The French finally succeeded in establishing a few trading bases along the east coast in the early 1800s. ,f A central mountainous plateau dominates the island of Madagascar. The land slopes steeply to a narrow lowland bordering the Indian Ocean in the east and to a somewhat wider coastal plain along the Mozambique Channel in the west. The countrys best soil is found along the coast and in river valleys of the central plateau. Because of the mountainous terrain, only about 5 percent of the land is farmed. The chief food crops are rice, cassava, beans, bananas, corn and sweet potatoes. These commodities are raised mainly for local consumption. Importation of considerable amounts of food, especially rice, is necessary. Cash crops include coffee, cloves, sugarcane and sisal, a fiber yielded by the agave and used for making ropes and rugs. Also, Madagascar provides about 80 percent of the worlds supply of vanilla. Madagascar has an ethnically diverse population of about 9 million. The country has two official languages: the Merina dialect of Mala-gazn a language of origin, and French. Because only about 45 percent of Madagascars adult population is literate, the government passed legislation in 1976 making five years of schooling compulsory. Subsequently, about 85 percent of all children in the 6 to 11 age group attended elementary school and some 11 percent of those between the ages of 12 and 17 were enrolled in secondary school. The 1975 constitution of Madagascar provides for a president, who is popularly elected to a seven-yea- r term; a Peoples National Assembly, the 137 members of which are poputerms; and larly elected to five-yea Supreme Revolutionary Council appointed by the president. Heading the government is a prime minister. Madagascar is a member of the United Nations, the Organizations of African Unity and several other international organizations.

Q.2 Neither vulnerable, as South you hold: 09872 7 AQ84 9Q.J65 The bidding has proceeded: South West Pass East Pass North 1 9 7 What do you bid now? A. In our opinion, it is simply a matter of whether to jump to three hearts or four. Since we have only one ace and no king, and to allow for the possibility that partner opened a bit light in third seat, we think that three hearts for the moment. is sufficient South 2 0 ? West What do you bid now? Don't let that fifth heart get You have a balyou anced hand that is rife with losers. All you can do for the moment is bid two hearts. If there is game in this hand, partner should have enough to make some move over What do you bid now? A. This is the time to throw science to the winds. As far as were concerned, all we need to know is how many aces partner holds. So we would wheel out the old Blackwood four no trump and, if he shows two aces, gamble on the grand slam. Even if he doesn't have a king, we would bet on the spade suit taking care of partners club losers. South Pass East over-excite- your response. Q.4 As South, vulnerable, you hold: A875 9J93 0AQJ987 The bidding has proceeded: 1 0 West Pass North 1 9 East Pass 7 What do you bid now? This hand has slam potential, but as yet you cant even guarantee game. Therefore, we suggest you A. take matters quietly. Dont bypass the spade suit in favor of a jump to three diamonds. You will learn more from partners reaction to a simple bid of one spade. Q.5 Both vulnerable, as South you hold: 96 0AJ83 4K987 KQ107 The bidding has proceeded: North West East South ? I Pass Pass What action do you take? A. Although we dont like to sell out too cheaply, when the opponents are playing in our best suit it is usually wisest to pass. We cant double because partner almost surely will bid hearts, so the only other action is a balancing bid of one no trump. We prefer to pass. Q.6 As South, vulnerable, you hold: 99852 AK8 J65 CQJ9 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South 3 ? Dble What action do you take? A. You have too much to take no action at all it is next to impossible to hope that partner can act again. However, we dont like bidding four hearts with such an emaciated suit. The solution is to double partner should realize that you are acting on general strength rather than with a trump stack, so he can take out if necessary. Four hearts is a close second. 1 For information about Charles new newsletter for bridge players, write Goren Bridge Letter, P.O. Box 4426, Orlando, Fla. 32802 4426.
