Looking the hand over. Mr..
Champion noted that he had
two sure losers in the side suits
one club and one heart. He
was willing to lose one trick in
spades but planned to take
every possible precaution to
prevent the loss of two tricks in
that suit.
At the second trick he led
dummy's king of spades, at which

toward dummy's jack. Mrs.

Mr.. Champion won the club

then led the four of spades from

he was able to pick up both of

AS you see, this play would

I would have got exactly the
same result. l would have led a
small spade and flnesSed dunn

Miss Brash would have won

Final Plans For
Route I3 Completed
By Highway Department
CONTINUED rom first 80

CONTINUED from first page)
Mr.. McKendrick stated at that
time it was hoped to have the two
projects needed to complete the
work along this route, under con-
tract by the end Of the present cal
endar year.
Construction of U. S. Route 1S
into a dual or divided highway was
started by the Highway Department
when the first additional lanes were
/ CONSTRUCTED from Wilmington south
to State Road.
Following the completion of that
project the work continued with
additional sections being construct
ed every few years and in the mean
time the Philadelphia Pike. leading
from Wilmington north to the
Pennsylvania Line, was widened
and improved.
Several years later the Governor
Printz Boulevard was constructed
from Wilmington to ClaymOnt as a
dual, or divided highway, providing
another traffic artery to the north
from Wilmington for traffic along
U. S. Route 13.
When the conversion of U. S.
Route 13 into divided highway
continued southwark to Dover the
work was halted for. a time, and
hen the war years interferred with
further construction work on the
project
Following the war years the con-
version of this highway into a di-
Vided highway was resumed with
the construction of a section as a
bypass east of Dover, after which |
the construction work was moved
into Sussex County where a unit. |
south Of Greenwood to Bridgeville,
was constructed.
Soon thereafter the section from |
Bridgeville to Seaford was COM
0leted and this was followed by
the construction of the section |
from SesfOrd to Laurel and later
the. section from Laurel to the
Maryland line at a point east Of
Delmar.
Later the section from the end of
the. Dover Bypass to Canterbury
was constructed and this was fol-
lowed by the section from Canter-
bury to Harrington.
