They Wouldn't Say Yes Or No Indications of an imminent federal election have brought general reactions of "maybe, maybe not", from Oshawa's political spokesmen. Rumors sweeping down from Parliament Hill have quoted Oct. 25 as the day when the country will go to the polls "Only the Prime Minister knows when the election is going to be called," said Dr. Claude Vipond, Liberal Party candi- date. '"'He hasn't told me when he will cali it." Dr. Vipond said that Liberal Party headquarters in Ottawa told the local association in May to prepare for a fall election. "My own campaign committee has been organized for some time and has been meeting regu- larly. We are better prepared for an election than we have been in recent years." 'PM HOLDING BACK' Robert Nicol, campaign man- ager for Michael Starr, MP, the sitting member for Ontario Rid- ing, said tat the election date decision rests with Prime Min- ister Pearson. 'Rumors have in- dicated that the Cabinet is in favor of a fall election but Mr. Pearson is holding back. 6 DR. CLAUDE VIPOND '. » » he basn't told me' "If the election is now, or next year, our local association is prepared to meet the challenge. We have been geared up to meet an election at moment's notice," he said. "More than 2,500 workers throughout the riding are ready to go to.work for us," Mr. Nicol said, 'CHANCES GOOD' The chairman of the local New Democratic Party association, T. D. Thomas, said that the prospects of an NDP win in the riding are good. "Especially if an election is held during the spring, after redistribution"'. "T don't think an election will be called for the autumn. The recent postal workers strike did the Liberal party a greai deal of harm, in Quebec. "But, no matter what they do, we in Ontario riding are in very good shape. In better shape, in fact, than we have ever been before any other election," said Mr. Thomas, a yeteran member of the Ontario Legislature. "Perhaps the government will wait to see how the Ontario by- elections at Bracondale and North Bay go. They may give an indication of the way the Liberal wind is blowing." Mr. Thomas added that the local NDP has not yet nom- inated a candidate for the Fed- é hin T. D, THOMAS *,., better shape than before' eral seat. "We may have a nom- ination meeting fairly soon, as there are one or two really good people who would make a good showing in this riding,' he said, _ T'was A Hard Day's Night But Friendship Won Out | Seventeen - year - old Sheilajsaid.

The best time last year was chalked up by a Hunt boat pow> ered by a 110 inboard-outboard, three hours 20 minutes, 'NOT THE FASTEST' "It's not always the fastest boat under ideal conditions that wins," said Mr, Courtney, "Last year the water was very choppy and this worked against the small boats with big motors." He said there is some naviga- tion required, too. "You don't just face into the sun under full throttle. Some of the boats ended up in Cobourg and Port Hope." The marathon has _ been moved ahead two weeks this year to avoid some of the dirty weather in October. The operators have a meeting Own A Zippy Motorboat? Take Crack At Marathon to discuss weather conditions half an hour before the race starts at 10.30 a.m. from To- ronto. "It's then that a decision' is. made whether to race if condi- tions are stormy,' said Mr, Courtney, The competitors leave Toronto showering "rooster tails' be- hind them and the fastest will enter Oshawa Harbor about noon, After all the boats are re- fuelled and the crews rested, the race is restarted here at 2 p.m,, he said, The event is also open to pro- fessionals and dealers. There are five different categories in professional dealer class and five in amateur class, 80 pleasure craft owners will not be competing against, profes- sional boat-racing drivers. VARIOUS CLASSES « These' are the. various cate- gories in which prizes are being offered: class G -- motors from 60 to 69.99 cubic inches; class H --- moiors from 70 to 79.99 cubie inches; Class I -- motors from 80 to 89.99 cubic inches and un- limited class JJ. One tangible result from last year's race was that manufac- turers learned something about the need to produce safer and more durable boats. In outboards, the amateur class best time was three hours, 58 minutes, It was established by an Evinrude boat with a 90 hp Evinrude motor, In the deal- ers' class a Thornes boat with two 5¢ hp West Bend motors made the best time of four For Top A Whitby girl continued what has become a family tradition when she was named top stu- dent and the winner of an On- tario scholarship in Grade 13 examination results released to- day by Henry Street High School.
