D. Chalk, commissioner of game and Inland fisherles in charge of the Asheville division office.

"Every spring brings forth its collection of so-called 'orphans of the wild'." Mr. Chalk said. "By far the majority of these young birds and animals were picked up by persons who 'thought' they had become lost or had been abandoned by their ents. Nature has her own way par: taking care of things, and very few of these young creatures really were orphaned or lost. Yet people continue to pick them up despite the man and partly in English.

First, he has no assurance that he will get two club tricks against this bidding: second, it does not pay to double unless there is more than one way of defeating the 3. The opening club trick contracted. the ace and king of spades cashed.

then the heart finesse taken. Another club is played and ruffed. East must not try to draw the last trump but must lead a heart, letting the lone trump make and discarding diamonds on the good hearts. The opening club must be ruffed with the heart nine, a spade played finchecking and the eight of hearts club is led and ruffed.
