was only l down at the turn.
Queen Helen required Al strokes
for the outgoing nine, three
strokes more than she took yes

5 and 4, in the second round.
On the other hand, Miss Brown
was on top of her game in today'S
round, requiring but 40 to the
turn, including a 6 on the para
fifth and a 5 on the par-3 ninth
holes. On the latter hole. she
was on the green in two and re-
quired three to go down.
But the back stretch Of five
holes saw Miss Brown golf up to
her true proportions, making
every hole in par-19 strokes for
the five, while Mrs. Stokes re-
quired three over par.

three, missed, and missed coming
back She had a 10-footer on
the eighteenth for 78, but the
ball stopped short of the pin.
Mrs. ]. F.. De Farges went one of
the longest matches Of the day.
When last seen she was trudglng
along the twentieth fairWay {.

she said.
Mrs. P. j. Winkler was defeated
by Mrs. Frank Helan of Manor

Is More Opportunities
To Be Offered Tomorrow
None of Remaining Eight of Original List of rs
Taken Since Wednesday; Only Nine Days Re-
main in Which Other Needy Can Be Provided

Not a single one of the remaining
eight of the original list OF 70 Chilst-
mas Opportunities of needy families
in the city and vicinity had been
taken this afternoon since the last
report was made Wednesday, although
interest in the fate of the needy cases
is still running high, according to IN
dications.
Arrangements have been made to
list an additional 13 needy families
tomorrow. That will make a total OF
80 in all that will hGve been presented
o the public to De provided for at this
Christmas.
The response that has been made
so far has been very gratifying to
those sponsoring the undertaking,
which is an annual project at Christ
mas The Daily Dispatch has for many
years offered these opportunities to
the people of the community, and
there has never yet been a time when
any one of those offered was not pro-
vded for. The Salvation Army lnves-
tigates and presents all cases and
guarantees the merit of each.
The most ever provided for at any
one Christmas season was slightly
more than fifty. 1t has been thought
that it would be highly commendable
of the community if that number
could be exceeded this season. Any one
interested in providing for a needy
family is asked to contact the Sal
walton Army, telephone No. SOP.
Following are the eight remaining
cases of the original list that have
not yet been provided for.
