the acton free pres monday december 23 1968 actons top kantam bowlers valono bateman and ronnie moore teamed up with matter bowler bill anderson right last weok to finish among the top 20 in the master n ets play bridge by bill coats many contracts at bridge are cold that is the tricks are there for the taking all that is required is to reach the correct contract some other hands are such that only one line of play wdl succeed so you proceed on that basis yet a third group exists and these are often the most interesting these contracts have several lines of play and you cannot know until you begin to play which ones wdl work and which ones wont work here is such a hand from the regular monday night game at the acton bridge club north dealt with both sides vulnerable north skq92

cards but it ts an ulterior contract the lead of the club nine does not look like a lead from any club holding that would include the queen but it the club finesse works now it will work later at this tune declarer should not try the club finesse the heait finesse should be tried next there are two reasons for this first if it succeeds the lead will stdl be ui souths hand second it it fads tast cannot make a damaging lead and south can get back to his hand with a trump so south led the heart eight and let it ride to east who won east makes a neutral return of a trump south must win this and lead a diamond to the queen again he really doesnt care who wins uus trick if west wins then south has two diamond tricks and tf east wins he cant it lead clubs as you can see vest wins and leads a club no declarer does not need the club finesse declarer goes up with the lung of clubs cashes his good queen wms reappoints officers for 1969 llv mrs v ben l dm the ttms met jt the home ol mrs a w

tuesday and a committee recommendation appointing dr c a martin to the bojrd of governors of seridan college was confirmed reeve w coulter suggested county appointments should be aprcad around and deputyreeve w gillies suggested the right to make appointments belonged to the i960 council he said he opposed death bed appointments reeve ii hmton pointed to the regulations under the act that require councils at their last meeting of the year to moke such appointments he suggested it was councils duty to proceed with the appointment he charged that if the amendment to delay the appointment was approved the county would be acting illegally after considerable discussion the warden ruled the amendment to delcr was out of order and reeve coulter tabled another amendment naming l i andrews to the hoard of governors tot four years he suggested the committee resolution had been a spur ot the moment resolution hceve llinton argued the amendment was incorrect since the county does not set the term of office the board does he also challenged the comment the original committee decision had been a spur of the moment move the appointment was postponed from the november to december meeting how much notice does the individual member want he questioned im more convinced than ever it should be delayed with the confusion i see here today deputyreeve gillies declared reeve llinton lectured deputyreeve cullies on the regulations and challenged him to read them reeve coulter noted dr martin was a county appointee to the milton district hospital board and county appointments should be spread around reeve llinton countered that dr martin would not accept reappointment to the hospital board a recorded vote on the amendment which would have named l li andrews was defeated 1711 and a
