has no lmmedlato need of manpower her armies are vast and hew armies are being raised far to the roar by hor valiant commandes the major problem for her is that of keeping these forces fullyequipped

sumably covered this ground when ho conferred recently with russian mili tary mon in iran as for actual military aid to russia by britain the creating of di versions or opening of other fronts that is obviously being kept in the forefront of the grand war strategy mapped by prime minister churchill but ho can hnrdly be expected to di vulge it a straw in the wind in this 117th week of the war is the disclosure thnt the tough invasion units known ns commandos have seen action in the african theatre this is a suro sign thnt forces are being readied the right time and the right plnco for action can

thnt 18 ratings were missing from the ark royal but some of these may hnve escaped there were no officer casualties the appenrance of german under sea craft in the mediterranean did not come as a

practice now court opmstt tho badminton grip to tho average person means just holding tho racquet in the hand but as there is usually a right and wrong way to everything we find that in gripping the badminton racqum there is a right way ahd a wrong way shake hand with the racquet is good advice so far as it goes but we must do more thnn thnt most racquet handles are mndc with two wide fncets or flat surfaces parallel with the face or stringed area ot the racquet the usual procedure is to begin by laying the handle in tho palm of the hand with one of the wide facets flat npalnst the hnnd now tho fingers and thumb nre wrap ped around the handle in such n way thnt the little finger grips the ex treme end of the handle while the thumb rests against one wide facet nnd the fhdex finger ngnlnst the other wide facet with tho indox finger nnd thumb in this position the movement of the racquet may be directed more ac curately than is potslbic with the finger close together nnd gripping tho rncquot tightly the grip should be relaxed between tfotcos nnd held firm only nltlui time of contact in this position the index finger directs the racquet in forehand and overhnnd strokes while tho thumb directs it in tho backhand ritroken in the begin ning it will be necessary to check tho grip frequently to bo suro thnt it is not changed during piny heres to life hnve you noticed thnt the
