J Lets Play Bridge by II coats Summer has come to an end and the bridge season has started again at the Acton Bridge Club Some people say that we hut bad a long spring here in Ontario but western Canada had a beautiful summer We had a moat enjoyable and interesting trip to the west coast and all I can say is that we are indeed fortunate to live in such a vast but splendid country Utile ruty We did however miss our bridge games I had an advance start when I went to Toronto to direct the opening game at the Bell Telephone Bridge Ctub They were one player short so I ended up playing as well as directing Both my partner and myself had been away from the card table since June so we were both a bit rusty The following hand however was a highlight of the evening as no one else made this slam hand East dealt with neither side vulnerable NORTH EAST i Hll CK A J 10 WEST NORTH Opening of Ode rule I always follow is never under a hand If a hand Is worth a four bid dont start off at three Since most players will open three hearts on seven to the ace it follows that you open four hearts on eight to the ace Unfortunately this bid was more of a nuisance to my partner than to the opposition North showed either pass a bid six hearts There Is no way that I know of to bid scientifically after a preemptive bid Its Just a gamble as to who has the right cards Simple The club lead made life fairly simple I could not Imagine a defender under leading a king against a sUu1 so I took the free finesse and played the ten of dubs from dummy East covered with the king while declarer ruffed Hoping to catch a singleton honour declarer laid down the heart ace and followed with the Jack This was the only trick for the defense With all the high cards that West holds I think the best lead la the trump king West Is sure of one trump trick and showed hope that the side suits will produce one trick On the lie of the cards declarer can always make six since the diamond finesse Is on and spades split threethree See If you can make twelve tricks with a trump lead Winners Last week winners at the Acton Bridge Club were first Tom and Art second Mrs Tyers and Pat Jeffares third Jan Coats

Gib bons The league schedule is A large Hydro right of way Is In tact an asset to urban housing because It provides a for recreation but It can have a very undesireable Impact on a rural area which includes many properties of historical Interest This was the message delivered to the Commission Monday by Mrs June Barnes a resident of Lot Con Nassagaweya Mrs Barnes message was part of the brief presented by the Coalition of Concerned Citizens and Erin townships were chosen by Mrs Barnes as three municipalities which contain irreplaceable buildings built before the turn of the century which could be adversely by Hydro proposed middle route The route crosses Erin and Eramosa townships then swings South cutting diagonally across the northwest cornet of Nass Council has offered its own proposal for the portion of the route which passes through the township The people of Ontario have grown and matured and now we recognize that the past Is our heritage and tradition The appeal of demolish the old and replace with the new la fast fading she told the commission Cites bouses Mrs Barnes told the commission of two log houses with a board and baton facing In one of which is crossed by the proposed Ontario right of way but she concentrated her presentation on permanent residences which were made out of handsplit limestone between 1650 and 1870 The first example the farm on Lot Con 2 has both a house and bam made out of stone Mrs Barnes explained that the owner of the house a wellknown artist intended to Plan dinner Centennial costumes will be worn again for St centennial

studio The house will not be destroyed by the route Mrs Barnes said but Ontario Hydro has decided that a more fitting backdrop for history and art will be five columns of steel robots marching across the property from corner to corner Second example Mrs Barnes cited was her own property at Lot Con She told the commission her husband Charles had plans to restore as a point of Interest one of the few remaining lime kilns In the area The kilns are situated In the back triangle of the property The Hydro right of way crosses the land from corner to comer triangulating the land and the kiln may be lost forever if the route is approved Mrs Barnes said She said the edge of the right of way would pass two feet from the corner of the house and that Ontario Hydro would take ail of a bush from which deer have a crossing example number Con A Mrs Barnes said the proposed Hydro corridor would pass a few feet from the house and barns which are both made out of stone In fact so close that Hydro will purchase the whole farm land Switching her presentation to township Mrs Barnes described a house on the Fairies property as one of the prettiest Gothic vernacular I have seen She said the Fairies connection with the property dates back to 1846 and claimed no amount of money will salve the hurt that Ontario Hydro is doing by crossing their property In Erin township Mrs Barnes said present owners of property and buildings at Lot Con have spent years repairing and restoring an old house there She said trees have been planted in front of the house under the Woodlands Improvement Act The Ontario Hydro right of way passes within feet of the house she said Mrs Barnes also criticized the way Ontario Hydro used the Matrix system to compare various factors amongst alternative routes She claimed all owners were given equal weight whether they had an old tin shed or a year old stone house The Matrix system offers neither distinction between nor to the various buildings she said In conclusion she charged that the Ontario Hydro brief appears to have been produced for the sole purpose of proving that the middle route is still the best and only route to follow Let us not plan a route on the basis of which route does the least harm Let us be positive and plan route from Nantlcokc to Pickering which offers the maximum benefit to the community and countryside through which it passes she asked the commission Fair president Bert Hinton and ladies president Mrs Archibald Report of a diamond ring value at was reported to police from high school this week Fall Perm Special Main
