he had high hopes of defeating
because of his defensive spade hold
ing. In this he was right. He chose
instead to make the noncommittal
lead of the two of hearts. Dummy
played low and the queen forced the
ace. A low diamond play brought
forth the jack, the queen and the
ace. Had East thoughtlessly re-
turned the king and another heart
declarer would have won with the
ten and cleared the diamond suit
In time to make nine tricks. But
East had put on his thinking cap at
the opening lead. When declarer
played low from dummy and then
won with the ace, he marked him.
self with the ten of hearts, because
If he had not held that card 1t would
have been obligatory for him to play
the jack from dummy in the hope
that the lead had been from the
king queen.
rOn this line of reasoning East
could count nine tricks for declarel
on the Assumption that he held botf
the ace of spades and the ace o.
clubs. In order to defeat the con-
tract some spade tricks would havt
to be cashed before his secont
diamond stopper was dislodged. He
therefore, shifted to a spade. De
cIarer took the single finesse ant
when 1t lost to Vests king hear
was continued. East won with tn
king and drove out the ten of hearts
20 that the setting trick was cashe'
with the nine when his damon,
irick was yielded to him. East coul'
have defeated the contract NOR
seyerely by leading another spade
hut he took no chances on declare
having the jack of spades and playe
safe for a one-trick set.

Rurdl Fire Huzurds
In Critical Stdge

With 20 counties in the state
reporting rural fire losses to-
falling more than $4,000 for
the month of July, J. C. Taylor,
setting state coordinator of the
Montana Rural Fire Fighters
service, today warned that UNI
til fall rains come rural fire
hazards will continue to be cri-
tical and that every possible
precaution must be taken to
prevent fires.
The July losses, he said, are
probably the highest for any
one month in recent years and
they included $4,000 acres of
range grass, IL farm buildings
among which were four farm
homes, and many items of val
liable farm equipment.
we cannot expect any les
sening of fire hazards with the
harvest season now on" Taylor
said. I'm fact he added, "the
hazards will increase. With
more tractors, trucks and self
propelled combines operating in
grain fields this month there
is bound to be an increase in
machine-made fires unless eX-
treme care is exercised. Every
piece of motorized equipment
in the grain field should carry
a back-pack pump or other
type of fire extinguisher."
Other suggestions made by
Taylor for protecting grain
fields and range lands were
the blowing of fire guards
around field margins and the
changing of exhaust pipes on
motorized equipment so that
the pipes point upward instead
Of downward into grass and
Stubble.
