Villa Watch With Bill Brown
Aston Villa have joined Charlton in the quest for Bill Brown, Dundee's goalkeeper. They moved quietly, their representative arrived in Dundee last Saturday morning. He paid for admission to the stand and kept out of sight. At the finish he made straight for the south train. But before he left I learned that he was greatly impressed with the goal-keeper and would report accordingly to the Villa directors. It appears certain that they will make an official call at Dens Park.

Kirkton Gardening Trophy
"I am hoping I can recommend a tour of Kirkton housing scheme to our American visitor as one of the most beautiful parts of Dundee". This was said in Dundee City Council Chambers on Thursday by Dundee-born Mrs Jemima Spilch now of New York. She was presenting the Splich Trophy for gardening to Mr John Wilson, 68 Beauly Avenue, Kirkton, who was accompanied by his wife. The ceremony was presided by Lord Provost William Hughes, who said Mrs Spolich left Dundee 32 years ago. On a visit home in 1950 she got her idea to increase Kirkton resident's interest in gardening. The result was the Splich Trophy.
