RED CROSS.
NOTES
"The war may last two years , .
the worst is .ahead ..:' the Axis only
hope' of v1etory• now lies in weari-
ness . or sleekness in the Allied
camp." At the beginning of a new
season, and with 1944' not so.very far
away, we cannot do better than pass
along these words of Prime Minister
Winston' 'Churchill. They *ere . ad-
dressed to delegates who represent-
ed several million British women- enc
gaged. In war effort.
And Dr. F. W. Routley, National
•Commissioner of • Red Cross, states
that there is a greater need than ev-
er for volunteer women workers.
When you consider she thousandse of
tons of Red Cross supplies that have
already, gone into North Africa, it is
easy to see• what vast reserves must
be built ep to keep pace with the
Widening scope of Allied operations.
' To do this, Red Cross volunteers
anrr'st keep up the magnificent pace
they have,. set for themselves. It is
not time to alt baok, • yet. If we are
to meet'onr commitments as they are
to be met, Red Cross volunteers
throughout r the Dominion must stick
lo the job and see it througih.

SEAFORTHB-OY VEINS•
TENNIS HONORS
Extract From Surrey Her-
ald, England; of Sep-
tember`24, 1948.
Whilst presenting the, trophies to
the winners , and runners-up 'of the
Walton Tennis • Club championship
finals at Stompod Lane on Sunday,
the Club President" (Mr. K. G. Dur -
mat) congratulated the players upon
the manner in which they had com-
peted for the honors of the • annual
tournament. In, many cases the .final
scores didnot convey the dire s rirg-
gle for supremacy which both success-
ful and• losing competitoryhad dis-
played, and ire every case the matches
witnessed had been very interesting
and much enjoyed by all who support-
ed the event.
In the Ladies' Singles, Miss A.
Barnes, opposed to Miss E. Ashcroft,
did not find her form until the sealed
set, Whioh left it rather too late, re-
sulting in a win for Miss Ashcroft
6.0, 613, whilst in the Men's 'Singles
that well known player, 3. Reardon,
displaying his usual accuracy, beat
D. J. Sheldon by 6-0, 6•0. Two very
young competitors, Miss D. Bubb and
Miss J. Humphrey, who had done so
well in reaching the finals in the Lad=
les' Doubles, should develop into a
very useful combination when they
have attained that extra courteraft
which experience • will 'give them.
Their exhibition against Miss E. Ash-
croft and Miss V. Davidson was very
creditable, although the final scores
in favor Of the latter were -`6-1, 6-2.
The Men's Doubles was an • excit-
ing struggle from start to finish. , J.
Reardon, partnered by A. Shepley,
had to extend every effort to eclipses
the 'hard hitting and accurate -net
player, A. Turnbull, who was partner-
ed by E. Powl.ey. As bhe final scores
*illeindicate the heavte was in doubt
until the last, point had been won by
Reardon and Shepley, who took the
match by 6-1, 3-6, .6-4.
The Mixed Doubles again produced
a really first class game in spite of
the fact that some of the competitors
nad already appeared in previous fin-
als during the afternoon. Both Miss
E. Ashcroft and J, Reardon retained'
their pace throughout, but were un-
able to turn the match in their favor
against the magnificent 'ball control
of Mrs. `B' Coley and the "smashing"
of A. Turnbull, who subsequently rah
out winners by 6:4, 6-4.
During. the. afternoon" a collection
was made which will be handed over
to tido local Maternity Home.
