We made three, but it was a poor result. SUSPICIOUS, Boston. ANSWER It is good practice to use the redouble to indicate some high cards and a willingness to double the opponents. 'If your right-hand opponent bids after your redouble, you would double two spades, hearts or diamonds, and would pass two clubs to your partner, the message being: "I can't double this, but I have a few points. What do you think?" Incidentally, the idea that you thought partner was psyching worked against you.

This practice is a loser in the long run. Here you could have bid two no-trump after partner's two clubs and gotten back on the right track, except for the worry that partner had nothing but clubs. ceived a nip on his rump for the trouble. The color slide won a major prize and a trip to Hawaii for Don McFarland of Ft. Worth, Texas, in last year's Kodak Snapshot Awards.

MAD DOG? NO, MAD PONY This German shephard evidently annoyed the mustang pony until the latter's patience ran out and put his speed to the test. But the canine, try as he might, could not outrun his adversary and re THE CAMERA EYE The bidding: North 2A 5 6 South 3 4 NT 5 NT 7S? Fun galore at Photo Fair LOST A GRAND, Chicago. ANSWER I assume the five-club bid showed zero or all four aces, and this information was also known by West. Normally, I would play the ace. But this situation, where dummy is known to hold four greatly increases the chances that West is making a sneaky lead from K-6 of trumps.

My, play would have to be influenced by my knowledge of the person on lead. Is he an average player, a clever player, imaginative, Was the lead made casually or was it made deliberately after prolonged thought? Unless the above considerations were to sway my feelings, I would play the ace at the first trick. DEAR MR. CORN The opponents bid one- no-trump. three no-trump.

I led the heart 10, hoping to set up partner's suit. I was told this was very wrong. However, my partner's reasons Tseemed to be based upon results rather than logic. Please give me the straight A 10 7 IK, 0 8 642 "yi--- 9 7 653 WRONG AGAIN? Shreveport. ANSWER With this hopeless hand, you were probably right not to lead a -club.

Since the opponents did not look for a major suit fit, it was reasonable to assume that partner had length in either spades or hearts, or. both. The argument against leading a heart Is simple. If you find partner with five of it means the opponents have It is likely that declarer will attack hearts himself and your heart lead may easily help him play the suit to his best advantage. Only if partner has six hearts "is the lead likely to help him and, even then, only occasionally.

My choice would be the spade jack. Boston models. They will be on stage in the Sheraton's grand ballroom for visitors to "shoot" with their own cameras to their a t's content. There should be a lot of fun that weekend. And that goes for Kodak's famous clowns who will add to all the excitement.

There will be a program of films, exhibits and lectures on the latest in photography showing developing and projection techniques. Professionals and amateurs alike are going to get an education. The giveaway prizes will include cameras and projectors, film and TV sets, not to mention a Caribbean trip for two via American Airlines. If you think your old camera has just about had it, you may do a bit of trading toward a new one. Admission to the International Photo Fair is $1, but Lechmere's, in its three stores, has half-price tickets just for the asking.

Don't forget the date: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 2, 3 and 4. The University Film Association will give six film scholarships to students in the pursuit of careers in film production, writing, teaching, history, aesthetics or criticism. By Jay Hatch We often have mentioned the beauty of Aus trian stamps and do so again because recent ones underscore it. Just a few weeks ago there was a two schilling of most simple, yet most effective design that seeks to impress upon the public the need for highway safety for children. The scene on the stamp is of the face of a surprised child seeing the approaching headlights an automobile.

Behind it is Austria's anxiety because 10 percent f' fatal highway accidents this past year in Austria killed youngsters up to 14. There is a similar anxiety in other nations. This month Austria began its new art series of stamps with a trio picturing a florentine bowl of about 1580, an ivory statuette of Emperor Joseph I made in 1693 and a world-famous salt-cellar made by the great Italian artist Cellini. All are presented with exquisite clarity, each a little gem in itself. Early next month Austria will have a 3,50 s.

From the scenes you'd wonder how it could be more beautiful. Flag fans will delight in a set of four released by Singapore for the 1971 meeting there in January of the British Commonwealth's heads of government. Three of the four present the flags of 31 nations represented. On March 31, Papua and New Guinea will release a quintet picturing mammals of the territory in natural colors.

Something about "Photography Is Fun." And fun it's going to be at the International Photo Fair which begins Friday, April 2, at the Sheraton-Boston, Prudential Center. The three-day fair will run through Sunday, April 4. It has been many years since Boston has had a major photography show. Sponsored by Lechmere Sales, the exposition will have a full-scale camera and photography display. We don't remember the last time that international exhibitors and manufacturers of camera equipment displayed their newest products.

The hotel's grand ballroom complex will have an array of 40 booths, with representatives from such well-known companies as Ansco, Kodak, Bell Howell, Argus, Bolex, Fu-jica, Minolta and Castle Films, to name a few. All these companies will demonstrate how their lat-' est equipment operates and how to get better results from any of their cameras or facsimiles.

The Class A-l champion Cardinals of Beverly will appear at this show in a special exhibition.

Two more units to go inactive this year are the Braintree Braves and Immaculate Conception Queens Cadets drill team. In senior corps circles, a rejuvenated Connecticut Yankees are expected to make themselves known after a long siege of mediocrity. Reports from the Nutmeg State reveal that the famed Hurricanes' drum line has switched allegiance and will be on the starting line for '71.

and i I'! -v 4 "-V :K.K By Herb Cole That their color guard season, this winter, has not been marred by accidents, and injuries still has not slackened the drive, of EMass circuit officials for maximum safety precautions. Youngsters twirling and flipping rifles and sabers are prone to self-inflicted harm if their attention is distracted even for a split second. Latest cause for anxiety is the innocent-looking flash bulb and its use at color guard contests. Popping bulb at the same instant a saber-bearer is retrieving the blade she had tossed in the air could be extremely perilous were she temporarily blinded by the flash. The ironical part is that in most it's either a parent booster or close friend taking "the picture, neither of whom would endanger the object of their shutterbugging.

EMass president Paul Crooker and chief coordinator Louis Maniscalco strongly advise spectators to refrain from using flash bulbs during" unit's performance on the floor.

Starting time at McHugh Forum, Boston College, js 11:30 a.m. With the chips down, extra practice sessions will be held this week to polish off any visible, flaws in routines. Each entry will be honed to razor sharp readiness. For some, it's a determined bid to improve what may have been a fair season, while for others, it represents an opportunity to top off impressive records with titular crowns. A large turnover in membership between seasons has impeded the progress of the Nashua Spartans.

Here is a game from the Met League between two high school boys Tom O'Donnell of Quincy, now fully recovered from his auto accident, and Rich Parker of Brookline.
