Belmore Personal Notes
Visiting in the community
was held to a minimum last
week when in some cases it
was next to impossible to plow
through the snow on your front
doorstep. Even the groundhog
chickened out when he poked
his nose through the fleecy stuff
on his special day, and most of
us agree that spring can't come
quickly enough! There is a
bright side to everything though,
as our school students will ad-
tnit. Buses from Wingham Dis-
trict High School failed to
make their run into the village
an Thursday, and on Friday,
school in the local hall of learn
ing was cancelled after the
teacher, Mrs. Watson Arm-
strong of Teeswater, got hog-
ged down in a snowdrift!
Friends of Mr, Henry Johann
are pleased that he is now able
to be walking about after a
serious illness, We hope his
condition continues to improve.

Multi -stop city driving calls for CHEVROLET
.
IMO
• ' "'' Says W. M. Browne, Toronto Caretakers,
Toronto, Ontario. "We have used panel
trucks of various makes for the past 15 years.
Nine months ago we put six Chevy -Vans into
service and, from our experience with these,
we have purchased six more.
"Accurate comparative analysis of our vehicle operation
proves Chevy -Vans to be most economical. The six -cylinder
engine is really lively with plenty of power. Gas mileage is
very good and has given us a substantial saving per unit.
•
"Manoeuvrability in city traffic is excellent, resulting in
reduced time between calls. Mechanically, Chevy -Vans have
proved to be first-class—we have had no failures.
"In summary, I would say that Chevy -Vans are far superior
to any units we have previously operated."
Every operation can profit from
Chevrolet Workpower—including
yours! See your Chevrolet Truck
