IN MEMORIAM The 75 horsepower Vâ€"8 cylinder engine, with its new aluminum cylin- der heads and rubber mountings, the new doubleâ€"channel, double drop Xâ€" type frame, newly designed head and cowl lamps, bumpers and horn, the new-type spring shackles, skirted fenders, smaller wheels and larger tires appeared to attract ‘fully as much attention as the new bodies with their flowing lines, distinctively mod- ern design and luxurious interior ap- pointments. The new Vâ€"8 car is the fastest and most powerful Ford built since Henry Ford launched into volume produc- tion of motor cars. It is exceedingly flexible in traffic and capable of a sustained speed of 80 miles an hour on the open road. The secret of its power and alertâ€" ness lies in the improved V-8 engine and its new cylinder head design. Because aluminum dissipates heat more rapidly, the all-aluminum cyl- inder head permits unusually high compression pressure which results in increased speed, power and smooth- ness, unusual acceleration and fuel economy. ' The new 1933 Ford car is on display toâ€"day at the show rooms of Little Brothers, local Ford dealers. The new car appears to be the last word! in motor car development, is attrac- tive in design and appearance and has . won the unanimous approval of those. who have enjoyed a demonstration of 1 its mechanical performance. NEW FORD ON DISPLAY The cylinder heads have combus- tion chambers of improved design and are fitted with new 18 millimeter spark plugs with high heat resistance qualities. The high heat conductivity of the head material also obviates the tendency toward detonation or knock- ing, eliminates “hot spots,” and re- duces carbon deposit. A 20-pound saving in weight is effected by the use of the new heads. Through achievement of Ford engineers, the two cylinder bbcks and crankcase are cast in a single piece, the cylinder blocks being set at an angle of 90 degrees. This design pro- vides an exceptionally compact power plant. Basically the engine is sim- ilar in design to the first Ford V-8 cnfz’ine introduced in 1932, of which 300.000 or more are now in service. The new frame is also one of the unusual features of the car. It con- sists of four full length channel mem- bers, the two members which form the X-brace being continued inside and to the ends 'of the main channels, thus providing a structure of great rigidity. Where the X-channels are brought together they are joined by a semi-circular cross member on which the rear end of the power plant rests in a circular rubber mounting. The wheels are 17 inches in diam- eter and of the Ford welded steel spoke type. Tires are of 5.50 inches section. The frame is cushioned by transverse cantilever springs and four double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers which are adjusted both automatically and thermostatically for every variation in weather or road surface condition.

Yonge St., to say nothing of certain side streets, is at present in a disgraceful and dangerous condition, and has been that Way practically all Winter. There are many citizens in Rich- mond Hill whose properties, large and small alike, would be a credit to any community, but there are others whose laziness and lack of public spirit makes Yonge St. one of the sloppiest and downâ€"at-heels main sts, in Canada. Surely there is some way in which decent public opinion can effect a change. One man in business is reported to have said in regard to his slush- laden sidewalk: “Theman who put the snow there can take it away.” If I am not mistaken, a little _while ago in one of your interesting and public spirited editorials you com- mented on the village’s difficulty in finding work for its unemployed. May I suggest that they might very profitably be engaged to clean the sidewalks of citizens who themselves fail to perform that duty. I know of one bad accident which happened in our business section as a result of the icy condition of pave- ment where snow had been allowed to lie till it melted. That accident did not result in a suit for damages, as might well have happened. But some day, if conditions are not chang- ed, the village will face a heavy bill for damages, and a little more will be added to our tax-rate. The Editor Richmond Hill “Liberal In times like these, very few peo- ple can do as much painting and re- pairs as they would like, but we can all keep our sidewalks clean and our premises neat. Some of the smallest houses in Richmond Hill, with their trim surroundings, are a pleasure for the eye. There are, too, streets like Arnold Street, where practically every house- holder has enough civic pride to keep the sidewalks cleaned. Why can't we all do it? In conclusion, I may say that or occasions when there was not a mat. to do it, I have myself cleaned a long stretch of pavementâ€"not because I liked doing itâ€"but because I thought that passerst who had to be out in a storm deserved some conside'W‘e". More than that, there have been a few occasions when I have cleaned a sidewalk for somebody who had neither the strength to do it, nor the means to pay for having it done. I mention these facts because if I did not refer to them some non- shoveller would deaden his conscience with the comment: “Aw! Applesauce! that letter is written by somebody who never has to touch a shovel!” Maple, Ontario -- Telephone 232 Fire, Life, Casualty, Plate Glass, etc Motor Cars 8 Specialty Letters From The Peopie INSURANCE Richmond Hill C.
