Shipway said despite the small tur- ages. "This is probably the last year nout of volunteers at organizational Advance tickets at reduced prices there will be any sort of summer event in the village," said Reeve Donald Shipway, "so we're giving it all we've got. It's the old story of the same handful of volunteers doing all the work every year and everybody else showing up to enjoy the results of all that volunteer work." Gala Days chairman John Cornett echoed Shipway's remarks. "The event is held mainly for the kids -- although there's also a lot of fun for meetings which have been held since last year's event wrapped up, "we've got a heck of a weekend coming up." The reeve said of the firsts of an Ailsa Craig Gala Days weekend in- clude a complete midway for children, a fireworks display and an outdoor dance with the group Maple Sugar. All the other traditional events will also be held: a Main Street parade, sporting competitions, a Saturday night pork barbecue, Sun - for the barbecues and the dance are on sale in Ailsa Craig until noon Fri- day.

This will be held in a covered pavilion which will operate under a special occasion permit Friday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., and Saturday from noon to 1 a.m. The turtle races are another sore point with organizers of the weekend and municipal officials. Doug McNair, organizer of the weekend turtle races, said that for the third year in a row the village is be- ing prevented by provincial authorities from raising money for charitable purposes with turtle races. "The first time we tried it the organizers were arrested and during five days of court appearances we were criticized by the Ontario Attorney -General's Department for not "working with authorities and the system." "We have spent the past two years asking two provincial governments to interpret the , Criminal Code of Canada the same way it is interpreted in Manitoba where they have been racing turtles for money for 15 years." McNair said the past two years have been "a paper chase with pro- vincial ministers passing the buck to federal ministers who pass it back to a different provincial minister. Ale have enough letters from cabinet ministers in our files to paper my liv- ing room." Two months ago a member of the committee asked Ontario Premier David Peterson to consider having his government allow the same kind of turtle racing as is•held in Manitoba. "He (Peterson) promised to do something, and a few weeks later an aide wrote to advise the Attorney General's office would lay charges if we held any form of betting races with turtles during Gala Days. "Fredericton merchants raised $600 for the Red Cross with cash tur- tle races at a mall last month. The turtle races were held last weekend in Boissevain, Man., and we have heard gopher races for cash were held recently in Saskat- chewan,"McNair said. Chairman Cornett said the message from Queen's Park "appears pretty clear. No matter what we try to do here, or who we try to work with, we're stymied at every turn.
