At all other tables the three no trump contract was made, in most cas- es with one or two extra tricks. PHIL OS1FER OF LAZY MEADOWS Our pump here at Lazy Meadows has a wooden handle. This particular handle was carved out of a piece of dry wood that I had put up over the gran- ary . . but that's quite a few years ago. Two bolts go through the handle and are supposed to hold it for pump- ing purposes quite firmly in the met- al part. The bolts during the years have worked loose on occasion and have Stewart Home Appliances SEE A DEMONSTRATION NOW VINGH ADVANC HYMN Nose Fill$ BELGRAVE itrio-* United Church Congregational Meeting `Tie animal meeting of the emigre gation of Knox tnited Church, Bel- grave, was held in the basement of the aural, on Tuesday afternoon.

East won with the queen, and then proceeded to force out dummy's ace by means of an entry-killing play known as the Des chapelles Coup. He led the king of hearts at the second trick, and when the declarer held up the ace lie led the five, and the ace had to go. East knew he would be sacrificing a heart trick if his king was covered with the ace, but Ile was hunting for bigger game. In refusing to cover, South hoped that East had only two hearts, he be as anxious to retain the ace as East was to remove it, The king of diamonds was led on which West followed with the three. With a solid suit to the king exposed in dummy, and no sure outside entry, there is a special form of the echo sig- nal to guide partner when to play the lace, if he has it. With either two or !our cards in the suit, the highest card is played on the first lead, with three cards, the lowest is the first play. The first play will usually give partner the desired information, but if there is an opportunity to complete the echo on a second round, lie will have a certain count. months ago it turned out however that th e shied, Isvalsi t g doany a tlai nebou waltssos. one that the nots kept working loose, Then e handle p th wrapped up in Some baling wire that happened to he bandy in the driving X was positive that .the matter of the pump handle bad been settled, The wire, although 14rs, Phil suggested that it looked terrible, _seemed to hold the handle in firm position. I then for,- got all about the nuts that came loose and the'sPlit in the wooden portion of the handle. Yesterday I went out to pump water for the stock. It was one of those ex- tremely frosty days when the touch of metal on your hand meant losing a bit of flesh. I blithely _started pumping and the stock came up determined to drink . as quickly as possible and then go back to the warmth of the stable. WHAMMI The wire slipped . . • the nuts flew off the ends of the bolts and the handle That was bad. enough but my hands went down and the knuckles on both 3Vere hashed. against the pump. Did that ever hurt? Let me tell you I howled. The stock kept believing around and I had to turn in to fix the pump handle. Do you think I could get those cows Ito go back in the stable? No sir, they came out to be watered and seemed determined to stay tintil they did. The business of having the pump handle broken is enough in itself but to add to that the stock were milling around. I finally found a piece of scantling that would serve as a temporary handle and stuck it in the metal clamp and wrapped some wire around and started pumping. The whole apparatus slipped out and I slipped on an icy spot and went skidding off the pump stand. Af- ter a couple more bad starts I manag- ed to get some water pumped. This was a real accomplishment but I had to spend all evening carving out the handle and the biggest part of the next morning getting it fitted, Now, why on earth didn't I do that last Fall when the weather was fine?
