Info: 947-3828 or The Arts and Crafts Collection The Salado Sawmill, an artisan’s workshop and gallery, has created a line of custom furniture in the Arts and Crafts tradition. With crisp, clean lines, the simple elegance of mission-style furnishings is designed to show off the skill of Christy’s the artisan. While the style of these pieces reflects the early 1900s, it demonstrates a flair for the dramat- of ic through the use of burl, bird’s eye and quarter-sawn lumber. Picture here is the side table in the Arts and Crafts Collection. This piece is Salado made from quarter-sawn White Oak to meet the needs of the customer. Ladies Boutique Master Craftsman Robert Pascoe makes these pieces at the Salado Saw- mill, allowing the customer to specify the dimensions, wood type, color and Christy Arner hardware. Because Pascoe works the project from design through build and finish, you are assured quality at every step. Just bring in a picture or sketch of something that you’re interested in and Pascoe will guide you through the design process. Pascoe has several other lines, including the Texas Tycoon and General Store collections. Main at N. Pace Park The Salado Sawmill, a division of XtraWorX, LLC, is located at 409 Salado P.O.

Better safe than sorry Contract (254) 947-5933 Bridge 861 N. Main • Salado �����������������������������������������(Across from Subway) By Steve Becker Assume you’re declarer at six hearts and West leads the king of diamonds. How would you play the hand?

Obviously, you have to

3-2, as they will be two- thirds of the time, you have no other losers. As a careful declarer, however, you should also be considering what, if Salado anything, can be done if the missing clubs are divided 4-1 or 5-0. And, after CIGARS giving this possibility suf- ficient thought, you should realize that if you take the proper preliminary steps, you can overcome even a Premium Handmade Cigars, bad club break.

But if West wins the Madame Alexander diamond, he is no better Classic Collection off. Regardless of which club he returns, you merely play low from dummy and BREYER automatically avoid losing a club trick. Any other return by West gives you a ruff-and-discard. Lee Middleton Note that the outcome would be exactly the same Dolls if East started with four or five clubs. He would pre- sumably win the diamond, but would have no safe exit card. Of course, if it turns out that the clubs are divided 3-2, all your preparatory SUPER CROSSWORD ANSWERS maneuvers will turn out to have been unnecessary.
