10 80 Pass
3NT All pass
Mr.. Champion was both right
and wrong. He was right in
what he said about signaling.
He was wrong to think it would
do any good to tell Mr.. Muzzy.
This is what brought on
the discussion: Mr.. Champion
opened the king OF hearts
against Mrs. Keen's three-no-
trump contract. Mr.. Muzzy. who
currently has a craze on the
subject Of signals, showed proper
enthusiasm for his four-card
length in the suit by playing the
eight spot.
Mrs. Keen ducked the first
trick but had to win the heart
continuation. She saw that she
had only eight winners in sight
and that the club suit was the
only possible spot to try to de-
VelOp q QlntQ one.
Before starting on the clubs.
however, she decided to run her
four diamond tricks to give the
enemy a chance to err in dis
carding. An excellent decision.
Mr.. Champion had to make
two discards. He chose the nine
and seven of spades, cards he
could well afford to let go. Mr..
Muzzy had to make just one dis
card, but he made it count-for
the opposition. On the fourth
diamond he played the eight of
clubs.
This accomplished two things.
1t told Mr.. Champion he could
safely lead a club-and it gave
Mrs. Keen her contract.
All Mrs. Keen had to do now
was to lay down the ace, king
and another club. Mr.. Muzzy
won the third round with the
queen and the defenders then
collected two more heart tricks.
But after that they were
through.
II Mr. Muzzy had held onto
all of his clubs, the contract
would have been hopeless. Sig
mails are valuable, but they're
no good when they lose trick.

Whitaker was speaking primarily Of

is given exceedingly enticing inducements
to locate. Whitaker believes industries
which come merely to save few dollars
may leave again when the situation
changes.

and who do not closely scrutinize the type
Of industry they are getting, are making a
fundamental and longrange mistake.
Just as 4 community does not want gust
any human as a citizen, it should not want

tees, reputation and long-term intentions.
In saying this, we are not criticizing the
aggressive community which viii make
some reasonable concessions to bring in
much-needed industry, so that the economy
of the area can be properly diversified
The point is that there is a balance to

mites should not go overheard to attract

Dear Peggy:
After reading about the mother
you describe, many folks will un-
derstand why the present delin-
quency rate is SO high. Surely one
would hardly expect an adult to
defend such behavior on the part
of a child. Of course, if this moth
er wants her boy to smoke at
home, that is her affair, but she
has no right to allow him to be
bad influence on other innocent
children. There is school of
though that maintains that parents
should be punished for the child's
bad behavior, The idea certainly
has merit.
Indications are that there are
