SOUTH AFRICA 222 FOR TWO LETTERS TO

Record Stand By McGlew And Goddard At Johannesburg

Johannesburg, Dec. 23.

Scoring at a brisk pace, South Africa made a satisfactory start to the season's First Test against Australia, at the Wanderors Ground today, reaching 222 for the loss of two wickets. More than an hour's playing time was lost through bad light and rain. Conditions were quite unsummery, and the crowd of 12,500 shivered at

times in the cold weather.

More Support For MacTavish

Sir-Well done, MacTavish, and congratulations, China Mail, on the best football article of the season. The HKFA would be well advised to give serious thought to the whole idea of higher admission charges before they kill the golden goose. The idea of paying $6 to ACO League game is preposterous.

Do better if you can.

It's always possible.

Thus, tersely and unequivocally, François Constantin laid down a policy for the House of Vacheron & Cons- cantin. It was in 1819, sixty-four years after the firm's founding.

Today, Vacheron & Constantin are in their third century, the world's oldest watch manufacturers. By heed- ing a perfectionise's motto, they have thrived where others failed to survive.

The "Automatic Jubilé" was directly inspired by the policy of François Constantin, for few believed it possible that so thin a watch can be both self-winding and water- proof.
