D. WALTON CHOSEN CANADA'S WOMAN ATHLETE Toronto, Dec. 24 (CP).--In a bat- tle of ballots as close as any match she fought on the badminton courts Mrs. W, R. (Dorothy) Walton bas been chosen the Canadian woman athlete of the year, succeeding | Mary Rose Thacker of Winnipeg. The young Toronto matron, champion of everything she sur- veyed in her specialty, was chosen in the annual poll of sports writers conducted by The Canadian Press, She was given 27 points to 25 for Eleanor Young of Vancouver, ten- nis champion, and 23 for 17-year- old Norah McCarthy of Toronto and North Bay, Ont, Miss Thack- er's successor as Canadian figure- skating champion this year. It was strictly between these three for the honor. Thirteen oth- ers were named in the balloting with. each writer naming three choices and points being awarded on a 3-2-1 basis, but the unanim- ity for Mrs. Walton, Miss Young and Miss McCarthy was so great that Irene Barr, the Hamilton, Ont., swimming star, got only eight votes in fourth place. | Mrs. Walton, the former Dorothy | McKenzie of Swift Current, Sask. | has put aside her badminton rac- | quet for competition because of her | war work. But even if she doesn't win another title she leaves behind a record that probably will stand a long time. She has been the dom- inant figure among the women | players for three straight years. | | BURNS CREDIT JEWELLERS | Cash Prices On Credit | 32 King St. W., Oshawa, Phone 380 To all my friends, both old and new; To all my friends--not just a few-- I send this greeting with love sincere A HAPPY CHRISTMAS and GLAD NEW YEAR.
