The average player is better off when he doesn't hold two-suited hands. Then he is not in a quad- ary over when the second suit should be shown ,or if it should beishown at an. Here's a typical case:

South dealer. . Both sides vulnerable. 1 2 Q A K 10 I 0 K J 2 Q K 7 6 3 . Q A 6 A A 9 4 8 via: N :33: O A E Q. Q 10 4 Wg 4 I .. g , A R Q J 10 8 5 Q 2 Q 8 4. A J 5 5 2 The bidding; South W'eet Nortli East 1 A Pass 2 N T Pass 3 5 Pass 5 Q. Pass Pass Dble. Redble. Pass Pass Pass

West laid down the ace of dia- monds, and he could then afford to wait for his sure trick: in spades and clubs. So East-West collected

I00 points. The fault for this outcome was Snuthis - he should not have

'i'l'iCntlOntd" his club suit. Hts open- ing bid. though justified by the iistributzon. uas light in top cards;

therefore, despite North's encour- azing HVSDCHSE of two notrump, iherc uas certainly no reason to

feel that the best game contract might be at clubs.

Perhaps a better way nf putting the matter is that South's major suit was obviously long and strong enough to stand cn its own feet without support from North, and, that being true. there was no point in South's asking his Piirtner to take a choice between suits. It South had been generally stronger in top cards. his threc-club bid would have been logical because it would help to investigate slam pos- sibilities, but South's actual hold- ing did not warrant this optimism. thus. since South could not reason- ably envisage better than game, he should have confined himself to the major suit.

CHUCK Hill)! A WAENING

Who sees and meets his neighbors need,

Thus proves to be a frleiid indeed. -Old Mother Nature.

Over in the Green Forest the Crooked Little Path winds this way and turns that way, and at last comes to a rocky ledge. It is all rocks and stones. Nothing green grows there. This is because there is no earth for the roots to go -down in. The rocks and stones look as if they had been tossed there by a great giant, Among them are many hiding places for the smal- ler folk in fur. It was in this ledge of jumbled rocks that Buster Chuck. who had wandered into the Green Forest and become lost there, had made his home.

It was a good place for a home for some folks. Along the lower edge of that ledge were many green things, such as a Wood- chuck likes to eat. All around the ledge grew tall trees. Here and there was an opening where a tree. or perhaps two or three. had been blown down in some great storm. In one place several trees had fal- len one on top of another in some storm long ago. They made a pile which is called a windfall. A wind- fall is a wonderful place for the smaller folk in fur, because they can creep under it and hide.

At first Buster Chuck thought he had no neighbours. At least he was sure one were living near him. He had discovered he Was mis- taken. Prickly Porky the Porcupine had in home in that pile of rocks, but he wasn't there much. Pricke ly Porky isn't what would be called a home lover. Then Trader the Wood Rat had appeared. He had

a home down in among those rocks. Buster Chuck wasn't afraid of eith- er Prickly Porky or Trader the Wood Rat..Nelther of them would try to hurt him. But now he found there was another neighbor living somewhere higher up in the ledge. It was Yowler the Bobcat, and Yowler was someone to be afraid of. very much afraid of.

Of course the young chuck knew nothing about Yowler and his ways, but did know that he was some- body to watch out for. Perhaps it was because he saw Yowler's sharp teeth when Yowler y-wned, open- ing his mouth very wide. Then, too, Jumper the Hare had warn- ed him to keep out of Yowler's way. so it was that the young chuck became very, very careful about leaving the safety of his home. He looked long and care- fully on sll sides before ventur- ing out. He was hungry. He had overslept that morning, and it was when he was going to start out for breakfast that he first saw Yowler. He tried to forget that he was hungry. He w lit back down to his bedroom and stayed there for a long time. At last he felt sure that the way must be clear. sitting in his doorway looking this way and that way carefully, he

At last he decided that he was '.:t . .l.uliV afraid. He came out on his doorstep and set up straight for a good long look.

"Cswl Caw! Cswi" called Blacky the Crow from the top of a tall tree. It was a warning. The young chuck needed it. He darted back into the passage down among the rocks.
