Principal speakers for the JAM

He liked pointing to more than

Mr.. Brown believes in farm eff

of public schools should not be a

Long delays will only bring
about greater tension in a much

der of Elks of the World has for
many years supported the funda-

and it has worked effectively when
delays in desegregation were not
permitted" DR.. Johnson continued;
"The fallacy of the Salk vaccine
program was, perhaps, improper
controls on distribution and pro-
duction. This factor is a strong
argument for the specialization OF
medicine. A high percentage of the

should act to increase the health

The jack of hearts was opened
and Mr.. Champion hopefully
finessed the queen. But when
Mrs. Keen won with the king he
wished he had ducked in an ef-
fort to block the suit.
Mrs. Keen returned the seven
of hearts and Mr.. Abel overlook
with the nine which was per-
mitted to win. A third lead of
hearts drove out dummy'S ace,
Mrs. Keen discarding the deuce
of spades.
Well, everything was still all
right if five club tricks could be
won as there were four natural
winners in the other three suits.
How to play the club suit
that was the question. The five
outstanding. clubs could be
counted on to split 80 in the
opponents hands about 68 per
cent of the time. The chances,
then. were better than two to
one that simply laying down the
ace. king and queen of clubs
would bring in the entire suit.
Could Mr.. Champion increase
the percentage in his favor? Let's
see. If Mrs. Keen held four clubs
to the Jack he would have to
take first-round finesse toward
Mr.. Abel's hand.
And Mr.. Abel was known to
have two set-up heart tricks.
Wouldn't it be grueSome to take
q f1rst-round club fnesse and
have Mr.. Abel win with the sim
gleton jack? Mr.. Champion
dropped this ugly thought
quickly.
Well then, suppose Mr.. Abel
had four clubs to the jack. Here
Mr.. Champion could add to his
chances of success. In this case
the dangerous firSt-round fineSse
would not be neceSsary-but an
important unlocking play would.
So Mr.. Champion led the king
of clubs from the board at trick
four and was careful to play the
10 mot the FOUR from his own
hand. Then he led low club to
his ace---and Mrs. Keen showed
out. Now there was a proven
f1neSse against Mr.. Abels
guarded jack.
And now it is clear why Mr..
Champion unblocked his 10 of
clubs and saved his four-spot.
He could lead his four, finesse
dummys nine and stay in
dummy to cash the rest of the
suit.
