By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI—Part of my job is keeping a television set going during the daytime hours so that if a news story breaks it is possible to watch the coverage from the beginning. You don’t actually get to see a lot of news stories this way, but you become an expert on soap operas. And today I’d like to put in a few kind words for them. Everything is relative, and in the world of television I honestly believe that the daily soap operas are among the better regularly-scheduled entertainment series. They are easy to poke fun at—and we all do it— because the necessity of keeping up a daily flow of melodrama provides an interweaving of plots and characters that is endless. And humor is not one of the favored devices employ-

ed.

On the other hand, in the almost totally unreal world of television entertainment— meaning mainly the prime time series—the soap operas, as a unit, come perhaps closest to giving dedicated viewers at least a slight sense of reality. It is true the plots and characters are almost completely involved in stories about problems. Yet the plots, the characters and problems are often recognizable to viewers as those that come up in many people’s lives. There is often a sense of flesh and blood—which might I not seem so pronounced if it

were more so in other video entertainment. And because of this, there is a certain sense of identification. This is reflected even in the pepole who are connected with the soap opersus—or daytime serials, as their employees like to call them. More than most television shows, the producers, the casts and the writers are personally involved with the stories and characters presented. Their longevity on the various shows is far more pronounced than that of the workers on most other programs. And the same involvement is responsible for the incredible dedication of longtime viewers of specific shows. In short, it is one of the few areas in video entertainment where both employees and viewers of the shows actually care about what they are doing and what they are watching. And that is something of an accomplishment in any area of popular entertainment. It is what is supposed to happen more often. Because of this basic sort of honesty with their product, the executives, actors and writers often seem much more real, more sophisticated and more civilized to talk to than some of the strictly mercenary sharks of the more publicized and highpowered series. They are what they are: professional people doing a professional job.

Opening lead—six of dubs. Dear Mr. Becker: My defensive play is generally regarded T>y friend and foe alike as more than adequate, but recently I had a terrible experience that I find myself unable to shake off. I was West and led a club against three notrump redoubled, reached by South on the bidding shown. It just so happens I know South well, having played with and against him for many years, and while he is ranked in business circles as an arch conservative, I can tell you without fear of contradiction

that at the bridge table he is one of the most uninhibited overbidden anyone has ever seen. He won my partner's jack with the king and made the clever play of a low diamond to the ten, which my partner won with the queen. East returned the nine of clubs, covered by the ten and won by me with the queen. I realized I would have to put my partner on lead again for a club return through South’s eight, and it was here that I made the fatal return of a diamond. I based this play on the assumption that my partner had the K-Q of diamonds, but I was never more mistaken in my life. South won with, the king, cashed his hearts and diamonds, and wound up making the contract with an overtrick for a score of 1,550 points. Had I been smart enough to put my partner back on lead with a spade, he would have returned a club and South would have gone down four — 2,200 points! You wouldn’t think that with just one play anyone could ever succeed in chucking 3,750 points out the window, but, so help me, I did. It just goes to show, as you’ve said so often in your column, that more crimes are committed in defense than in any other department of the game. Sorrowfully yours, John Doe.

HAM LAUNCHED WYTHALL, England UPI — The gentle cooking sounds in the loca 1 village hall kitchen were shattered by a mighty bang Monday. A giant ham, lunch for 30 old age pensioners, hurtled skywards out of a pressure cooker trailing steam and boiling gravy, ripped an 18-inehhole in the ceiling and finally came to

rest among the rafters. “Now we are trying work out who should foot the bill for the damage,” said one of the cooks.

LOTS OF FRIENDS BEMIDJI, Minn. UPI -Sam Percy, 64, pleaded guilty Monday at his 100th appearance in Municipal Court on a charge of drunkeness. He was sentenced to three days in jail In lieu of a $10 fine. Percy explains the numerous offenses this way: He has a large number of friends and does not like to offend them when they offer him a drink.
