For the whole of the past fortnight I have watched not only the Tennis matches on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, but also the splendid work
of the Ball-boys. They have been a living example of good discipline and effective service. It is the quiet unobtrusive \\ay in which they do the
job that has never failed to impress me, and I am delighted to have this chance of expressing my wholehearted admiration.
Linesmen may, and do, give wrong decisions. Umpires may give out wrong scores, but the Ball-boys are never at fault. It is an exacting and
tiring job that they perform, sometimes in the full heat of a Summer's day, and under the eyes of thousands of spectators. Indeed, the Ball-boys
at Wimbledon have become an integral part of the Championships, and to me at any rate, Wimbledon would not be the same without them.
And now I'm told that they and the rest of you are off for a holiday. May I then wish you all a very happy time, and the best of weather. Play
hard and work hard isn't bad advice. If you do that you won't go far wrong in this queer world in which we live. The best of luck boys, always,
from your admirer.
FREDERICK H. GRISEWOOD.

IS THAT FAIR ?
There's an old saying which runs, "There's no justice in this world". Like most old sayings it's not altogether true, but there are times when we
think it is. Unless we can endure injustice sometimes we are doomed to unhappiness, for in the world at large there are many people enjoying
power over others and lacking the humility to use it justly. If you are one of those unfortunates who can never forget nor forgive an injury you
will have as much chance of happiness in this life as a kitten in a cage of porcupines.
Does this mean that we should put up with injustice and never protest? By no means! We ought to protest whenever we see in justice done.
have fair play all round, and start right at the beginning by playing fair ourselves. With the holidays at hand we ought to in the right mood to
ask ourselves these important questions and answer them honestly. Have we always been fair in our behaviour—fair to those to whom we owe
duty and obedience— j those over whom we have been given power and ? Do we respect the rights and property of others, especially those not
so well able to look after themselves? If we can truthfully answer, "Yes", to these questions then we shall, I believe, be good judges of what is
just and what is unjust and in our small world at Goldings we will have established the right spirit one towards another.
Even so, you would be ill-prepared to set foot in the outside world if you expected to get through life and suffer no injustice. There is no virtue
in taking it lying down: When you have well considered the matter and are convinced you are in the right, you should not be afraid to speak out,
but try not to let injustice rankle. There's no sense in being miserable just because the world is not perfect. There comes a time to forgive and
forget, one of the hardest lessons to be learned at school, but one which we must learn if we hope for happiness in the years ahead.

CHAPEL NOTES
"They were last seen going strong for the top". These words form part of a Press report of two brave men, Mallory and Irvine, who lost their
lives attempting to climb Mount Everest. Now that Mount Everest has been conquered, and all the hazards and difficulties of climbing that
seemingly unsurmountable barrier are known to us, we realise how great the adventure was.
For months and months this team of intrepid mountaineers had been hearing and thinking of the possibility of success. They believed they
could do what had never been done before, and they put that belief to the test. When Edmund Hillary and the Sherpa Tensing got to the top of
Everest then experience proved to them that their belief was absolutely right.
Our job of trying to live as decently as is possible in this world is much like trying to climb Mount Everest. Nearer the top the more hazardous
and difficult becomes the climb. Oftentimes we are tempted to say, "I've had enough, I can't go on. I can never get to the top". Every ounce of
effort is needed to keep going on. Time and time again the climber must brace himself to keep going.
Our trying to live the sort of life God meant us to live is really an uphill job. We need all the help possible if we are going to get to the top. As
a team, the Everest climbers, united in their efforts, won a great victory. By our united efforts and with God's help we can gain the top. What
better said of us as we strive hard in work and in play than—"They were last seen going strong for top."
God bless you all, and may your Summer holidays be full o sunshine and happiness
