Solons Back Big State Social Service Budget
Lawmakers approved an $184 million appropriation for the state social service department after debate over age aid cuts and the impact of Social Security increases. Rep. Joan Lipsky urged deleting $1 million in CAA funds citing financial strain and potential discrimination. OAA recipients face possible grant reductions as prior patterns tied increases to new income. Additional centers listed include Cedar Rapids and Town City with modest allocations.

YMCA to Accept Final Registrations for Summer Youth Programs
Central branch and Harrison facility will host Saturday sign ups 8:30 a.m. to noon for swimming, softball, baseball, gym classes, and three on three leagues. A roster of names, addresses, and phone numbers will be kept for transportation planning. Legislation caps alcoholism funds at 15 percent of the $1 million appropriation, risking smaller centers like Oakdale receiving $224,000 and limiting treatment resources.

In Bridge Two Heads Better Than One Not Proved
In bridge writing the author notes two heads may be better than one but questions the claim. The discussion centers on a hand where South can count eight sure winners and seeks a ninth in spades or diamonds. South abandons a plan to establish the fourth spade due to constraints in the play.

Bridge hand logic on diamond sente in endgame
The defender plans to cash diamonds and force captures to maximize tricks. With two spades and two hearts plus the ace of diamonds, the dummy’s fourth diamond becomes the sole hope if East and West each hold three diamonds. The play hinges on who holds the ace and maintaining control to avoid capping honors. South leads diamonds, Dumminy’s jack wins, return by clubs, then another low diamond. West must cover the ace, yielding only spot cards while South secures three diamond tricks and completes the contract.
