By Bettina Masson The Oakville Yacht Squadron sailed home to Oakville on Mon- day night covered with glory. After three days of hard sailing, preceded and followed by a cruise to and from Port Credit from its Home port of Oakville, the squadron is now resting on its laurels. Ten of the squadrons Snipes took part in the three day Te- getta held at the Port Credit Yacht Club under. the) auspices of the L.SS.A. There were mine classes of boats racing for a to- tal of 14 cups. The cup for the Snipe class, the Walker Cup, Was won by Oakville Yacht Squadron. So Oakville let us give a great big CHEER TO: Commodore Jim Baillie for win- ning 2 first, and for sailing his craft home all alone in tricky winds. Aub and Mollie Baillie for win- ning 2 seconds. Al Masson for winning the Walker Cup. (Come up and see us some time) Sadie Hills, Ann Pearson, Mol- lie Baillie for crewing for their life's skippers through the three races as well as helping to take the boats on that gruelling run down and back from Port Credit. Art and Sadie Hills for winning ing the Oakville Yacht Squad- ron's personal race down and back by such a big margin each way. If we ever have a squadron race to Hamilton we might as well concede it to the Hills before we even start. John Munro for put-putting in the Squadron's duty boat accom- paning the Snipes like a small guardian angel all the way down and back. Port Credit Yacht Club for un- dertaking such a big event and for the very successful way the whole regetta was handled. David Masson for being the youngest contestant in the races and for crewing for his Dad on the return journey. H.M.C.S. York and the R.C.M.P. for so carefully patrolling the three day's races with their ships. Fortunately it turned out to be purely an honorary duty for there were mo spills at all. Now for the vital statistics of the Snipe events: Saturday: First, Jim Baillie and Gerry Mordaunt; Second, Don Third, Floral Rarity A serpentine cactus belonging to Perkins and Sons, florists, Macdonald Road, bloomed on Friday evening -- something rare indeed for a plant of that variety. It was the first time the ten-yearald cactus had flowered, and it is not likely to do so again for at least a year, or probably longer. The lily= like bloom, with orange back- ing, lasted only through the night, and was dead next morn- ing. CWAC STAFF OFFICER AT CENTRAL COMMAND Miss Elsie Jewell, London and Oakville, has been appointed staff captain for the Canadian Wo- men's Army Corps in Central Command, it has been announ- ced by Central Command head- quarters. Captain Jewell joined the CWAG as a private in Sept. 1941, and early in 1942 was posted to the COWAC training centre at Ste. Ane de Bellevue, Que. Commiss- foned in 1943, she held various appointments in the CWAC in- cluding that of adjutant of No. 104 Depot, Montreal, and later in Oakville. Capt. Jewell retired from the CWAC in September 1946, after more than five years' service. Since the war she has been em- ployed in a civilian capacity at HQ Central Command. Macrae and Bob Armstrong. Sunday (Walker Cup race): First, Al and Bettina Masson; Second, Aub and Mollie Baillie; Queen City Yacht Club (skippered by J. Pickard). Monday: First, Jim and Nancy Baillie; Second, Aub and Mollie Baillie. (Those Baillies are REAL sailors) So: If we ever get stiffness out of our weary bodies, and if our sunburns ever cool down fo mor- mal, and if we get our boats bailed out, and if we can get the cup winner away from his rapt contemplation of his first trophy, and if the skippers can talk their regular crews in getting into a boat again so soon after the weekend--then come down and see the Squadron's regular Wed- nesday evening and Saturday af- ternoon races held just off the lighthouse.
