Aptly described as the man with a record card covered with red marks without a single black blemish, indicating that he had nover, during his many years' Borvico, been guilty of misconduct In any shape or form, Inspector Fallon was recently awarded the First Class Police Medal for his excellent service in the Criminal Investigation Department and for special work during the Anti- Japanese disturbances.

Оп innumerable occasions during the past twenty years Inspector Fallon has been com- mended by his superior officers for zoal and diligence in the execution of his duty. What is probably the outstanding act of heroism of his career was a fight he had with an armed madman who find run amok. Not only did Inspector Fallon tackle the desperate char actor but he managed to disarmı him and thus prevent further bloodshed. Inspector Fallon and two other European officers, among others had beon badly cut by the amok before he was over- powered.

Highly Commended.

South and West passed. North had two and one-half high cards which should usually be shown in third position so he bid one heart. East bid one apade and South two clubs. West bid two spades. West had adequate support for a double raise in spades but first wished to learn whether his partner's spade bid was merely a minimum over-tor Fallon was born, and at the call. North bid three clubs and when East rebid his spades, West had no further hesitation about Carrying the contract to game.

South's most natural lend would be the singleton heart in response to the heart bld. However, Mr. Thurtell's play had been most un natural.

Since it could scarcely be a trump lead, with five trumps in dummy, Mr. Stockvis led a small diamond to the third trick. This permitted Mr.Thurtell to cash his ace and queen of diamonds before declarer could get any discarde on the good hearts in West's hand, and the contract was defeated one trick.
