Opening lead: King of spades.
In every bid you make at
bridge you are measuring the
probable loss, If things go
wrong. against the probable
gain, If they go right. When
you double your opponents into
a game. obviously the loss is
considerable. You must be sure
of your ground, then, when you
double a contract or two in a
major or three in a minor.
But when you double q bid
Of two clubs or two diamonds.
your loss is not so much even If
things go wrong. You can take
a much bigger chance in this
situation because you have
shot at a substantial gain at
the risk of only a small loss.
What would be your second
bid on the South cards in to-
days deal? Mr.. Masters opened
the bidding with a spade on a
hand that was not much over
a minimum. His partner bid
two clubs and the next hand
bid two diamonds.
No good rebid appeared to
be available on the South
cards. Surely Mr.. Masters could
not consider rebidding his four
card spade suit, raising clubs
with only two of them or bid
ding hearts on four to the seven
spot. On the surface a pass
seemed the most logical situa-
ton.
But he thought along these
lines. He had IA points in high
cards. His partners two-over-
one response showed about 10
points, "a points against the
opponents Is.
Mr.. Masters doubled two dia-
monds knowing that his part
ner would not let it stand If he
held only one diamond or no
diamonds at all. To sum up. it
appeared reasonable to assume
that the defenders would have
so per cent Of the high cards
and at least five of Mr.. Abel's
trumps. If that were true, Mr..
Abel would have considerable
difficulty winning eight of the
thirteen tricks.
Mr.. Masters cashed the king
and queen of spades and
shifted to the ace and another
club. Mr.. Champion won the
second club with the queen
and laid down the king. Mr..
Abel found it impossible to
avoid the loss of two diamond
tricks and a heart which. with
the tricks already lost. put him
down two.
The 300 points Mr.. Masters
picked up was not a huge gain
but it was a lot more than his
side could have won playing
the hand extensively.

among other age groups largely because they become
immune to most Diseases and in addition they acquire
the ability to grin and bear many minor infrmtes.
Even in the matter Of degeneration - the gradual
breakdown Of physical and mental powers - there
seems to be no immediate connection between actual
age and decline. $50 far" Dr. Monroe told me, I'VE
have found no relationship between how old person is
and the extent to which the deseneratve processes have
advanced
All this does not explain why some people age earlier
than others. Do glands and heredity hold the secret?
Or there other factors such mental health the
effects Of environment?
In searching for the answers Center experts examined
all available research about aging and found that the
groups most studied and publicized special ones
representing less than third Of all older people.
Most studies had been conducted among the aged
in hospitals special homes and in the poorer sections
Of big cities. This accounted for the grim popular con-
ception Of old age.
To offset such loaded sampiing methods. the Centers
volunteer membership includes retired business execu
tives, weto-do housewives and widows ex-carpenters
mechanics, clerks, etc.
AS whole the group is slightly above average in
economic status Each member is at least in sound
enough health to come to the Center under his own
steam About third in the pre-retirement years;
two thirds S. They 60 to the Center because
they want TO- hoping help other older people by con-
tributing to the knowledge about them.
The discovery that actual age may have little relation
to the aging process sharply illustrated by the fact
that Of this diversified group Of over 400 men and
women who originally volunteered, only seven have
died. two Of them accidentally. According to most life
insurance tables the number should have been about 33
Just why this should be true Of the group isn't quite
clear but it may be that they emotionaly happier,
and thus physically healthier
Maybe it's because older people solve for them
selves many of their own problems through the intensive
questioning" said Mr.. Cabot

Of the feelings l sensed among my friends when

myth. The members take standard psychological
