Now Buster knew Prickly Porky and all about the thousand little spears called quills carried in his coat. He should have known also how obstinate Prickly Porky can be. Perhaps he did. but iorgot it.

N O T I C E To MOTORISTS

At this season of the year. the attention of motorists is directed to section 55(c) of The Highway Traffic Act. which reads as follows: .

"No person shall. while operating a mo- for vehicle. splash pedestrians or other per- sons with water or mud."

ter Bear actually had to back down a little or be slapped in the face by that tall, and that would have been nothing short or dread- tul. It would have meant gcttmg his iace filled with the sharp painiul little spears with which Prckly Porky's tail is armed.

Buster growled a warning as he backed. Prickly Porky took no no- tice. but kept on backing down, all the time swinging that hateiul tail. Buster backed down a little more. Finally in disgust he gave up and dropped out or that tree. Then. Prickly Porky stopped and made himseli comiortable where he was.

The bidding up to and including North's five-heart response to the Blackwood four notrump was exact- ly the same as would be produced by any reasonably competent part- ncrship. The rest of the auction, however. was iar more "delicate."

It was South's six-clubs bid and North's intelligent reading 0! that call which resulted in the lBXCEH- ent grand-slam contract. Obvious- ly, ii' South had been interested in only a small slam, he simply would - have bid six hearts over North's ilve hearts; hence. his actual six clubs could only be a. sounding- out or grand-slam possibilities. it was incredible. in the light oi . North's original pas. that South . could be hoping ior four iavorable conditions in the North hand, namely, good trump support. two aces. and either the club king or a singleton, and so (North reasoned) South must be concerned about third-round club control.

If North had held thre clubs he would have bid only six hearts, but. with his hand exactly what it was. he shrewdly went the limit.

South had no diiiiculty in the play - he simply ruiied dummy's two small spade in his own hand. -and at no time did he incur any serious risk.
