West. with seven sure tricks andl 150 honors, felt that some pushing of the vulnerable opponents was in order, but after going to the five- level. West wisely resigned. For one thing. he had to fear that mother bid by himself would push the opponents into 1-1 makable slam.

As matters turned out. however. West did not have to do any further bidding. He laid down the king and queen of hearts. south ruffed the second round. drew trumps in one lead. and then. apparently feeling that West must have the diamond king for all his bidding, confidently took the dia- mond finesse, His confidence was rudely shattered when East cen- tured the oueen and returned the diamond jack. knocking! out the ace - and. incidentally, breaking up the double squeeze that might otherwise h ve been executed (as- suming that South was capable of that advanced playi.

Although. through the winter Summerslde had stored a govern- ment plow whlcli was available to the town at a low rental when not required in the country, it was felt that Summerslde did not get much advantage out of this arrangement and had no priority on the plow for use In the town when needed.

OTTAWA, Dec. 10-(Special)- The inclusion of an item for the first stage development of a new runway, 7,000 feet long at the Charlottetown airport is being comldered in the” Department of 'rrsnsport's 1953-54 estimates.

He noted that the South- ern states apparently preferred to have sebagoes and that they defin- ltely wanted ones of medium size rather than the large type.

Mr. Peppln warned, his listeners that both California and Florida had increased their potato acreage to a great extent and this would probably mean lower prices next year.
