When to win a trick is & problem that frequently determines the outcome of a hand. The holdup play, so often used in notnunp contracts, has limited advantages unless it Is applied at exactly the right time to exactly the right hand. Today's hand illustrates the use of the holdup play. West leads the king of spades against three notnunp. If South wins with the ace, ha must go down. Sooner or later he is bound to lead a

one trick.

Declarer should realize that there can be no advantage to winning the first spade, and he should therefore hold up the ace. The underlying purpose is to sever communication in spades between East and West. When West continues with the queen, South again is faced with the .question of whether to win with the ace. This time he should, for there is no good reason to refuse the trick, but a good reason to take it. He wins with the ace primarily because it assures him of the contract regardless of how the opposing cards are divided. He plans to lead the jack of clubs next and finesse, not caring very much where the king

is located.

If the finesse wins, he is certain of at least nine tricks; if it loses, he is still on safe ground and will make the contract. This is because, if East has another spade to lead, it means that West started with four spades at most and the contract is therefore safe. But if South refuses the queen of spades, he subjects himself to defeat. West may take it into his head to shift his attack to diamonds, in which case South winds up going. < down one.

Hollywood News

By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI—If you think the television talk show field is over-c r o w d e d with Johnny Carson, Joey Bishop, Gypsy Rose Lee, Merv Griffin at al, remember there is always room for one more. The newcomer is Woody Woodbury, nightclub comedian and Florida entrepeneur, who begins his own nightly show from Hollywood beamed via Metro-Media to some 20 cities. Because the show is syndicated rather than carried by a network, Woody will be seen at various times In different cities. In New York he will be opposite Carson and Bishop which at first blush appears as much mismateh as Don Knotts against the Green Berets. But Woodbury has a secret weapon: Ralph Edwards. Edwards, an old hand at television, is producing the series and aa usual has a bag full of tricks at Woody’s disposal. Woody himself is a personable character with a likeable face, fast patter, a sense of humor and, well, the kind of guy you’d like to play poker with or maybe take on a fishing trip. The heavyweight competition for his 90-minute program bothers him not at all which indictates he either knows something or is not very bright. Bright he is. And what he knows is how to entertain people. “I’m optimistic about our show,” he said. “I’d be an idiot if I weren’t. Ralph has this show geared so well it almost has to be a winner. “Anyhow, I don’t think the

field Is too crowded. We can’t be altogether different from the others, of course. But we will have our own style and pace. For openers there will be more studio audience involvement. We’ll have them laughing at themselves. “Our guest stars don’t come in for a few minutes and duck out. They’ll stay around the full hour and a half and take part in everything that goes on. Things will be more personalized.” Woodbury brushed a hand through his thinning sandy brown hair and grinned: “We won’t try to be controversial .. . life is too short to get into all that stuff. “Besides, I don’t know anyone who has all the answers. So we don’t go into racial, political or religious areas. “Our plan, simply, is to have a good time and see that our viewers do, too. And we won’t have to worry about ratings because we aren’t on a network with hundreds of stations.” So far Woody has taped his shows wtih such guests as Stan Kenton, Edgar Bergen, Ernie Borgnine, Caroline Jones, The Four Hops and Bob Crane of “Hogan’s Heroes.” Woodbury plays the piano in addition to his other talents, which is more than can be said for his competition. If he hits a dull spot he can always tear off a rendition of “old folks at home.” Builds railroad out of scraps THOMPSON, Conn. UPI — The Boulder Ridge Railroad has a brief run and an erratic schedule. It is made of door chimes, appliance parts and fixtures from a toilet seat. It carries neither freight nor passengers — though it Is capable of carrying both — and exists primarily for the enjoyment of its creator, a 70-year-old Yankee who likes to tinker. Felix A. Breault, a retired machinist and antique dealer, spent the last five years building a 2,200-pound steam locomotive, tender and caboose which he now operates along a 400-foot track in his back yard. Breault said he has been consumed with the urge to tinker. "That is why it took me only five years to build my engine, instead of six,” he says. Breault fashioned most of the engine, “Old 6166,” by hand. He also made 21 wood patterns which a foundry used in casting various fixtures for the project. Railroad service in this part of Connecticut has been virtually extinct for many years, which explains the perplexing stares of passersby who see flashing lights and hear the puffing of a steam engine when they go by Breault’s home. He says he no longer balks when people turn into his driveway and sit gazing in amazement at the Boulder Ridge engines. In preparation for the project, Breault said he collected about 30 volumes dealing with the application of steam power. ,

Conducts school for retarded

Blondie

By Chic Young

LARAMIE, Wyo. (UPI) — Fred Lindberg, 23, a graduate student in clinical psychology at the University of Wyoming has many visitors to his off campus apartment. His boys, as Lindberg likes to call them, visit almost every night, and on the weekends, too. The boys range in ages from 11 to 16, and include whites, Negroes, Indians. They’re over to see me almost every day,” Lindberg said. “I like to work with them, and that’s what I get out of it — self satisfaction.” The unusual factor is that Lindberg’s pals are mentally retarded. “The fact that a recreation program for retarded children exists at all is in itself a little unusual,” said Alan Beetle, an agriculture and range management professor at the university and president of the Albany County Retarded Childrens Association. “There are a few such programs in some communities but they’re the exception rather than the rule.” Thanks largely to persons like Lindberg, Beetle, and Roger Hornby, another graduate student at the university, Laramie has one of the most complete recreation programs for the retarded. “The problem with some of these children is they’re so sheltered they don’t get exposed to the normal situations that most children would,” Beetle said. “It takes an extra effort to get these kids out in the community.” In Laramie, the children take trips. Once a week they

go swimming. The Retarded Children’s Association takes them camping in the summer. It was Hornby, with three normal children, who came up with the idea for a Boy Scout troop for the retarded. It was a little daring, according to some thinking in the community. But it’s turned out to be a huge success. Hornby, who quickly accepted Lindberg’s help with the scouts, put his boys to work on the traditional programs— participating in the scout circus. and passing out handbills to earn money for scouting projects. But perhaps better than anything else is the fact the children have become very much a part of community life. “It was simply unavailable to any child In Laramie 10 years ago except in the individual family,” Beetle said. “Maybe 70 per cent of these children come from homes and families where the family simply wouldn’t do anything for these children, even take them to the swimming program.” “Almost all those kids had never seen a swimming pool in their life,” Beetle said. Lindberg said most of the retarded children he worked with were afraid even to put their head under the water. But one particularly fearful youngster is now “doing backward flips off the diving board and swimming all over the place.” One of the children was so physically handicapped he had to be lifted on and off the school bus. He has improved so much through the swimming program, that he boards the bus by himself.
