But in spring and summer, when the green returns to its own in nature, they reach the peak of their popularity. Spring salad combines shredded cabbage and carrots with a wise choice of other vegetables. The mixture is chilled three days in a sweet and sour marinade made from a blend of corn oil, vinegar and light corn syrup. The final product is worth the three day wait. It keeps crisp and fresh in the refrigerator for several days. The second recipe is a lettuce slaw. In it, real mayonnaise is blended with green pepper and other seasonings and the dressing is tossed-with shredded crisp iceberg lettuce. The mixture is delicious mounded on • hick tomato slices. S RELISH SALAD ADDS ZEST TO MENUS Even if something wears out you save money. As we all know, Volkswagens don't change much from year to year. So the parts that make up a Volkswagen, therefore, don't change much either, (And if we don't spend a lot on new parts—neither do you.) Also, the way we fix VW's ends up saving you money as well. Because behind every Volkswagen dealership is a staff of factory-trained VW mechanics. Each one a graduate of the Volkswagen School of Horrors. There, we make them take VW's apart and put them together and take them apart and put them together until they can almost do it with their eyes shut. And again, since Volkswagens don't change much, our mechanics get plenty of practice (and plenty good at) servicing them. Which keeps labour charges down. And if you don't need a brand new part, they'll fix you up with a brand new old part. (Our exchange parts work just as well as new ones—they just don't cost as much.) And lately, we've come up with what might be the ultimate money-saving device, Our new VW Diagnosis System. With all its electronic eyes and ears, it can see and hear things that a mechanic can't. And actually spot trouble before it happens. And you don't have to pay for something that doesn't happen. • Don Taylor Motors Ltd, MAIN ST.

Summertime, The time of year when families will pack up and go on trips, no matter what you tell them, to enrich the lives of their children and spend a glorious two weeks or so of togetherness in a car. Last year a friend of ours started out on a coast to coast tour to proudly show "Canada to the kids", he said. A month later he returned a trembling wreck . • . 10 pounds lighter, haggard and dull of eye from fatigue and frustration. "How'd you make out?" we inquired. He began to mumble something about darned kids who fought like wild steers, blew bubble gum in his hair, who kept their eyes glued on comic books while passing through spectacular country and threw up in the back seat. Well, we'd warned him. We could remember our trips like it was yesterday. Invariably, we'd start out with everybody fresh, excited and bright eyed on a sunny, dewy morning for what appeared to be a perfect trip. But, whether we were going 150 or 1,500 miles we always had one fellow who, ten miles from home would ask, "How much further is it?" or "When are we going to get there?" The same two questions would be repeated at least a million times before we finally reached our destination. All our children suffered from car sickness .. . in varying degrees. Though we loaded up with Gavel, gum, soda pop, it was inevitable before the trip was over there would be at least one time when Father wouldn't get stopped in time, and we would spend the balance of the trip in a vehicle that reeked to high heaven. One such holiday was spent driving through the Smoky Mountains of Virginia. No treatment of any kind could halt the onslaught of car sickness that beseiged two of the kids as we travelled through this lovely county over rolling, hair pin curved roads. Since it would have taken us a month to get over the mountains if we stopped the car everytime one of them threatened to "Frow up", I put one shopping bag inside another, placed it between my knees and with a sick kid on each side of me we tore through those mountains like a bat out of hell. Since I have a weak stomach myself we still had to stop several times to replenish the bags! They tell me the Blue Mountain country is beautiful ... I wouldn't know. It was at that time, though, I made an oath that if those kids were ever going to see the world they were going to do it on their own time and without me holding their paper sacks. Both have grown up and have jetted across the country and back alone and as far as I know they managed O.K. Then, there was the game of Count the Cows. You knew the one . . . each child counts the cows on his side of the road to see who gets the most at the end of the day. If you see a white horse you add ten cows. This would go well until Brother would catch Sister counting a mule. "Cheater, cheater," he would scream lustily while administering a sharp kick to her shin. "Shadup," she'd yell back, belting him one over the head. "Why dontcha," he'd wail. Turning to me for support he would beseech, "Tell her she can't count the funny looking horse." "Listen," I would cajole in exasperation, "for all I care you can count cows, horses, pigs, goats, hippopotami or giraffes . just so long as you stop that racket." All would be serene until he caught her countingaickens. In turn, then,he would begin to count turkeys, ducks, geese, birdies in the treetops and any fowl in air, sea or land. Since he was younger and not so good at arithmetic his count leaped up by hundreds and tens of thousands. The fracas, engulfing the rear, was only stopped when Father finally lost his temper and patience and let out a roar that would stop a tornado. Shortly after, the little one who has been quiet through all this, would decide he'd had enough of the back seat and tumbles over to the front kicking his dad in the ear and wiping his sticky hands through my hair. We find out why he'd been so quiet . . . he'd found a cache , of suckers I'd hidden under the seat, and consumed them all while hiding under a blanket on the floor. The next to youngest would decide on a change of scenery too and scramble over. Then sister would get lonesome and fall over next contusing all of us with her flailing heels. I would sit there amid that constant bickering and squirming sure that life was not worth it and wishing fervently we had not found this trint necesSarY. About this time the little fellow would decide he was 'squished' and shuttle back to the back and stretch out in luxury on the empty seat. Then, for no apparent reason one of the others would start to sing a little song he had learned at Sunday School and the other would join in. They would sing it throughand start on another and another and another in their sweet, lilting, childish voices. The frustration and linger Would flow out of me And As f looked down at their grubby, little angel faces I would pet ashamed - of myself .for having been so annoyed with them.. As the sun lowered in the sky, and in a mood of mellowness and peace we would pull into a quiet motel to refresh Ourselves for the trip on the day ahead whatever it would bringl P. 44 It RELISH SALAD 1 medium head cabbage, finely shredded 2 carrots, coarsely shredded 2 medium cucumbers, pared and quartered lengthwise 2 small green peppers, chopped 1 medium onion, minced 1 cup vinegar 1 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup corn oil 1 teaspoon salt 'A teaspoon pepper Western iceberg lettuce Lightly toss together cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in large bowl.
