_ By Bud Sturgeon
You know, September is a very active month.
Summer ends and autumn begins, and a lot of
people go out to buy new cars.
Yes, every September, thousands of
prospective `car buyers' trod many miles on lots
and through show rooms, up and down countless
rows of shiny paint jobs and chrome bumpers.
Why September? Well September is the month
when the big autq, makers unveil their new
models. There is method in the madness. The
customer, `looks in September', and 'buys in
October', and then drives it over the salty roads
all winter long, and by March, it looks like a heap
of rust, just in time for the 'spring sales'.
Amidst all the controversy of foreign car
makers stealing the market, this looks like
another banner year for the domestic com-
panies. "Support the economy and buy
Canadian!" is the big slogan again. •
At the utterance of these six words, the con-
sumer is expected to develop a' guilt complex
about buying a foreign car. Now mind you, I can
think of one domestic automaker that didn't feel
too guilty about accepting millions of dollars.
from the Canadian taxpayers to enable them to
continue making their overpriced and un-
saleable products. Zounds! Why don't they buy
lottery tickets like the rest of us if they want to
get rich fast?
However, back to the business at hand, buying
a new car. This year the market is flooded with
alphabet cars, as Ford, OM and Chrysler are
trying to enter the lucrative small car business
with K -Cars, and J -Cars and who knows what
else.
These new economy cars .are- supposed to be
very competitive. Basically this is true. Our
domestic technicians thought of everything from
mileage ratings to performance to styling, but
forgot all about the price tag. It is a very sad
commentary when an automobile can be built in
a foreign country and be shipped halfway around
the world and still sell several thousand dollars
less than the `competitive' cars built and sold
right here in Ontario.
In fact, I could never understand why a car
that is built in Ontario and then shipped across
the border to the USA, sells for several thousand
less over there than right at home where it was
made. It must be that new math or our new
metric system where one plus one doesn't equal
two anymore!
Maybe you don't want to buy a new car af-
terall. How about one of `this years' clearance
models, or a used car? Regardless, once you
drive it off the lot, it depreciates a thousand
dollars, not to mention the fact your bank ac-
count also depreciates tenfold moments before.
Have you ever driven your 'old car' onto a lot
with trade in mind? The salesman looks at it with
a horrified expression, as if it were some kind of
contagious disease. Almot afraid to touch it,
after . a quick conference with the head
mechanic, he decides to take it off your hands
and quarantine, it, but he just can't offer too
much. "Won't be able to resell a junker like
that".
Erk! Then try and buy a used car. You'd think
everyone on the lot was lined with gold and
personally blessed by the Pope to hear the dealer
talk.
Well, not many are going to pedal a bicycle all
winter, so you have to 'groan and bear it'.
It's all nothing if you can turn a fe ($) heads
when you roll into town behind the Wheel of the
beauty. (It'll be paid off in a few years).
Happy motoring!

Lif e in Peru explained
by Janet Talbot
The Lord's rich
blessings were felt in the
little Baptist Church in
Bayfield Sunday, as His
servants in foreign
mission work told of their
joys 'and fruitfulness in
their fields.
Miss Grace Forgrave,
a native of Michigan,
home on' furlough from
Peru, spoke to the
childrenin the Tunior
Sunday School. They
listened attentively as
she,told how the girls and
boys in Peru, have to
learn to work at a very
young age. She explained
how they learn about God
and about Jesus' love and
miracles through the
contact of the
Missionaries, through the
daily Vacation Bible
Schools and the Sunday
Schools.
These children then
bring other children and
their parents •to learn
about Jesus and to accept
Him .as their . Saviour.
They are all so eager to
learn and love to work for
Him. She told how their
homes, living 'and diet
differs from ours, they
peat a great deal of beans,
rice and green bananas,
these are not sweet like
the ripe bananas that we
like but are bland more
like potatoes and they are
roasted or fried. They
consider certain worms
and large ants fried a
really great delicacy and
a treat.
Miss Forgrave, who
worked, with Pastor and
Mrs. Shiel in Peru a few
years ago has worked
among the Quechwa
Indian tribes for 22 years.
In the evening service she
showed slides of the
people, how they • live,
how they build their
'houses and churches,
using the large banana
leaves to make the
thatched roofs.
In the morning and
evening services, Mr.
Elmer Austring, director
of the -Regions Beyond
Missionary Union in
Toronto., gave inspiring
messages covering some
of the work of this
widespread mission. He
told how it all started
over 100 years ago, in-
spired by one man's
vision of serving Chid by
training others for work
in foreign mission fields.
These missionaries often
face trials and dangers
and are often greatly
persecuted, but through
God's grace and the
prayers of His people
here at home many are
brought to know the
Saviour.
He reminded everyone
of Jesus' words. just
before His ascension into
Heaven as recorded in
the 28th chapter of
Matthew "Go ye into all
the world and preach the
gospel to every
creature," and.that this is
meant just as much to us
today as it was to "the
disciples then.
He challenged all
present with: Are each
one of you doing your
'part? What will He find
us doing when He returns
to _earth? HE IS coming
again, and soon. Will I be
ready? Will you?
