Christmas dinner -here's what I suggest
IF
the roast beef of old England was once the hub of the Christmas dinner, it seems that the turkey has now displaced it.
There are all sorts of controversy as to whe- ther an oven-ready, quick-frozen bird is as good as one which has been hanging for some days and never come in contact with the cold of deep- freezing. Certainly, the oven-ready bird comes under the heading of "convenience food," because it is delivered to the door and only needs to be thawed before being cooked.

If, however, flavour and aroma which have developed since the bird Was killed, you will plump for the bird hanging in your butcher's o poulterer's shop.

South response was wrong
ONE
of the modern phases of the principle of anticipation is the step response. Good play ers will respond at the one level with the lowest of their four- cards suits. Of course, with Ave and four they will name the five carder.
Thus, the correct response with the South hand to North's one club opening is one dia-
mond. In that case, North would rebid one heart and the heart slam would be reached, and made with careful play.

After South responded one spade North was not strong enough to bid two hearts and two spades looked like a nice comfortable bid.
At this point South might still have bid hearts and reached the heart slam, but South was one of those hurty-up boys. He went right to four no-trump and then to six spades when North showed him one ace.
South gave the impossible spade slam a valimit try. He won the first trick with the ace of diamonds, ruffed a diamond, led a club to his queen to lose to the ace, won the spade return with dummy's ace, came to his hanother diamond with the
