CONTRACT BRINE Lack of planning by the declarer before launching out on the play of a hand is a common and costly fault. A Bridge Club deal of a few weeks ago prompted and illustrates this com- ment. Only two out of eight declares made six odd, yet twelve tricks can be won quite readily despite and de- fense, provided the declarer plans his play so as to take advantage of all favourable possibilities, West dealer. North and South vulnerable.

The slam was dependent on too many good breaks to be at all biddable. Probably the six of hearts was open- ed in every case. This is the point at which a declarer almost invariably should pause to plan his campaign. Winning the first trick in either hand, two or three rounds of clubs may be led out, with the important pro- viso that West retain the lead, Then the three of spades is led and finessed. The jack holding, the re- maining clubs are run, a diamond and a heart being discarded from the de- clarer's hand. The next play is the king of spades, followed by the six. Overtaking the six with the are of spades, and the suit breaking, the nine is cashed and a small diamond Ws- carded from dummy. Still playing for the break., a (ha- mond is led toward the king, a,td since this also works, the only lost trick is to the ace of diamonds. It is wise to plan and play for lay- ottrable distribution when there is nothing to lose by the effort, GORRIE PAM Destroyed By rite Mr. Russel Adams, lot 12, con. 4, suffered a heavy 'loss last Tuesday evening, when his large barn recently equipped with Hydro, was totally de- stroyed by fire, the cause of which was unkruova.

The cattle becoming restless, lie went to the upper floor to investigate and found it completely ablaze. He started to turn the cattle out and was struck on the head by falling timber which also injured his left arm. Dazed by the blow, he can recall little of what really happened but was found by neighbours lying on the ground part way to the house, when they arrived on the scene. His condition is now improving and he has been able to return to High School. Wingham fire truck was called but the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done. Ten head of cattle and about one hundred and thirty-five hogs were burned, also some machinery. Neigh- bours saved five cows and twelve fat cattle. The building was insured but there was little on the contents. The sympathy of the community is extended to the Adams family in their heavy loss.
