(RCAF Photo) • — •";::•,.••••."."'"IM^ BY DOROTHY BARKER Ask these questions when you're buying a truck: What's the best size for a truck? A truck should only be as big as the lob it has to do. Any bigger and delivery costs skyrocket. The Volkswagen truck doesn't waste an inch or an ounce on useless space. It carries a full 170 cubic feet of load and has near perfect weight-to-payload ratio. What's the most economical truck to run? The .one that delivers the most goods for the lowest cost, Volks- wagen's delivery van has a far greater capacity than a standard half-ton truck yet it costs much less to run. No other truck con say this. Which truck is easiest to load? The truck that's oil doors—Volkswagen. The VW is the only truck with side and rear doors as standard equipment. You can walk right in through the double side doors from the curb; or load and unload through the rear door. Delivery time is cut down. What's the best 'engineered' truck? The one with the most sensible design. The Volkswagen delivery van has an all-steel, all-welded unitized body that provides extra strength without excess weight. The air cooled engine makes maximum use of aluminum and magnesium alloys and weighs only 198 lbs. Weight is evenly distributed throughout the truck. The driver up front, the engine in the reor and the load where it should be, cradled between the axles. Which truck has the best Service Plan? Volkswagen by far, When you buy a VW truck you get a 6 month, or 6,000 mile, parts and labour warranty. You also get a service book that starts you off with two free inspections and then provides for preventive maintenance on a planned basis for the life of the vehicle. the answer's a Volkswagen.

I spend my money like 'a sailor on shore leave, running my charge account into astronomi- cal, figures and my bank ac- count into abysmal ruin. It is all done in a spirit of affection. Such abandon and participa- tion in a spending spree has only one objective, to make those I care for happy. It was on a bright and sparkling morning that I de- cided the next day I would catch a train at dawn, pick up three grandchildren en route and head for the big city. This is an annual trek to see gay Christmas decorations, fabulous shop window displays and to absorb the joyous thrill chil- dren experience when they are let loose in toyland. I was as bug-eyed es they were and I loved it when an eight-year old, displaying his new - found knowledge that there wasn't really a Santa Claus, turned to his 'towering male parent and remarked, "But daddy, can't YOU buy all these things for me?" Then there was a little codger whose parents were trying to find out what he most wanted for Christmas by exposing him to this wonderland filled with trains, miniature cars he could climb into, fortresses of ten soldiers and books by the thousand. They were bewilder- ed when he exclaimed, "I want everything, eh?" There is a magic potion mix- ed each Christmas season that brings great joy to, thousands of youngsters. Take the fam- ous Diamond E of a well- known departnient store and mix it with the initials of Canada's publicly-owned rail- way, the CNR, throw in the imagination of a public rela- tions and display staff and you have a toy railroad travelling through an enchanted forest, completely dieselized like a really-truly train and touched with the. magic of make be- lieve. The three bairns were en- thralled, The tall white trees, asparkle with glitter, animat- ed white teddy bears and a candycane castle induced sighs of childish rapture. They came down the ramp from the plat- form after their ride hugging the gift a great white polar bear had presented to them and waving happily to the teddybear piernan. They did- n't hesitate too long for there was more to see. Whenever I lost Ricky I was sure to find hen watching the Safe Driving Week Set For December 1 to 7 Aimed at breaking down pub- lic apathy towards the toll of human life on Canada's high, ways, Safe-Driving Week is be, ing sponsored across Canada by the Canadian Highway Safe- ty Council between December 1 .0114 7, inclusive. With active participation by provincial and industrial :safety groups, WW1- en's organizations, the elergy, police, governments, service clubs, and other bodies and individuals, Safe-Driving Week will begin at midnight, Novem- ber 30,aerel end at midnight, December 7. There will be a dual target —the apathy of the .general public towards the slaughter on the highways, and the a- pathy of the motorist and ped- estrian towards their responsi- bilities, as individuals', to re- ducing the accidents, injuries, deaths and economic loss in traffic. The Council reports that, while December has gone slightly down the scale among months showing traffic deaths and injuries, it remains the worst month for highway ac- cidents. Safe-Driving Week, a cam- paign to stress the dire need for safe drivileg and safe walk- ing, will serve to lead-off the national monthlong campaign against Holiday Hazards con- ducted by police forces from coast to coast. toy trains making their never ending journey from one end of the miniature mountainous panorama to the other, or standing wander-eyed in front of a counter piled high with construction models. Susan, on. the &her hand, gravitated toward the artist supplies and ogled the models carved from soap, or formed by plasticene. Janet is our bundle of domesticity and her devotion was lavished on toy sinks, brooms, mops and bak- ing sets. I was reminded of the Christmas she was three and this characteristic began to make itself evident. At that time I bought her a baking set complete with the cutest pack- ages of cake mixes. She pro- ceeded to mix a chocolate cake in the middle of her mother's new sea green broadloom rug. I've never forgotten the wrath- ful look my daughter-in-law gave me as she tried to get the stain out. We finally made our way through mobs of screaming, laughing kids to the escalator. Down, down until we hit the subway level where we were taken to the Union Station. It was a comfort to put my feet up on the train seat apposite and know that three young- sters could safely run their ted- dy bear gift toys up and down the aisle all the way home while I sat and watched the miles roll by. Ah, Christmas, ah children, eh trains! Thursday Dec, 10 190 Thousands Return To Patrons Of UDPC Cooperative Over $56,000 in cash patron- age dividends will be returned to members and patrons of United Dairy and Poultry Co- operative Ltd. in Ontario, etc- cording to the management re, port to dairy and poultry pro- ducers at a zone meeting in Myth this week, In addition, a 40 cent per share dividend was declared on all common shares. T. E. Brady, General Manager of UDPC, said that sales volume was up this year, but increas- ed costs, including higher pric- es paid to producers and com- petitive pricing of products at wholesale level, meant lower patronage returns to farmers using 'the co-operative's servic- es. Mr. Brady said that in addi- tion to the cash patronage, pro- ducers received a greater per- centage of the final sales dol- lar due to the co-operative Just to THINK Christmas does things to me. It brings back happy and sometimes sad memories, or reminds me of friendships in the past that are often only kept alive by the annual exchange of cards dur- ing the holiday season. Rut best of all, I think it about the finest formula I know of to cement family relationships. Christmas is a time when I forget all about recessions, 'Clinton News-Record--,gage 15. competition in the buying mar- ket, UDPC branch planta han- dled 14 percent more milk, 8, percent more cream fat, and 27 percent more eggs than in the first year of operation in 1959.
