SURVIVAL MIGHT BE
THE TOP PRIORITY
Laurence J. Peter, who was a
Canadian educator, said, “If two
wrongs' don’t make a right, try
three.”
We have been looking at deals
with two potential trump suits,
not three.
By far the best analysis of
the subject was written by
Albert Morehead for his book,
“Morehead on Bidding.” This was
updated by Alan Truscott and
your Present Author under the
title “On Bidding.” It was an easy
job because it was such a good
book. Sadly, it has been out of
print for years, but maybe you
can find a copy online.
In today’s deal, the problem is
not locating the best trump fit,
but landing in a game contract
that can be made.
North-South have only one
eight-card fit. Five diamonds,
though, can be defeated if East
establishes his club trick quickly. I
Then the defenders will take two I
hearts and one club.
Reaching a 4-3-fit contract is
always difficult. Here, South’s
three-heart cue-bid asks North
to bid three no-trump with a
heart stopper. When North
cannot oblige, he shows three-
card spade support. (With four
spades, he would have raised on
the previous round.) Then South,
with such strong spades, goes
with the 4-3 fit, the only game
thatoannot be defeated.
West leads the heart three. East
takes two tricks in the suit and --
best - plays a third round.
Ruffing this trick will be fatal
unless the trumps are breaking
3-3. Instead, South discards a
club. If East either plays a fourth
heart or shifts to the club king,
declarer can win, draw trumps
and claim.

Dear Abby: How can I con-
vince my aging, sick sister-in-
law that her feeble husband’s
care is too much for her at this
point? She can barely care for
herself, yet she must help him
eat, get out of chairs - every-
thing short of chew his food
for him. I have tried telling her
she deserves respite care of
some kind, to no avail.
Have you any ideas how I
can convince her she is literal-
ly killing herself and deserves
some assistance? Their three
daughters are no help at all to
them. They tum a blind eye
from their parents’ situation.
Relative Who Cares In Ohio
Dear Relative: I can think
of a few things you might do
to help. The first would be to
talk to the daughters and ex-
plain your concerns for their
mother’s health - because if
she doesn’t get some respite
care, SHE could die before
their father does. Be sure to
point out that if that happens,
their father’s care would be-
come THEIR responsibility.
When they realize the effect it
would have on their own lives,
it might motivate them to do
something.
The second would be to do
DEAR ABBY
spme re-
search and
see what
options are
available for
part-time
caregivers
or senior day
care cen-
ters where
her husband
would be safe and looked after
while your sister-in-law has a
few precious hours to herself.
The man’s doctor could guide
you.
Then have a frank talk with
her and explain that for her
to be as effective a caregiver
as she obviously wants to be,
she’s going to have to take bet-
ter care of herself because the
track she’s on right now could
cost her her own health or even
her life, and that’s no. exagger-
ation.
Dear Abby: I’m a 29-year-
old single man who is hard of
hearing. 1 have a steady job
and plans for a good future,
but I’m having trouble in the
dating world.
I would love to have a spe-_
cial someone in my life, but
I’m shy. I have a hard time
talking with the girls who live
in my area. I can hear people
pretty well unless they mum-
ble or talk quietly, or face away
from me when they speak.
I have asked people to repeat
what they say (I try not to do it
often) if I missed something.
They get frustrated and so do
I, and then they say, “Never
mind!”
I try so hard to hear people.
But it seems the harder I try,
the less it seems worth it to
find a relationship. Any tips
on dealing with impatient and
non-understanding people?
Frustrated In Wisconsin
Dear Frustrated: As people
age, many of them encounter
the problem you are trying to
cope With now at your young
age. Hearing loss is difficult
because it is often subtle and
can be extremely isolating for
the person who has it.
My first tip would be to
avoid noisy places for meeting
women, if you can. My second
would be to be upfront about
your hearing loss right off the
bat. If a woman finds you at-
tractive, she will find ways to
accommodate the problem.
And if she doesn’t, then she
wasn’t the right candidate for
a relationship in the first place.

information to help get ahead. Don’t
meddle.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - An
offhand remark will .strain an
important relationship. Physical
activity will keep you out of trouble.
Unexpected delays will turn a happy
experience into a headache.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -
Lending money or picking up the tab
will not impress anyone. Pitfalls lie
ahead if you fall prey to a fast-talking
scam artist who guarantees wealth
and prosperity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Your
best option will be listening to and
deciphering what’s actually going on
around you. Once you have gathered
all the information, you will be able
to make an informed choice.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you
pace your actions, you will get a lot
done. Don’t hesitate to delegate
tasks if you think you are falling
behind. A solid effort will help to
clinch the deal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You
will have the power of persuasion
working for you, and a beneficial
partnership is on the horizon. Keep
some details secret so that you are
not left in a vulnerable position.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -
Remove yourself from the hustle
and bustle of everyday routine,
and put your worries aside. A day
of relaxation or time spent doing
something you eqjoy will boost your
spirits.
