With everyone rested after the en- erge tic, round-the-clock, 24-hour country musiccmarathon held at the Brock Theatre last week, the Whitby Br an ch of the Navy League of Canada extend their gratitude to everyone who p a r t i c ipated in any way, in the fund- rasiing event. A special note of appreciation goes to Don Osborne, who conducted the m a j o r share of the M. C. chore -at the t h e a t r e h e a d quarters, and to Dusty Stokes who shared those duties. Gratitude is also expressed by the branch to ail the entertainers who gen- erously volunteered their services, and to Mr. and Mrs. Goodman of the Brock T h e a t r e , whose premises were used dur ing the marathon. Cash t ake at the theatre totalled $535, while tel ephone pledges added up to $ 233. Despite poor weather Saturday morn- ing, cadets managed to colli ect the sum of $80 in their door-to-door canvass. A F a i r v i ew Lodge resident, Mrs. Grace S i mmons, recorded the first t e 1 e p h on e pledge at the Whitby Free Press office, and was rewarded with a f r e e d inner at Le Chalet Restaurant, whil e Horace Gilkes made the last pledge before the 24th hour called a hait to fund-raising endeavours.

A carsoadvancecitcan t you justabouteverything that'sright or wrong withit. Remarkable new invention in every 1972 Volkswagen. We've all been through it. The agony of an automotive check-up. You sit nervously thumbing through old magazines, praying that somehow you can get out of there for less thon $50. Then, the moment of truth: A Service Manager telling you that one of his best mechanics thinks you need a new generator. Those days will be over soon if you own a 1972 Volkswagen. For instead of a mechanic telling youwhat he thinks is wrong with your car, now your car can tell you for sure. Sound amazing? It is. A car wired like a space capsule. When Man went to the Moon, the success of each mission depended a great deal on a highly technical computerized system that told the Astronauts the exact condition of their space vehicle. A similar system is now built into every 1972Volks- wagen. The system in the car. Running throughout the car is a network of sensors, each reporting the condition of various parts of the car. Most of these sensor points are located in key areas like the engine or the electrical system, but many are found in seemingly insignificant places like the heated rear window. The information from all areas is channeled to one central socket located in the rear engine compart- ment. The socket is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. We mention the size only because of what hap- pens next. And that's what this amazing socket can do when your VW Dealer plugs our new computer into it. Checks wheel alignment in 10 seconds. In 10 seconds, you'll know if your front wheels are properly aligned. In a minute, you'll know the condition of the com- pression of all engine cylinders. You'll know if your battery needs water. Ignition, dwell angle, generator, electrical system. 60 vital checks in all. All checked out without human error. In effect, your car will be telling you how it feels directly. From that one tiny socket built into the back of every 1972 Volkswagen. Results printed out in plain English. One-half of the system is already here. Built into every new Volkswagen. The other half, the computer, is on its way. Imagine. A computer five feet away from your car is print- ing out in plain English just about everything that's right or wrong with that car. When all 60 service checks have been made, the printout sheet is yours to keep. A new way to look at a VW. It startedwith economy, bock in 1949, when itwasn't fashionable for an automobile to be economical. But since when has a VW been fashionable? Since never. Obviously, the Volkswagen Beetle hasn't mode it on looks alone. But then, that's always been the plan. While everyone else has been worrying about how their cars looked, we've been worrying about how ours acted. And now, after all that time, we've even advanced it to a stage where it can speak.
