Opening Bids and
Five-Card Majors

Ninety per cent of all

opening bids are one in a suit.
You consider opening a bid of
oneina suit when you hold 13
points.
Important: Do not open a 13-
point hand unless your hand
contains: two defensive tricks
and a rebiddable suit or two
biddable suits,

When you hold 14 or more

C. With two five-card suits
bid the higher ranking one first,
and rebid the lower (bid it
twice).

D. With two suits — one a
six-card suit and the other a
five-card suit, bid the six-card
suit first, and bid and rebid the
five-card suit before you men-
tion the six-card suit again,

turning a few gas-saving tricks
into regular driving habits:

Fuel Lines — simply tightening
all fuel lines will eliminate leaks
which can t

gasoline for a cark mix. If
air can't get through the filter,
more gas is used to make up the
mix. Changing a dirty alr filter,
can improve mileage by 10 per
cent,

Starting Off — if the car starts
from a stop smoothly, the gas
required for power is reduced

by 75 per cent. Think of the ~

number of times you stop-and-
goand ber that gas costs

wasted gallons of fuel a year.
Ignition System — the longer it
takes to start the car the more
gas is used. Good points, pluge
and condensor will help as long
as the battery and wiring
syatem are good. = *

Spark Plugs — a single mis-
firing plug can cut mileage by
10 per cent. That can cost $4.60
for every 100 miles,

Faulty Choke — a stubborn or
stuck choke forces the engine to
suck too much gasoline. This
can cut gas mileage by 80 per
cent, or $13.60 for every 100
miles, notes the BCAA.
Clogged Air Filters — a car
uses a certain ratio of air to

you over $600 per year.
Tire Pressure — underinflated
tires can cost more than a mile

per gallon — at a coat of $2.30 +

per 100 miles, Air is still free —
gasoline: is decidedly not. Put
air in the tires instead of extra
gas in the tank,

Idle Warm Up — never leave
the engine idling to warm jt up
{except in severly cold weath-
er), it wastes gasoline and can
cause premature engine wear,
Never race the engine when it
is cold — besides wasting gas it
annoys the neighbors.

Seat Belts — wearing seat belts
can conserve gasoline in many
ways: less likely relatives will
have to drive to visit you in the

hospital, ambul: will not
waste fuel rushing to the scene

of ‘the accident (high speed

driving causes greater fuel

None of these gas-saving

or purse in the form of lower
gasoline coats. |

points and t tricks,
you have what is known as a
‘mandatory opening’ hand. You
must open the auction — re-
gardless of whether your hand
is rebiddable.

How to choose a suit when
opening the bidding:

Best — A major suit
(spades or hearts) with five or
more cards in the suit.

Next Best — A four-card
minor suit (diamonds or clubs).

Third Best — The better
three-card minor suit (diamonds
or clubs).

When your hand contains
two five-card majors, open the
highest ranking, spades, even if
it has no high cards in it:

Spades xxxxx
Hearts AKQJx
Diamonds x
Clubs Ax

Your partner should sup-
port you with at least six points
in his hand and three or more
spades. If partner doesn't sup-
port your spade opening bid,
then rebid your hearts.

You opened spades, so you
promised five to begin with.
When you bid the heart suit
after the spade suit you only
promise four hearts but the
rebid of the heart suit now
shows it was also five long.

An ideal trump suit has
eight or more cards in the com-
bined hands with high honor
cards. Should you happen to
open a suit that has no high
card count, you have a partner!

Partner's high card points
will probably be in the suit you
bid.

Five and six card suits:
A. With suits of unequal
length, bid longer suit first.
B, With suits of equal
length, bid the higher ranking
suit first.
