Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-05-20

AS I listened to Mrs. DOnley's
happy family story Of her Mothers
Day with her children and their
families my thoughts went back
to you who stin hope you will hear
from your son and your daughter.
Both Of your Mothers have done
everything you can to find your
son and your daughter but after
all of these years you have not
had a single word of them or of
anyone who has seen them.
You both wonder if they are
alive but you, the mother Of your
daughter begin to feel your daught-
err is not living or she would have
let you know years ago. You, the
boys mother never doubt the
faith you have held all Of these
years that one day you win see
your son again.
Perhaps some one will read this
and knowing a son or daughter
who left home years ago win tell
them they left behind heartbroken
parents who would like to hear
from them. Both sets of parents
would like word of their son and
daughter no matter where they
are.

I was ushered into the living room
and asked to enjoy being with my
husband and our many grand
children.
Il had to get up and glance out
into the kitchen and to my ques-
tons 1 was told the dishes and all
the work was being done on the
assembly line" method.
Nobody had to take any I'M
necessary steps. The line formed
from the dining table to the sink
with one fork Of the line to q kit
chen table. In no time at all every
dish had been cleared up and in
q pile ready to be washed and
dried and another assembly line
stood by putting them in the vari-
Gus family piles" they had mark
ed for them.
They insisted on leaving enough
food for our lunch that night and
for dinner the next day If we
wanted to use it that way. We de-
cided to visit our neighbors the
next day as I felt free to do as
pleased since my dinner was ready.
Being the mother Of a large
family you know I have not had
too much time to socialize with
my neighbors but from now on
hope to get better acquainted with
the newcomers in our neighbor-
hood My children are grown and
I will have quite a few free hours
to help others. All in all I have
a pretty good Mothers day all
year but 1 wanted to tell you about
yesterday.

South West North East
IA 20 Dble. Pass
I20 Pass 40 All Pass
Opening lead: Diamond king
South has a sound opening
bid. and West has a fair over
call of two diamonds. North
has the sort of light penalty
double we have been discuss
ing. This double shows a good
defensive hand but doesn't
guarantee murderous strength
in the enemy's suit.
South would be delighted
to accept a double of two clubs
or two hearts, but ne is not
eager to defend against two
diamonds.
North is delighted to raise
to four hearts. He knows that
South has at most one dia-
mond. so that his own strength
lin clubs is sure to be useful. If
South has an opening bid with
biddable spades and hearts
and a singleton diamond he is
sure to have a fine play for
game in hearts.
Play Is Simple
The play at four hearts is
simple, for South should make
10 or II tricks no mater how he
goes at it. South's best plan
is to ruff the second diamond
and lead a low club to fineSse
dummy's Jack at once. South
cannot tell which fineSse will
work but should plan TO try
both.
East wins and probably re-
turns a diamond for South to
ruff. Declarer then cashes his
two trumps, enters dummy with
a club to draw the last trump,
and tries the spade finesse. The
rest is easy.
The basic bidding principle
is very simple: The double of
a low contract shows general
strength and invites partner
to cooperate in the defense. AS
pointed out in my latest book:
If he has a good reason. an
expert takes out a double Just
as though partner had shown
his strength by a bid. And the
doubler, if he is likewise an
expert, not only expects this
treatment but Scolds his part
ner for letting the double stand
if his hand clearly called for a
takeout."
