to all other members of the associa-

that he has done brilliant work for

He has kept in very close touch
with the SEC, made addresses all

for the association among invest

made every effort to get people of
means to put their idle funds to
work. His reelection is assured, as

Drive for Savings Urged.
The Bank Management Commit

the banks of the Nation show a
revival of interest in securing saw
ings. A majority of the banks in
Virginia are not promoting savings
at this time and the banks of the
Nation now control less than so per
cent of the total savings, the re-
port states.
Questioned about their interest in
savings, 81 Virginia banks said they
were trying to increase savings de-
posits, while 116 were making no
such efforts.

CHICAGO. June 16 P.-The market

Large numbers of used contain
ers are being destroyed because
there have been no requests for
them, the War Food Administra-
ton warns. Handlers of use0
orange boxes, for example, are
burning them up by the thousands
because many farmers have not as
yet accepted these disable boxes as
substitutes to pack their particular
crops. Orange boxes are adequate
and suitable to send many diff
ferent kinds of crops to market,
and farmers are being urged to
ask their suppliers for as many of
these containers as they may need.
Farmers should get their orders
in Immediately since handlers of
used baskets and boxes are saving
only those they are asked to save,

Another TiIden Story

Years ago Ellsworth Vines was
touring the country with Tilden and
at that time winning most of
the matches. Youth against age.
'There'l never be anyone like Til
den," Vines told me later.
"A short while back we played
in upper New York. I finally won
after five tough sets and / was
many. many years younger than
Tilden. I was completely ex-
hausted after the match. Later that
night l happened to glance up and
saw Tilden hurrying out of the hotel
lobby.
What's the idea?' / asked.
"T've got golf date at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning with q pro In
Cincinnati Bill said. TN have to
drive all night, but I can still make
It,
"Tilden made it." Vines con-
tinued, land then carried me to FIVE
sets late that afternoon. Tilden had
more stamina and vitality than any
two athletes / ever saw"
II was Tilden who introduced the
phrase tournament tough"
Tournament tough" applies to
every game played, from war to
any sport you know.
Big Bill has proved this for well
over 20 years. His return to Forest
Hills for the Red Cross was some.
thing no tennis lover should have
missed.

The Top of Then, AH

At various times in the last 10 or
is years, I've asked any number Of
famous tennis players to pick the
all-time top. In this list I can give
you such names as Winnie Rich
ards, Frank Hunter, George
Church-on and on.
The vote was solid for Big Bill,
the lean, lanky, galloping. hard-hit-
ting star with the best of all tennis
brains.
Tilden combined power and speed
with the finest type Of court general
ship. There were times, even
through a championship final, when
he was still practicing strokes. No
one ever knew in his prime just
how good he was.
Here's an example. Years ago
against one of the Kinsey brothers,
Tilden had won the first set of a
championship match at go. He had
lost the second set at ga. An old
timer took all the bets he could get
on Tilden for the third set.
The bettor was Eddie Conlin. He
told Big Bill about his IL bets.
What's the bet?" Tilden asked.
I'm betting you to win the third
set CO." Eddie said.
Tilden won go. He could have won
most of his sets at 60 except for his
desire to practice and try out vari-
GUS strokes against opponents who
were completely outclassed.
I'll never forget the final match
he had with Little Bill Johnston
at Forest Hills for the title. Little
Bill, as usual, had given Big Bill
a hard and hot afternoon.
In the final set dark clouds swept
across the sultry scene accom-
panied by thunder and lightning.
There were only a few minutes or
perhaps seconds left before the
storm was due. Tilden's answer
was quite simple. He delivered four
service aces that practically blasted
Little Bill of the court.
He might as well have used a
rifle.
