Has Good Accommodation And Parking Facilities In the history of the past years of the matches, were usually well provided for the people attending the match, there was usually a large question mark regarding the parking facilities for the thousands of cars and trucks that were used as transpor tation. It was often the case that the tractors, both for the use of the plowmen and those on demon stration, were called in for the ulitarian purpose of pulling some unfortunate out of a’ mud hole that had unexpectedly developed during an unwelcome rain storm. This year, those attending the "Victory Match” can rest assured that the parking facilities are the best that have ever existed. The concrete runways that were built for the planes using the Port Al bert Airfield during the war years will provide a safe and solid park ing space ifor thousands of cars. The committee is anticipating that there will be close in the neighbor hood of seven thousand cars mak ing use of the area that is being set asidt for parking space, and they are confident that they will be able to almost guarantee that no car or truck owner will have any cause for complaint over these facilities this year.
