Jim Merten of Oshkosh, Wis., heads for a new world outboard speed record of 136.381 mph on the Fox river at Kaukauna, Wis. The feat, which broke the existing record by more than 5 mph, was witnessed by officials of the Union of International Motorboating and American Power Boat Association.

The previous record speed was 131.051 mph, set in March 1966 by Gerry Walin of Edmonds. Wash. A proposal to retain and expand housing on the Toronto Islands can be questioned on too many grounds to warrant serious according to William Allan, president of the 7,000- member Toronto Real Estate Board.

Metro, it was recognized that the provision ot open space downtown and near the downtown would be essential for the intensively developed central core. A basic decision to commit the islands for park purposes was supported by a general view in Metro that this was a good idea and the work was undertaken. On what grounds can it be said today that this is no longer a valid objective and should be forgotten? "The need for public open space is nowhere near being met downtown or near the lake. The demand is going to increase and even a freezing of downtown development will not reduce the necessity for providing more green areas. There aren’t enough now.
