The worst you often find to be Much better than you thought to

see. -Chatter-er the Red Squirrel

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is an optimist although you wouldn't suspect it to hear him scolding. An optimist. you know.. is one who always sees the best in whatever happens; who alvzays tihinks things could be worse han they are.

A great storm had swept through the Green Forest. It. had torn great limbs from some tre 5 and had blown others over. niong these were hollow trees and stumps which were Chatterer's store- rooms. In these had been his win- ter supply of seeds and nuts. He had worked hard to fill those storehouses for Chatterer isn't afraid of work. Now those store-

Preemptive overcalis on very long but defensively-worthless suits can, at times, interfere with the opponenis' exchange of in- formation - but these calls can also be boomerangs! Observe the effect or such a bid in a team-of tour match:

The opening lead was the same club queen, but here, warned that West had great length in clubs. this declarer did not play the spade ace. This South realized that if either defender had all three missing trumps, it strongly figured to be East rather than West; so South led a low trump from his own hand - obviously with full success. West's void was now no obstacle. since all South had to do. was put up the spade king and take the proved finesse against East.

houses had been broken open and the seeds and nuts scattered and beaten into the ground and cov- ered with leaves. Only one store- house remained and that was the small one. It was a disaster. Yes. sir, there what it was, a disaster. It was enough to discourage and worry any one.

It discouraged and worried Chet- terer. He sat around moping for so little while. but only for a lit- tle while. Then he went to work. The tirst thing to do was to find a new storehouse. ”It has got to be where no wind can break it open." thought Chatterer.

Now there really is only one place that is wholly safe from such a great wind as had swept through the Green Forest. That place is in the ground. While Chatterer is a tree Squirrel he is quite at home underground too. Now he ran this way. He ran that way. He ran the other way. All the time those bright eyes of his were seeking for the doorway of a possible new storehouse. At last he found it. It was between the roots of a big old stump. it had been dug there a long time be- fore and was well filled with old leaves and dirt. Chatterer went to work. He pulled out those dead leaves. He cleaned out the dirt. There was a passage way back underneath the roots. It was just what he wanted. It was dry un- der there in spite of the heavy rains that had come with the great storm. .Chat1.erer's spirit soared. He is like that. Once he had the place cleaned out he went to look for things to put into it. There were no nuts on the trees now. They had long since fallen and most of them had been eaten or hidden away in the storehouses of nut-loving folk. You remember that Chatterer had had his share and perhaps more. Gathering supplies had been easy then. Now it would be the hardest kind of hard work. He would have to ry to lind as much as possible of his old store of food. That meant digging around in the leaves and earth where his old nius ”

had been.

Chatterer does not have pockets in his cheeks like Striped Chip- munk, so it isn't as easy for him to carry nuts and seeds for a distance as it is forhis small strip- ed cousin. But he didnt let this discourage him. Sometimes he could tuck a nut in each cheek and carry another in his teeth. His tongue was still now. You know Chatterer is naturally noisy, especially when he has nothing special to do. Now he had work to do. Furthermore he didn't want others to know what he was do- ing. But others soon found out. Returning from his storehouse he found his bigger cousin, Happy Jack the Grey Squirrel, digging around where those supplies had been scattered. He tried to drive Happy Jack away but he conldntt do that and hunt for his supplies at the same time. So he wisely made the best of the worst and didn't stop to quarrel. He almost ran his legs or! running between the scattered supplies and the new storehouse.
