Meet civilized Jim the hitch hiking Crow by the associated press one pet on the Lorence Hubbell Dairy farm at Hastings mich., in t con Vinced that distances Are Shorter As the Crow , a 2-year-old Crow gets a great kick out of Riding in a car on a tractor or on the shoulders of anyone in the Hubbell family. Recently he feigned injury along a Sid Road and was picked up by neighbors who drove him to their Home but could Fin nothing wrong with wily Bird. They Learned he was the Hubbell pet and re turned him. He was mighty glad to be Back say mrs. Hubbell. He sat on a Fence and just  she was surprised at his wandering away.

Yet there was very sound reasoning behind West s Choice. The auction was eminently sound. South found himself the proud possessor of two virtually self sufficient suits and 24 Points counting High cards and distribution. He accordingly opened the bidding with two hearts a Dafter North s positive response he showed his other suit. When North supported diamonds South embarked on a Blackwood Call to find out whether there was six or seven in the hand. North was forced to deny having an Ace so the partnership had to Settle fora Small slam in diamonds. West went into a huddle land emerged with a neat plan of at  saw us. A reasonable expectancy that Dummy would spread a very Good Spade suit As Well As ample Trump support. Twas inconceivable that South held two losing clubs else he could hardly bid a slam when the opening Lead of that suit was clearly indicated by the  the other hand he could hardly be void else he would surely not have resorted to the use of Blackwood to conduct his investigation. Therefore Declarer must hold a Singleton  one Hope to beat the hand was to. Find East with a club entry. So though it involved by passing the top three Honor sin the suit. West led the four of clubs and East was bewildered to find himself holding the trick. Not too bewildered however to forget to return a Spade for the defeat of the contract  1039.
