Emphasis appears to be placed on the develop- ment of individual athletes for the Georgian Bay and OFSAA com- petitions. Enthusiasm to capture the overall award at the York County cham- pionships seems to be secondary this season among the six local teams participating. In my view, lack of proper training facilities, increased qualifying competitions, and finances, have combined to cause this cutback in enthusiasm for track and field by local high schools. The addition of yet another qualifying meet after the Georgian Bay finals is designed to minimize the number of competitors who will advance to the OFSAA finals in Sudbury one week later The south zone, con- sisting of Bayview Secondary School, 'l‘hornlea, Langstaff, Richmond Hill, 'l‘hornhill, St. Roberts, Woodbridge and Markham, have always provided keen competition and Ontario finalists in this sport. The pathetic facility situation with Richmond Hill is well known with only one 400-metre track at Langstaff Secondary School being available and this facility is in need of extensive repair. Track and field com- petitions among the local high schools fires off Thursday at the 'l‘homlea track. Starting gun fires!

This year's York County championships will be held outside the region at Etobicoke Stadium in Metro Toronto, the Georgian Bay finals are slated, once again for Parry Sound . . . a good two hours drive north. A semiâ€"final meet for OFSAA is scheduled for Brantford. 100 miles to the west; then the OFSAA Final exam time has always been pressing close on the heels of the track and field season and the loss of study and classroom time has never sat well with many of the local educators. In short, Peugeot is an economical car specifically because it‘s not a cheap one Because when you have a better car in the beginning, you save money in the end. Some 46,000 points on every single Peuéeot are subjeet to'figorous quality control. And every single Peugeot is subjected to a thorough testdrive before it leaves the factory.
