Have Your Card Punched
Their eighth try for a boy is still 50-50 By Abigail Van Buren © 1974 by The Chicago Tribune DEAR ABBY: You should have told “Mother of Eight Dolls" to tell the doctor who told her, “The law of averages is in your favor, 100 to one," to go back to medical school for courses in genetics and statistics. Theoretically, no matter how many children of what sex a couple already have, the odds are very close to 50-50 that the next one will be a girl. Before this couple had had any children the doctor could have predicted that if they went on to have eight children, the odds w'ere 256 to one against all eight being girls. But that isn't the question the doctor was asked. He was asked. "Of all families that have seven girls born already, what are the odds that the eighth will be a boy?” In summary, the proper prediction to give this couple, if asked for advice concerning an eighth try for a boy. would be, "The normal odds are 50-50, but in your case there may be other factors causing you to bear only girls, so I would have to sav that vour eighth child is more likely to be a girl thanabov.” 'SARA K. WEINBERG. CLASS OF 1977 UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DEAR SARAH: You belong at the head of the class, which is probably where you are. Congratulations. DER ABBY: Please tell me if I am wrong or right. There was a TV program (a special) I had looked forward to seeing for a long time. I was invited to play cards that night, but declined because I wanted to see it. About 15 minutes before it was to go on. in came my sister-in-law and mother-in-law! They don't live very far from me. and we see each other quite often. I get along fine with my sister-in-law. but my mother-in-law is a different story. I said. “I'll fix coffee, but I so want to see a TV program which goes on in 15 minutes. Please stay and watch it with me?" My mother-in-law said, “Don't bother making coffee, we can’t stay.” Then she pulled my sister-in-law by the arm and they left. The next day my sister-in-law called and said. “For a smart woman, you sure are dumb!" Then she laid me out because I didn't just skip the TV program and entertain her and Mom. I want vour opinion on this incident. BURNING IN BOSTON DEAR BURNING: I don’t know why anyone (relative or otherwise) should drop in uninvited and unannounced and expect to be treated like an invited guest. They should have called first and given you a chance to say, “I’m sorry, but I have plans. How about tomorrow night?” DEAR ABBY: I am an 18-year old girl who has been married for two years. No kids. (I lost the baby I was P.G. with when I got married, and can't have any more kids.) Like most couples. Bill and I have our fights, and when we do I call up my folks and mention it, and they drive right down to “rescue" me. They live 300 miles away, and by the time they get here I ve cooled off and so has Bill, but they make me go home with them to think things over anyway. They treat me like a child —not a grown woman. They 're hoping I 'll leave Bill for good because they never wanted me to marry him in the first place. He does run around on me sometimes, but he was only 18 when we got married, and I was the only girl he ever had. so maybe he just has to get it out of his system. I sure wish my folks would quit trying to talk me into leaving Bill. I really love him even though we fight a lot. I feel like I'm being pulled in two directions. I'm home now, wishing I was back with Bill. I ll take any advise you can give me. MISERABLE IN KANSAS DEAR MIS: If you're being "pulled in two directions” you're asking for it whether you realize it or not. In responding to your calls, your folks understandably think you’re asking for help. But if you really love Bill, quit whining to your parents every time you have a fight and get some professional counseling. Everyone has a problem. What's yours?

You are the dealer and open One Diamond. Your partner responds Two Spades. What would you bid now with each of the following five hands? 1.4Q94 ¥ 85 9AKJ632 *A7 2. ♦ 63 ¥ K72 ♦ AJ85 * AJ94 3. 4k 82 ¥ AJ63 ♦ AKQ74 *95 4. * KQ5 ¥ K7 ♦ KQ9653 * K2 5. * Q7 ¥10 ♦ AJ872 *KQ854 1. Three spades. Partner quite obviously has slam aspirations, and you should encourage him by raising his suit at once. It is true that a three diamond bid at this point would portray your diamond holding nicely, but that is not nearly as valuable a move as showing the spade support at the earliest opportunity. Partner is practically certain to have at least five spades, and a direct raise is bound to cheer him up no end. If you were to bid three diamonds instead, you would face a mighty difficult problem if partner rebid either three spades or three notrump. The best way to avoid such a problem is to make an immediate spade raise. 2. Two notrump. Here you want to slow partner down as soon as possible, as you have a minimum opening bid, and the best way of showing a balanced hand with minimum values is by bidding two notrump. To bid
three clubs, instead, would suggest far greater distributional values than you have. 3. Three hearts. This is the best way of representing your distribution, which is what you should try to do in order to paint a good picture of your hand. Partner will learn that you have more diamonds than hearts, which is a valuable step in the right direction. How high you go will depend largely on partner’s next bid, but the odds favor your getting to six something. 4. Three spades. Considering your hand, partner is sure to have at least three aces for his jump-shift response, which announces at least 17 high-card points. A small slam is therefore certain, and the only problem is how to reach a grand slam if partner has all four aces. TRis possibility can be investigated later on by using Blackwood. A good case can also be made for bidding four notrump directly over two spades. 5. Three clubs. It is best to bid naturally over a jump-shift response, even with a minimum opening bid. You have diamonds and clubs, and you should bid diamonds and clubs. Three clubs does not show added values, though you may of course have them.
