JA COBY - ON

cuzasta

For Beginners — 1

In our last lesson we watched a hand of Canasta through the first play. West made that first play, and it is now North's turn to act.

As it happens, North has a red three among his eleven cards. He doesn't need to look too closely at the rest of his cards, since his first step is to put that red three down on the table and draw the top card of the stock to replace it.

In doing so he has followed a general rule or Canasta. When- ever you find a red three in your hand you must put it down on the table at your first opportunity. If it is dealt you. the time to put it d-own is at your first turn to play. If you draw a red three from the stock, you put it down then and there.

The red threes have nothing to do with the play; they are simply bonus cards. You get a bonus of 100 points for each red three put- down by your side. If your side’ puts down all of the red threes in the pack, you get 300 points for those four red threes.

Those bonuses are scored only if you manage to meld something or other before the hand ends. If the hand ends before you have melded the red threes count against you instead of for you. In other words,

Brownies.

you would be minus 100 points for each red three, or minus 800 polntsl for all four of them.

Now for one special word of warning on this point: If anybody tells you that you need a canasta to get credit for your red threes, don't listen to him. There is no such rule and there never has been

such a rule. I get hundreds of questions s week on that point alone!

Iif you Look hard enough. you will find people who follow all sorts of strange rules; but ninety-nine players out of a hundred stick to the official rules. Those are the "Um I dlsculs in this column.

Save these simple installments. If you're a beginner, you'll soon be able to profit from the tips given in the second part of each article. If you're an experienced. player, save the first half to teach the game to others.

For Experienced Players —- ‘I

At the beginning oi a hand you must often decide quickly. and without seeming to be thinking about it, whether or not to take the discard pllc. If it becomes ob- vious that you are considering the discard. your opponent will know something important about the cards that you hold. ,

For example. you might be the dealer at the beginning of 3 game. with these cards in your hand:

A—K—J—10—-8 8-6-8 5-5 2

The other three players draw from the stock and 'make their discards without - melding, When your turn comes, there are four cards in the discard pile, of which

Should you meld the sixes and the fives with your deuce, taking the discard pile? or should you look unconce ucu and wait until the pile gets bigger?

'If you meld. you will pick up four cards, meld seven, and dis- card one. After your discard you will have only seven cards In your hand.

If you were sure that you would get the discs/rd pile at your next turn. you would naturally pass this

pile up. There are, however. no guarantees. If you decide to draw from the stock, either opponent may take the pile before you get another chance at it.

Most fine players would take the pile in this situation. They would be happier if the pile contained more than four cards. They world refuse the pile it it contained few- er than four cards.

IN MEMORI

EDWARD W. ANDERSON

There passed away at the Via- mi. General Hospital. Halifax, on Sunday. February 19th. 1950. Ed- ward W. Anderson at the age of 49 years.

Although’ in failing health for some time his many friends ex- pected his recovery and when the news of his death came it was a shock to the whole community .

The Brownies with the largest SMILE - - -

The 8th Pack (Basilica) had tho Brownie Smile .all ready to Kljefg the Field Secretary on her V15“ Friday evening. they even knew where to keep it too. pretty smart

We worked and played like all good Brownies do. It is I very large Pack of Fairies. Elves. Pixies, Imps. Serizhts. and Little People and we all danced around the Toadstool. baby Owl must have been hiding because we couldint find him at all. All the I_3r0WlilES joined in finding the Fairy Gold and just loved the new way to find it. We did knots for a while and the following Brownies passed the Reef like magic. Alice Noon- Shirley Flynn. Ma:-saret Hughes. Paula Noonan. Mary Mc- Cabe. Ruth Brown. Annette Mao- Quaid. Virginia MacDougall. MB- tilda MacQuaid. Agnes MacDon- ald. Joan Phillips. Virginia Mac- MacQuaid, Marilyn Doyle, Carol Clayton and Marie MscQuuld. This was the first step to- wards the Golden Bar and with the magic ropes left behind by the Field Secretary they will soon be passing the other knots too. A talk on those wicked little germs that attack us at times and the harm ilrey can do was listened to very intently especially when the Brownies saw a picture of the squiggly squirmy- germs. Clean- liness was emphasized and other points of the Health test for Brownies. Games were play- ed including the Dusky Blue- beills but as it is such a large Pack we were all very hot and “dusiy" Blue-bellis by the time the last Bluebell was mastered. We had a quiet period before going home wiih all the Brownies group- ed around for a story but even then the Brownies wanted to do some more‘ work. That's the -real Brownie spirit and how all meet- ings should end. with looking for- ward to joy and more scconolleh merits the next time. '

Central Royalty Brownies-—

Our Central Royalty Brownies had a real gala meeting on Wed- n y afternoon with members of the W. l. and many parents present to watch the presentation of Badges.
