Mr.. Heinsite's hand was very
close to an opening bid In to-

opened the bidding third hand

that fact with Jump TO two

Mr.. Abel was now interested
in bigger things than game. He
decided to rebid three spades.

to show where his principal

He planned to go to six no.

spades. When Mr.. Heinsite
showed a preference for hearts
there was no longer any ques-
ton about the place to play
the slam.

monds and dummy's queen won.
Mr.. Abel then laid down the
king Of hearts and when Mrs.
Keen showed out 1t was clear
that he had to lose two trump
tricks.
| Mr.. Heinsite spoke up
promptly and he was right for
a change. "Your first heart
play" he said. should have
been a small one to the ace.
Then you could lead another
heart toward my king-nine.
Dale would have to put UP the
ten to keep the nine from win

one heart"

worry about" said Mr.. Abel.

That's silly" commented
Mr. Heinsite. The only way to
play the hand is the way just
told you. Right. Dale?"
IF you want to get technical
and / know you do" said Mr..
Dale. "Abel's best play was to
take the club finesse at trick
two. The outcome Of that play
would have told him how to
play the hearts.
"If the finesse lost. then he
could not afford to lose any
heart tricks and the play Of
the king of hearts first was
probably best. But II the club
fnesse won he could afford to
lose a heart and he should
have used the safety play to
make sure that he would not
lose two hearts"

BL-M Investigates Range-land Fires

Kodiak has kicked off the 1858 Alaska fire season with series of range-land grass fires. Official ly the fire season begins April 30. Officials from the ELM were in Kodiak this week conducting an investigation
 These are fires, which can and do, cause severe damage to the natural resources stated Archie D. Craft, Fire Control Officer of the Anchorage District, Bureau off Land Management, who was here this week. He was accompanied by John Merrick, ELM representa- tive at Homer. Uncontrolled burning results in accelerated erosion, particularly when burning occurs on steep hillsides and in the upper breaks of our water sheds" Craft said.
 The 5 million acre loss of forest and range lands last year was record" he continued, "and the unusually mild winter and low snow fall has created unusual ly dangerous fire conditions for this summer.
 Craft stated he was particularly concerned over the grass fires which have been started on Kodiak Island during the last few days. He warned that ranchers wishing to burn over their lands for the purpose of improving their range should do under strict supervision and not allow the fire to go bel yond the boundaries of their own property The Territorial Fire Control Act requires prudence in starting a fire and stipulates pro- vision sound be made for safe burning by constructing fire breaks and other control meas ureS.
 The Act further provides that anyone starting a fire must stay with it continuously until it is out and he must have the necessary tools and equipment on hand to insure it being kept under con- trol.
 Those who have grazing leases with the Bureau of Land Manage ment and wish to burn as range improvement measures should make application to do so to the Operation Supervisor, Bureau of Land Management, Box 48O, Anchorage, Alaska.
