The most famous pipe • band in
the world — The Pipes and
rim= of tlia First Battalion of
the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

coming to Canada this summer.

"pop charts" through North
America and Europe.

How to enjoy
vacation at home
Vacationing at home? Look at
the advantages — no traffic to
contend with, no tired children in
the back seat, no worry about
accommodations. But the On-
tario Safety League says that you
should be just as cautious at
home as if you were vacatio
hundreds of miles away.
•For example, water's water,
whether it's a distant beach or a
backyard pool. Small children
should never use • a home ,or
apartment building pool except
when supervised by an adult.
• Mr. Fix -It will probably try to
do in two weeks all the home
repair jobs that have accumu-
lated all year. Urge him to take
things easy and work moderate-
ly. If you work in the sun, be sure
to get plenty of salt in your food
and water or use salt tablets.

they got bogged down in the mudhole. It all provided interesting viewing for
several thousand spectators who lined the course during the senior and
expert motocross competition Sunday afternoon in Walton.

An estimated 2,500 spectators
spread .across hillsides, wedged
between turns and lined the ropes
beside mudholes just outside
Walton Sunday to watch • 175
senior and expert riders compete
for points and cash prizes in the
demanding • motorcycle sport
known as motocross.
They were rewarded with an
afternoon of excellent racing in
near -perfect conditions.

Maitland Dirt Riders of 'Walton,
were the third round of the
Molson Ontario Motocross Cham-
pionship, a six -race series held

and, according to the gate crew
who were up all night, continued
until morning. Racing started at
11 a.m. and concluded at 5 p.m.

the best of both worlds — a chal-

competitors and plenty of in-
teresting viewing for the spec-
tators. Though it was one and a
quarte- miles long, very little of
it was in a straight line. It incor-
porated plenty of switchbacks,
jumps and off -camber turns, with
a mudhole or two thrown in.
Favorite spots for viewing
were near the large mudhole,
which "ate" unwary riders, or
near the crests of several hills,
where the machines would come
flying up and get airborne briefly
before plunging down the other
side.
