In Britain, the yacht-building industry has had the biggest boom since World War II. For today yachting is no longer considered the amuse- ment of the rich. It has become a national recreation of the people.
Instead of the teak-decked luxury craft of the past, with their paid crews and millionaire owners, the majority of sailing craft now are small boats — handy occan racers, cosy family cruisers, racing dinghies or pocket-size heats for juniors, moal of them week-end hobbies or homes for ordinary folk.

Sydney, Aug. 25.
The critical remarks by the Manager of the South team in China soccer team on the treatment of his Australia were "definitely untrue," the Secretary of the Australian Soccer Association, Mr Roy Druery, said today. Yesterday Manager Chan Nam-cheong said his team had been treated "shoddily" and that the Australians had been greedy over money.
