That’s why every Rambler has these 10 winter driving featuresâ€"many of them industry exclusives. An Alternator charges your battery even when your engine is idling. A gen- erator doesn’t. That’s why an Alternator is standard on a Rambler; that’s why the elec- trical system won’t drain your battery dead. Rambler’s famous self-adjusting, Double-Safety Brakes have two sets of hydraulic lines (one to the front brakes, one to the rear). Iftough driving conditions cause one set to go, the other continues to operate.

This was the surplus in the club's Easter seal account after tak- ing care of medical and treat- ment needs of crippled children in this area. In acknowledging receipt of1 the money, J. R. Sarney, super-1 visor of the Easter seal cam- paign for the society wrote, in part, “Please express our thanks to all members of the club for making these funds available so that some other club can be given financial assistance for their work with crippled chil- dren when they have too many cases to be able to handle loc- ally." The society has over 16,000 children in the province under constant care. The Thornhill Lions were very pleased that their recent light bulb sale received such generous support from the community. Proceeds from the sale will finance the Lions Christmas party and gifts for needy chil- dren to the extent of $250, pro- vide Christmas hampers for needy families to the value of approximately $485 and give financial assistance for the sen- Ior citizens’ bus tour to view Christmas lights.

Six times into rustproof- ing solutions then up to the roofline in primer paint. It’s the only sure way to protect every nook and cranny. Most people are unaware that there is a very modest figure who plays a large part in the upkeep of this landmark. Tom Stothers. 298 Centre Street, retired from a banking career, spends many hours protecting the wild life who make the pond their home. As well, he tends the 200 foot terrace on the west side of the pond and through loud speakers he had erected, supplies music from his own hi-fi set for skaters in the winter months. _.._-\~/L a In the summer months, school‘g‘ children can be seen collecting a; butterflies and specimens for% science projects at this well- " known spot. Scouts and Cubs find the pond an ideal place N... to pass their badge tests forfi identification of birds and “" shrubs. In sunny months, bird r.'. watchers seek out the hundreds of birds that nest there every year. j the children This past year, bird watchers‘ Were able to observe more birds than ever before. Eleven flocks of ducks spent the sum- mer on the pond and were fed by Mr. Stothers and other in- terested neighbors. At present, eight muskrats have built their winter homes there and can be seen from the banks. The people of Thornhill are fortunate to have such a pub- lic-spirited citizen in their midst as Mr. Stothers. He is to be commended for helping to protect Thornhill's naturalists’ paradise.
