LANDONURGES SUPPORT FOR PLAYGROUNDS Keep Sadness and Misery From Children, Plea of Association. 'By supporting playgrounds we can help keep sadness and misery from children,” Hugh McK. Landon of the National Recreation Association stated in a recent letter sent to Indianapolis citizens, in behalf of the association. "Much youthful delinquency arises from a thwarted play instinct,” Landon pointed out, ‘‘but through the playgrounds we can help boys and girls have a good time through their own activities and efforts.” Average cost, according to the association, for directed recreation activities for children, amounts to about three to four dollars a year, whereas to keep a child in a reformatory costs from to S6OO. Lewis E. Lawes, warden of Sing Sing prison, recently stated: ’‘lf there is to be any permanent dimunition of crime, we shall have to look to our adolescents; juvenile delinquency gives way before supervised playgrounds.” Recreation centers, according to the association, are being kept open through emergency work and the recruiting of volunteers workers who are being trained to guide the constructive use of leisure time. That safety, health and character growth of children shall not be imperiled by the shutting of playground gates is the main objective of the association this summer.

Contract Bridge

BA' W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League AITHAT is the best attack or of- * * sense against a slam contract? I believe every hand presents a problem in itself. But I certainly would not advocate normal openings, such as the fourth best of your longest and strongest suit. You must try to analyze the bidding and see if there is a weak spot disclosed. If the bidding does not show a weak spot, then try for an unusual opening—one that may fool the declarer. Take for example the following hand, played by the Western Reserve team of Cleveland, which recently won the Ohio state contract team of four championship. Mr. O. S. Emrich and his partner. Mr. E. J. Babin, arrived at a contract of seven no trump. Mr. Emrich. who played the hand from the North, received a normal opening of the fourth best club—the three —which he won with the ace. He immediately cashed the queen of clubs. A small diamond was won in dummy with the ace, and a small diamond returned, which North won ■with the king, and then cashed the queen of diamonds, discarding a small spade from dummy. He now started the heart suit, running off five heart tricks, discarding the four and ten of spades from his own hand. East was all right on the first three hearts, as he could follow, but on the fourth heart he discarded the eight of spades. On the fifth heart he was squeezed. If he dropped the ten of clubs, dummy's king and nine would be good. a u B HE therefore let go the seven of spades. Declarer cashed the king of clubs from dummy and then led the jack of spades, going up with the ace in his own hand and spearing Easts king. When the other half of the team played this board, they were sitting East and West—jfcirs. S. B. Fink in

East, and Mr. A. L. Siegel in the West. North and South also arrived at a contract of seven no trump at this table. However, Mr. Fink’s opening lead in the East was the jack of diamonds. which was won in dummy with the ace. The ace and queen of clubs were cashed, and then the king and queen of diamonds. When East's nine dropped, the declarer marked East with the ten of diamonds due to his jack opening- v The five rounds of hearts were taken. On the third heart Mr. Siegel in the West discarded the five of spades and then the three of spades, completing a spade echo and hoping to deceive the declarer. On the fifth heart, he let go the deuce of spades. On the fourth and fifth hearts, Mr. Fink in the East dropped the seven and eight of spades, bearing right down to his king. Declarer now read Mr. Fir.k for the ten of diamonds and the jack and ten of clubs: therefore, he led the king of clubs from dummy, discarding a diamond, and then the jack of spades, taking the finesse. Mr. Fink won with the king of spades, and cashed his jack of clubs, defeating the contract two tricks. (Copyright. 1933. by NEA Service. Inc.)
