From towns near London 8,000 schoolchildren will be brought and as the grandstands will be uncovered appeals were launched last week for gifts of child-size raincoats to add to His Majesty's Government's revolving store.

The positron had the same mass as the electron but an opposite charge.

This, added to his second place in the downhill race the day before, gave Allais, 26-year-old baker's boy, a first in the combined event to add to the International Ski Federation's World Championship he won last month at Chamonix. To generous Rudi Cranz. who finished eighth in the downhill race, fourth in. the combined event, went the consolation of watching his older sister Christl, world's champion skier, win the A-K prize...
