Bathtub Race. Proud as they are of Expo's success, Canadians have taxed their imaginations to make sure that their centennial will be remembered for more than the fair alone. Oil Rigger Clint Shaw, 25, is demonstrating his patriotism by roller-skating 4,000 miles eastward from Victoria to Newfound land. Teams of Canadians dressed in the garb of the early fur traders are paddling from Alberta to Expo in a 3,300-mile canoe race.

By last week, only Libya among the major Arab producers had failed to resume shipments of at least some oil to other countries. Nonetheless, Arab oil, which supplied one-third of the world's needs until the outbreak of last month's Arab-Israeli war, was flowing at less than half its normal rate of 10,300,000 bbl. a day. And the continued shutdown of the Suez Canal forced Middle East-to-Europe oil shipments on a costly detour around the Cape...
