Yet to only a few in hl Lancashire circle will the name of Alfred Frankland ring a bell. He was, In fact, the founder of the famous Dick Kerr'a women's football team of Preston.
A works side, the brain-child they of bluff Alf Frankland, burst upon the football world Immediately after World War One, and were at once a furore and controversy, Everyone went to see the ladies in shorts, defying the prudity of the Charleston era, and the money they garnered in for good causes was as big да the пешерарст columns they filled-for and against,

These have now been postponed until January, and the Police therefore contacted RAF Mainland to arrange a game. The Airmen, however, could not manage to get a side into action in the time needed, partly because they were not expecting to play and had not begun to make arrangements and partly because there seems to .be lacking a guiding spirit at Kai Tak this season.

He, his wife Sandy and five children oc cupled a tent in the valley until they could build themselves a home.

The State needs about 70, of these acres-or the Winter Games must

Comments the bul letin: "For a place com. the milled to stage International Winter Olympics sports Squaw Valley is frighteningly devoid of any construc- tion activity.
"A large sign on the highway proudly pro claims the site but things ure so quiet that one could hear a nall fall-if the State had any nails." Heavy shows allow work only six months a year and dozens of hotels, runways, roads, ice-rinks, and everything that goes with inter- national winter sports competitions have still to be crammed into three six-month seasons.
But snow is not the principal hold-up to -work in Squaw Valley.
The real trouble is a 41-year-old plot of Pan American Airways, Mr Wayne Poulson.

He says he has thrown everything he has info the valley and refuses to give it up for a "12- day snow carnival,”

expenditure by turning part of the valley Into a State park after the Gomes.
