SCVJrPg hundreds
Be careful before you try to have hundreds
of dollars on that new car from the free=wheeling
city dealer. The only thing cheap about it may
be the selling tactics,
We've been hearing some wonderful tales
about those deals lately,
• Like: the fellow who purchased his 1961
model for only $2,296. What a dealt ire's been
making monthly payments of $107 since. Novem-
ber, a total investment so far of $$56. ,Just re,.
cently, he figured up how much remained, to. be
paid on his "low-cost" plan—he still ,owes.:$$,645
Arid change. Boy, what a deal!
And the father who took his family to the
city twice, cash in pocket, to buy the model ad
vertised at $2,365. Both times the answer was:
"Sorry, that model's just been sold but we have
another one here for just a bit more money , , .'1
• Perhaps you, too, have been warned not to
give up your ownership paper when you allow an
appraiser from the city firma to look over your car.
By the time you've decided the deal isn't so good
after all and want to get home, you find your old
car has been sold already. "Well, that's too bad, _f
guess the appraiser didn't realize we hadn't coin,
pleted a deal. But after all we're only a few bund,
red dollars apart, Let's finish the trade now and
save all the embarrassment."
Perhaps you're smart enough to handle the
''closer", 'the specialty man whose sole job is to
get your name on the dotted tine after the sales,
man has run through his bag of tricks. You"ll
likely be aware that the "closer" has been able
through intercom, to hear everything that's been
said, including the comments you and your wife
have been making "privately".
Sounds like great fun, eh? Some people
apparently enjoy it so much they've tried it again
"just to get even with those X#%/!* slickers".
Guess who wins the second round, too.
Trouble is, of course, the guy who's been
taken will. never admit it. "I must have saved at
least $500," he tells you jauntily as he jumps into
his new wagon. He doesn't reveal he's on his way
to see his lawyer; he spent yesterday in the city
trying to get the car serviced and complaining to
the .management that they hosed him.

tAccording to the calendar, I
'can chisel a week's holiday a
',the end of August, and we're
,a11 set. We're going on a camp
lung trip.
The kids and I would be
,happy enough to spend the
}week at some luxurious sum
mer hotel, but the Old Gir hear of it. She thinks a
week of roughing it is just, the
ticket. Of course, she's always
been Crazy about nature.
Lots of women, for example,
never go trout fishing. They
think it's an insane pastime.

she's come right along with

15 minutes, and she's all set.
the folding chairs. And often,
, she'll get out of the car the
minute we arrive and march
t right down and look at the
water for ten or twelve seconds
- at a stretch.
And you can tell she's road
about nature by the way she
keeps talking about camping
- trips. We've been talling about
u1 a camping trip ever since we
got married. I just sort of
ramble on in an impractical
way about the fishing and sit-
ting around the campfire and
stuff lake that, But you can
spot her as a seasoned camp-
er, because she gets down to
sensible things and makes a
list of what she'd need, things
like her ironing board and a
spring -filled mattress, I guess
the reason we've never gone
on our camping trip is that I'm
too dreamy and romantic about
it, and never get down to the
basic essentials as she does.
She ties an old $7 scarf
around her hair and away we
go. And when we get to the
:stream, do you think she com-
plains about the hard going
and the mosquitoes? Not on
your life. She just rolls up the
car windows, gets out her
book, turns on the radio and
its there, roughing it, while
I fish.
* * *
But she's always been wild
about nature, so it's no won-
der she talked • us into this
camping trip, She jet likes to
get right out in nature and
revel an it. She's what you
might call an amateur natur-
alist. She knows the name of
aIle the wild flowers, like the
daSdelion and the geranium,
and you can't fool her on birds.
You'll be standing there, won-
dering what that bird ,is, and
before you can tentatively
reutinur "thatch - erofted tit-
willow," she's flashed out "It's
a crow,"

roughing it like their pioneer
ancestors if they spend two
weeks at a cottage with out-
door plumbing.
My wife isn't like that, and
i admire her for it. i've seen
her spend a week in a cot-
tage, right out on some wild
beach with no neighbours
closer than forty or fifty feet,
and nothing to cook on but an
old electric stove with only
two burners, and do you think
there was a whimper out of
her? Not en your life.
.and she's absolutely intrepid
in the outdoors. Some women
are frightened of anything big-
ger than an ant. Not my brave
girl. I've seen her stamp her
foot fearlessly at a chipmunk
and tell him to beat it. And
she was only two days getting
over it the time the porcu-
pine walked past the cottage.
* *
No, she doesn't seem to
know the meaning of fear,
when she's out in nature. I've
seen her go right out in a row-
boat and not even hang onto
the sides, aftet' the first 20
minutes.
And when she wants to go
swimming, it doesn't matter
what the weather's like, as
long as the sun is shining and
the temperature's in the 80's
and she has a new $24 swim
suit and she hasn't lost or
gained any weight during the
winter and there aren't 'any
waves and there are no stones
en the bottom and there's a
kid dragging her by each
hand.
Well, you Can see what
we're up against. As 1 said,
the kids and I would be happy
enough knocking around at
some plush resort, but whether
we like it or not, she's going
to drag us off on this kookie
camping trip.
All I have to do between
now and the last week in Au-
gust is borrow 'a tent with twin
beds and an oil furnace in it,
and make sure the staff at AI-
ginquin Park has 'killed all
mosquitoes in the park and in-
stalled plugs for our vacuum
cleaner and clothes dryer at
all campsites.

A flowery tribute
Reporting today is on a vast-
ly different scale to what it
wasmany not ye ars ago,
I remember when I first be-
gan to write up weddings, I
would go over the reports in
the various daily papers and
then pick out and revise a re•
port that I thought best fitted
the wedding I had to report,
1 often did the same thing
about obituaries, I recall being
told of a reader away from
home reading one of the wed-
dings thought it so funny that
he called up a friend and read
it to him over the phone.
One example that particular-
ly appeals to ine was the obi-
tuary of Mr, R. C. C. Tre•
amine that appeared i n the
Exeter Advocate in June, 1902
when the late C, H, Sanders
was editor, It reads as follows:
"One of the most shocking
deaths that has ever occurred
in Exeter took place at the
Commercial Hotel when the
spirit of Richard Cecil Charles
Tremaine, one of Exeter's best
known i
highly
businessmen and
respected residents, took its
flight. The journalistic func-
tion is varied, while today we
indicate the happy occasion of
some joyous wedding event
and tomorrow the details of
some deathbed scene, it sel-
dom occurs that we are called
upon to perform so sad a task
as that now before us. The
blow is too sudden and the
shock yet too fresh to write
with calmness of so. shocking
an event which has saddened
all hearts in Exeter.
"About two weeks ago our
departed fellow citizen was af-
flicted with what was supposed
to be an attack of mumps.
The usual precautions were
taken but the results did not
seem to end there. A few days
later he was attacked with
pains in the stomach and vom-
iting, which continued for sev-
eral days, witha very weak-
kening effect, but no one could
have dreamed that the cold
hand of deathwouldsoon be
laid upon. him. Monday morn-
ing he took a change for the
worse.
"His heart being in a very
weak condition, he sank rapid-
ly and at the time above stated
he passed away and without a
struggle the curtain was wrung

down on Itis brave and kindly
life. He was eared for by his
friends and medical advisers
most assiduously and kindly,
but no human power could
avert the stroke of death,
"Mr, Trernaine was a young
man of a particularly bright
mind and with a bright future
ahead of him. He was a Tor-
onto University graduate and
his career as a student was a
most eventful one, displaying
scholarly tact and 'aptitude.
The deceased has been a resi-
dent of town for several years,
during which time he was as,
sociated with the Electric Light
Co. and at the trine of his
death was a partner with (Mr,
Chas, Snell. He was one of the
most public spirited of our citi-
zens and in a amore private
capacity as a friend he was
Tveable and generous in all
his impulses and ready to lend
a helping hand to anyone in
trouble.
"He was a member of Leba-
nonForest Lodge No. 133, AP
& AM and
as a friend and bro-
ther will be very much 'missed,
The remains were taken to the
depot, accompanied by several
of his Masonic brethren and
froth there were conveyed to
Dartmouth, N.S., to be interred
beside those of his father and
mother."
A young mother was shocked
to learn her little son had told
a lie. Taking him on her knee,
she vividly explained what
happened to little boys who did
so. "A big black demon with
fiery eyes and two sharp horns
grabs little boys who tell lies
and carries them off •at night.
They have to work in a dark
canyon 50 years. Now you
won't . tell another lie, will
you?" ;
"No, ma'am," came the
prompt reply. "You can tell
'em much bettor" than 1 can."

During a hurricane in .Florida,
a woman was terribly upset
and couldn't sleep a wink. But
her husband was •sleeping as
if nothing was going on.
"Darling, this house is rock-

away," she said, shaking him.
"Oh, go to sleep," he said,
"we're only renting it."
