A trip in
the Old Chev
lisaissossamigall
Bill Smiley ve
Driving down the highway
last Sunday night, I found
myself cursing with a fine,
taut vehemence that sound-
ed vaguely familiar..
The object of my affection
was an approaching driver
who refused to dim his lights,
and I nearly went into the
ditch in a combination of
blindness and rage.
When I had cooled down I
tried to remember where I'd
heard those particular
phrases before, in just that
tone. Then I knew - my Dad
had used them, in identical
tones and an identical situa-
tion, about 55 years before. .
Except that he HAD gone in
the ditch.
I guess my father, and I
say it with pride, was the
worst driver that ever came
over a hill right smack in the
centre of the road. He wasn't
reckless, careless or a show-
off . He was just an incredibly
bad driver,
Of course he was about 40
when he bought his first car.
I "believe it was a 1923 Chev.
He was the steadiest man
alive, but every so often he'd
do something on the spur of
the moment. That's the way
he got the car. Plunked down
the cash, took a driving les-
son, which consisted of twice
around the block, and drove
it home. He tore in the gate
at full bore, completely for-
got how to stop, and went
right through the back of the
barn.
I'll never forget the annual
trip to the cottage in the "Old
Chev" as it is still fondly
known in the family. It was
about 85 miles, and an all -
day journey in those days.
My Dad would be up bright
and early and would lash all
the heavy luggage to the
bumpers, roof and running -
boards. As soon as breakfast
• was over, he'd go out, walk
around the . Old Chev, give
the tires a kick and climb in.
There he'd sit and honk the
horn -angrily, while my
mother ran around the house
like a demented person;
grabbing up babies, lunches,
jars of preserves and all
manner of things.
Then, with us kids piled in
the back, on top of the bed-
ding, we were off, with a
great grinding of gears and
lurching until we got on the
open road. After ten miles or
so, my mother would be al-
most relaxed, when Dad
hadn't hit any loose gravel
and had managed to avoid
several cars coming from
the opposite direction.
But then we'd come to a
detour. In those day!;; the de-
tours weren't the simple
swing -outs we have now, on a
highway construction job.
They were sheer tests of
nerve and skill, with wobbley
Wooden bridges, cliffs of
crushed rock, holes you
could lose a hippo in and
murderous bits of bog.
The next five minutes were
sheer terror. We kids clut-
ched each other in the back
seat, all eyes and white as
paper. My mother clasped
the baby close to her breast,
dropped her head and moved
her lips 'rapidly. My Dad
glared forociously at the
hazards, ground his teeth
and pressed through, hitting
the holes with a bone -jarring

drop, skidding perilously
near the edge of al minor pre-
cipice, and confounding the
blasted idiots who had creat-
ed the detour.
Limp and sweating, we
were always glad of the flat
tire that inevitably followed
the detour. We'd pile out, hop
the fence and dash about like
animals let out of a cage. My
mother would head thank-
fully for the shade of a tree
and change the babe's
diaper, while Dad changed
the tire, with appropriate in-
cantations.
Next major panic was get-
ting the Old Chev onto the
ferry. We had to cross the
Ottawa River, and it was a
great thrill each year. But
watching Dad trying to get
that car onto the ferry was
enough to mark a child for
life. Year after year, when
he saw my father drive up,
the ferry captain would roll
his eyes and run for help.
He'd enlist the engineer, the
wheelsman, and every inno-
cent by-stander, warn them,
and arm them all with large
chocks for throwing before
and behind the wheels.
Eventually, Dad would get
the Old Chev wedged across
the ferry so that nobody else
could get on or off. The skip-
per would throw up his arms,
shrug eloquently to the rest
of the waiting cars and cast
off. Dad would sit trium-
phantly in the car, ready to
scare everybody out of
another year's growth when
we got to the other side of the
river.
There was only one other
obstacle that really put us
through the wringer, and
that was The Big Hill, a few
miles before .we reached the
lake. We'd go down a long,
steep hill and right back up
another one, longer and
steeper. Each year we
prayed we'd make it. Each
year we all-threr., -body
English into the halting
climb. And each year, Dad
would forget to change- into
low soon enough, and stall
about 20 feet from the top.
Then there was the dreaded
ordeal of backing down for
another run, and the final
ignominy of going and fetch-
ing the farmer with his team,
after three futile and fearful
attempts.
Nowadays, when 1 see a
movie about teenage hot -rod
drivers, playing "chicken"
and taking supposedly awe-
inspiring chances, .I just
sneer. One trip to the cottage
in the Old Chev with my Dad,
and those punks would never
have the nerve to climb into
an automobile again.

Regulus lies almost on the ecliptic.
which is the apparent annual path of
the sun in the heavens. The ecliptic
runs centrally through the 16 wide
band on the celestial sphere known
as the zodiac. At all times, this band
contains not only the sun but also the
moon and the principal planets with
the exception of Venus and Pluto For
this reason it is not uncommon to see
the Moon or planets very close to
