The 10 below temper- atures of the night before had diminished the charge o 1i batteries to the point they wouldn't turn over the starting ýmotors. My problems seemed a hundred fold as I struggled with the back seat in my Volkswagen, for some reason the manufacturer must have felt it imperative that passen- gers in my car have the pleasure of sitting directly over the battery. As if that would keep it warm. After bumping my noggin several times and cursing the manufacturer profusely, 1 managed to remove my plas- tic coated battery from its hidding spot. The battery was then taken inside the house and put in front of the oven, on the speculation that warming the dam tbing up would rejuvenate it enough to start the car. You guessed it, one hot battery back into the car, a growel, a hum and nothing, and more to the point, back where I started. Next, to my rescue came a neighbour, as I once again went through the performance of removing the battery and putting it on a charger he ought at Canadian Tire. The battery attached to the wall in the kitchen by means of a small blue machine and an electrical outlet, I took the bus to work. The battery supposedly charged, I arrived home that night to start the car. As the ignition played that familiar tune, I once again ripped the battery from its moorings and carted it off to the garage. But what reputable garage stays open passed seven o'clock at night n the city of Oshawa. The result a long haul to a garage and back for nothing. Well to shorten what is becoming a long story, the battery was charged, and the car started. At which point it was taken to a dealership to make sure that this would be a permanent condition. The car now needs a new starting motor to the tune of approximately $68. It has been said that the horse in the early days was a must for transport- ation. You fed it a little hay and oats, and it was always raring to go, except when it was sick. The sick horse usually got better, but a sick car always seems to demand major surgery. for a job well done.

It v Not al *.R.S.B's ýarealike* Consider the Toronto Dominion Retirement Savings Deposit. The TD RSD is a bank deposit. That's the big differ- ence. Its high-yielding interest rate is adjusted twice yearly to match that of the TD five-year Certificate of Deposit. And you never have to worry about fluctuations in the market value of stocks and bonds as you would with some other R.R.S.P.'s. Finally, there's no interest penalty for deregistering your TD RSD at any time. As with all R.R.S.P.'s, eligible annual contributions are deductible from your current taxable income - up to $4,000 in some cases. So depending on your circumstances, the 1974 income tax you defer can be substantial. The money you put into a TD RSD works hard to earn more money for you. For example, if you start your TD RSD at age 35 and contribute $1,500 at the beginning of each year, you'll have put in $45,000 by the time you're 65. Assuming a conservative rate of return over the 30 years of 7 per annum, -compounded semi-annually, your savings will have grown to $171,277! Your TD Manager is the person to ask about a TD Retire- ment Savings Deposit. You'll get all the facts, and you'll be pleased to know that you can start for as little as $250 with contributions of $100 or more whenever you wish. But hurry, March 1st, 1975 is the deadline for the 1974 tax year. iD ITS TIME IS NOW.
