We had the race on Sunday, we mentioned last week and saw a great drifting match. It was quite a busi- ness, About two minutes after the wind dropped to nothing more than light airs, and then, for about the first time in four weeks it rained. Now we aren't complaining about the rain, far from it, it was great to get your back wet from moisture other than self generated, but did it have to rain just then? People who sail must have a great understanding of the workings of fate or be completely in- different to Shel 'Workings, Rain, wind, no, Phil Orde out drifted the rest nl the fleet to win the first of the season. From what has been talked around since, Phil is go- ing to find it harder to win his next race, We shall see. Have you any idea at all what a spinnaker is? The best way to de- scribe it without tedious detail is to say that it is like hanging a parachute over the bow of a boat for the wind to fill'and drag said boat. For the past three months we have been hear- ing about Ted Griffen's spinnaker and the great things it was going to do for that blonde trumpet player. Sun- day was the ideal time to use that sail, wind quartering and light. For almost the entire first leg we kept looking back, get that, 'back', at Ted to sce if he was using his big sail. Not until we had a hundred Wes. left in the leg did he start to muck about with all the gear necessary for wear-: ing a spinnaker. When he did get it set and drawing 'Marilyn' perked up and started to move ahead. Pity il couldn't have been left there for the beat, he could have won. "We have a new club owned boat that we hope is going to be more suit- able for club use than was the 'Os- prey". She ¢ a 14% foot dingy, gaff rigged sloop. Apparently she is quite a vessel. Aside from working sails she has a spinnaker, so Ted, you'd best get familiar with yours. The character who is beating this typewriter now is going to start beat- ing heads very soon to arrange things so we can pick her up Wednesday. Everything going well, some of you may see this craft before you read this. Let's hope Tally Ho will live up to expectations, Big Business To the Editor of Port Perry Star: Mr. 'Coldwell, the C.C.F. leader, is basing much of his campaign against what he calls "Big Business". It is much like the youth who described, succinctly and quite aptly, his first appearance at church. He said the minister spoke of "Sin -- he was against it." Whether. it is really the sinfulness or the bigness of which Mr. Coldwell's complaint is made, is not at all clear. Eatons, Simpsons, Loblaws, Kresge and so forth are certainly big business but I don't notice the CCFers--failing to buy at their stores, The Western Wheat Pool is de- finitely not small business; neither is Hydro or for that matter the Cana- dian National Railway. Indeed Mr. Coldwell would add the C.P.R. to the CNR and make it twice as big. Oshawa city is founded firmly u Big Business. Yet if it were not, w at sort of a small town would it be. Or "I wager the CCF majority there would goon cry havoc were circumstances altered to make it just small instead of big business. And, alas, I just read last week that the CCF Saskatchewan goyern Ean had made a deal with Business (3 companies) to boss Be On a cial, Oil's grit oll]: ow out Im a 8 grea 0 discoveries in Alberta?
