It is the and that always counts And nothing else to much

amounts -Old Mother Nature.

Whether one fights for his life. or runs for his life. or flies for his Life. or saves his life in some other way doesn't matter -as long as his life is saved. Anyway. that is how it is with the little people of the Ereen Forest and the Green Mea- lows. So each has his own special way of trying to save his life in ilne of dancer.

Lightfoct the Deer and all his 'smily depend on their long slim Legs to get them out of danger. rilunderer the Grouse and all his hmily depend on their stout. swift vings when danger is near. Grand- .'ather Frog dives into the mud at lhe bottom of the Smiling Pool. Peter Rabbit trusts to his legs and the way he can dodge to get to a safe retreat. Longbili the Wood- cock knows that if he lies perfect- ly still his coat looks so like the dead brown leaves around him that if he doesn't move he is not likely to be seen. if he is seen he still has a pair of swift wings to lake him out of danger.

U'nc' Billy Possum has legs. Of course. But they are not long and slim and swift. He can run. but not feet. He can climb, but not fast like Happy Jack Squirrel. lie has so wings. Of course not. Flitter the Bat and his relatives are the lnly furry folks with wings. the inly ones who can fly. Unc' Billy unnot depend on being unseen lnless he is in a safe hiding place. lie cannot dodge like Peter Rab- ait. l-le cannot dive like Jerry Musirl-at and Paddy the Beaver. lie hasnit quick wits like those of ileddy Fox. He cannot fight like iol-lnny Chuck and Bobby Coon ind some others. Yet Unc' Billy Possum manages to live when and where some who drink themselves I lot smarter than he fail. And it is because way back when the world was young his great-grew aver-so-great-grandparenta learned that even the smartest folks can

El-IADED DOUBLE!

some good players believe that Very llaht takeout doubles an ad- visable, for the effect they have on the enemy. Perhaps this is true when the opponents are weak and easily misled but there can be up- ' t repercussions from such doubles when the opposition is smart! Observe this case:

West opened his top diamond. Dummy ducking. East won with the king and shifted to the spade deuce. South played the king; West won with the ace and in ocked out the diamond queen.

Declarer cashed his four club tricks, and West found himself hard pressed for a discard. Figur- ing that his partner must have something in spades. West gave up the ten in order to keep two dia- monds. South. however, was ready to cope with this defense. He cash- N1 the iamond ace and the spade :ueen, hen laid down the heart

Obviously. West could not af- ford to duck. because south would 'hen lead another heart toward ihe queen. Taking the trick. how- wer. was no more effective. be- uluss after west had cashed his sood diamond. he had to return a heart from his Jack-eight. Declar- lr. holding the 10-5 in his own land and the Q4 kl dummy. let West's heart return coma around to the ten-spot. and thereby col- lected the need tricks.

After East turned up with the diamond kins. south could be see- ionably sure that West had every

other missing honor and plan his play on that basis. whereas if West -

had not doubled the opaninl Nd- Iouih would have had to do some remarkable guessing.

be fooled and how to fool them.' They taughtthelr children, and their children taught their child- ren. By and by Posum children didn't need to be taught how to use that trick. The know-how was boa-n,in them and is to this day. Little Billy Possum. just starting out in the Great World. already had used that trick several times. Folks are funny about some things, human folks and Green Forest folks alike. You'll find that a lot of them like to think them- selves smart. but are slow to ad- mit thet other folks may be just as man or perhaps smarter. It is

sum's neighbors in the Green For- est. Most of them have at one time or another seen Unc' Billy pretend to be dead when caught by an enemy. But some don't agree that Unc' Billy is playing a trick. They don't believ he does it purposely. They think e is too scared to move; that while not really "scar- ed to death" he is so scared he can't move and so looks as if dead.

Peter Rabbit and his big Green rorest cousin. Jumper the Hare, almost quarreled over the matter once. it happened that they were sitting together under a big hem- lock bough beside the Crooked Little Path when Unc' Billy Pos- sum appeared shuullns along as if there was no such thing as hurry- ing. Just as he was opposite them a big Dog came running along the Crooked little Path. Unc' Billy saw him before he saw Unc' Billy. He

"didn't try to run. He simply tell

over on his side in the middle of the' Crooked Little Path. The Dog sniffed him all over. Unc' Billy didrft move. The Dos rolled him over with his paw. Unc' BHIY didn't move so much as a hair. The Dog picked him up in his bit mouth and shook him. then drop- ped him. Une' Billy lay just as he fell. He didn't move.

"He is so scared he can't move," whispered Peter.

Jumper shook his head. "He is scared, but not that scared. He is just pretending. He can move but he won't,” said he.

"He won't because he can't." de- clared Peter. "He is Mm 8'-"Ed

I Jumper shook his head. "You're wrong. 'l'hat's your mis- take." said he.
