that pressure of war work keeps
a majority of sailors busy at their
jobs, today indefinitely postponed
its first annual 180-mile long dis

Commodore Charles w. Beck Jr.
made the following announcement:
"Due TO the great number Of
men that are now In the service
OF our country who find IL neces-
sary TO work over the weekend,
Bayview Yacht Club deems IL
advisable to postpone its first
annual 180-mlle---LabOr Day

Many shippers and crews, who
work in defense plants, are unable

more than a day. The long dis
lance race, which starts in Lake
Huron above Port Huron and
sends the boats 10 Goderich, Ont,
across the lake 10 Harbor Beach
and back to the starting point,
would last three days.
The race conflicted directly with
the forty-fifth annual Detroit
Yacht Club Sweepstakes regatta,
which is scheduled for this Sun
day. Many shippers of the larger
boats of the Mackinac race type
were loath TO sail in the 1S0-mile
event because they would miss the
