CONTRACT
BRIDGE
BY EASLEY BLACKWOOD

Partnership hands that fit we'll
are hands that take a lot of
tricks. Using the dynamic point
count, Mr., Dale revalued his hand
after getting a double raise from
Mrs. Keen. To his 16 points in
high cards he now added two
points for his singleton spade
and four points for the length
and solidity of his supported
heart suit. This came to %
points, or slightly better than
seven tricks. Mrs. Keen's jump
to three hearts had promised is
points or five playing tricks. So.
after checking to make sure that
his side had at least three of the
aces, Mr.. Dale put the hand in a
small slam.

opening lead. King OF spades.
1t is not always possible to
know at the beginning of hand
which of your high cards will be
valuable and to what uses they
may be put. In today's deal, for
example, the jack of spades in
Mrs. Keen's hand looks like a
useless card. Actually it turned
out to be the key card in Mr..
Dale's line of play.
When the king of spades was led
and won by dummy's ace, Mr..
Dale saw that he had IL readily
available winners. He had one
spade, six hearts, a diamond, two
clubs and a club ruff in dummy
The 18th trick could come from a
successful finesse in either clubs
or diamonds. AS you see, both of
these illnesses would fail. Since it
appeared from the opening lead
that the queen of spades was in
the West hand. Mr.. Dale thought
he had line of play which would
bring home the contract without
the risk of any f1nesse at all.
He started his preparation by
leading a small spade from dunn
my at trick two and ruffing it.
He led small heart to the ace,
returned another low spade and
ruffed it. After pulling the last
outstanding trump he cashed the
king and ace of clubs and ruffed
his last club.
With the stage set, he now led
dummy's Jack of spades and dis
carded the trey of diamonds from
his hand. Mr.. Abel won with the
queen of spades and had the sour
choice of returning a club or a
diamond. If he chose a club Mr..
Dale would ruff in dummy and
discard the queen of diamonds
from his hand. A diamond lead
would go into the ace-queen. He
chose the latter alternative and
Mr.. Dale spread his hand for IL
tricks.

Georgetown Getting
Ready For Xmas

It may be a long time until
Christmas, but the Georgetown
Chamber of Commerce, holding its
first meeting of the new season
at Midland Grange Hall Monday
evening, devoted much of it's busi-
ness sessi 4 to the holiday shop
ping season.
Harvey e. Nelson, president,
who presided, appointed James F.
Walls and Robert Snowden as a
special committee to plan for
Christmas street lighting which
they have. been asked to make
more striking than ever before.
c. Robert Godfrey, promotional
editor of the Sussex Countian, was
speaker of the evening. He told of
the weekly's new hospitality plan
which will include a welcome to
each new family moving into the
town. A note will be presented
them from Mayor Harvey B. Spicer
and the family will be interviewed
and photographed for the news
paper.
The purpose, Mr.. Godfrey ex-
planned, is to make new families

Benjamin Banneker
School News

On Wednesday, September 4, 1857,
the hall of Banneker School re-
sounded with the pealing of the
bells announcing the beginning of
another school year. The class
rooms bulged with the enrolment
of 289 pupils.
The children were greeted in as
sembly by the principal, Mr.. C. N.
Goslee. He wished for all joyful
and prosperous year. 1t was his
hope that the year would be mark
ed with many great accomplish
ments.
The faculty was introduced to the
student body, and they seemed over
whelmed with the return of Mrs.
Russell who had been on leave of
absence the previous year.
Due to the fine work of the GUS
todians the classrooms were ready
for immediate occupancy. The first
and second grades now occupy the
two new modern facilitated class
rooms. This was one of the pro-
jects of the last building program.
This project has relieved IN part,
the shortage of classroom space.
Due to the fact that school was in
session for one half day periods the
first week, the school machinery
did not get into full swing until
Monday. On that day the enrolment
had increased to 3O4 pupils. Enroll
ment in all grades is above our
expectation. The school enrolment
by grades is as follows: Grade one
40 pupils, grade two 33 pupils,
grade three 40 pupils, grade four
"a pupils, grade five 80 pupils, grade
six 80 pupils grade seven 29 pupils,
grade eight 80 pupils and grade
nine 27 pupils.
Our large enrolment has worked
a hardship on the seating capacity
of our cafeteria. It is hoped that
in the not too far distant future the
new approved building program for
which funds have already been
granted will alleviate the congested
condition of our cafeteria.
