Muzzy could safely overtake his
queen of diamonds with dunn
Imys' ace and he finally made
that play.
The ten and eight were now
equals to drive out Miss Brash's
Jack and pick up her seven spot.
Note the difference If the seven
and eight of diamonds were ex-
changed between Miss Brash's
and Mr.. Champions hand.
In that case Mr.. MuzZy could
not have afforded to overtake his
queen of diamonds with the ace
because then Miss Brash would
have had two shoppers in the
suit with jack-eight over dunn
my's ten-seven.
The only hope would have
been to play small card from
dummy on the queen, go to the
board with the king Of hearts
and play the ace Of diamonds
hoping for q 3-3 split in the suit

A phrase which speaks well
for mans inherent love Of peace
is "open skies plan"-whereby
a nation would allow other ma
tions to inspect it from the air.
From aviation, too. comes an
other new word ''stol''-from the
initial letters of the phrase
