MAINTENANCE PROBLEM

Air Vice-Marshal M. M. Hen- drick. chief of RCAF technical ser- vices. cites these figures in point- ing of the smwlns problem of maintenance.

Writing in the Canadian Aero- nautical Journal. he sayaz.

"Our ability in the air force to maintain the devices which we require is a definite limitation on

a bow and arrow that works than a musket that doesn't and we must face up to the fact that we cannot get so complicated in our

Air Vice Marshal Hendrick says he is reserving his views on whether the coming generation of let fighters. such as the super- sonic CF-105 for the RCAF. will be the last to carry men.

"Much will depend upon the ability of the guided missile to demonstrate that it will be able In fact to do all the things that .are promised of it. . L "Guided missiles are not simple .devlces by. any means and there will be long periods of develop- ment, trial and evolution before we will know precisely with how much of the burden of our air defence they can be trusted."

The B Trot brought out a field of eight good trotters with three of them winning dashes. Patrick Budlong, owned and driven by George Turner, Dartmouth, won the first in 2:13 1-5 with Ted Gene- see (A. Llewellyn) 2. Senator Cralgmyle (Ramsay) 3. The sec- ond dssh was won by Ted Genesee owned by Roy Bevan, in 2:10 46 which knocked two seconds off his record. Senator Cralgmyle was 2. Patrick Budlong 3.

tninly a' great get together. There is nothing like it in the Maritime: and we trust it will be successful financially for the promoters. Rac- ing will be continued this after- noon and tonight. In the afternoon program will be the big free for all in which Convair 2:01 or one of the other starters may possibly break the track record of 220515.

A friend of this column writes us that John E. Kelley of Bangor, Maine died last Friday night. He owned many of the best horses that raced in the Maritimes, usual- Iy in Bob Ryan's stable, and it was from his stable that Marjorie M. 2:07V4 came. Mr, Kelley was a great favorite with all race fans and was one of the best supporters of the sport for over fifty years.

From Vern Oatway we learn that Kalmuck's Last has won a couple of races at Blue Bonnets, Montreal, in the past two weeks and we understand that Bay State Pat lost his first race in eight starts at Yonkers reccntly.... The lights were put on at Sussex race track Thursday night and 26 start- ers faced the starter.
