Let's Play Bridge Misplaced finesses cost tricks in a rare hand
In a bridge column, the dealer East opens, and several declarers err by finessing. The correct plan is to lead diamonds to the king, then back, hoping for a heart split, and to ruff diamonds in dummy rather than finesse. The lesson: avoid unnecessary finesses when distribution supports simple plays.

Brief Local Happenings and Cultural Notes
A note of early spring color appears as crocuses bloom. Residents mourn the loss of Rev. Ritchie McMurray but await a replacement. With the hockey season nearing end, local boys tried baseball outdoors for the first time last weekend. A doctor who guided a family through crisis earns lasting tribute in their memories. Many recall Dr. Kenney and his associations with them and their children. Free Press copies sent to malls arrive this week in a new wrapper bearing the Dills Printing crest, signaling a refreshed plant print design.
