Guest_ comment Too many horses in ‘the spring The coming of apring haa been marked for generations by many traditional symptoms—almost al- ways pleasant, But a disturb- ing new trend is manifesting itself across the land as the sun swings higher in its annual nor=- thern migration. Coupled with the ageless turn- ing of the young man’s fancy, or the simple urge to get away from it all and revel in the, soft breezes and the awakening green, has come a phenomenon of the advancing machine era to cast a chill shadow. Traffic pollce call them horse- power heroes, They are the motorists who drive the super -powered cars, itching to break the bonds of constricting cliy traffic or the slippery roads of winter. It’s natural to feel the pull of the countryside on a balmy spring weekend, to wateh the ipeedometer needle climb as irrow atreets are left behind and the fresh, warm air through, open windows ‘or in a ‘top-down doHars Gi)’ A‘resevaliation ‘on the status}: quo” ot the « ‘Arend.

Scant years ago only specially designed racing car's, with highly trained drivers and confined to courses off the pub lie highways, carried this type of power, Many Second World War operational aircraft fell short of this 400 figure.

Thus, the Arena Asso- ciation became exclusively a fund raising group, ; However, most people were un- aware of these” developments; with the result, certain’ execu- tive members were continually being harrassed about: the site allocation, grants available and amounts, To the misfortune of all concerned, they ‘were some- what bare-faced,-as somewhere along the ‘line ‘communications |: and good liaisonhadbroken down; as. they could not answer ques- tions relative to news media releases, -If.this wasn’t bad enough, meetings. were. held; which wore . of- vital’ concern to the entire assemblage; yet, the Arena “Association: members as a whole were not: informed. of their development or outcome until: after the news media had informed John Q,.

Howéver, Frank Braun, presi» dent of the South African Olym- pic Games Association, has made it clear that he believes South Africa should not withdraw from the Games in Mexico City next October. “My personal view is that if Mr. Avery Brundage has come to ask South. Africa to withdraw from the Glympic Games, we should not aceeed but stand firm on the vote ‘taken at Grenoble,” Braun said. . Braun said that any decision on the issue would have to come from the association's executive committee as a body, The exec. utive committee was scheduled to meet Tuesday night, Braun said, however, that Brundage had stated he did not want to address or meet the members, except socially, Nova Scotians ‘Join Medicare By THE CANADIAN PRESS. .
