CONTRACT BRIDGE
The special bridge language that is
used to exchange information between
partners takes two forms. During the
bidding it is verbal, and in defensive
play it is by means of the careful se-
lection of cards that are played.
One important means of communica-
tion during play is the echo. What,
ever may be the reason, the use of the
echo is too much neglected.
An echo is a. signal which instructs
partner to continue or discontinue, or
at the first opkrtunity to lead or not
lead, the suit in which the signal is
given.
The come-on signal is given by play-
ing first an unnecessarily high card, fol.
'lowed at the second trick 'by a lower
card. Conversely, the negative signal
is indicated by playing the lowest pos-
sible card first followed by a higher

DRINK HAKT INCREASING
IN CANADA
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
recently gave in cold, bleak figures, the
story of the increase in the drinking
habit in Canada in 1946-47, In the
12 months ended ,March -31, 1947, Can-
adians drank 8,543,000 proof gallons of
spirits, 146,981,000 gallons of beer and
5,584,000 gallons of native and Im-
ported wines. This year-long drink-
ing spree cost Canadians $373,276,000.
The comparative figures for the pre-
ceding year were 5,864,000 proof gal-
lons of spirits, 130,086,000 gallons of
beer and 4,576,000 gallons of native and
imported wines. These cold figures
show that Canadians drank 679,000
more proof gallons. (an increase. of.
Over U,4%) of spirits, 16,895,000
more' gallons (an increase of almost
13%) of beer and 1,008,000 more gal-
lons (an increase of over 22%) of na-
tive and imported wines last year than
they did the year previous.
This large increase is a startling
commentary on the trend of our times
toward looser, more immoral living.
Au increase of over.ten per cent in one
year is a very disturbing matter and it
should cause serious concern to alt
good citizens of Canada. This evil is
liable to pyramid into a monster that
may overwhelm and destroy our vaunt-
ed civilization, •
It really means that ten per cent
more much-needed money was taken
from the homes where it should have
provided food, clothing, shelter and the
other amenities of life, and it was pour-,
ed into swollen coffers of the liquor
industry. It means that ten per cent
more heartaches, misery, squalor, want,
suffering and drink-inspired trouble
was caused in Canadian homes and
lives by this increased drinking. It
means that many occasional-drinkers
became addicts and drunkards. Drink
is one of the worst curses of humanity,
l a disease that civilization must fight
and conquer before it is too late.
BEARERS HAVE RIGHTS ALSO
People often declare that they have
'the right to say what they like, yet
they do not stop to consider that they

!which possess so genuine a wit that it
!would be unfair to succeeding gener-
ations to fail to pass them on. How-
ever, when such an anecdote is' re-
lated for the mirth it carries, the party
of men or women to whom it is told

nearly always present sotne who will

Many people, especially men, put up

Your Dealer Has it
Next after the Cornyn's in Wingliam,
was Edward Foley, the early part of
the succeeding year (1860), who ,built
a fratne house,, used first' as a store
and subsequently as a public-house,
known as the Commercial Hotel, A
child born in his family was the first
born in Wingham.. He was accom-
panied, or followed at very short in-
tervals, by Peter and Archibald Fisher,
Peter and. Thomas Long, John and
Thomas Gregory, and Thomas Abra-
ham. The two first named settled at
"the plot", and built the first mill at
the place or in the neighborhood, and
were the means of concentrating quite
one. The positive signal is a command
which rarely should be disobeyed. The
negative signal is not as strong an or-
der and might be disregarded by part-
ner if his hand so indicates.
It requires two tricks to complete
an echo, but very often it is desirable
to give partner some signal on the
first trick if you play a seven or
higher eard on the first trick it is tett-
tatively taken as a come-on signal,
and a four or 'lower card indicates a
negative signal. Fives and sixes arc
in the uncertain category, and some-
times they are played deliberately on
the first trick to express Uncertainty,
and ask partner to use his own judg-
Merit, Alway.s remember, however,
that your partner cart use only the
cards that were dealt him; a, four fol-
lowed by a two is just •as strong a
come-on signal as any other high-low
play. `Usually your own cards and
those exposed in dummy will :help you
to judge your partner's intention by his
play on the first trick,
The echo is used +both in following
suit and in discarding front another
suit, and this applies whether the lead
is by partner or declarer. Soinetimes
also it can be used when leading, espec,
laity by leading the higher card of
doubletort to ask partner to give you
a third round ruff, if possible.
There are some special forms and
uses of the echo, but to the extent at
least of is usual form and function as
described above, it should be part of
the ;fluent 'language" 'of every `bridge
player.
