Short club in bridge strategy and a bicentennial program
An excerpt discusses short club usage in bridge with three cautions for opening. It follows with a puzzle of reaching five clubs after a club opening and a note about three notrump. Then a bicentennial event in Sigourney features a Keokuk county program with a pioneer dinner. In Philadelphia, Congress adopts Washington’s proposal to raise a German battalion for continental service and to set up gun batteries on the St Lawrence, hiring Indians for military use.
