communion with rev mr johnson conducting the service opening lead 6 of clubs the bidding could vary depend ing on style but the no trump contract otters the best chance for a game declarer wins the opening lead and is faced with the choice of developing a suit spades should be the choice since a trick must be lost here in any case the king of spades drops the ten from wests hand which is both good and bad news it means three spade tricks for sure but it cuts off the chances for five tricks east should win the spade lead at once and return a club it is at this point that west must stop and think he has but one sure entry the club ace he must hope that east has three clubs when declarer plays the king west must reject the temptation to win the trick he must play low and conserve his ace declarer will continue spade and when they dont break he will switch to hearts on the spade leads west should discard two diamonds and a heart when hearts dont break declarer will lead a diamond again east must rise with the ace immediately and lead his last club west can now set the contact with three i club tricks if east ducks a diamond de clarer gels home with three spade three hearts two clubs and a diamond east must take his aces quickly to help set up wests club but west must hold his ace to conserve communica tion with his partner last weeks winners at the ac ton bridge club were first

the clock figured that in ten years he would have to tick 630 072000 times he had a nervous breakdown after awhile the grandfather clock realised that all he had to do was to tick one tick at a time so he measured the hours happily away until he was an old old clock we should be like the old sou thern workman who said when i works i works easy when i sits i sits loose and when 1 worries i sleep
