At suit contracts very high
proportion of the 13 tricks are
won by aces, king, queens and
jacks. In no trump contracts
race usually develops between
the declarer and the defenders
as to which one can first set up
the small cards in a long suit.
For example if the opponents
arrive at a four heart contract
and you hold the A K 8 5 8 of
spades you can expect to take no
more than the ace and king.
Against no trump contract,
however, you stand an excellent
chance of winning tricks w i t h
your small spades.
Consequently, your opening
lead, with the A K 8 5 3 of
spades, will depend on whether
the opponents are in a suit con-
tract or in a no trump contract.
Against the three no trump
contract on today's hand, if West
had elected to open the king
of spades in order to look at
dummy" declarer would have
fulfilled his contract easily. No
matter what West would lead at
trick two, declarer would have
time to knock out East's diamond
ace, thereby establishing his own
diamond suit.
But when West opened small
spade declarer could take no
more than eight tricks-four
clubs, three hearts and spade.
When declarer Rocked out
East's diamond ace, East re-
turned his remaining spade, and
Vests eight and three of spades
both became winners.
Had South been in a suit con-
tract rather than three no
trump the correct opening lead
would have been the king of
spades.

MinisterIng
Circle Sale
Benefits City

Funds raised from the Minis
tering Circles Christmas bazaar
this Saturday morning (an an
nual event looked forward to by
all Wilmingtonians) will be used
to carry on the work of the
circle in Wilmington.
The Ministering Circle main
tains two memorial rooms in
James Walker Memorial hospi-
tai. This was first begun in 1909
and during that first year 20
patients were able to use the
room. During the past year 28O
patients have had the use of the
memorial rooms there.
The membership of the Min
istering Circle is composed of SO
representative women of Will
mlngton. The quota has always
been membership of so per-
sons. No new member is ever
taken in except in the case of
death or resignation of mem
bers. Mrs. Fred E. Little is
president of the circle. Each
president serves two year
term of office.
The work of this organization
is a valuable asset to the COM
munity, in that it also maintains
a public health nurse who pays
regular visits to patients who
are unable to secure the serv-
ices of paid nurses.
An added attraction to the
bazaar will be the lovely small.

Had Long Run
On Broadway

The new Thalian play, my
Sister Eileen" which will be pre-
sented next Monday and Tues
day at the Chestnut Street
School auditorium, had long
and successful run in New York
and Chicago.
The New York Sun drama cri-

it, "There is warming and
friendly quality about the play,
and a believable sense of the
wonder, the laughter, the touch
of amiable insanity and the air
OF camping out. which, those
who have graduated from life ir
Greenwich Village tell US, were
the stuff of life in that fascina.

existence"
Another reviewer states thai
the play added greatly to the
cheer of New York at Christmas
time when it opened on Decem.

Senate Decision Due
Today on Permanent
Transfer Of USES
By the Associoted Press

The Senate decides today the fate
Of President Trumans proposal to
keep the United States Employment
Service in the Labor Department.
The permanent transfer is part of
Mr.. Truman's reorganization plan
No. 2, on which the Senate must say
no" before midnight to prevent its
becoming effective.
Chairman Taft of the Labor Com
mittee said he would seek an agree
ment to vote at 2::30 pm. Senator
Taft and Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota, who headed a sub
committee which studied the plan,
split on the proposal. Senator Ball
favored it, while Senator Taft voted
in the committee to uphold House
action rejecting the plan.
Under last years Reorganization
Act. plans submitted by the Presi-
dent become effective after so days

The Labor Department reorgani-

The most controversial feature.
however, is the proposal to retain
permanently the USES in the de-
partment, where it now is under
