C. Sports Festival, one world, nine national and 27 provineial Marks were set, B. C. teams won 39 of 62 inter-provincial and in- ternational sports events held throughout the province. Representatives of the British Columbia Sports Federation, an association of the province's amateur sports groups, which co- sponsors the Festival of Sports in conjunction with the B, C. Department of Travel Industry, are anticipating 200,00) com- petitors, an even greater par- ticipation than last year when some 125,000 athletes were competing. On May 20 the festival cairn in front of the Parliament Buildings in Victoria will be lighted by Prime Minister W. A. C. Bennett. Provincial and national flags will be unfurled and the B. C. Sports Festival will be officially open. The B. C.

Corporation, All outboard motors produced by the company will be ' drain-free in all models by mid- summer. This will ellminate any spillage of fuel or oil, It is the first ovntboard manufacturer to offer its com plete lines of motors -— ranging from 2 horsepower to 125 HP — without overboard fuel drains. In announcing the en- vironmental breakthrough, which will be a tremendous factor in cutting down the pollution of waterways with fuel and oil, a company official summarized it as follows: First, we made use of technology acquired over 4 period of years to make the largest outboards drainless by means of a straight-in, downhill, induction system, and extended this to all motors of 60 HP and up. Second, we tidied-up the historically messy two-cycle engine by completely sealing the crankcases on all of our out boards to prevent of] or fuel leaks. Third, we solved the remaining problems to make the small engines drainless by the use of a patented fuel drainage re-cycling and injection system, Charles D. Strang, OMC’s group vice-president for marine products, said: . The ‘‘drainless systems technology we are announcing has enabled OMC to alleviate the concern of the boating public for introduction of fuels and oils into the world’s waterways.” According to Strang, OMC’s marine engineering staff began development of the drainless engine several years ago. He reported that the first drain-free motors were featured as star dard equipment only on the largest units in those product . lines. Now the drainless engine technology is being applied across the full line of outboards. Howard F. Larson, OMC's vice president of environmental af- ‘fairs, announced the company’s exclusive offer to share its technical knowledge on the subject, of making engines . drainless with outboard ‘engine™ manufacturers throughout the world. — “Ouc corporate concern for - ‘abating ali forms of water pollution, regardless of how. minimal, is reflected in our “technical development of these drain-free engines for our -eomplete lines of Evinrude motors. “We feel so strongly about this. achievement, and the clean ‘water: benefits it will bring ;to™ boating, that we hereby extend to all outboard engine producers a _ Poyalty-free licenceta use any or all of the patents, ’.issued and: “pending, that apply:’to-the: fuel” recirculation — drainless enginés,” Larson said. system — for Technical aspects of the new . lines of drainless engines was -. presented by S.L:; ‘Metcalf, OMC's .. director | of marine engineering; He said the engines are air breathers and the action starts in the carburetor where fuel is mixed with incoming air and proportioned for _ optimum combustion. * He Stressed that only the through the engines reed valves amount of fuel to be burned | supplied. “The trick is to Kee thia outboard fuel in suspensic and . vaporized throughout t engine: cycles. " This is accomplished by’ ir; froducing the mixed charg’ - Compressing this charge in completely sealed crankcase 4 and lastly, by transferring it int ‘the ‘cylinder through th Scavenging system. Once insid the cylinder, with its port: closed, there is no escape for the "fuel, and since it has maintainec "its vaporized: state, it will. be burned in the engine with noneec to drain any of it overboard. Emphasizing’ the: ‘ company’s concern for fuel drainage, Metcalf said that’ his marine engineering staff had con- centrated on. eliminating any form of., fuel’ “puddling”’ anywhere in the engine, whether in the carburetor, manifold or crankcase... | To challenge rugged outdoor conditions, Ronson built the © néw Ronson Butane Windlite. is amazingly windproof—and refuel with the exclusive Ronson Multifill.: Pick one up for yourself or the oittdoorsman you know.
