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.

A resolutions committee at
the Huron Federation of Agri-

recommendation to all Huron
County farm people to endorse

Another resolution suggest-

Congratulations to Doreen

tight money, a poor stock
market and soaring costs. 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.

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.

ending journey from one end
of the miniature mountainous
panorama to the other, or

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!

In addition, a 40 cent per

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

Mr. Brady said that in addi-
