Winter Games fast approaching, billeting is becoming a major issue. The people of Terrace have been generous in opening their homes to our athletic guests, but many more billets are still required. If you can make room in your home for one or two or quite a few, call the Winter Games Office at 635-1991 and let them know. Your involve- ment will be appreciated, and I am sure that you will enjoy the ex- perience. - we ion We've seen the souvenirs that accompany the Winter Games and are confident that the people of Terrace will be wanting them. If any of the Terrace merchants would like to carry these items or if anyone would like to set up a booth at a public event where it would be appropriate, just call Marge at the Winter Games Office. One of the events attracting people to these much talked about games will be: DUPLICATE BRIDGE ee Bridge is a partnership game for four, played with a standard deck of cards, You win at bridge by scoring points, which is mainly achieved by taking tricks, A trick is a round of four cards, one from each player, ‘placed face up on the table, clockwise in turn. The game begins with the bidding or auction, and the dealer has the right to speak first. . One of the objects of bidding is ta name the final declaration that will allow the combined hands of you and your partner to win the greatest number of tricks. A suit would be declared as trumps whereby every card of a trump suit is higher than any card of any other suit and will win a trick against anything except a higher trump. Tricks are won by playing the highest card of the suit led, by trumping or by overtrumping. The object is to take as many tricks as possible. . Admittedly, bridge does not strike us as being a sport, but it cer- tainly is a popular winter game. In duplicate Bridge the “hands” are stored in ‘‘boards’’ which are passed from table to table while the competitors regularly change opponents. No pair plays the same hand twice and everyone plays as many different opponents as possible. Winners are determined by comparing the results with everyone else in the contest. a ' Bridge is still a social and entertaining activity, but ‘‘dupticate’’ bridge adds a greater element of competition. Bridge is a game known for. increasing ones memory and concentration. Although | ‘most card games depend mainly on luck, bridge depends much ~more on ability. While Bridge players are noted for taking their game very serious- ly, there is no doubt that it is: enthusiastically enjoyed by those who master the intracacies of the game. I.am sure that the players from throughout the Northwest are looking forward to the competitions - here in Terrace during the Winter Games, Perhaps some of our. focal bridge club members will be giving Marge a call at 635-1991 to offer their homes as billets for our guests. T understand that the chairman of the public relations committee for the Northern B,C. Winter Games has offered her home for “seven billets. We congratulate her on such a generous offer. 1 know she will enjoy her guests and it will fill those spare time hours as well, eins * Terrace Review — Wednesday, November 7, 1990 B5 se ee a i There’s nothing like sand for weighting down the back of your pickup truck or for a little extra traction to get out of those tight winter driving spots. Terrace Scouts will have their annual fund “raising effort, selling bags of sand to motorists, under way soon. This year the Scouts got an added benefit from the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation — the sand bags are being used as weights for testing the recently commissioned lift equipment at the new resort, in exchange for ski passes for the Scouts. -» Regular Games Lucky Dollar ‘SUNDAY: Terrace Athletics Association EVERYONE WELCOME! 7 (Age 14 years and up) 4818 Highway 16 West DOORS OPEN AT 4:30 P.M.
