BRITAIN'S STRONGEST EVER
TEAM TO OLYMPIC GAMES
By PETER DITTON
Sixty nations will be represented at the 15th Olympic Games, open- ing in Helsinki on July 19th. Britain, host last time, will be sending along her strongest ever team. To do so will cost close on £50,000.
The British Olympic Association have about £27,000 in hand which was the profit made in 1948. It is, however, by no means certain that all of that money will be available to send a team to Helsinki.
During the next couple of monthe income tax claims may whittle it down to ST FROM Then it will be up to the British public to provide the remainder. They will not fail.
