7th Murphysboro HILLYER mm Murphysboro By Oswald and James Jacoby Dorothy Hayden's book entitled "Bid Better, Play Better" has just appeared in a paper-back ediiton. Like all bridge books, we can't endorse everything in it, but we can state that thera is a great deal of good bridge common sense in it. Today's hand, taken from it, shows how to bid a grand slam by locating specific cards in partner's hand by cue bids. Some players wouldn't open the South hand with a forcing bid. The Jacobys aren't included in that group.

True, you can set up a North hand that won't let South make game somewhere, but bridge players should not wait for absolute certainties. Once South docs open with two spades, North is interested in a slam but should not make any really aggressive move. Instead he should raise to three spades to show strength and spade support. At this point South assumes that there will be no losers in trumps and wants to locate two key cardsthe ace of diamonds and the king of clubs. Blackwood will let him find out how many aces and kings North holds, but he doesn't care about LAKE MURPHYSBORO PLANTS STUDIED Robert H.

He is showing second round control. This is enough for South. He goes to the grand slam and spreads his hand as soon as East follows to the first trick. 11 MA. kc TM.

NOW CLOSING OUT 1967 MODELS rap LEE and Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 17-year-old girl who hopes you will continue to print letters about alcholism and the harm it does. This is what happened at our house last week. When I got home from school Mom was in bed, which was not unusual.

At dinner time she didn't get up and I figured she was sleeping off a hangover so I started to fix supper for Dad and us kids. Dad came home at six and went in to check Mom. He came out cf the bed room white as a ghost. "Mom's dead," he said and went to the phone and called the police. When he returned to the bedroom he yelled, "She moved call the police and tell them not to come.

Call the doctor instead." Well, the police came any way, and so did the doctor and so did the newspapers, and it made the front page and everybody is talking about it. My sister and I can't hold up our heads at school and my father is ready to change jobs because everybody at the garage where he works is making jokes. Peo ple are going to talk about this forever and there's nothing we can do about it.

I asked her if she planned to carry the Christmas spirit into Easter. "Oh," she sighed, 'I can't throw the cards out until I record the names of the senders." When I asked what that was all about, she explained that the record is for next year. Her reply was, "We send cards only to people who have sent cards to us the previous year." I then asked if she ever sent a card to a person just because she wanted to wish him well. She replied, "Are you kidding? The whole thing is a pain in the ankle. We send cards because we have to and so does everyone else." This is such a hardboilcd approach it made me wonder how much of the world operates this way.

What do vou Dear V-2: I think there are an awful lot of people whose motivation for Christmas giving is the same as your cousin's. Too much of Christmas has become a commercial racket. How much better if people would treat one another more kindly all through the year.

It is the most sacred day of Christendom, and celebrated by more people in the world than any other.

The Easter Lily is a beautiful flower which has come to be the sign of Easter. It is the symbol of light and nuritv. and most lilies grown by florists usually moved because nonfertiliza-tion keeps the flowers white.
