 When East opens the queen of diamonds, the declarer can see that there is nothing to making his con- tract if the heart suit will break. However, if this suit will not break he will have to depend upon some kind of squeeze play to produce-his

reduction of 10 per cent in the sal
aries of all school employees, in
cluding those in Wilmington, re-
gardless of the amount they are now
receiving.
So much opposition to the bill de-
velOped from the Democratic side of
the House that action was deferred
for an indefinite period. Represen-
tative Scott, Democratic floor leader,
said it was unfair to try to force
through an act of this kind without
giving all the members an oppor-
tunity to study its provisions and 1t
was on his motion that the House
decided to hold it up.
The bill is the one recommended
by the joint legislative budget COM

roads literally bordered with these
beautiful blossoms. OF course, all
apple trees in blossom time are pic
turesque and not all of the large
orchards are located on concrete
highways, but De1aware's system OF
highways is such that it is possible
to view hundreds of acres without
getting off tile concrete road.
The principal commercial produc-
ing sections are located in the Wy

sired. it is suggested that the visitor
travel north 20 Dover. then to Can
