Jacoby on Canasta and Discards in Our Column
A Canasta question from Mrs. J C Bowery of San Bernardino asks how to handle a discard when a partner can take a king but no canasta is yet formed. Jacoby explains that the discard stands and the aces become penalty cards to be discarded or melded in future turns, with outcomes depending on draws and possible calls. Also reports on a fatal birth incident in Greencastle, teen arrests for signaling lights, and a DDT shipment to Korea with 500 pounds powder and 500000 gallons liquid ordered for UN forces.
