Unfartunately, the photo had been taken earlier in the seasan, and as a resuit, one valued player, Dave Kerr, was miss- in-. Our apologies ta Dave who played great hockey throughout the playoffs. CHAMP IN ACTION- The 'phones were ring- ing on Tuesday ta let us knoxv that ace bowler Bernice Buday of Bowmanvillc will be defend- ing her television charnpionship this Saturday afternoon on Channel 6, CBLT. The time is still indefinite as is the name of her oppantent, but Bernice's many friends here are pulling strong for her ta have a great afternoon. WORK TO BE DONE- If Sunday's crowds are any indication, the new Mosport Park is goîng ta live up toalal the forecasts for drawing people into its fald. The his, valleys and muddy roads were jammed with the greatest variet), of sports cars many in this district have ever seen. Sa much so, that folks in ordinary U.S. type vehicles must have feit out of place. What struck us forceably was that before the big Player's 200 race on June 24th, a tremendaus amdunt of work -will have ta be done ta put the park and the approaches in shape ta handle the volume of traffic that will be pouring in. But, even so, half of Bowmanville was on hand for the show on Sunday and most of themn were fascinated with what they saw. t t t1 t t POOR FISHING - Usually. at this time of year, The Statesman is beseiged by happy aduits and young fry holding up wonderful catches of speckled traut, rainbows and other varieties of f ish. This has either been a bad year or the f ish- errnen are being exceptionally quiet about their catches.

The 104 entries started at Muntreal early Suinday and began to arrive at Masport shortly after 6 p.m. Due ta confused reports, thousands of spectators converged on the park early in the after- noon, coming over roads which were not quite ready for such a crawd. This scene shows a portion of the over 2,000 cars that remained for the trials which ý took the small and large sparts cars up over slîppery, treach- erous his, through mud hales, etc., ta test driver's skills. This Volvo went through its paces with littie effort and lots of speed. In the distance the rally cars are lined up onl the new track waiting to be flagged inta position for their run through the course. There had been few drop-outs up ta this point, but during the next leg of the journey to Port Arthur, an accident occurred with one navigator being killed and three other rallyists injured. Several cars also, became casualties.
