It seems that this affair is simply a "party" for the Americans who usually© dominate most of the events and when they are beaten it is quite an upset. Our swimmers, as always, were our best group, with the girls outshining the boys. Vancouver‘s Elaine Tanner was outstanding, of course, and Angela Coughlan of Toronto U.S.A.C. looks like a comer with worldâ€"class potential. Sometimes I think it would be better to disperse with all these "Games" and simply hold World Championships â€" every . year. There‘s the Olympics, European, British Empire, Panâ€"American, Asian, and several more affairs that are becoming almost meanâ€" ingless. They should combine them all into one big extravaâ€" ganza every year. It might help to keep the people‘s minds off war too, if they were kept busy at sport, Considering everything, it is remarkable _ that _ Etobicoke‘s New Toronto residents who are not hopping off to Expo or holidaying otherwise may be inâ€" terested to learn that Centenâ€" nial International will pay triâ€" bute to the people who have conâ€" tributed to our cultureâ€"those from Europe, Britain, Latinâ€" America and the Caribbean.
