Beauty the Wood Duck and Mrs. Beauty had spent the winter in the Sunny South as usual. Now they were back at the pond at Paddy the Beaver deep in the Green Forest. For several years thy had made their home near Paddy's pond. Thy loved it there. They had looked forward to gel- ting back this year. The first thing: Mrs. Beauty had done was to fly straight to the place where she had had her home last year. She was planning to use the same hollow tree. It wasn't there. No sir, that hollow tree wasn't there. l had been cut down during the winer.

This was most upsetting. "It means we've got to go house-hunt- inc lills year." said she to Beauty. "You know what that means. Hou- aes are hard to find these days."

Now to the Wood Duck folk houses are hollow trees. And hol- low trees were getting more and niure S('&il'('(' all through the Green Forest. They were being cut for iircironti and to make room for more good trees. So it was grow- ing harder and harder every year for folks who like to live in low trees to find homes.

03. One notrump. What we want to do is inform partner that the opening bid was a minimum. The rebid of one notrump is a sign off showing a balanced hand. A rebid of two clubs. the alternate bid to he considered. is also a sign off, but suggests. unbalanced distribu- tion and a longer club suit.

Q4. Four hearts. No risk should be taken that responder will pass under game. In this re- lpect the game bid carries the lune implications as in Q1. Atllin a slam is being invited, and again 1) points are guaranteed. but in this sequence some oi the points may be distributional. Once we grant partner a normal one heart llsponse. it does not look ,like four tricks will be lost. It is bet- ter to take the chance of going down in (our hearts than to bid three hearts. running the risk that partner will pass. The point is that even if he justifiably passes thrcc hearts we should still want to be In game.
