AN ANXIOUI PAIR

Anxiety and love are twain. when dear ones suffer fright and

pain.

--Old Mother Nature. Over in the Old Pasture Reddy Fox and Mn. Reddy had their home. It was one of the best names they ever had had. They had raised a family the year be- (are, and one the year before that.

Now they had five lively young cubs playing about the doorstep, and getting their first lessons in hunting and other things a young Fox must know before setting out for himseli' in the Great World. Eeddy Fox is a good is- ther. Mrs. Reddy is a good mn- ther. No better parents live in the Green Forest, the Old Pasture, or on the Green Meadows.-While the

”They will be all right, so don't woi-ry," Reddy would say.

cubs were very small. father and mother had comparatively little to worry about. The Old Pasture is a part of Farmer Brown's farm, and no hunting of any of the furred

is allowed.

Once in a great while Bowscr the Hound slips away and chases Reddy or Mrs. Reddy just for fun. He always gets a scolding when he returns home, and he doesn't do it vcry often. Also, he has been taught to keep away from the Old Pasture. so, the baby Foxes had grown without harm or fright until they were big enough to be taking lessons in Foxy ways of living. Now, thanks to Gray Fox. there was plenty of trouble around that home in the Old Pasture. Gray Fox had been chased by a Dog on another farm, and had led that Dog straight to that home in the Old Pasture.

Of course he had discovered right away that not one, but several of the Fox folk, whom no so delighted to hunt, were living there. After that, whenever he got a chance to slip away, he visit- ed the Old Pasture to try to catch one of those young cubs. It was then that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy began to worry.

It takes much food to feed five lively growing children, and Red- dy and Mrs.'Reddy spent most of their time hunting. or course food wouldn't come to them. Cer- tainly not. They had to go hunt for it, and that meant. leaving those young Foxes by themselves at the home in the Old Pasture. Of course they were told not to leave the doorstep, and of course that was the very first thing they did do as soon as father and mo- ther were out of sight.

Reddy and Mrs. Reddy knew it. but there was nothing they could do about it. When they could, one ucnt hunting while the other stayed at home. But as the cubs grew bigger and bigger, and live- her and livclicr, it was seldom

m Mrs. Culbertson continues

the presentation of the new Culbertson point-count ine-

thoci. -mm-j-T-1-j:

Suit Takeouio of Partner's Suit-

Bid In responding to partner's 'open- ing suit-bid with a suit 0! your own, value your trump suit in high cards. of course, and Add 1 point for each card over four cards; then treat partner's suit as a side suit, counting 1 point for each card you hold in it, over three.

A suit takeout at the one-level- the one-over-one-is the cheapest possible response and consequently has the lowest requirements. Whereas 6 points are needed for I one-notrump takeout, you may bid a suit of your own, if you can do so without increasing the level. with as little as 5 points. However. since this bid is forcing for one round, it also may be made on a very strong hand, with as many as 18 or more points (although with this strength you should usually prefer a. ganie-forcing jump-take- on ).

To bid a lower-ranking suit over partner's opening suit-bid re- quires more strength because it increases the contract. The min- imum for a two-over-one takeout is 10 points. This call also is of course forcing for one round, and your strength may range up to 18 points or beyond.

Here are examples of correct suit takeouts of partner's opening one-heart hid: '

that father and mother didnt have to be hunting at the same time.

So it was that Rcddy and Mrs. Roddy were an anxious pair. They worried when they were off hunt- ing; they worried when they were hurrying home. lest they would find that something dreadful had happened while they were away: they worried when they were at home for fear that something would happen the next time they

In cases where you could pro- perly raise partnei"s bid but could also bid a suit of your own. your decision should be made largely on this basis: Prefer to raise part- ner ii your suit takeout would be a minimum values, but show your suit if you have a maximum or -near-maximum point count. This is Just another way of saying that it is usually wise to have some- thing, a point or two, to spare in your various responses.
