 3. South holds the king of hearts, the suit bid by North. He also holds the ace and king of diamonds, the suit bid by him on the second round, and the ace of clubs. There fore, as North must hold two aces and the king of a bid suit, South can definitely place the ace and king of spades and the ace of hearts in his hand.
 4. The bidding should go: South North
 spade 2 hearts 4 diamonds no trump
 no trump diamonds ' no trump Pass The hand of course would pro- duce seven diamonds, but seven spades would be defeated by an opening diamond lead.

 Inasmuch as summer resort em- ployment falls into a specialist class, the seventeen other branch offices of the employment service have g limited number of applicants for such work and the establishment of large central file will facilitate the placements Tn the future ap- plications for such work will be taken at all branch offices and then forwarded to the Hartford office where they will receive speedy at- tention.
 The new system, lnaugurated a short time ago, already has proven a success and managers of all branches arg conducting vigorous field campaign to acquaint employ CTS of summer resort help to avail themselves of the state service Such an employer when seeking a worker may apply at any branch where his request immediately k forwarded to Hartford ano persons qualified for she position, are noti- fled immediately, then arrange ments are made for interviews with the prospective employer. The new arrangement permits a prospective employer to interview the applicar for the job win minimum of time and expense. Tn the past 1t was found that often summer resol employer might apply to q branch office for a particular type of em- ploye only to learn that there were no such qualified job-scekers on file at that particular office, thus nCces- sltating contacts with several other offices before a desirable applicant was located.
 Most of the jobs in the summer resort group comprise those of cooks, stewards, nurses, bartenderS sandwich men and restaurant coun- ter men and swimming instructors for summer hotels, Inns and camps

Young c. o. P. Clubs
 To Meet In Branford
tSate Meeting Called for Tomorrow Evening-State
 Treasurer Talbot on List of Principal Speakers

A meeting of the New Haven County Young Republican organi- zation will be held on Tuesday evening at Double Beach in Bran ford. The meeting which Is expect cd to draw a crowd of over four hundred people from all sections Of the county will get underway at 8:30 and will be presided over by Clarence Andrews of North Haven President of the County young c. o. P.
 State Treasurer Joseph F. Talbot will be one of the principal speak CTS and from all indications the meeting tomorrow promises to be one of the most important that the group has staged since the first Of the year.
 Treasurer Talbot, who incidental ly ran far ahead of his ticket during the last state election, is making hundreds Of new friends through out the state. From present indica- tions 1t appears that Talbot might be the republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1940. If this should happen 1t will mean that Talbot would oppose United States Senator Francis T. Maloney, who comes up for reelection in 1940.
 The Young Republicans through out the entire state of Connecticut intend to support the candidacy of Talbot in the event that there is a possibility for him to secure the nomination. It appears at present that there is very great possibility that he will secure the coveted place on the republican state ticket.
 Other state officials will address the gathering and plans will be for mulated for the purpose of making the New Haven Unit of the state c. o. P. more effective than 1t has ever been in the past.
