The "Walk down Woodward" for ALSAC by Gary Granger is now a splashing success and we can report that Gary survived and by this time is completely dry and warm again. The splashdown took place last Saturday with Gary clad in an old time swimming suit, life preserver, and inner tube. Through an oversight in the preparations, the life line which was supposed to have been attached to him was forgotten and he was rescued some distance downriver by the men of the Harbormaster Patrol who had been alerted ahead of time. Sunday is the big day of the Teen March.

Also on Sunday 40 winners of the FM Can-Am contest will be transported by bus to view the Challenge Cup Auto Races in the Irish Hills. They will also have the opportunity to meet racing driver Stirling Moss.
