United States via Hawaii, but
not "via transport planes" Cor
rect: "GI's returning from Korea

Via more often than not is
mispronounced. Not "VEE-uh." "
Correct: VI-uh.
Convince" is often incorrectly
used for persuade" as is shown

considered it an extreme (and

Mr.. Abel led the jack of spades
and, to his surprise, it held. Here
was Mr.. Masters reasoning in
ducking the trick. First he
couldn't hope to win more than
three spades. To make his con-
tract, he would have to bring in
at least two club tricks.
Now, if the opposing spades
were divided 4-3, only one spade
need be lost and the contract
was probably safe. However, If
Mr.. Abel had five spades, it
might be vital to wait until Mrs.
Keen was out of that suit before
Surrendering the lead to her in
clubs.
The chances were good that
the three high club honors were
split between the defenders and
that Mrs. Keen could get on
lead at least once.
This Thoughtful planning paid
OFF handsomely. Mr.. Abel can
hardly be criticized for con-
tinuing spades and Mr.. Masters
won the second trick with the
queen. He led a low club which
Mrs. Keen won with the king.
She returned a small heart and
Mr.. Abel's queen fell to dummy's
ace.
Another club was led, losing
to Mr.. Abel's queen. The spade
return was won with the king
and the ace of clubs was knocked
out. Mr.. Masters still had a
spade stopper and the contract
was on ice.
Note that if Mr.. Masters had
won the first spade trick he
would have gone set. On gaining
the. lead with the king of clubs,
Mrs. Keen would have led back
a spade knocking out the second
stopper. Now Mr.. Abel, with two
more club tricks and only one
more high spade to knock out,
would have been one jump ahead
of Mr.. Masters at all times
