CAR RALLY ENTRIES

Women From Britain

(Bv SUSAN VAI GHANI

To my list of women who are fighting the good fight in breaking down the barriers of a man’s world, I add the names of Patricia Ozanne and Mrs Ines Crease. Patricia Ozanne, who Is 39. and lives in Britain’s Fenland district, drov? an Austin Cooper in the Monte Carlo rally—probably the toughest of all the world’s car rallies Inside her car were the necessities of rally travel: for example, a shovel to dig the car out of snow which covers much of Europe at the moment; glucose drink and raisins to sustain her over the long wearying drives; spare windscreen wiper blades and spare clothes.

Bui largely her equipment was packed in her own alert mind—the* experience of nine years of rallying in thevTulip (Holland), the Alpine, the Geneva, and the Acropolis (Greece) rallies Mrs Crease is a 49-year-old mother who ha: aecome assistant manage - of the London office of a New York stx ckbroking firm. In busy weeks she buys and sells stocks and shares worth thousands of dollars. She also advises clients, many of them men. None of them apparently minds taking advice from a woman. She says: “Any handicap that may come from being a woman is easily offset by the courtesy with which men treat you.”
