A MARVELLOUS MOVEMENT-

GOVERNOR'S REMARKS ABOUT TOC H.

AT PUBLIC MEETING.

His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, presided over a large gathering at the Board Room of Messrs. Jardins Matheson and Co., last evening, when the nims, objects and history of Toc H. were expounded by the Rev. F. E. Ford, Toch H. Padre, and Mr. Harry Chappell.

The Governor, introducing the Rov. Mr. Ford, said. "I, like you, like to know and bear would about Too H. I regret to say I know nothing about it in spito of the fact that I had Padre Ford at Government House as my guest. I do know that it is a marvellous movement, one of the few things which emerged from the War. Its alm is service to mankind and human interest in the, activities around us.

The Rev. Ford explained the ceremonies connected with the Toc H. lampe especially in regard to the "Geremony of Light" held prior to each meeting of a branch or group. In silence, he said, ta a room dark save for the light of the lamp, the Elder Brethren of the Household were remembered, the men whose bodies lay in Flanders, France, Galipoli and many other battlefielda or in the | depths of the sea, the inen, through whose dying a curtain spirit was created. The silence was broken by the challenge "Let your light no shine before men" and thoughts jass to the great task to which Toe H. is dedicated, of keeping alive that spirit of comradeship and service reborn at such cost in the mad days of war.

In conclusion the Rev. Mr. Ford dealt with some of the "jobs" done by Toc H. members in India.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

In yesterday's articlo I showed you a hand that should be opened with twa no trump, not only be- cause it held a strong five-card suit, but due to the fact that it held many tenace positions.

The holding of intermediate cards or tenace positions-ia usually the most important factor in governing when a hand should be bid at no trump. Howkover.. you will occasionally find a hand that holds no tenace positions but that nevertheless" 'calls for am opening declaration of no trump. For example, take the following hand:

Spades-A-4 Hearts-A-K-4 Diamonds-A-K-Q-7-2 Clubs-K-Q-6.

You have the strong five-card suit necessary for an original two no trump bid. In addition, you have every suit stopped.

What is partner's most likely re- sponse if we open the hand with a diamond? In all probability he will bid spades, which will practi- cally force you into no trump; and all that you have accomplished is to disclose to the enemy where your strength lies.

By opening with an original bid of two no trump, you conceal from your opponents just where your strength lies and at the same time give your partner a fairly complete picture of the strength of your hand.

In order to go game at diamonds you would have to find almost enbuch strength in partner's hand to make a small slam at no trump. However, because you open the bidding at two no trumn, it does not necessarily mean that you are at no going to play the hand trump. For example, supposing partner held the following hand:

Snades 1-10-7-6-5-3-2 Hearts8-2 Diamonds1] Clubs-5-2

If you were to open with a bid of two no trump, and partner held this hand. his proper response Of course would be three shadey,

this is your weak sult and natur- ally you will go on to three no trump.

Partner will then bid four apades and this bid immediately informs you that, while he has a Inne sundo quit, it is not establish- ed at no trump and oven if it were, there is no chance to get into his hand,

Remember, partner is absolutely safe in going to four spades, be cause you have told him that von had strength in every suit, a strong five-card suit and he knows that you must have at least one horour in spades.

If partner were to bid four apades, you should pass because you can now definitely count in your losers. You are going to lose a spade. heart, at least one club trick, and if the diamond suit docs not break, a diamond. In other words, you would need the most favourable of breaks in order to make even there un tramo with this hand with partner announcing a dead hand.
