Clinton News-Record, 1967-12-28, Page 3WILLIAM AirLAN M«=LEAN Rambling With Lucy R. Woods) OBITUARIES FREDERICK G. GILBERT pear Readers: I’m writing fpr Lucy to Wish you all a Happy New Year. The two kids at “The Hut” have been caught in the throes of old- fashioned La Grippe, influenza, a virus or whatever it was that seized them so suddenly, ft was a powerful germ which caught and shook him so he couldn’t standup. I could hear their ’’barking” at each other as I came up the hill, so J • am hanging around in the barb for a day or so to be sure they are alright. Lucy telephoned th? Doctor and said, “Carl and I have de cold.’’ “What’s that,’’ .asked the kindly medicine man, “F-lu”, elucidated Lucy, .“Can you give us.’shots’ to break it up?” “Don’t know what I’d give you,”, he replied, “but I’ll send you some medicine to help.” Thai was cold comfort when they’d made plans to eat a goose on Sunday and a turkey on Christmas with various relatives! And then that man in the Free Press wrote and says there is no Asian flu about in these parts but nobody calls It an old. fashioned cold anymore because that lacks status, One Doctor refers to influenza like attacks caused by various viruses as “upper respiratory infections.” Come to think of it, that does sound more dignified.. Lucy says if it were just an old-fashioned, cold, she could have used her father’s favourite treatment for' her and her sister- though mind you, it wouldn’t be so easy to obtain today as pure flannel and coal-oil are rather scarce ip this age of synthetics .and electricity, AL_the first sign of a cold in her chest when Lucy was little, she says, her father or mother took a square of flannel, took the burner off and unlighted lamp and let the coal-oil drip a little from the wick onto the flannel, Then it was rolled up and squeezed before being spread on the chest when retiring at bed time. Lucy was warned to call when it began to burn- she usually managed to make quite a noise before her chest had reached the desired degree of redness. When enough counter irritation had taken place, her mother took the flannel off, and pinned a clepn .piece inside her nighty, and it was worn day and night until the cold disappeared. Lucy’s Daddy says “Coal-oil had great healing qualities, properly used.” But now-a-days on account o’not knowing’ whether it is Asian flu , La Grippe, or an upper respiratory disease such old- fashioned treatments as coal-oil, goose grease rub and mustard plasters are forgotten in the rash of sure cure T.V. advertise, ments. And the victims haven’t patience to allow time and care to do the trick. Well, as I say,, folks, I’m hanging around for I heard them planning to eat the goose in two weeks if their appetites came back. I apologize for my, writing. Lucy says, it doesn’t matter be­ cause' what with the type-setter leaving out her punctuation marks- whatever they are- and getting letters interchanged, somethings just don’t make sense. Like last week the “o” dropp­ ed down before the “n” and made the white squirrels “alblons instead of albinos’- now whoever heard of an albiou squirrel except in the December 21st Rambling with Lucy in the Clinton News-Record?

North managed to win the board with his bold 4 diamond bid which asked partner to bid a suit. South dutifully bid four spades, was promptly doubled and the defense took two hearts, one spade and the king of clubs to beat it for plus 100, How­ ever at the other table North South’s partners were left undisturbed in 3 NT with the East West cards and made ten tricks for plus 630. To combat the 4 spade save, East should have considered bidding 4 NT as he had extra values, South could still have per­ sisted to five spades but it would have been more difficult for South to make this decision. This hand illustrates rather well top notch competition saving against a game bid.
