Perhaps West's weakish spade overcall helped to lead South astray in his play at six diamonds-but it should not have!

The spade king was the opening lead. Dummy‘s ace won and de- clarer promptly led the diamond three to his own ace. East, not being a novice. had played the four —he had not sacrificed the jack —-and therefore when the diamond ace brought nothing but a low spade from West, the contract was hopeless.

Spade overcall or no spade over- call by West, declarer should have taken the precaution to make a standard safety play in trumps. The right technique, when missing the king-jack-smail of the trump suit, with, dummy's and South's holding as shown, is to lead s. low

card from dummy and. if East fol- laws low, to put in the ten (or even the five in this case). If this loses to West, declarer knows that there is only one trump still out, and whether it is the king or a loser

on a post on a high bank from which he could look up the Big River and down the Big River. A little way farther along the thigh bank ended and the shore - was very low, and for a long way ‘out ln the Big River the water ,\vas shallow. In it the wild rice had grown lush and tall. In sum- mer it had looked like a great green Meadow in the water. Now it was brown and broken down. Much of the new seed had fallen to the muddy bottom. How Mrs. Quack and some of the other Duck folk did love that rice! Under the bent and broken stalks they from sharp-eyed enemies. Undlsturbed they could feast to their stomachs‘ content {Often Blacky heard them talking and calling to one another there, One was calling now. "Quack, quack, quack," sounded a lone voice. it was repeated at intervals, but there was no'reply. Out just beyond the edge of the rice field Blacky could see a. dozen Ducks on the water. Why dldn‘t iany of them answer that call? [Why ‘didn't they swim about at ‘least a little? Blacky wondered I Presently that quacking became a little louder. Far up the Big River a. moving black line came into view. Blacky's sharp eyes saw it and knew it for what. it was, a flock of Ducks flying low over the Quack the Mallard Ducks were leading their flock down from the North on their way to the Sunny

| But the flying flock had seen them and had heard that lone voice calling. The leader began to turn and the others followed, as is the way with Ducks. With a series of light splashes they landed on the water. For a. few minutes they sat with their heads held high as they looked at the other flock and the tempting field of rice and listened to the inviting call coming from its midst. Then they began to swim in.

Blacky flew out over the rice. At once he saw what he expected to see a boat hidden in the brown stalks. It in was a hunter. “Caiv caw. caw! Gun! gun! gun." shrieked Blacky. He saw the outer flock take wing again, but the others didn't move. ’I'hey iverre decoys. He chuckled as he hurried out of danger from that dreadful gun. He had done his good deed for that day.

The other is the fact that in- dustry in the United States already is dispersing on a big scale. This scattering out over large spaces ls the best defence against atom bombs.
