North who did the gambling, wlml lie bid the Ql'llll(i slam, and his partner who did the good guessing; and playing.
West, well acquainted with Souths style, was sure the spade cue bid had been honest. and so tried the desperation lead of a low club. This raised an immediate problem for the dcclarcr. Obvi- ously, somethlng would have to be done about the heart loser-the
queen, jack and ten could not very!
well fall in two leads! So South would not only have to set no a couple of discards-onc.in spades and one in clubs-but he would also have to find another trick! South knew West to be ii crafty player-he might well have led from the club kiu simply to dis- courage a finesse in that suit. South decided, however, that the club king should lie with East. for his bid; so South put up dummy's club ace. cashed two high trumps. ending in dummy, and then led the club queen through East.
East correctly covered the club queen, not wanting to waste his king on the next possible lead of the nine-spot. and south ruffed. A trump put dummy in again for the lead of the spade king, and now East's ace was ruffed away. Final- ly, declarer simply ran the rest of his trumps, discarding a heart rind the low spade from dummy. when he then cashed the heart ace and the spade queen, West was squeez- ed-he had to abandon either his heart or his club stopper.

Editorial Sparks Hot Debate Over care of children
EDMONTON, March 31-(CP)- would you enter a strange house if a baby was crying and there was no one home?
Better think twice before 3'0'l1 answer or you may find yourseif in a jam.
An Edmonton bill collector pro- vided the spark to ii red hot de- bate recently when he heard I baby crying but no one answered his repeated knocks on the door.
Fearing something was amiss,he went in, found no one at home and comforted the child. Later. he discovered the child's mother vis- iting a neighbor.
The next day an editorial in the Edmonton Journal criticized the mother for leaving her child alone and praised the collector for his action.
The editorial pointed out that leaving small children alone at home often resulted in tragic fires and accidents. It said "the collect- or's thoughtfulness might easily have been the means of prevent- lng such an outcome."
At this point the mother entered the fray defending her action in a letter to the editor. She claimed she only left the child for a few minutes to attend a neighbor ill with pleurisy.
The babyls crying, she contend- ed, did it no harm and she re- buked the bill collector for enter- ing her home without. permission
The collector. a father of three children, answered in another lat- ter thnt he thought it was his duty to investigate the child's cries.
"I believe," he wrote, ”that a home should be a sanctuary and that if any of my children are ever in distress there will be some good samaritan, be he collector. inilkmaii or just passer-by who will have the consideration and thoughtfulness to render assistanie ..which I tried to do."
That should have ended the matter but by now the public had taken notice of the affair and soon the Journal started receiving indignant letters. some criticizing the collector and others the mo- ther.
some people thought the collect- or should be prosecuted as a tres- passer and others congratulated him on his action.
One woman said "he was just a redblooded being who heard a baby's cry and naturally went to see what he could do to help."
other letter, signed "two mo- then who occasionally let their children cry," asked:
"How would anyone feel. if ev- ery time her bab cried. some complete stranger ere to walk in expecting to find a neglected baby."
And so it went pro and con for almost two weeks until the Jour- nal finally appended this note to the end of its editorial page:
"With today's letters, the debate on the collector is closed."
