When you hold 11 high card points it is correct policy to re spond with a five card suit, rather than a four carder even if you have to go to the two level. If South had followed this rule and responded with two clubs. West's three spade bid would not have embarrassed North. He could well afford to come in with (our hearts and North would have be come declarer at the heart slam. As it was, the three-spade bid put pressure on North, but he came through nobly, or at least successfully. He bid four clubs on a three card suit, and jumped to six hearts after getting a raise to five. West opened the ace of spades and after ruffing with the deuce of trumps, South went into, a long huddle to plan his play. If you look at all the cards you can see that several lines of play will work, but South could not see the East-West cards. He decided that it would be just too hard to make the h a n d against a 4-1 trump split, but that he would have no trouble against a 3-2 split, provided all the clubs weren't bunched in the East hand, and that West did not hold four to the jack. After this decision play went quickly. South came to his hand with a club, ruffed a second spade in dummy, cashed dummy's king of trumps, overtook the queen with his ace, pulled East's last trump with his ten-spot, and led a club to dummy's king. West showed out and South was able to finesse against East's jack. ' He would lose a spade at the finish, but the slam was made. Q The bidding has been: North East South West 1 4 Double Redou. 2 Pass Pass 4 A Pass 5 A Pass ? You, South, hold: KJ7S VAQ854 K2 3 2 wnat do you do? A Pass. Your partner is in viting a, slam and while you know there is aomethinr phony boot East's takeout double. It looks as if your partner has two club losers. You also have two elab losers, so the slam is not coins" to make aiainst a club lead. TODAY'S QUESTION Instead of bidding five spades your partner bids five clubs over your four spades. What do you do in this case? Answer Tomorrow By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann: I am a middle aged bachelor. Several months ago I began to keep steady com- i p a n y w ith a widow. She loves cats and has two a silver tabby and a rather fluffy one. 1 never cared for cats and I resented her paying so much attention to them. On two occasions she asked me to drive her to the vets with a sick cat and it spoiled our plans for the evening. Last week the fluffy cat was sitting in the middle of the drive way as 1 arrived. I was going slowly and could have stopped but 1 kept right on going. Yes, I killed the cat. My friend appeared at that moment. She became hysterical, picked up the dead cat as if it were a child and screamed for me to leave and never come back. I'm sorry I killed her cat, but it was only an animal and I fail to see why she carried on like a maniac. My brother says if she is so nutty that she would break up our friendship over this, it's a good thing I didn't marry her. What is your opin- ion?-X.X.Z. Dear X.X.Z.: What a hideous. unspeakably cruel thing! Y.o.u intentionally killed your friend's little pet. In my book you are a sadistic nut who should seek psychiatric help. And take your brother along with you. Dear Ann Landers: Two years ago when our daughter Lucille was 12 years old she began to nag me about being allowed to date. I told her she could date at 14. To be honest with you, Lucille was a sensible, mature 12-ycar- old and I felt certain that two more years would see her a grown-up young lady. Well, she will be 14. in three weeks and I realize I made a mistake. The girl is immature. undefendable and untrustworthy. I ve asked her repeatedly to phone me when she plans to go somewhere after school. She oft en "forgets" to call, and I worry myself sick until she walks in at 6:30 and says she went to the library. Her room is like a pig sty. She must be told 10 times to sew on a button or mend a hem. I gel so li tod of nagging her to do the supper dishes that I often do them myself. Lucille constantly reminds me that I promised she could date at j Insurance for : Homeowners : ...af economy a : rates! 14 and now I must keep my word. Please help me do the right thuig.-KRANTIC Dear Frantic: You've already made one bad mistake. Don't make another now. Tell Lucille you expected her to be ready to date at 14, but she is not ready and therefore you can't allow it. Explain that privileges entail responsibilities. When she behaves in an adult and responsible manner she will be accorded adult privileges. Outline in detail what you expect of her from A to Z. Tell her you will will be watching for improve ment. And give her every break. Dear Ann: I wonder if people who arc forever borrowing rea lize how much bother they are'.' t suppose an easy way to get rid of such pests is to say you don't have it. This is fine for flour and milk and butter and eggs, but what about a vacuum sweep er, a steam iron and a floor polisher which they know you do have because they ve b o r rowed these items before? These people can afford the necessities. The problem is, how do I say no without alienating them? Perhaps if I were a bor rower mvself I would be more sympathetic but my husband taught me long ago that a bor rower is a poor manager. Can vou suggest a tactful out? BOR ROWED OUT Dear Out: Some people aren't irritated by borrowers, in fact they are happy to help a friend. It's apparent, however, that you are irritated. So tell them: "Sor ry, but I'm through lending things." If people cross you off their lists because they can no longer use you, ynu haven't lost much. Communitij- Jl !j; Calendar ; X.

DEAR POLLY Due to arthri tis, I do not nave strengtn enougn in my fingers to wind my watch, so 1 use a spring-type clothespin.

DEAR POLLY Whenever 1 took my little girl out of the bathtub, she kicked and screamed, as she wanted to play longer. It was almost impossible to dress her. My second cnua cacted the same way. One day the idea came to me to let the water run out of the tub while she was still in it- After the water is gone, she is more than willing to get out of the tub, and with no tuss. MRS. W.R.S. DEAR POLLY' Long-nosed tweezers are a perfect compan ion for your sewing machine equipment. They can be used to pull out threads stuck in the bob bin. And, when you leave your crocheting, a tiny gold safety pin fastening .the last stitch will save pulling out part of the work, or of having a young "helper" do it for you. MRS. E. J. DEAR POLLY My cutwork banquet cloth requires careful handling when it is laundered. I wash the cloth with mild, pure, cake soap, then rub the damp bar all over the cloth until it is well covered with soap. Hang the cloth in the bright sunlight until it is dry, wash all the soap out. After the cloth has dried again, it will come out white as snow. It is not necessary to usa hieh. WUl'nowercH hleflrhps and slrone soap to make it white. Though my cloth has been used on brides' tables and for formal teas for 15 years, it still looks white and bright as new. MRS. M.E.H. GIRLS I had amazing results with this "really new to me" trick. The frail wide lace border on a small cloth that had not been used for years and had yellowed became truly snowy while. POLLY DEAR POLLY We learned quite by accident that a litle tot too small to blow big bubbles will have a great success if he stands in front of the air condi tioner. You will sopn think you have a young Lawrence Wclk he is so surrounded by flying bubbles.-FERN GIRI.S My young grandson was delighted but his mother was not quite so thrilled with the bubbles blowing here and there. -POLLY. HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Tuesday, October I, 1963 PAGES WASHINGTON (UPD - Feder al and state governments are tak ing action to sottcn the blow suf fered by the property owner who must move his home or business to get out of the way of a new highway project. Congress last year enacted leg islation authorizing the use of federal highway funds for the first time to help reimburse dis lodged owners for some of their moving costs. The law provides a maximum $200 payment for residential re location and $3,000 for business. However, the payments cannot be made unless the state passes legislation authorizing them. The Bureau of Public Road: said that since the effective date of the law Oct. 23. 1962 all state highway departments have set up machinery for giving re location advice. 19 Taken Action And 19 states actually have taken the appropriate statutory action to authorize reimburse ment for moving costs. These are: Connecticut, Hawaii, Mary land, Massachusetts. Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Da kota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. About half of these already have made -cside-.tial relocation payments duriiv the six months the program has been in opera tion. Payments averaged from $10 in one state to $300 in another. ( In the case of the higher aver age, the state must be putting up the extra $100 since federal funds cannot be used only to pay up to $200. In addition, information from the Bureau of Public Roads indi cates that five states have made payments to business property owners since the program was authorized last October. The business reimbursements Your usoblt discards will help ui to help others. Don't throw 'em oway.
