thia hand was dealt. South over-
bid the 3-Spades with 4-Clubs,
got doubled and was set by two
tricks in each major for an East-
West score of 200 points. In more
cases the 3-Spades got passed.
It was made at some tables, due
to inept • defense, « and beaten
where more expert resistance was
offered.
Let’s look'at the record of the
defenders who failed. The . dia-
mond K was led by South, who
paid no heed to North’s low 3, but
raked in his A, then scored the
'dub K and led the 7 to the Q.

swimming instruction, tennis, base-
ball, softball, volleyball, archery,
croquet, badminton, and pcc-sibly a
miniature golf course. Some of
these would be for boys, some for
girls and some for both.
To carry out this program it is
believed necessary to have three
recreation directors—two men and
one woman—for the summer pro-
gram taking in recreation for more
than 1000 boys and girks.
A number of volunteer workers
would be askqjj’to assist in the va-
ried prdgram including supervised
play for little children.
Method of financing to be recom-
mended to the Youth Council by its
Committee likely will be in the form
of a fee per child, to be paid by par-
ents and citizens and possibly or-
ganizations. A tentative fee dis-
cussed by the Committee was $3 per
child.

is such a thing* as too much
‘ haste. Just a little carelessness in

sometimes result in establishing
a winner for the declarer which
