CONTRACT BRIDGE

By B. JAY BECKER

|

1. One notrump. Special rules of bidding apply when the oppo- nents die at a low rt score contract and the last bidder has the choice of passing or contest- ing the part score. The last bid- bed—in this case, South—is said to be in the balancing position. Rather than give up the hsnd when the opponents betray weak- ness, the last bidder frequently keeps things going with less values than the bid he makes would normally indicate. Thus, in this hand, South may balance with a notrump bid even though he has less than the 16 to 18 points customarily required for such a call. Because of the bal- anced distribution, the notrump bid is preferable to a takeout

Alberta's Fur Trade Fading, Quick Survey Would Indicate

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE. Alta. (CP) — A“century ago men died to protect their fur lines in this foothills area 100 miles north- west of Calgary. Today, fur trap- ping is only a part-time job for a handful of Indians and white men. Only a few old-timers are keep- ing the fur business alive and once they are gone, it is unlikely any one will take their place. Young Indians, who in former years would spend their lives on the trap lines, seek more profit- able jobs in the lumber camps oi road gangs.

Six white men and about 10 elderly Indians set their traps this winter, but report that so far returns have been poor. They

weasels, the two furs that could make trapping profitable.

MORE QUIT YEARLY

Each year, moré of the veter- ans stay at home. Ivor Thompson, for example, who for 30 years plodded up and down the North Saskatchewan River and has the only registered trap line nortn- west of the river, saidethis year there wouldn't be enough profit to warrant any effort.

Finding a market is the biggest, difficulty. M. A. Wolkove, for many years the only full-time fur buyer in the area, died last sum- mer and most of this year’s catcn will be sold in either Calgary or Edmonton.

The trappers say changes in women's styles are the biggest factors influencing the decline of the fur market. Long-haired ani- mals are old fashioned, replaced by short synthetic furs, cheaper and easier to handle.

In 1943 a good fisher pelt drew $55; this year the same pelt is worth $18. Fifteen years ago beaver sold for $30: today, for less than one-third the price. Fox and marten once were worth $35 but reached a top price of only $11 this year. :

The post did a booming business with the natives. The Blackfoot,! Bloods, Sarcees, Crees and Sto- meys brought their pelts to the post from miles around eac! . spring, exchanging them for hunt ing equipment and groceries.

The post was closed in 1875 when a bush fire destroyed the buildings and wasn’t reopened un-| til 1900 to deal with an influx of! homesteaders from the east.

Test Field Sown | Vegetable Crops |

'

OTTAWA, — Vegetables that are usually started in cold fram- es are being seeded directly into; the field at the Experimental! Farm, Charlottetown, and con-| siderable saving of labor is} achieved thereby, claims G. C.| Warren, horticulturist.

A three-year test of cauliflow-| per, broccoli and brussel sprouts| showed that the plants that were|- field-sown matured. only two! two weeks later than plants field! set at the same time, and matur- ed a month quicker than plants

seeded in cold frames at the same time and transplanted later.

The argument against direct | seeding has been largely one of seed waste, but this can be cut | by thoroughly preparing the ground and by using a seed spac-| ed. Seed should be carefully
