there are more deer than there is food to feed them Officials from the Department of Iiinds and Forests Sportsmen clubs and one county councillor attended a meeting In Milton over the myself Oh the mill on fire And then came to with a shock as Irene voice said The mill on fire Look out for your roof and your car I pulled on my warmest slacks and sweater and a coat and rushed out only to find that even at a distance of a feet it was province have been attributed to weekend to discuss probability of dogs chasing deer a bunting season In Holding bylaw proves expensive for council I got my hose out of the shed screwed It onto the outside tap and went down into the cellar to warmer outside than in the turn on the water which of house The big high part was full course had been turned off for of flames you could sec them the season When I got back up I through the door and shattered saw John Turner up on the windows which made a natural incredibly high roof of the store Lets Play Bridge Sometimes you land In a contract that can only be made If the cards ore in specific hands When this happens you must make your plans accordingly Here is a case from the Acton Bridge Club South dealt with neither side vulnerable I I Q J II WEST J A J I K EAST J 12 D 10 C J SOUTH A D K C SOUTH WEST NORTH 1 PM J INT All Pali Opening lead four of diamonds I don agree with much of the bidding but I was sitting East and could do nothing but pass throughout There is no fault to be found with South opening bid West however should not pass With thirteen high card points and a spade West should double for takeout On this band it down t do any good but In the long run you will lose points if keep passing with opening strength arid shortness in opener suit Sound bid Norths bid of two clubs is sound and shows full value for his band South bids his second suit and in my opinion North should pass He already told his partner that he has ten points He likes hearts better than spades so why bid on But who can argue with suc cess Over three clubs South proceeds to three no trump and should make the contract South wins the opening lead covering Easts ten with the queen To make this contract certain cards must be in certain hands West must hold the club king but it need not be doubleton West must also hold the heart ace for reasons that will be seen shortly Must overtake The club eight Is led and declarer must overtake in dummy This entry is essential The dub ace is cashed and a high club continued West la in but what can he lead With the heart ace in his hand it seems most unlikely that partner will have an entry The best betis to lead the spade ten but as you can see any lead is hopeless If East only held the heart ace instead of West the necessary entry would be there Obvious tricks Declarer settled for his obvious nine tricks Three spades one diamond and five clubs all because the missing cards were exactly where they had to be in order to make three no trump Weather again affected the turnout at the Acton Bridge Club so we played an individual movement In this game every player played with every other play as partner once during the evening The winner was Jack Coats with Gloria Coats second Ivan Harris third and Ian Coats fourth for coffee When it was all ready the men went into the store in relays for refreshment and some were served right on the road where they were working As the fire began to subside we huddled In small groups no one saying much our hearts too heavy with sympathy for the Bardens and at the loss of the landmark which is a part of all our lives here Then we were getting cold with the reaction and as the danger of the fire spreading seemed over I went back up to the house and watched from the window for another hour Betty said the firefighters stayed till seven The beams smouldered in the basement for four or five days after that Now It all looks so sad with the roof gone and the stones around the doors and windows blackened with the smoke And as an added loss all the records which were on the third floor were destroyed And as young Dan Marshall said The Bible was on the windowsill But we are so thankful that a

members of council seem to agree they should have chosen Councillor Dick Howitt Councillor is a lawyer He said there had been 200 or 225 killed on roads alone last year in neighboring counties Gingrich said a biological study showed a three day hunt once every two years would be best answer If any hunt was lowed He favored opening all of Southern Ontario south of Mattawa for the hunt and have It at a time when the season was open up north as well This way the number of hunters is controlled to a degree If the two hunts were not at one tune hunters could attend both but It was felt this would tend to allow too many hunters He explained It was important to have a large area open to prevent a heavy concentration of hunters In any one area Both Mr Gingrich and who chaired the meeting frowned on Sunday hunting If the game isn entitled to a day off the landowner is said Gingrich explaining his opinion was a personal explained the dlf hi catching the animals alive and if they were caught it would cost about an animal to transport them to Parry Sound Mr Gingrich sold it t be a wise proposal even without He said If the animal was meant to be it would In other words Parry Sound s climate food provision and cover arc not suitable for deer It would only aggravate a situation If you put in an unsuitable environment he explained Gingrich told the hunters it would be tough to come up with a solution suitable to all He laid hunters must cither take time to get to know the landowners during the year or be prepared to pack it up Don t be afraid to ask dumb questions They
