has been charged by the federal Environmental Protection Service with polluting water frequented by fish. The Fisheries Act charge arose out of an incident March 91 the company's Vancouver Plywood division, beside the Fraser River; "fisheries officer Tom Carscadden said Friday. The EPS alleges water that had been repeatedly used throughout the winter for soak- ing frozen logs to warm them for cutting was dumped onto company land where it -flowed into a ditch draining into the Fraser. Mr. Carscadden said no fish were found dead, but the solution of log-soaking water that went into the Fraser was toxic to fish.

About 21,000 gallons were dumped, although not all may have reached the river, he said. He added that the company has a generally good record in preventing pollution, especially at LJie plywood division. The company, once alerted, moved immediately to stop further drainage of the solution into the he said.

This year, for the" first time, pilots who fly over the race looking for downed bathtubbers will become recognized as "dirty birds" of the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Fleet Air Arm. As added precautions, United States and Canadian ships will fllow tubbers across. Police boats will be positioned on both sides of the race and Coast Guard boats Mil patrol.

Added this year is a Red Cross boat. There has never been a serious accident in the race although one year a man was cut badly while lifting a tub out of the water onto an escort boat. Each bathtub must be accompanied by an escort boat of not less than 14 feet. The possibility of an accident is ever-present in minds of the bathtub society, who warn tubbers of the dangers and have limited the race to people 16-years-old and older so a child is not injured. There had been children as young as eight-years-old entered previously.

The race is all but over by about 3 p.m., when awards are presented in the Kitsilano Showboat for the first 10 to cross. Some special awards are avilable for events or tubs not predictable in fact most of the race is Predictions are that more than 225 bathtubs will be entered in the Sunday race from Nanaimo across 34 miles of Georgia Strait to Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver Sunday at 10 a.m. By Friday afternoon there were 191 entrants who paid their $3 fee and there was no end in sight to the interest this eighth annual race had evolked. Best time across the water so far was by David Lyle, two years ago when he made it over in less than two hours. Nanaimo harbor has small craft zigging and zagging across its waters as tubs from Australia, New Zealand, Florida and other parts of United States and Canada try their tubs for maximum speed in these final When the starting cannon is fiVed and the flares go up Sunday morning, the normally placid waters are churned into a white froth and the sound of the six-horsepower motors can be heard more than two miles away.

That about 50 tubs actually make it to the other side is not so much a marvel, but that so few turn turtle is that Maelstrom is almost a miracle.
