We had a refreshingly differ-
ent New Y'ear's�'Eve' this, Year:
Went o`'s skating the .
t n
Wen a .k g party on
bay.' We even took skates: But,
fortunately, • we had to make a
couple of calls before we got
there, and when, we did, the
skaters were , pooped" `I ex.'
pressed , great indignation be-
fore allowing someone to. set,,
me down before the fireplace
with a' small potion of herb tea.
But it was a great party. Just
as we arrived, a ;;pretty ,young
woman hustled in from outside,
clutching her pants and various
other things. She'd been out on
a Skidoo on,the ice, and they'd
gone through. She was quite
annoyed. -Lit- time ,i:'d seen
her, she was eight months pre'g-
nant.'This time she was almost
in shock. She said she'd like to
meet me under normal circum-
stances. . -
Anothezr feature of the party
appealed to me. Instead of the
usual maudlin rendition of
Auld Lang Syne, followed by a'
round of sloppy kisses, we" �a11'
stood to 'attention and, sang a
Maudlin version of 0 Canada.

So what else is new?
Well, it should be just as ob-
vious as .that: Everyone has the.
right to as much automobile as
. his hard-earned money can buy.
If price was • the only thing
that varied - and not value - it
would be simple to say which car
was the best buy: It would be the -
one with the lowest price.
But value in an automobile is
• many things. If it is a new .car
it must _be fu11y_prepared "for
delivery by experts. If a, dealer
skips this expense (mid saves
.himself about $70) you'd 'pro
bably never know •the difference•
until after the sale when the car's

} If it -is ,a.: used car, it should
be serviced to give its newowner
reasonably. trouble -freer per=
for mance. Not doctored up to look"
good until after the sale is closed.
If promises were a part of
the value bargained for in the
price, and they are not kept, •
"then that means of course `that
the price Was higher than it,
seemed to be, perhaps much
_higher.
Good service and fair treat -

But if your.. mind i`s` too intent
