Driven the new Volkswagen yet?
She's loads of fun.
More and more people are having
the time of their life driving the new
VW. There's 10% more power, The
new Volkswagen leaps away at lights
as if it was going to a fire, You can
put your foot down anytime you like,
in any gear you like, and really take
off, The engine torque is increased
too, There's more power to call on in
eve ry gea r—passing is so fe r and faster.
And now that first gear is synchrohized,
the Volkswagen's easier than ever to
drive, You can shift straight down to
first pear without stopping the car,
This eliminates a lot of unnecessary
stopping and starting, (Women drivers
especially will like this change).
All four gear ratios have been modib
lied to take advantage of the new
engine's output. You can thread your
way through heavy traffic or give it
its head on the highway, In any gear,
the new Volkswagen's a fat more fun
to drive,
There's more luggage space in the
new tar too; 10 cubic feet in all, A
full 5 up front and another .5 behind
the back seat. Some of these improve-
ments in the De Luxe Volkswagen are
also in the Custom model.
There's so much to say about the new
tar, why not pet it first hand. Take her
out tonight; she's waiting, bright and
shining, at your VW dealer.

hould take this opportunity to
try my hand at writing an essay
on "a trip I tools",
On Sunday, SepteMber 25, Bob
Ilussell. And my:Steil started out
for an extended trip to Califor-
nit. This trip took us through 15
of the ,states in the United States
end through various weather
conditions that ranged from 20
degrees to 95 degrees and from
clear blue skies to skies that
were covered with snow clouds.
The first part of the trip
through the central states un-
folds a terrain much similar to
what we are accustomed in
Ex e t e r, However, travelling
through the states of Illinois And
Missouri, one is confronted with
field after field of corn.
Although this seemed rather
monotonous as we drove along,

Siring everywhere
Because our itinerary was
mostly made up for sightseeing
in Las Vagas and California, we
("dn't stop to see the local at-
'eactions as we passed through
lee Southern States, so all we
("d was read the signs that en-

ler that he is 30 miles from the

For eny one who has travelled
through the States, one of the
most significantdifferences he
ees is the number of signs
^tong the roadside, Although
}here is really nothing of im-
-dance to see in the surround-
lee countryside, it would be al-
most impossible because of the
eenglomeration of signs that are
aced along the highway, These
-ems are placed as far as 100
,riles from the attraction that
they proclaim, and are placed
after that at five-mile intervals
enlil you come to within five

then they are placed every half
mile or so.

Called one of the wonders of

of canyon walls and mile deep

Fontunately we arrived at the
canyon at sundown, and the
1- hole expanse of rock was

l'-e canyon walls would take a
rerson over 200 miles, so we
rierely 'viewed • the scene from
several vantage points on the

We don't know who first die-
revered the canyon, but; it must
have given him quite a thrill as

FAST RELIEF FOR
RHEUMATIC
PAIN
Ian
After watching the Ford show
on TV, You are amazed at the
surroundings at* the studio, The
stage is much smaller than you
would expect, and is surrounded
by a battery of cameras and
lights. The background scenery
is, all sitting at one side, and is
moved into place as it As. need-
ed.
The song and dance routine
that was put o Y"P" "Top
20" had been previously record-
ed and as the :dancers moved
about the stage, they merely
"mouthed" the words of the
song. We erived at Norma's in
time to see it on TV, after hav-
ing been at the studio, and this
was not in the least bit notice-
able to the audience,
Disneyland highlight
A trip through the fabulous
grounds at Disneyland would
certainly have to be called one
of the highlights of our trip, We
toured the grounds for seven
hours, but it would take at least
three times that much' time to
do justice to such a trip,
Unfortunately, words would not
be enough to describe the sights
that are enjoyed
'through the various "lands" at
Disneyland. A trip on a jungle
cruise through water infested
with alligators, snakes, warring
head-hunters or a bobsled ride
through a miniature replica of
the Matterhorn, a trip on the
first monorail system in North
America or X train ride through
a ghost town and the desert will
thrill both young and old,
Our guide told us that Disney
has stated that Disneyland will
never be finished, so if one
expects to visit the sprawling!
village in the future, it would
likely be necessary to plan atl
least a two-day visit to the,
enchanted spot.
Another interesting visit was
to the set of the Perry Mason
show, Our host, Robert, has
written several of these shows'
and was able to get us in to
see them filming one of the
hour-long shows. We were at'
the studio for nearly three hours,
and in that time they filmed
about four minutes of the show.1
The actors had to rehearse the,
few lines for a minute take
and then the cameras had to be
set up. Then the actors went
through their paces with the
cameras and some of the shots
had to be retaken four times
before they passed sanction by i
the director.
Watch for author
For any persons who are in- I
terested in watching mystery'
shows on TV, it might be in-
teresting to watch for the name
of Robert C. Dennis, who has
written several shows for the
more popular TV series that are
on. CFPL-TV.
The Dennis' live on Mulholland I
Drive in Hollywood, and for
these who watch the Bob Cum-
mings show on Sunday, night,
will recall that that is the street
where he takes all his beautiful
models to "see the lights". Al-
though we couldn't find any
models, we did take a trip to
the top of the street, where you
can see the whole city of Los
Angeles lit up at night.
During our stay at Los An-
a.m. to see the world. series as
it started at 9:00 a.m. in Los
Angeles, due to the four-hour
time difference. ,
On to 'Frisco town
Our trip up the coast was very
exciting as we were about one
mile above the ocean as we
wound our way through the
mountains. Fortunately we were,
on. the inside, but we came to
places 'where the outside of the
road had dropped away into the;
ocean below. A traveller going,
the opposite way would probably'
have some scarey moments as
he came to groups of workmen
who were rebuilding the road,
where it had dropped away.
The only thing that I had ever
seen about San Francisco was
on the TV show "San Francisco
Beat." In that show the police
were always driving up or down
hills, and after reaching the
city, you come to the conclusion
that it could have been on any
street in the city. Some of the
hills appear to be on 75-degree
angles and you say a little

We arrived in Exeter on 'Fri-
day night and are now recuper-
ating from a very enjoyable
trip through 15 states and one
Province, and still found Ontario
the "nicest spot we saw" of the
entire 6,500-mile 'journey,
During our four-day stop here,
we saw several of the top-rate
entertainers and visited most of
the plush hotels along the
"Strip", All these hotels feature
unimaginable luxury, and were
constructed at a cost of at least
four or five million dollars, The
large banquet rooms will hold
up to 700 people, and they are
just a small part' of the struc-
ture.
Some of the entertainers we
saw were: Sammy Davis Jr..
Connie Francis, Dan Dailey, Red
Buttons, Mills Brothers, Ray
Anthony, Billy Williams and the
Folies Bergere.
Las Vegas never closes down.
It goes 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. In, fact, some of
the gambling casinos downtown
don't even appear to have doors
on them. Except for the early
morning hours (we were told
this), the casinos are a hive of
activity as people try to win
their fortunes on slot machines,
dice, black jack, roulette, wheels
of fortune and keno.
Prices range from the, penny
slot machines to the black jack
tables with a maximum bet Of
$500, Adults of all ages and
from every walk of life can be
seen at any time in the gamb-
ling casinos, Women who would
appear to be grandmothers can
be seen sitting on the stools
feeding the slot machines, While
men dressed in fine dress .suits
can be seen at the various other
gambling games.
Any type of dress is suitable
for a tour of the Strip, as you
see women in mink stoles and
evening dresses mingling with
tourists with their slacks or
shorts on.
Each of the gambling halls
has a bevy of beautiful girls
who wait on the needs of the
"paying=' customers. These girls
deliver ' free beverages, sand-
wiches and cigarettes to the
patrons in an effort to keep
them at the tables or the ma-
chines and not have to go else-
where for meals or refresh-
ments. Change girls walk
amongst the players and they
can he summoned to a slot
machine by merely pushing a
button, So, you can see where
there is very little effort at all
while you sit and lose your
money.
See Hollywood shows
We motored to Los Angeles
where we stayed with Mr. and
Mrs, Robert C. Dennis. Mrs.
Dennis is the former Norma
Wilson of town, and they had
several tickets for TV shows and
some helpful suggestions for
sight-seeing around the town.
We visited the large NBC and
CBS studios and saw the live
TV shows: "it Could Be You",
"Truth Or Consequences" and
"The Tennessee Ernie Ford
Show".
