JULY 19, 1952 By Thornton rm: roo smanr one Be smart, but not too smart, lest you May lose because you overdo. --Raddy Fox. Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy were proud of their five children. That was natural. All parents are proud of their children, at least while they are little. The five cubs were rm-y much alike in looks, but very unlike in some other ways. It is always that way in a large family WI children, and it is a good thing It is so. As often happens in a alg family one was a little smarter him his brothers and sisters. Al- .IayS he was the first to do some- hing now. lie had been the first W. Burgess to poke his head out of the door- way of their home in the Old Pas- ture. He had been first to go whol- ly out and sit on the doorstep and wonder at all the strange things he saw. He had been first to go hunting, and first to bring home a Mouse. He was smart. There was no doubt about that. "He is one of the smartest children we have ever had," dec- lared Mrs. Raddy. "I hope he isn't too smart for his own good," replied Reddy. but there was pride in his eyes as he watched his smart young son. "How can anyone be too smart?" Mrs. Reddy wanted to know. "Be- ing too smart for your own good isn't being smart at all." DAILY (including Suml From each terminal wherc, by making application day from each tormlnnl.

Meanwhile, the smart one continued to be smart. He knew that he was smart, and was proud of his smartness. Smart folk sometimes get that way. It got so that he thought he was quite as smart as his father and mother, and I suspect sometimes he thought he was smarter than they. Children do get that way. "I don't see why father and mo- ther have to watch us all the time," said he to his brothers and sisters. "1 for one can take care of myself. I don't like being watched as if I were still a baby. Nobody's going to catch me." So, because he felt so smart, this little Fox began to wander farther and farther away from home. Because nothing happened the first day he went a little far- ther the second day. Because no- thing happened the second day he went a little farther the third day. Reddy Fox noticed this, but said nothing. He let the little Fox go a little farther the following day, but he stopped him the next day. "You have hunted as far as it is safe for you to hunt," said Red- dy. "There's no danger. I'm not al- raid," replied little Mr. Too-Smart. "That is just the trouble; you should be afraid," said Reddy. "I don't see why I should be af- raid when there is nothing to be afraid of," declared little Mr. Too- Smart. He was just a little saucy in the way he said it. THE GUARDIAN, UI'1A.i(LU'1'I'i5l.UWN 'Ot'0"9 KING or THE ROYAL MOUNTED ,9u-om-Q-c I contract Bridge I By Jasepbllulcuiberlson OsCr0DDr0OQ. Mrs. Culbertson continues the presentation of the new Culbertson point-count me- thod. Reblds by the Openln Notrurnp bidder . Tne opening notrump bidder has already indicated within narrow limits the strength of his hand. P "y. if partner responds in a suit, opener should not takeI any further strenuous action but should merely show whether his opening bid was minimum or max- imum, show good support for part- ner's suit, or under circumstances show a four-card major suit. With a minimum hand he should not accept any invitation from partner for a game or a slam; with a. maximum he should accept such invitations. If partner has made a Jump suit takeout, opener may raise or bid three notrump, but he should not initiate action beyond game. A slam invitation should come from partner. In the Culbertson System, whe- that the hand-valuation be by honor-tricks or point count, a minimum suit takeout of one no- trump is forcing for one round, consequently the opening no- trump bidder should respond follows: He should show a dable four-card major suit: or he should raise partner's suit with good support; or, with a maxi- mum notrump and two of the three top honors (A-K, A-Q, or K-Q) in partner's suit he should Jump to three notrump, or to four in partner's major suit. It partner's takeout was to two of a minor, opener may jump to three notrump. holding four cards headed by the B08. kins 9” Queen in partner's suit, with a maximum one no- trump; with otherholdlngs open- er should bid two notrump. He should not pass. Suppose South opened with one notrump and North responded with Raddy looked at him very hard. That look made little Mr. Too-Smart feel uncomforable; he didn't know just why. "You are stupid," said Reddy severely. "Only the stupid are not afraid." "Are you afraid?" asked little Mr. Too-Smart pertly. He thought that was a very smart question. "Yes," replied Reddy gravely. "All by life I've been afraid. All her life your mother has been af- raid. Had we not been afraid we wouldn't be here today. Fear, the right kind of being afraid, is part of the wisdom that everyone must have who will live long." This was a little too much for little Mr. Too-Smart. He didn't quite understand what Reddy meant. If he had he wouldn't have done what he did do just as soon as his father and mother were out of sight. ”I'm not afraid,” he muttered to himself. "He can't scare me. I'm smart enough to take care of myself. It is silly to be afraid when there is nothing to be afraid He looked around to make sure fouz us MA mxs W54 , , me 0: autlmv ME Mllllilr W1 wouI.I7 cu If NE on two spades. Opener holds: With this i8-point hand, the proper rebid is a jump to three notrump. However, if the hand is changed to: QQJ54 VK6 .0AQ-I-'I QKQ2 although opener once more 'lTa's 18 points, his liking for spades suggest a jump to game at that suit rather than any rebid of no- trump. that neither father nor mother was watching him. Then he crept under the fence onto,,,he Green Meadows where he never had been before. He hoped some of his bro- thers and sisters were watching him. He saw a Mouse run in the lzrass and promptly forgot every- thing else. By Walt Kelly .1bb9:4h,NA X 'IDPI4Y- ILOST THE CAN OPENER ANPG4N'T OVEN 5OUR W9 PO07! mI.eaN-'YouI.I. HAVETDQKIVLUNCH .
