In other words, the car and truck are here to stay, There are a few interesting statistics that I would like to mention, although I realize that , statistics can be awfully boring. Take for example the average Oar owner, one of the 2,100,000 such car owners, for there were that many in the end of 1951. The average owner bought his car outright,' without the aid of a finance company, and he bought that car for the specific pur- pose of use in his profession or busi- ness, In fact, travel in connection with his business or his livelihood, makes up 8 and 113 of every ten miles chalked tip on the speedometer, Only one mile out of every 10 is classed as pleasure driving. The average car owner has an average wage of $2,500 and there are three persons in his family. He drives an average of 6200 miles per year, and considering that the speedometer on his car has al- ready registered some 27,000 miles, it Must be considered that the average car is about four years of age. Ac- cording to the survey, six out of every ten cars purchased, are bought for work or business purposes, 65 out of every hundred miles driven in Can- ada are directly connected with the way the owners makes his living, and incidentally, that is about 14% higher than the American average.

Yes, the motor car and the motor - truck are more than essential, and it is easy to see, why the motor vehicle is secondary in importance, only to the roof over our heads, the bread we eat and the clothing that we wear.

Compare that situation with today, The -only way that you could turn peoples heads on the streets or the roads today, would be. to drive down that same road, new paved with cement or asphalt, with a team and wagon, or a horse and buggy. Chances are, you would create a greater sen- sation than did Grandad 35 years ago with his Model T. We have come a long way since those days, and the car and the truck are now accepted not only as a means of travel, but also as a part of our way of life. There is no country in the world, with the exception of the United States, where the automobile plays such an important part in the daily lives of the average people. Even the bicycle has been forgotten and only the children seem to take any great interest in it. I have on my desk a copy of a brochure provided by the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the result of a 1951 survey by that organization. It gives some interesting figures on the uses of the family car, It points out that here in Canada, the only things that are more important to the average eitzien, are food, cloth- vey, there are some interesting fig- ures, Forty-one per cent of the far, net's in Canada use a car every day, and that is about the average of all Canada, Twenty-seven out of every 100 housewives use the family car every day, and the ration of men and women drivers, stands at 44 men to every 28 women, Thirty-one out of every 100 farm households own a truck of one kind or another. Ninety- five per cent of all Ontario farm pro- duce, finds its way to the market by motor truck. The Canadian average, looks something like this; 90% of all milk, 67c'b of all hogs, 66% of all calves, 60% of cattle on the hoof, and 54% of all sheep are delivered to market by trucks. Consider too that after these have been processed, that they usually are again trucked to the My New Year Prayer Dear Lord, I ask Thee For this New Year, An extra gift of courage My little trials to bear. I ask not for success; For wealth or fame or power; I ask for added faith To live life, hour by hour, Give me kindly thoughts, Lord, To use for charity. I want no gold to give, I'll spend kind thoughts for Thee., —Ruth Richwine Smith.
