When we consider that no one wants 'to be involved in an accident and experience an injury we find it diffi- cult to understand why people take chances and gamble with their lives and the lives of others with no thought for safety. Remember this week's safety slogan:" "NO ONE IS REQUIRED TO TAKE CHANCES - BE SAFE" ST. MARTIN'S HOLD BAKE SALE A bake sale was held on Friday, April 21 which was intended for the whole school.

TERRACE BAY NEWS Ag on ridge None Vulnerable South Deals NORTH SK1054 HQ42 D653 CQ93 WEST EAST SJ2 AQ987 HJ95 H87 DAKS84 DQ1097 C10852 C764 SOUTH SA63 HAK1063 DJ2 CAKJ THE BIDDING: South West North East 1H Pass 2H Pass 4H All Pass OPENING LEAD: DIAMOND KING In recent columns we have been stressing the importance of proper bidding sequences for the bidding of almost all bridge hands is 75% of the normal game. Play, on the other hand, comprises only 25% of most hands. Of course, there is no scientific analysis which can be applied here but most experts agree that without proper bids, responses, and rebids, one can- not expect to play above-average bridge. Today's deal is an ex- ample of judgment on the part of the North player. Should he bid his spade suit in preference to supporting partner's opening heart bid? We think that the bidding in the box is correct for it is more accurate to both the point count in North's hand and shows his support as weak as it is. Suppose North did respond with one spade. South would probably rebid three hearts and the problem of bidding game would fall upon North who has no idea what strength South has nor any indication of the weak- ness in the combined hands. Therefore, when considering a bid, consider also the next bid partner could make. Judging from your strength, make a bid which is most descriptive of your hand. In the actual deal, South counts partner for at least three hearts and between six and nine points and can easily bid game. The hand makes ex- actly four hearts as South will lose two diamonds and a spade.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The following was given to our news correspondent: "A resident notes with relief that the municipal dog-catcher is now at work once more. But, it is with regret that it is noticed that there are still several labradors, Irish setters, German shep- erds, that persistently run loose, both day and night, a hazard to passing traffic and a danger to children playing on the streets. It is remarkable that these dogs seem so hard to catch. The first of several Centennial Cara- vans to pass through Terrace Bay stapp- ed last Wednesday for fuel and lunch. Coming from London, Ontario they are heading for British Columbia to exhibit May |.
