Fresh fruit or gelatin des-
serts have always been the
traditional fare of calorie coun-
tiers. A combination of these
two, when prepared with a
minimum of sweetening, makes
for a dessert that adds new ex-
element to otherwise drab diet
menus. Using whipped New Pet
Instant Nonfat Dry Milk, which
contains less than | per cent
fat, tangy orange chunks and
gelatin, makes a creamy de-
licious Regal Orange Dessert.
Weight-wat itching meals can
have the added touch of a
special dessert, with the addi-
ton of only l22 calories a
serving, and you'll marvel at
the beauty and taste of this
unusual dessert.

HERE AND THERE
Last week was a busy one,
Evening star., 1959-12-09
By ALFRED SHEINWOLD
Us. Masters Team Champion

Opening lead: Jack of hearts
1t was up to West to pick
the best opening lead. He knew
South had great length and
strength in the black suits:
hence the opening lead had to
be in hearts or diamonds. West
also knew that his partner had
an ace. since otherwise South
would have bid five no-trump
to check on kings instead of
jumping to six spades. In short,
West wanted to lead the suit
in which his partner held the
ace. But how was he to know
which suit this was?
Wrong Guess
When the hand was played
West guessed wrong. He led the
Jack of hearts. South consid-
cred going up with the ace of
hearts and stalking the slam
on a later flnesse in clubs.
However West had made the
opening lead with such sppar-
ent agony that he was almost
surely marked with the king
of hearts.
For this reason South A.
messed the queen of hearts at
the first trick. The finesse
worked and South discarded
the singleton diamond on the
ace Of hearts, drew trumps and
claimed the slam even though
the club finesse failed.
Was there any way for West
to choose the right opening
lead? There was a slight indi-
cation that should have steered
West in the right direction.
North wanted to play the hand
at no-trump with ace-queen in
one red suit and only the queen
in the other. He would expect
a lead in the major suit and
would therefore tend to be
stronger in hearts than in dia-
mondS. when a defender has
clear opening lead, he makes
it; when he is in doubt, he
tends to lead a major rather
than a minor suitD Hence
West should open a diamond
rather than a heart.
Daily Question
AS dealer, with both sides
vulnerable, you hold:
A105 VAQ76 UQ984 %A85
What do you do?
Answer: Pass. The hand is
not quite worth an opening bid.

it large and deep and when he
and Keotuk were safely in he
turned the sled on its side and
pulled it against the opening

hardly finished when the full
might of the Ice Kings fury
burst down upon the sea.
But Oonik didn't care. He
snuggled against Keotuk's warm
fur and fell asleep.
He was awakened by a ter
rible noise of crashing ice. He
was thrown across the cave and
Keotuk came tumbling after
him. They both slid to the
top of the cave. Horrif1ed,
Oonik saw that the cave was
collapSing.
The ice field on which the
cave was had been broken into
pieces and now the huge chunks
of ice were grinding together,
crumbling and piling on top of
one another like toy blocks
tossed about by a playful giant.
Shaking with fright, Oonik
suddenly felt the cave being
lifted into the air. Then, midst
a thousands tons of ice, the
cave burst open and Oonik was
sliding down an enormous slab
of ice.
Down, down, down, he plunged
straight towards a pool of
churning black water at the
bottom of the upended cake Of
ice.
