Every day bright, hot, round Mr. Sun climbed up in the blue, blue sky smiling his broadest. Every evening he went to bed behind the Purple Hills still smiling. Every day human folk in‘ cities and vil- lzigcs and cvcn out in the country sulicrctl from the heat. and com- plained bitterly‘. lt was so with Grcr-n Forest and Green Meadow folk.

"There isn't a comfortable place in all the Green Forest," com~ plains-d Lichtfoot the Deer. He was growing a new set of antlers and lhis made him uncomfortable. The hcat made him more so.

"It is too hot to fly," complained Blacky the Crow. But fly he must if he would eat. and of course he had to rlo that.

It seemed as if everybody every- whore- wris discontented and un- happy. Anyway ii seemed so to

Contract Bridge

By Josephine Culbertson

Making The Best of Things The opponents made it difficult for North-South to reach the best contract in today's deal, but South should have done considerably bet- ter with the contract he was in!

As may he seen 0P l INEQ- Norih easily could have made six hearts. and. for that matter, South could have made 51X clubs. Yet it was not. entirely the fault of either North nr South that the actual five-diamond contract was reached ~—the obstructive tactics of East and \Vest were difficult to over- come, North felt that if he pass- ed ovcr West's four spades, South could not look to hlrn (North) for nearly as much help as he had, and he therefore chose to bid five diamonds. He felt that he could not afford to bid five hearts, be- cause if South had no support for that suit. he mirzht be forced to bid six in one of his own minor suits.

As it happened, of course, South was rcndy to protect himself over four spnrlcs, if North had passed ii’. around to him, by bidding five clubs or oven four notrump, but when ihc five-diamond call was made hy North, South felt that he could not afford to investigate fur- iher.

West opened the spade ace and lcd a second round, which South ruffed. South cashed the diamond king, snw East's quccn fall. and promptly hanged down ihe dia- mond ace! After that, needless to say. he had no chance for his con-

dropping ihe diamond queen, the safety play for South was tn lend a low diamond toward the ten. Whatever West chose to rln. this would lmld him on one diamond trick, and he could not "force" declare-rs hand by another spntlp lend, since dummy‘; trump would he thcre for rufflnil pur-

W: _ ‘I V’ “All the berries are drying up," complained Buster Bear

Peter Rabbit and he said so. Even over in the Smiling Pool there were complaints. The water got lower day by day and Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat were worried. If it got much lower their house would no longer be ln the water. It wouldn’t be safe then.

"We may have to go down to the Big River to live, and l don't want to do that,” complained Jerry, Mrs. Jerry’ felt the same way.

Every day everybody looked up on the blue, blue sky hoping to see rain clouds, but all they sew was the smiling face of Mr. Sun. and the broader his smile the hotter they felt. Even Grandfather Frog complained and was discon- tented. The water had become so low that he could no longer climb out on his favorite big green, lily pad. He wasn't worried like Jerry Muskrat and Mrs. Jerry. No matter how low the water got he wouldn't have to go away. l-le could go down in the mud of the bottom and stay there until there should be more water. He would be safe and cool and perfectly comfortable down in the mud where he had spent every winter since he was a tadpole. But there was nothing to see, nothing to depend no one to speak to down there. He didn't want to go down in the mud to stay. He said so and he didn't care who heard him. l-le was dis- contented, very much discontented.

Spotty the Turtle was also dis- contented. The " water was too warm. The less there was of it the warmer it became. He too could go down in the mud if necessary and he perfectly comfortable. But he didn't want to go down in the mud.

Laughing Brook no longer laughed. Only here and there did it even gurgle. There was so little water in it that only out of polite- ness could if. be called a brook. There were some small pools, and these were crowded with too many Minnow; and other smell fishes. Many of them would not be able to live long that way. lilost of the bigger fish had gone down to the Smiling Pool and, as the water there grew too warm. had moved on down to the Big River. It really was no wonder that it seemed to Peter Rabbit everybody everywhere must be discontented and uncom- fortable and unhappy.

But Peter was mistaken. There were some contented ones, some who were not too hot, who were not worried by lack of water who didn't complain about anything. They were living far up Laughing Brook deep in the Green Forest on the Great Mountain. Their home was in a pond they had made themselves, and there was plenty 0f water. Can you guess who they were? And why they were so contented when exery one else, or almost every one, was so discon- tented? They were Paddy the Beaver and his family. They were the contented ones and Mother Nature smiled whenever she thought of them, for they had made their own contentment.
