Mother roused the child- ren early, "First day of school!' she announced, Sweet Sue, who ordinarily is as pleasant as a shower of blossoms, came downstairs looking like a left- over from Hallowe'en, and sounding like a rocket about to be launched from Cape Ken- nedy! Eventually, she wasrea- dy to leave for the school bus, but only after she had polished her Go-Go boots, shortened her mini-skirt, and ironed her hair! At exactly five minutes be- fore the bus arrived, long lanky George lumbered down the steps. Poor George seems to have had a rough summer. He is one of those who has trouble with his back; he can't get it off the bed! But with the beginning of school, this will have to change! Then came, last bur not least, Junior. Mother decked him out in his new shirt, smart bow-tie, and impeccable trous- ers. She combed his hair and slapped on just the right amount of hair cream! She smiled through her tears as she waved goodbye to him, then turned to her work with a quiet sigh ofre- lief. One last look -- Junior was -- Oh No! -- Junior was playing in the giant tnud puddles that had lined the road after the rain! Mothers have nerves of steel, though, and our Belmore moth- ers are no exception. Only the mice saw her sitting at the ta- ble, sobbing uncontrollably! HOW MUCH LUXURY IS ECONOMICAL? Keith McClure In our changing times, more than you think, At any rate, more than company fleet managers used to think after figuring the Whole thing out on their computers. The stripped-down company austerity model with 6 cylinders and no "pizazz" is gradually being replace with middle and toptine V-8 models, How come? For economical reasons. The tastes of used car buyers reflecting our wealthy economy has created a premium market for the luxury model used car. 'This is largely offsetting the cost to the original owner. A survey of 82 companies buying and leasing fleets of cars, shows butter than half arc replacing the typical com- pany "tin can" with higher priced models. Automatic trans- missions arc standard and power optionals commonplace. The fleet managers said that bigger V-8 motors enabled them to keep cars on the road longer with less maintenance. There is a lesson in this for many private Wingham own- ers who purchase a 6 cylinder with economy in mind when they do a lot of highway driving, There is just no economy in gas or maintenance in driving a six cylinder car at high speeds on the highway. Decide what you want. Reminds me of the movie starlet who confronted her manager on her budding career: "Do I buy a sweater too small and become a star or one too large and become a folk singer."

Japanese Carbecue Week-end suburban back- yard cooks may be slightly miff- ed by a Japanese company tak- ing the word "barbecue" and adapting it to a process for burning old cars into scrap in ten minutes, The Tezuka Kosan K.K., a metal press manufacturing company in Tokyo, calls the process " carbecue" and says it comes from the method of roasting meat. Rows of rusting cars in va- cant lots were becoming com- mon because of the time, ef- fort and cost required in strip- ping down the cars and extract- ing the metal in a high temp- erature oven. To carbecue a vehicle: 1, Remove all four tires and pull out the engine. 2. Place vehicle on a con- veyor moving into preheated oven. 3. When paint and uphol- stery are reduced to ashes, re- move body and place in fire- resisting brick chamber. 4. Increase heat from 200 to 1,000 degrees centigrade, re- moving non-ferrous metals such as lead, aluminum and copper as they melt. 5. Place remaining metal in a press, squeeze tight. Cooling time: 10 minutes. This process will give you a piece of scrap measuring about three feet square. It may be used for making steel of high purity. ids Elimi Squ nate Owen Sound Team The Wingham Squirts elim- inated the Owen Sound team in two straight games in their race for the OASA title, The second game of thebest, of-three series was played in Owen Sound on Wednesday night of last week when the Wingham lads whaled their hosts 9-3, The Owen Sound team led the at- tack 3-2 at the end of the first three innings.
