Now you can buy what we modestly believe is the best little car in the worldf Idoesevorylhingwoll. Everything? Everything. Vega moves Well, stops well, steers well, rides well, handles well, responds well, passes well, merges well, travels well, parks well, sits well, wears well, and is priced Well under what you'd expect to pay for such q. totally talented ca_r. h In highde tests, Vega. has been getting around 30 miles to the gallon. Yet unlike your average little car, ou£_s steps ri_ght_out when you step 0}} the gas. The standard engine is a specially designed 140 cubic inch overhead cam four with a lightweight aluminum alloy block. You can order the optional. engine which has a 2-barre1 carburetor and delivers 20 extra horsepower. The brakes are something too. Discs are standard in the front, new-type drums in the rear. The wheelbase is 97 inches. Width: nearly 5 V2 â€"- WE DELIVER ~â€" By David Bull The school is in its second year and the food short order really got going along with food quantity cooking. The main course for the first day was Hungarian Goulash and Mexican Vegetables. CROSS COUNTRY There will be a cross country meet in the near future. Three groups will be entered in the event: junior boys, senior boys and girls. The top 20 in each group will compete at Bruce‘s Mill later in the month. There will also be a cookout and races. in the second year are practis- ing interior decorating and furniture upholstering. THE FIRST DAY’S MENU Tuesday. September 22 at Camp Richildaca, a swim meet was held. It consisted of four strokes: freestyle. backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly. There was also an assortment of rac- es, relays, novelty events. SOCCER There will probably be tw0 teams in soccer this year. Further announcements will be made later. ACTIVITY PERIOD This year an activity period has been instituted at the end of the school day. Activity period is a good idea because if you have some work to finish up, then you have the time. It is a good time for projects. If there is a student council meet- ing, then we can all go to lis- ten. . The following wide selection of options are being offered this year: outdoor education, art, acting, music appreciation, yearbook, publishing and ad- vertising, motorcycle driver ed- ucation, audio visual aids, fashion and grooming, photo- graphy, typing. SWIM MEET OPTIONS Caribou are different from other deer in that 80% of cari- bou females bear antlers. Bulls shed their antlers by the end of October, while cows keep their antlers later, often into May or June of the following year. The first fall meeting of the Richmond Hill Naturalists Club featured a talk on "The Wood- land Caribou." Speaking to a capacity audience in the Rich- mond Hill Public Library on September 18, Don Simkin. supervisor of game management for the Department of Lands and Forests, illustrated his talk with many unusual slides of the caribou in the lowland Hudson' Bay Region. Mr. Simkin, a biologist. tra- yelled extensiyely _in_ Northern The Department of Lands and Forests flew 28,000 miles on a grid pattern to record the woodland caribou population, and estimate there are 15,000 in the province â€" 10.000 of them in the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Hunting has reduced woodland caribou only in local areas. There have been no open sea- sons since 1929, but the Indians of the area are allowed to hunt caribou. They kill 300 to 500 a year, which doesn't endanger the population. Mr. Simkin, a biologist. tra- velled extensively in Northern Ontario in his study of the woodland caribou. He stated the barren ground caribou of the Northwest Territories is a con- siderably smaller animal with circular rather than flattened antlers. and the antlers are tal- ler than on the woodland cari- bou. The average life span of cari- bou is six to seVen years, but Mr. Simkin had seen some that were estimated to be 17 years old. These had their teeth al- most entirely worn down. A large bull caribou weighs about 500 pounds. Caribou have very large feet, the hoofs being 5 to 6 inches across and of great use for tra- velling on snow or muskeg. They are truly animals of old. undisturbed North America and their main foods are lichens which often take 50 to 60 years to grow. Woodland caribou used to oc- cur as far south as Manitoulin Island but haven’t been seen there since the late 1800’s. Changes in the forest due to cutting or burning have caused the old lichens to great- ly decrease. Moose and white- tail deer, being browers, on young forest. have invaded and increased. The Hudson Bay Lowlands are the main range of caribou now. nice, stable feet. Weight: 2,190 lbs. for the standarcl.‘ sedan. Engine displacement: 140 cubic inches; horse- power: 90 SAE gross, 80 SAE net. Seating Capacity: ‘our adults. Turning circle: 33 feet, curb to curb. What it all adds up to is a lot of little car. Thumandatmdt. Vega turned out so well that we couldn't turn. out just one. So we made tour: a sporty little hatch- back coupe shown opén and closed in the foreground below; the sedan, on the right; the Kammback wagon,‘ on the left; and the little panel express truck, in. the rear. BOB Seplanber 28th isOpening Day All Chevrolet dealers across Canada are handling the Vega, so you shouldn't have to go very far to find out more about it. Chevy's new little car is open for business. Look into it. You have a choice of 10 outside and 5 inside colors plus a pretty fair selection of available options. ADAMS Ward 1 - Markham COUNCILLOR Woodland Caribou Inhabit Hudson Bay Lowlands The lichens they eat are mainly caribou moss, which grows on the ground, and tree lichens such as "Old Man‘s Beard.” Caribou do not eat many plants when they first grow in the spring, and browse in the summer on sedges, wil- IOWS and other trees. Lichens are their most important food in winter and are the key to their survival. Fire is their worst since it eliminates the for 50 to 60 years. In answers to questions after his talk, Mr. Simkin stated the woodland caribou population appears to be in good condition. He suggested that to maintain them in perpetuity throughout their present range some areas of old forest. growing lichens, should be left uncut. WANT EXTRA INCOME? A temporary job my be the answer. Read the Help Wanted Columns in "The Liberal” every week for job opportunities througout York County. The meeting opened with a 10 minute talk on three trees of the far north -â€" black spruce, trembling aspen and white birch, presented by club mem- ber. John Griffiths. The members endorsed a res- olution from the Kitchener- Waterloo Naturalists Club seek- ing to preserve the Elora Gorge from encroachment by flooding and highway building, The many books on natural science donated by the club to the library were on display and a letter of thanks was read from Chief Librarian Mrs. Patricia Hart. The next meeting of the club will be October 16 at the library at 8 pm. Don Baldwin, noted ornithologist will give an illus- trated talk on “Birds of British Honduras”. The meeting is open to the public.

I There was a time when “high school play“ meant an evening of boredom and embarrassment for loyal supporters of the students. but two high school drama groups which can guarantee a high standard and competent productions are the Rich- mond Hill High School Drama Club, and the Bay- view Secondary School Theatre Arts students. (Continued from Page 2) choice of musical for production in the coming year. The Thornhill Theatre is anxious to attract new members, and though now affiliated with the North Thornhill Recreation Association, there is still the constant need for increased financial support in order to stage a costly musical production. Jean Weiland, (225-5815) will be pleased to hear from anyone interested in joining the group. Roy Clifton is conducting the Richmond Hill High School drama course during evening hours this year, and the group meets from 7 - 9 pm every Tuesday and Thursday. He has enlisted the help of grade 12 and 13 students with previous experience in theatre arts to assist in instructing the junior members. His instructors are Jodie Loftus, Elizaâ€" beth Bone, David Smith and Adrian Truss. Jim Clark, who played the title role in "Oedipus Rex” in 1969 at the school, and who has spent a year as a student at the National Theatre School, is also assist- ing Mr. Clifton. Barry Pearson, head of the drama course at Bayview Secondary is coâ€"operating with Ray Barton of the music department to produce a show which will include all aspects of the performing arts. Drama, dancing, singing and mime will be used in a review-type entertainment, ranging from satiric to the avant-garde, and will include the school’s own rock group. Mr. Pearson plans to use a “cast of thousands”, and to engage a professional chore- ographer. A number of students are anxious to form .a children’s theatre in order to bring the pleasures and excitement of live theatre to the very young. Any adults interested in assisting in the project may contact Mr. Pearson at Bayview Secondary, phone 884-4453. One organization which appears to be the local cultural Cinderella is the Richmond Hill Symphony Orchestra. For want of suitable premises in which to rehearse or perform, the planning of' a regular series of concerts is not practical at the present time, and these fine instrumentalists should not be condemned to the bleak dreariness Of a sports arena, or worse still, to pack away their instruments for lack of support. Conductor Philip Budd and his musicians deserve a break. One final word â€" my thanks to all those who have kept me informed of their activities and given me such helpful co-operation. It’s been fun.
