plot centers around set of football
plays written by a student, stolen,
bet on, recovered and we'll, lots of
things. Mystery surrounds visitors
at the college.
Some of the best local talent will
participate in the production and ad-

one of unusual interest.

PARENT TEACHERS
STATE CONVENTION

DR. c. IL. Thompson, School o
Education, Howard University
Washington, ID. c., spoke on "Obliga-
tions of Parenthood and the Func-
tiun of the Parent Teacher AssOcia-
ton, before five hundred people at
the annual convention of the Del
aware ColOred Parent-Teache AS
sociation, Booker T. Washington
School, Dover, Saturday, April 25.
Considering the Importance of the
family in education, Dr.. Thompson
declared it to be Second in i'm
portance only to the school as an
educational agency. Educators and
scientists realize more and more the
Importance Of home environment in
determining success in school as
we'll as in later life" Here DR..
Thompson cited survey made by
Professor Freeman, Chicago Univer-
sity, of several hundred orphans, be-
fore, and after. placement in homes
of different types, which seemed to
prove the great influence of family
life upon the child. He also referred
to the nursery school movement as
Il uHulOHSl lIdllOli VI Wllctl Celil bS uOhN
for children at an early age.
MANY parents do not have the
proper conception of parenthOOd" ,
said DR.. Thompson. 1T is obvious
that children should not be viewed
as a sort of old age insurance or
financial investment. No parent has
a correct conception of parenthOod
who allows his child to work when
the child ought to he in school. A
child is a precious legacy. Nothing
should prevent his realizing the
hope he should represent of what
the parent wanted to be and could
not"
DR.. Thompson urged the organized
paretns of Delaware ito promote a
better understanding of what the
school is trying to do and to stimu-
late the community to support its
efforts. Parents have been known to
hamper the work of the school be-
cause they did not understand that
some of the activities of the school
were just as important as the three
RS.
NEGRO parents of Delaware
should see that every child of school
age is in school every day school is
open."
In conclusion DR.. Thompson cited
advantages which negro children
have in Delaware in comparison
with other states; longer school
year, teachers better paid and i'm
proved school attedance. However,

No. 10. 1t IS very pretty hand and
the play as given actually took place.
1t IS all the more noteworthy in that
L did not see any of the cards held by
A or B and his play depended on iu-
ference alone. To appreciate how diff
cult his task was, just try to make the
small slam as double dummy propo-
sition. 1t is hands like this one that
make the expert so enjoy the game.
There is satisfaction in fine play of
this type to compensate for many other
bad breaks.
Here is another "end play" Try
your skill and see if you can figure out
the proper solution.

No score, rubber game. T. dealt and

This is a fine example Of the "double

ing the solution that follows.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
Z pass; A pass; y two no trumps;
B pass; Z five spades; A pass; Y six
spades and all pass. The play is the
same both at Auction and Contract.
Solution: Z should win trick No. 2 in
vs. hand with the king of clubs and
discard the trey of hearts from his own
hand. Most players would discard a
diamond at this point, but this discard
will not enable Z to squeeze BIS hand
at the tenth trick. Z should now lead
out his eight winning spades. A is thus

You remember how your mother used
to sift.and resift the -four to make sure
that every particle of foreign matter
had been eliminated? Well, Sanico
Bakery takes the same precaution.
This is not in any way reflection
upon the rlillers who supply our -four.
They are the finest in the country and
ship to us only their highest grade
which has been prepared with the
greatest of care. In fact, they clean
wheat three times before it is ground.
But Sanico Bakery takes the additional
precaution of screening it again! The
interesting machine pictured above is
a blending machine into which sack
after sack of snowy white -four is
poured. 1t blends them perfectly, fine

another sitter before it goes to the

Bakery is justified in following such
exacting methods.
