This Is the end OF a year. q
time to review recent events
now aging in memory, a time
to resolve and look to the future.
Time, that exacting movement
guided By the sun and the stars,
has been q source Of inspiration
and dismay for writer's since the
birth of the recorded word.

Until we did some research on
the subject. we had the thought
that the expression, .time flies.

AWord to the Wise s,n... From. Colby

Even the Romans had some
words for time. Lucretius put 1t
this way:
do you not see even stones
yield to the power Of time. lofty
towers fall to decay. and rocks
molder away? Temples and
statues of the gods go to ruin.
nor can the gods themselves
prolong their date or get reprieve
from fate"
Time has been compared to q
river and likened to wise coun-
sellor. It has been called the
father of truth, the destroyer of
youth. the nurse and breeder Of
all good. and a fashionable
host that slightly shakes his
parting guest by the hand"
But one thing Is certain: The
time is now. Let the past be
forgotten. Consider the moment
and the hour. And may your
moments and hours be full with
the Joy Of living. For time
more than anything else lis
short.

are without webs. Even though
they are without the power to
swim. the wading birds 60 into
water to hunt for food.
Aside from those birds are
others which seem to like
nothing better than water. but
have neither long legs nor
webbed feet. I am thinking Of
the dippers.
A dipper is hardly the size Of
a robin. Also known as the
water olzel. it has plain gray
feathers.
Dippers are mountain birds.
In North America they are found
from Alaska and British Column

Texas. Montana and Wyoming
are among the mountain States
which have dippers.

81 Inc king OF spades was MI.
Champions opening lead against
the five-diamond contract. What
would you play from dummy?
You have a sure diamond loser
and, unless you are very lucky,
you also have losers in both
hearts and clubs.
# the clubs break 3-3. you can
throw a losing heart on dummy's
fourth club. In this case the
right discard from dummy at
trick one would be a small heart.
On the other hand. If the
hearts break 3-3 and the clubs
do not, you can throw a small
club on dummy's fourth heart.
Then If the club king is on your
left, you will be in for II tricks.
Mr.. Masters solved this prob
lem neatly. He retained dummy's
four-card length in both clubs
and hearts, thus keeping both
chances alive. He played a trump
from the board on the opening
trick. ..N
Next he led a diamond, and
Mr.. Champion was in with the
ace. A spade return at this point
would enable Mr.. Masters to ruff
In dummy while discarding a
small heart from his hand. A
heart return from the queen
jack would also present him with
q trick he could not develop for
himself.
Mr.. Champion realized the
danger in either these leads, so
he came out with the 10 Of clubs.
Mr.. Masters played low from the
board. and Mr.. Dale won with
the king. But that was the de-
tenders last trick. Mr.. Masters
was now in a position to discard
his losing heart on dummy's long
club.
