Rule On Picking Up Pile With Only One Card Is Simplified

By OSWALD JACOBY

THE new International Canasta Laws have simplified one rule that many players found it difficult to understand: the right of a player

who has only one card to take the discard pile, If you have only one card in your nand you are ‘never allowed to take a discard pile that consists of only one card. That law means only what it says and nothing more. If you have only one card in your hand, you - are allowed to pick up a discard pile of two or more LR Or if you have two or more cards in your hand, you are allowed to pick a discard pile of only one card. The only forbidden pickup occurs when your hand contains only one card and the: discard pile likewise contains only one card.

Another law that many players have trouble with concerns the discard from a hand that contains only one card. For example, suppose that your side has no canasta and that you have only one card in your hand--a deuce. It is your turn to play, and you draw another deuce. What must you do? Vo

IF YOU can’t make a canasta with one or both of those deuces, you are not allowed to meld out. Therefore you must go through the regular procedure, just as at any normal turn. You must discard one of those deuces and keep the other deuce in your hand. According to the rules of the game, you must discard at each and every turn (except when you meld out); and after you have discarded, you must stil have at least one card left in your hand. You are not allowed to meld one or both of those

are likewise not allowed to meld one

deuces and play on with no cards in your hand. You of those deuces and skip your discard. There is no such thing as saying “pass” to take the place of a discard. . wn» I WILL agree that it seems tough luck to throw away a deuce in a situation of this kind. However, nobody put a pistol to your head and made you meld 10 of your original 11 cards. If you are unwise enough to leave yourself with only one card, you must take your punishment like a man. (After this moralistic lecture, I will still get a few dozen letters each week asking if it is all right to say “pass” instead of discarding).

Mr. Jacoby is unable to answer individual questions on canasta from readers. However, he will include the most frequemtly asked questions in his column.

Fresh-Looking Colors Tropical weight suitings come in fresh-looking colors for spring with a good deal of checks and plaids in yellow, gold and chocolate brown. Even in denim, the new trend-setting colors are to be found. An important fall color that will continue through spring is gray. Tones from light gray to charcoal will be prominent. They are to be had in every fabric for! every member of the family. Sharp, brilliant-hued, “shock” colors are a main attraction for every seamstress. These colors are spirited and fresh-looking. Orange, pink and red come under this heading, and each color is popular from the lightest shade to the most brilliant. "Red, this year, will run from a deep raspberry wine to the lightest flame. Again, these shades will be available in all fabrics. The pinks and oranges have been |

they may be contrasted with solid colors, especially black for effective ensembles. {

Gains in Popularity - The violat group keeps gaining in popy ty and is to be seen in every/fabric. Any ensemble or costume in a sheer with a violet tone will be noteworthy because of its flattering effect over skin tones. The fashionable greens, of which emerald is the most popular, will have blue and gray casts. An excellent glamour costume can be made by combining one of these tones with lime. In the blues, another classic for all the family, every shade from | the traditional baby blue to royal | and periwinkle is right. Navy, of | course, remains a leader.
