It's funny how a lot of people take a chance when they build l home. 'l‘hey go to all kinds of trouble with the plans. 'l‘he_v want. everything in-rluding a streamlined kitchen, the last word in bathrooms, picture windows, and a landscaped garden. The IllOlIt'_\‘ arrange- ments are perfect. In ten, hf- teen or twenty years, the home will he really theirs. Just ri-uu-

r payments, soiueu-lidt lllir‘ rent, only better, lll’\'\'lll5(‘ they get stun-ﬁlling nun-r lni" ilir-ir money than jll>l the prnllcga oi hung ill a house.

But what is this chance they lake? It's this: If death comes to the money-earner, the home may no longer he a. place of refuge for the family, but a source of debt and despair.__

And yet, by a perfectly sim- ple Sun Life Mortgage Protec- tion plan-only a slight addition to the monthly cost of paying for the housc——thc total balance oi the mortgage would he wiped uni in the event of death. Here's lll\' advice, Mr. Homeowner: "l)nn‘t take a chant-e.”

Let's talk things ovcr—todayl

West opened the spade four, the)

three was played from dummy, and East won with the ace.

There was no possible doubt about the fact that West's tour- spot had been a singleton. and, after staring at the dummy dis- consolately, East returned a shad:- to give his partner a ruff. West was glad to be obliging in that respect, but. after ruﬁing. hc was helpless! He did the best he could, laying clown the club ace to see it East would signal high in that suit. and after East play- ecl the lowest card missing, the seven, West shifted to a diamond in the remote hope that East could rufl‘, but successful defense was out of the question.

The defensive problem ln a deal like this is so simple that It can scarcely be digniﬁed by the term “problem”. East's immediate re- turn of a spade is a give-up play! Where are the other tricks to come from? Surely not in diam- oncls, and it can scarcely be hoped that West has either two club tricks, two heart tricks, or one club and one heart. The only reasonable hope is that West has the club ace! Acting on that chance. East obviously must re- turn the club queen at the sec- ond trick, and with the situation as shown, the defeat of the con- tract must follow. If South cov- ers, East gets back on load with the club jack for the spade re- turn and rut’; l! declarer docs not cover the cfub queen. East gives West the ruff immediately, and then West can lay down the club ace.
