The Bidding
nac
In this contract hand. South opened with one club, West over- called with
spade. Some players will justify this overcall,; but without a sure quick trick in the hand, it is a better pass, After the South bid, North rent to two No Trump, East passed, South hid three clubs and North went to three No Trump.
The Play
The opening lead by East was the five of epailes--the top of his partner's suit. Dunimy played
the eight, West the Jack and j North, the dummy, won the trick with the king. He then played the ten of clubs, but refused to take the finesse, going up with the king and catching West's queen. Holding ace, king, jack, the finesse should not be taken on the fret round, and with nine clubs in sight. no finesse should be taken.
A small club was returned from dummy, West discarding the three of hearts, the declarer win- ning the trick with the nine of clubs. The four of clubs
Win then led to dummy's face. We discarding another heart. The three good clubs were led from dummy. West dropping a heart, a diamond and a spade, the declarer discarding two diamonds and a heart.
East played the eight and four of hearts and then the three of diamonds. The nine of hearts was led from dummy, West discarding the nine of diamonds, declarer winning the trick with the nce. The ten of hearts wats then played by declarer and won in the dummy with the king West was forced to discard' the six of spades in order to protect hia diamonds.
Due to West's overcal! of one spade, he is practically marked with the king of diamonds. This information now allows the de- clarer to make nie position play. He leads the ace of spades from dummy and then the nine of spades which West is forced to win with the queen. If he now

The squeeze and cumshaw evils, practised by contractors so gener- ously in more prosperous times. but now more cautiously re- stricted, in their application to the really influential, must seriously reduce wages, parti- cularly in the case of these con- tractors whose speciality is the supply of "contract labour" only.
