 Diamond-10. Club-3, ?. We will reverse the bidding and have this as an original bid of one heart. Second hand passes. third hand bids one no-trump. showing one or none in hearts, fourth hand passes, and dealer then bids two spades. We always prefer the major bid to no-trump. as hands have been tested by experts which have proved communicated immediately. before becoming "staled" by having been printed in newspapers. | Clippings from newspapers, of course. are greatly appreciated and are very helpful, but these are sell dom of much use in actually making up the news bulletins. if the bulle- tins are to serve their intended pur- pose and carry real news to women over the state while 1t Is still news Just inc or two VIII DO heip | if 1t conveys some item of informa- ton of value to the news depart ment of the league. Plans for study. number of league members, plans for | local publicity, speakers known to the state appearing before the leagues to speak. changes of local leadership-all or any of these things are wanted very much by the pub licity department. and an effort tt' assist in this way will be very much appreciated by this publicity secre- | tary.
 In fact. keeping in touch in this way with tho publicity center of the state league would be of itself fine activity to add to your plan of work. Thank you.
