where he can do no wrong.
1t was the same story at the
Pennington Club in Charlottes-

Middle Atlantic Amateur cham

one OF Brownells courses. There
are several others.
BrOwnell Wins With Par.
Bobby's 3-and-2 victory over
Buddy Loving Of the host club in
the scheduled 36-hole final was
accomplished with par golf in
mid-90 heat.
1t was over the same course
where Brownell won his second
Middle Atlantic title in 1947 and
that year he did not play past
the 18th hole except in the quail
flying round. He defeated Bill
Tomlinson. 6 and S; Larry
O'Brien, Z and 6; Earl Skinker,

Last week he started with a
7-and-5 victory over Billy Heinz
er, then beat Bennett Barnes, S
and 4; Billy Buppert, / up; Bob
Morris, 4 and 3. and Loving.
Brownell was about 8 over par
for the seven rounds over a mag
nif1cant golf course, one of the
finest in the area and one that
requires good shots and thinking.
Considering the weather, it was
spectacular golf over such a diff
f1cult course.
Loving Good in Defeat.
Young Loving grew up" in
defeat in the eyes of the Sec
tional golfers, and it would be
difficult to convince the Wash
ington contingent that Buddy is
not the best golfer in Virginia.
He was playing over his home
course, but through the week
played shots that would have
been good anywhere.
Brownell never was down in
the final, never more than 3 up.
After 81 holes he was only ! up.

champion despite the 18-hole

suggested that we change the
formal Of the tournament, but
I've been voted down. I'd like to
play four days of 18-hole medal
play rounds, with the seven low
scorers going into match play

Outstanding

Market And Above
Average Trading Cen
ter.

Milford stands out as a rich
market with families earning more
and spending more than those in
most cities in the United States.
This is revealed in a new, copy
rlghted survey of buying power,
covering the entire nation, prepar-
ed by Sales Management.
Larger incomes made it possible
for families in Milford to buy more
and live better than those in most
other places. This is indicated by
the volume of business done by
the local retail stores during the
past year.
The figures show that this retail
activity reached the high mark of
$l7,671,O00. an increase over the
1861 record of $12,7S8,OOO. It was
much more than the total to be ex-
pected for a city of it's size. On
the basis of population, local re-
tail business should have been
only .OO34 percent of the national.
Actually, however, it was .OIO8 per-
cent.
The large-scale buying, which
meant more luxurious living, was
made possible by better earnings.
The data shows that the 100
families in Milford attained a net
income, after deduction of person
al income taxes of S5,927, ,O0O.
