CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
The hands selected for publica- tion usually contain a game con- trict which is either made or de- feated by spectacular play. How- ever, the majority of the hands played are commonplace. There are dozens of hands in which skilful play is required to make one, or two add, besides the usual sprinkling of misfits which lead to disaster.
There is, however, one import- ant difference in that each hand has an equal bearing on the final outcome. The defence must be on its toes every minute and can- not afford to play listlessly be- cause the contract is an unimport- ant one. It la just as important to defeat a one bid as a grand slam.

This was perfect- ly satisfactory to South, and, see- ing no further need to continue: the bidding, he passed and one spade became the final contract.

SATURATION POINT
rench Saturation Point is the ambition
It signifles that the sales of his product have absorbed output. In these days not many products attain Saturation Point; production is generally greater than demand. It is not so with soft wood. Here Saturation Point is reached and passed; sufficient timber cannot be cut to cope with the world's needs. Moreover, forestry utilization has been brought to such a fine art that there are now over 4,600 proved uses for pine timber alone, such ns is grown in selected areas in New Zealand.
In those fertile islands the N. Z. Perpetual Forests, Limited has evolved a scheme of afforestation which is putting pine tree (L.e. soft wond) growing on a practical and profitable basis.
To date over 85,000 investors of moderate means have collectively purchased more than 127,600 bonds, enabling them to share in the rich return their longsighted investment must bring.
Their capital is steadily working in New Zealand forests producing the right kind of pine trees to meet the approaching world famine in Industrial timber.
Bonds yielding approximately £250 in twelve years, costing £30 ench--payable by instal- ments may now be secured.
