other arenas But Sunday it's momentarily surrendering its neutrality as Ascot Park features a night of racing dedicated to POW-MIAs prisoners of war and personnel missing in action Perhaps the issue of the POWs is not a political issue but rather a humane and moral one a good idea to recognize a group like insists Ascot publicity director Ben Foote who has never coordin ated a sports event with an activity like this before Ascot and CAMRA (California Automobile Motor Racing Association) are featuring their regular Figure-8 stock car show Sunday while POW-MIA supporters have a free rein with the rest of the activities has been great in says Jim Bottrell one of the originators of the idea Bottrell singled out Harbor Area residents Chuck Murray Ascot's starter and CAMRA representative Ron Walker for their support along with Agajanian and Foote Although the concept of combining a sports event with a dedication to POWs and MIAs is a novel idea it came naturally to Bottrell While an active supporter of POWs Bottrell has also been associated with the American Motorcycle Association and racing in general going to try to do something like this each month" says Bottrell need money as much as we do support We just want to keep mir prisoners in front of the Although Bothell's group will not receive a portion of Asc gate persons with Prisoner Of War or Missing In Action bracelets will be admitted to the night of racing at the discounted junior admission price of $2 Bracelets and other articles supporting POWs and I As will be on sale inside Ascot "We have invited families of 54 POW-MIAs to Ascot says Bottrell The families of San Pedro's POW Capt John Fer and Sgt Don Newton (MIA) were a mongthe people invited lot of poeple ask us about the background of prisoners whose name they have on our bracelets This will be a good chance for them to learn something about some of the Bottrell indicated that some family members of POWs will speak to the Ascot crowd Sunday Because the purpose of sustaining the idea of the POWs condition in the mind of Americans is the main objective of Bothell's group more sports-oriented gatherings ay be a thing of the future talking about dedicating the Ontario race (California 500) to says Bottrell Sports events have traditionally been a place for people to roll up their sleeves and relax It allows everyone to forego the serious momentarily to get involved with the simple pleasures of a game Usually moral and political issues display their appeals in other meeting places a healthy situation But periodically it may be good to mention the serious in one of our most relaxed environments the way Jim Bottrell and his group feel 7A1YSAMA SALES SERVICE SINCE 1964 ACCESSORIES TIRES BATTERIES DON'T FORGET IF YOU HAVE A NEW OR USED
