Allied headquarters disclosed

largest single force of its type
ever masSed, has begun smash
ing at Axis ships off southern
Sardinia in what appeared to be
an attempt to wreck an enemy
"Dunkergue fleet" for escape
from Tunisia.
Dispatches said the great
striking force of Fortresses,
strongly escorted by fighters,
attacked the Sandman port Of
Cagliari yesterday, hitting five
merchant ships and 81 smaller
craft.
In addition, the Allied raid
crs destroyed or damaged 81
aircraft on the ground and shot
down IA Axis fighter planes in
attacks on three Sandman air
dromes, it was announced.
All Allied planes returned

Country Clubs

The situation wasn't too nealtny.
Golf clubs were transformed into
elaborate country clubs. They were
more like night clubs with gymnas-
tic facilities available upon request.
Every locker held its quota of liq-
uid refreshments. Club officials
were in an expansive frame of mind.
The depression changed the pic
ture. Almost all clubs were forced
to retrench-some of them closed.
Players didn't have the money to
spend and golfng costs became
more moderate.
The end of this war won't see an
other era of gaudiness. Today's
players represent truer cross Sec
ton of the public as a whole. More
and more workers are playing the
game, and they aren't going to give
it back to the playboys.
Such situation augurs well for
the game. With such huge in
vestment in the sport, it would be
worse than folly to allow its appeal
to be narrowed. Two USGA officials
George Blossom, president, and
Joe Dey, secretary-have compiled
some amazing figures for your in
spection.
Their figures show that a known
total Of 1881 900 play the game ON
5000 golf courses comprising more
than a half-million acres. II has
been estimated that the clubs used
more than 600, 200 caddies.
The wages paid to caddies ran
more than $50, 100000 year. These
figures haven't included the amounts
paid to thousands of professionals,
green's keepers and other workers
needed by each course.
Statistics tell only part of the sto-
ry. Golf has big advantage over
any other sport. It provides exer-
else for player and spectator alike.
The average spectator following a
big match gets fully as much exer-
else as the player. His ditch-jump-
ing six-mile hike definitely is good
for the muscles. And the gate re-
ceipts of the major tournaments help
boost golf as big business in any
mans language.
When war was declared in De-
cember of 1871 the investment in
golf was estimated at $726, 000, 900.
This includes land, courses, club
houses, etc., and is only part Of
the total outlay which runs far more
than a billion dollars.
Despite the huge investment, golf
is no longer only rich mans game.
It is only because it is a game for
the masses that so much money has
been spent. on courses. Golf has
been a lifesaver for thousands of
men-and women-who need exer-
else and relief from business COM
plications and worries.

The Civilian Game

Big time golf is out until the wars
end. And civilian golf is confronted
with problems which are going to
be difficult-and, in some cases, inn
possible--to solve. Pathways are
not easy to maintain, and help is
difficult to get. Civilian golf likely
will run to weekend play.
1t probably won't be unusual to
see John HI. Duffer help keep the
course in playable shape. Some pri-
vate clubs have organized worker
member committees. 1t is entirely
possible that these committees will
be successful in many localities
particularly smaller towns and cit
les.
