For most of the people who live in the Green Forest, winter is n nard time. It is hard. not only hw- -ausc Jack Frost and Rough Brn- iixer North Wind are at their worst nost at the time, but because inr many of them tood is dimcrult to get. The only ones who do not go hungry much of the time are the thrifty ones like the Squirrel folk, who store up food while there was plenty of it. and Dhc bark enters like Prickly Porky the Porcupine and Jumper the Hare and Paddy the Beaver,

So it is that there is much emu- piaining during the cold winter months. But Jumper the Hare makes no complaints You never hear him whining.

”Cumplainitig and whining nmr-r gt-t aiiytliimz, so what's the usIe”" says Jumper. Hr lik:-s the winter. He likes ice and snow, especially snow. He likes it for two reasons. One is that it is white. and his coat being white makes it easy for him to be right in ni-iin Siilllii and still tint be seen. Tlin..sccond i snn is that hr has just the right kind of fret for getting around on snow that others have to wade through. Thus it is easy for Jumper to escape his nnemirs.

"STANDARD" LEADS NOT AL- WAYS BEST

When the average player chooses an opening-lead, he is apt to think very well of a suit headed by A-K, because the king lead cannot im- mediately cost him a trick. This. however, may be a very short.- sightcd way of looking at things. Consider:

South dealer. Neither aide vulnerable. 4 Q .110 9 s VQ5 Q in 9 4 3 Q62 52 4 73 Q K J 10 N O A5 92 W E Q QJ85 9 AK 62 S (HQ! 10 1.95 84 4Axs4 08743 7 h'.AK73 The bidding" South Vvest North East 1 q, 1 Q Pass Pass 1 A 2 Q 2 5 3 O 5 Q Pass 4 Q Pu! Pu: Pau Wrst didn't evrn hnsirata - no

Dummy won. and South ruffed a diamond. He then ciislirtl the top clubs and trumped a club nu the table. An- otherdiauioml lead was rulied by South with the king, another club was ruffed in dummy, and the last. diamond was trumped with the ace. This gave South eight tricks. and the high trumps -. still on the table - insured the contract.

It West had stopped to think before making his opening lead he might have reached a sound conclusion -- that there weren't enough honor cards in the deck to justiiy all the i)id(i1l1g he had heard, and that. consequently. North-South must be counting on distributional asseis, Another term for such assets is the ability to run. and the nut: way to destroy that ability is In lruri trumps. early and as oitvu as possible.

Observe that a trump lead would have been "the killer." South would win and return a diamond, but another defensive trump lead would give him an insoluble problem.

Usually, the purpose or trump leads is to reduce dummy's ruiting
