_ By OSWALD JACOBY “WHY do you say that the pack is frozen

if the dealer turns up a wild card or a red

three?” asks Portland correspondent. “I under-

stood that the pack was frozen from the beginning anyway—at least until your side has made its first meld. What is the difference?” : There is a difference. If you want to take the

discard pile for the first meld made by your side,’

you need a pair of natural cards that match the previous discard—whether or not the pack is frozen. In this case it makes no difference whether or not the dealer has turned up a wild card or a red three to begin with. However, suppose you make the initial meld from your hand (instead of taking the discard pile). Usually, this unfreezes the pile for you and your partner. . For later melds, either you or your partner can take the pile with just one card that matches the previous discard together with a wild card.

IF THE pack is born frozen, it ‘stays frozen when you make the initial meld from your hand. You or your partner still need a matching pair of natural cards to pick up a discard. "Players often ask another question about the initial meld when the pack is frozen. Some people have the idea that you need the full count outside the pair that you use to take the pile.

Other people think that you must meld from your hand first and take the pile only on a later turn, Still others think you must always have the exact count, without even five points more. All of these are mistaken ideas. . If you take the discard pile for your side's initial meld, you always need a pair of natural cards that match the previous discard. And your total meld must be at least as much as the required count. » » . FOR EXAMPLE, suppose you need 50 points, and that the previous discard is a king. You may take the discard pile with a pair of kings and .a deuce from your hand. You put down a count of 40 points,

and the discarded king brings the full meld up to 50 points. This is a perfectly proper meld whether or not the discard pile is frozen and no matter if it is born frozen or frozen by a later discard. It would be equally proper to put down two kings and a joker from your hand. In this case, of course, you would have more than the required count, * That would not prevent you from taking the pile and melding. You are not allowed to have less than the required count, but there is no rule against having more. 1t is never necessapy to make the first meld from your hand before you can touch the discard pile.

Weird interpretations of Canasta rules are spoiling the exciting game for many sincere fans. If you want to be sure on ALL .the rules send for the INTERNATIONAL LAWS OF CANASTA by Oswald Jacoby. Just put 15 cents in coin with your name and address in an envelope and mail to The Indianapolis Times,
