,VOL. 87, N O Charlie Dickens was undoubtedly one awfully nice fellow. He proved that when he wrote what must be his most successful work “A (‘hristmas Carol". But don’t you honestly wish that someone else had grabbed onto a Christmas story idea as well as Charlie? ' Everybody took a swing at the immortal plot this year on just about every TV station on the continent. We were treated to a short Ebenezer Scrooge, a tall thin one, a dour one and even one who looked like everyone's favorite uncle. Some of them mumbled their lines while others came through loud and clear. In one version. old Ebenezer even SANG his way through the part. Even C. Dickens could never have foreseen that one! One or two alleged comedians got carried away by the Christmas bit and gave the story a bit of a fling. It got so bad that we would have willingly forsaken it all for a couple of chapters of Peyton Place or a session with the Munsters! Just too darn much Christmas carollingâ€"that’s all! But that's all behind us for another year and how we can get on with that grand old post-Christ- mas game of changing gifts for something we really wantâ€"or something that even fits! The crowds in some of the lesser department stores on Saturday morning were strong evidence that the rush was already on. Now all we have to do is to survive through the New Year celebrations and we’ve got it made. A timely article in a Bell Telephone Company publication gives much food for thought, especially so considering the weird and soggy weather we have been experiencing of late. The article deals with that unexpected foe of the happy motoristâ€"skidding. This article reveals that recent experiments indicate that on rain-wet roads your car acts much like a boat. With about a fifth of an inch of rain on the road, the front tires of the car actually come off the road and planeâ€"just like a boat-on top of the water. With low pressure tires and a speed of about fifty miles per hour, your car now qualifies to be registered as a hydroplane! To overcome this planing tendency, the air pressure of the tires should be increased and then they are capable of biting down through the water and regaining the vital contact with the road surface. It is also suggested that you can follow tracks made through the rain by heavy trucks. Tailgating the truck is not necessary as the tracks are effective for several hundred feet behind the truck. If the rain should continue during the holiday season. please try to remember that your vehicle is part boat. Drive it accordingly, with plenty of respect. and be around to welcome in 1965 in good health and with nerves unshattered by an unexpected skid. Even the manufacturers of boats and outboard motors are getting into the act. lf‘a car can act like a boatâ€"why not make a product that works some- thing like a car? Two of the oldest and most rep- utable manufacturers of outboard motor and boat equipment are now marketing products designed for land transportation. Snow cruisers are becoming big business. A snow cruiser is a small vehicle carrying. as a rule. two people at speeds of up to thirty miles an hour over snow. They are p0wered by a four- teen horsepower. two-cycle engine. steered by two skis on the. front and are propelled by a rubber belt with steel cleats attached. Besides just plain zooming along over the snow, they can be employed to pull one or two skiers. Like the sports car crowd, the cruiser enthusiasts are holding rallies, hill climbs, races, exploring trips and a whole host of fancy new events. The price tag is fairly high, runningr somewhere close to the thousand dollar neighborhood. And. right after Christmas. that is a pretty dogâ€"goned exclusive neighborhood!

Big Fat Bunnies Abound In Area This little game animal, prolific in most areas in south- ern Ontario, can be routed from fence rows, brush piles and wasteland where limited cover and feed are available. Although using burrows for homes, the cottontail prefers a nest above ground where it can obserVe the activities of its neighbors, except in inclement weather when it prefers a sheltered den. Never travelling any great distance from its birthplace the cottontail is generally within easy range of several hideouts; bolting from concealment when disturbed, he is a challenge to the hunter with his dodging speed. chmond Goals Assists . 11 15 , 7 15 . 11 10 . 10 10 Lanes Mills, 9.30 Richmond adford For Agst.
