Massage therapy is one of the most Reporter monthly. effective ways to reduce stress and many other conditions. Few people know the full benefits of massage. For those of you who don't, you may be surprised by what you're missing. Massage dilates or opens up blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion. Massage increases the number of red blood cells, espe- cially in cases of anemia. It acts as a mechanical cleaner pushing along lymph and hastening the elimina- tion of wastes and toxic debris. It relaxes muscles and relieves tension, it increases the blood supply and nutrition to the muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary mus- cle contractions. Massage thus helps to overcome harmful fatigue products resulting from strenuous exer- | cise or injury. Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity. Massage can compensate, at least in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in persons because of injury, illness or age, are forced to remain inactive. In these cases, massage helps return veinous blood flow to the heart and so eases the strain on this vital organ.

Opening lead — three of spades. In most rubber bridge games, this might be chalked up to bad luck, but in duplicate, declarer would realize he had blundered. By comparing his result with other declarers who played the same hand, he would learn that most of them had made the contract even though they also misguessed the heart finesse. The key play occurs at trick one, when declarer should go up with the ace of spades. He then plays the king and another heart, planning to finesse. This approach guarantees the contract, come what may. When dummy comes down, South can see nine sure tricks — a spade, four hearts, a diamond and three clubs — and he should not jeopardize them by playing a low spade from dummy at trick one.
