Purchasing
When considering the purchase
of a used car or truck, there are
about 20 points the average cus-
tomer can check for himself be-
fore turning to his garage opera-
tor for further counsel and ad-
vice.
Care should be taken respect-
ing the use or uses to which this
vehicle will be put. Its size, body
type, seating capacity, and cost
should be taken into considera-
tion before the purchase.
A large passenger car or sta-
tion gon, has more room for
baggage and camping equip-
ment, and normally enjoys heavy
duty suspension, larger tires, and
wheel bearings, which can
Support larger, heavier loads in
safety. Remember, an over-
loaded vehicle can be very
dangerous on the road.
• First and often most important
is the condition of the motor ve-
hicle's body. The customer
should make a thorough check of
the body surface to see if it has
a Used Car
been seriously attacked by rust
or corrosion. Radiators, front and
rear suspensions, and even en-
gines, can all be replaced or re-
paired if necessary. Once the
body of a motor vehicle has
corroded beyond a certain point,
most modern cars and trucks are
good only for scrap.
The problem is acute for two
reasons; salt is being used in
greater quantities today to keep
icy roads clear and useable
throughout the winter; and, an
increasing_ use of "integral" or
"unitary" construction. "Unita'
construction means that the body
and underfraine together provide
strength and rigidity (instead of
just the frame, in a chassis -built
car) . So that if the body is badly
rusted the jwhole structure is
seriously weakened.
Even more important than the
rust which you can see is the
corrosion which you cannot see.
,, This is where the vehicle requires
the use of a hoist, and -an expert
eYe to study the underside for
serious corrosion.
In Ontario,. if a chassis frame

rivets, if the floor pan is per-
forated by rust or other -damage,
if seat belt anchorage is insecure,
then the vehicle must be rejected.
Your mechanic or garage
operator will be' pleased to in-
spect the underside of your
prospective purchase, and will if
the bottom is undercoated or
corroded poke the loose scale
with a screw driver to detOrmine
its inner condition. Vehicles in
bad shape are sometimes
masked with newly applied un-
dercoating which acting as a
moisture barrier traps corrosion
on the inside creating a danger-
ous situation. Badly rusted cars
or trucks should be rejected.
Twenty yeaFs ago, only 19 per
cent of people with cancer of the
larynx survived for five years;
today the figure is 44 per cent,
thanks to advances in detection
and treatment. Your contribution
to the Canadian Cancer Society
will make possible rnore progress
in its fight against one pi man-
kind's most stubborn diseases.
SCHOOL HISTORY was made as F.E.M. Grade 13 physics students launched a model
rocket under the guidance of Mr. Woods, right. Greg Blake, Jim Oldfield, Ron McKague
and Russel Moncrief set up the project which was an overwhelming success: —FEM

AN IMPORTANT STEP for school administration was made last week as students' sub-
ject scores were compiled on computer cards.. The task was undertaken by Mr. Gavretuk
and data processing students. Cards will be used to sort students into classes and courses.

Says corn pr�ducirs suffer while distilleries
Distilleries are receiving an in-
crease in profits equtyalent
for every bushel of corn they use,
while Ontario corn growers are
receiving less than their cost of
production.
The recent increase in the price
of spirits announced in the pro-
vincial budget by the Hon. Darcy
McKeough is turning out to be a
windfall for Canadian distilleries.
This price increase will raise
eight million dollars for the pro-
vincial government, 9.7 millions
dollars for the federal govern-
ment and six million dollars for
the distilling industry.
• Blake Sanford, co-ordinator for
Region 3 (Ontario) of the Nation-
al Farmiersa Union, 'said last
week at.a meeting of Local 340. at
Harriston, that this six million
dollars in profit will be heaped on
top of the profits already enjoyed
by the di tilleries, while corn pro-
ducers are forced to sell corn be-,
low their cost of production. For-
ty per cent of the increase is
going to the distilleries or ap-
proximately 10 cents per bottle
(26 ozs. ). Estimating that the
distilleries extract 30 bottles of
liquor from a bushel of corn, this
represents an increase to the dis-
tillery of $3 (over and above pre-
vious profits). far every bushel of
corn used, or $240 per asre of corn
yielding 80 bushels per acre. The
coil) grower at present' is receiv-
ing gross returns, of- $1.10, per
bushel or $88 for ithe same 80
bushels of corn.
Mr. Sanford said that similar
increases in returns were also
granted to the breweries and
wine manufacturers. Many peo-
ple in Ontario were of the opinion
when price changes were an-
nounced for alcoholic beverages
in the Ontario budget that the in-
creases were all taxes but are
now finding out that the booze in-
dustry is also increasing already
substantial profits with govern-
ment approval and assistance.
"Industrial giants like Sea -
grams, whd last year had a profit
of 66 million and Walkers who
showed -a profit of 48 million will -
be able to increase their profits in
spite of inflation, while corn
growers and farmers in general
will face bankruptcy as inflation
takes over.
"The projected realized net in-
come for Ontario farmers in 1972
will be at 'its lowest level in the
last ten years. As a farmer I am
not asking the government to
camouflage any price increases
that Imay receive, but only ask
for government policies that will
guarantee the survival of the
family farm as the. main source
of food production in our coun-
try," Mr. Sanford said.
TIM CANCER CONUNDRUM
RU?.
Cancer is found in all countries
and In all peoples, but there are
puzzling -differences - in. the Inci-
dence, JaLian,,for anjple„
more stomach cancer and less
breast cancer than Canada.
French-speaking men of Quebec
Province • have twice as much
cancer of the colon but only a
third as much skin cancer as
English-speaking Canadians. Us-
ing such facts to discover the
causes of cancer and ways to de-
feat them is one role of research,
made possible by your contribu-
tion to the Canadian Cancer So-
ciety.
We often wish that we could
find something that tasted as
good as the nickel ice cream*
sodas we bought fifty years ago.
