The following aaeoun in the

r..ent{y enjoyed by Port Albert foot
ball-. team and their fiends at -WaI-
ton; "Members of the Flying Squad-
rot football team and their party of
Supporters had an adventurous night
on the oecaeiou of their visit to
Brussels on Friday. July 1:\. The
journey to Brussels was :narked by
terrile thunderstorms and it was
still teeming with rain on -arrival.
In the hope that the weather would
clear. postponement was delayed un-
til the last possible minute. but
eventuallg the match had to be put
off until the following Monday. Mrs.
M. Kirby, the proprietress of the
Queen's Hotel, had prepared meals
for both teams, 'but a$ the Brussels
team had failed to put in an appear-
anee the good fare was appreciative-
ly tacked away by the R. A. F. t.tam
and their supporters: Following fur-
ther entertainment by the hospit•
able vltlzens of Brussels• the party
commenced their return journey by
way of Seaforth. ae the road con-
necting Brussels with Blyth was in
part: under water. Striking Walton.
the party were invited to a dance
and were also regaled with hot cof-
fee and sandwiches by the good-
hearted people. Duce more the Air-
men set out for camp and bed. but
this was not to be. for very few
miles had been covered before the
lorry ran out of petrol. F; Sgt. Pirie
did a good scrounging act and ob-
tained a supply of the necessary
spirit from a local farmer and once
more the party wended its homeward
way. By this time they had lost the
mast of their liveliness and were
huddled on the dear of the lorry
under the tarpaulin in an endeavor
bath to keep warm and dry. Their
misery was net at all helped by the

ST. COLUMBAN
The following account of a recent
Port Albert -St. Columban game ap-
pears in the -Compass News," Head-
quarters -2, St. Columban-1. With
the Southern Group cup at stake it
was not surprising that the third clash
of the season between Headquarters
and St. Columban produced some rath-
er boisterous football, but there was
no questioning the merit of the win-
ners who except for one or two short
periods maintained an almost contin-
uous ascendancy. Their football was
always the more polished and if they
did not win by a. greater margin it
was due more to the way in which
their opponents packed their goal ra-
ther than outstanding defensive abil-
ity. From the outset the airmen set-
tled down to play clever constructive
football which even the wild tackling
of their opponents failed to break up,
Carrigan and Lonsdale 'were a partic-
ularly effective partnership on the
right and their scintillating passing
frequently had the Columban men
completely nonplussed. Dunn in the
centre proved the alert and versatile
leader and though hampered by the
determined shadowing of It. Dolmage
succeeded in putting ant mane neat

"Spud" Reilly. who wired at the last
minute of his inability to turn out,
proved a worthy substitute for the
Norwich City player and proved a con-
stant source of inspiration to his col-
leagues. Ever ready to open out play
with well planned constructive passes
Lowe never allowed himself to become
harrassed in the face of the most
fierce St. Columban attack, and he un-
doubtedly stood out as the player of
the match, Whittle and Jacques were
a sturdy and resolute pair of backs
whose trenchant tackling and power•
ful kicking constantly broke up the
St. Columban threats. During the op-
ening half, Cooper, a sound goal-
keeper, was only called upon on two
occasions, but each time he met the
charging St. Columban forwards with.
out flinching. At the other end the St.
Columban goalkeeper had a particle.

tried all they knew they could not get
the all important goal. Much of their
efforts were followed by the fine de-
Pensive play of T. Malady, who was
easily the best St. Columban player,
though Mcivor was a promising half•
back, Soon after the resumption how-
ever. the airmen's peraerverance met
with just reward. A long pass to the
wing was fastened on to by Carrigan
who after eluding Melvor showed the
St. Columban defence a clean pair of
heels. Steadying himself. Carrigan
dropped the ball into the goalmouth
where Thurgood running in, scored a
really Rue goal. Encouraged by their
success the airmen set up an even
more persistent pressure for a time,
but eventually this petered out and
there were some fiery rushes by the
St. Columban men. Unfortunately
tempers became frayed and following
an incident in the Headquarters goal -
mouth, a St. Columban player was
given marching orders, but the pun.

Columban continued to attack and af-
ter 15 minutes they equalised. (Cooper

but before he could get rid of the ball
he was crnwdad l'y the opposition
forwards who eventually forced him
to drop the ball. and John O'Connor
running in from the touchline drove
the ball into the untenanted net with
a shot which I doubt would have been
stopped even had the goalkeeper been
in position. This reverse effectively
put new life into the airmen and raid
after raid was launched only to be
nulliled either by overeagerness on
the part of the inside forwards or the
wall-like packing the Canadians off-
ered. Dunn was continually in the pic-
ture during this period and he it was
who eventually regained the lead.
Snapping up a stray pass down the
middle, he took the ball in his stride,
shook off the hampering efforts of the
St. Columban backs and drove the
ball into the net well out of the goal-
keeper's reach. it was really a picture
goal, Subsequently the St. Columban
men tried hard to get on terms, but
the airmen's defence did not again
falter and ie the closing stages they
were well on top, Teams: Headquart-

BOOK REVIEW
"Holidaying In Canada On
The Ottawa River"
By S. Rupert Broadfoot, K.C,
A copy of the book "Holidaying in
Canada on the Ottawa River," has
been received at this office. The
author is S. Rupert Broadfoot, K.C„
of Ottawa, and the book is under the
distinguished patronage of His Ex-
cellency the Earl of Athlone, Gover-
nor General of Canada, and Her Roy-
al Highness the Princess Alice, The
profit from the sale of the book,
goes to The Queens Canadian Fund.
There are approximately 200 pages
containing memories of the Royal
Visit, and considerable other patriot-
ic matter in prose and verse, with a
wide variety of interests.
The list of the fleet to order copies
of the book begins with "My name-
sake William Wallace Broadfoot, R. R,

ly by his late father for our family
hero, Sir William Wallace, the Liber
ator of Scotland,"

pine's merchant fleet.
India, ancient builder of ships, is
preparing to launch vessels equal to
the best of the West. Hongkong has
two yards building handy cargo car-
riers up to 5,000 tons one of them,
the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock
Co., last year buIit not only the
hull of a fast modern cargo boat but
also her main propelling engines,
the largest marine power unit which
has come out of China.
Although South Africa has no real
shipbuilding industry, Durban's well
equipped repairing yard and dry
dock are most valuable to -day when
shipping goes round the Cape in-
stead of through Suez.
In- the last eighteen months Aue e
ralia has greatly extended her ship-
building resources. A new ebipyard,
employing alta anew, is 1a 4ng
established at Whyalla, South Aust-
ralia, to build ships of up to 12,000
torts. The famous Cocltatoo Inland
yard call build four ships at one time,
while Mort's Durk, Sydney, eau turn
out two large and several small ves-
sels aimultaneonsly, Both Port Adel-
aide and Williamstown, with experi-
ence of building ships in the last
war, stili possess expert labor. The
equipment of tate Commonwealth to
handle the engineering side of ship-
building is shown by the orders to
the value of 4250,000 for merles
propelling engines and auxiliary
machinery recently placed in Queens-
land.
Canada has now more than doub-
led the 4.000 skilled workers em-
ployed before the war in her 40
shipbuilding and repairing estab-
lishments. Contracts for eighteen
merchant vessels, each of 9,300 tons
carrying capacity have just been
placed in Quebec, Montreal and Van-
couver. It is expected that in about
a year's time the first of them will
be sent down the ways.
These ships from the Empire, to-
gether with the reservoir of new ton-
nage in U.S.A., are au important
addition, increasing month by month,
to the growing expansion of Britain's
own war time fleet of merchantmen.
