Action Packed
Program For
Western Speedway

Three, action-filled and varied
programs, plus a-fire-works
display are on the ‘menu for
Western Speedway, this coming
holiday weekend.

Commencing with time trials
at 7 p.m. this Saturday night, |
May 22, a twin-bill, featuring
Super stocks and Stock cars, is all
set to go.

Two shows are scheduled for
Monday, the 24th; the first - a
combined show of Super stocks
and Figure 8’s, who are making
their. first appearance of the
season. Time trials are at 1 p.m.

And on Monday night at 7 p.m.
it’s Stock cars and Foreign
stocks. Following the conclusion ,
of the racing program on Monday
night, there will be a Fire-Works
display.

Early, .early,. on Monday
morning, the Royal yacht
Britannia came regally through
Active Pass at exactly six-
_thirty, along with our own
R.C.M.P. vessel, M.P.53,. “‘Sid-
ney’’, going first, then a big, sleek:
navy craft, then ever so slowly,
there she was, in all her gleaming
glory.

People were strewn all along
the way as we got on the phone
and alerted as many as we could,
about fifty were down. on
Bellhouse Point, including Mrs.
Dorothy Lupton and Mrs. Bud
Day, who slept out there all night
so as not to miss them. They were
not completely enamoured with
this sleeping out among the stars
business, and decided that they

would not do it again. Only. thing
is that when Mrs. Day went to
take a. picture she found that

had forgotten to put in fresh film.
and she couldn't take a picture
after all.

“The shouting and the.tumult

and for Sidney the battle of the
route is over. Our thanks to those
in authority who. if somewhat
belatedly. altered the course of
H.M.Y. BRITANNIA to do a
circle in front of Sidney and
honour us with a royal visit. Word
of this change was not made
known ‘till noon on the 11th, one
hour. before the flotilla appeared
off our waterfront. There was no
time to arrange a suitable water
greeting as many of our small
craft had gone to Satelite Channel
in keeping. .with the route
published in the weekend paper.
Nevertheless two or three small
yachts adean appearance and
the atchers. on shore’ were
treated to a grandstand show ‘as
BRITANNIA .§ circled. close. .in-

and excellent fishing. They hada
slow. passage from Mexico. to
Hawaii, 27 days, but came
romping home in a fast 18 with a
strong sou'easter all the way. For
part of their cruise they had a
fourth crew member, Doug
Barron of Sooke, who joined them
in Baja, California for the
crossing to Hawaii.

entrance of Fulford Harbour on

Saltspring and return. was a.

‘gruelling test, particularly _ as

every. conceivable type of.

weather was encountered during
the run. Conditions ranged from a
warm sunny drifter to gale force
winds accompanied by: driving
rain and a dirty cross tide, all of

which tested crews and gear to .

the limit. Although some of the
smaller vessels participated this
was definitely a larger boat race.
Several starters were forced to
abandon before the 7-hour time
limit finish at Sidney. Perhaps
the time has come for. two
divisions in our local racing

group with a shortened course for _

the smaller boats. Even with

handicapping it is. discouraging

for the little yachts to always

trail their big sisters around the

buoys.
