BY BRUCE STEWART You may see a lof of my black 1964 Ford Econoline Van around town in the near future. You may also hear a lot from my 1964 Ford Econoline Van around town in the near future. She makes a low, growl- ing. gurgling noise as it goes down the street. . It didn't use to make this noise. She used to be quite a different Van. But that all changed about ten weeks ago when I deci- ded to set out on an 9,000 mile trip to the Yukon with the Van. Everybody told me I was crazy to set out with the old Van on such a trip. Every- body except my friend who decided to go with me. And I think he had his doubts about the idea when we were about 700 miles north of Edmonton and 500 miles south of Whitehorse and the Van was coughing and shaking so bad we couldn't do any more than 40 miles an hour going downhill with the choke pulled out. It wouldn't have been so "bad if my friend or I were at 3% OAT J PRON EF least a bit mechanically min- ded.

"How to Fix Your Ford" is a handsome looking book. It might even be quite helpful to some people. It has some good suggestions on how to fix various ailments. However, our favorite method of fixing anything that seemed to be wrong with the Van was to lift up the hood and stare. Staring seemed to do wonders. Just gazing at the inners of the old girl seemed to show her that we still cared about her. It is impor- tant when a girl gets that old to show her that she is still loved. Of course sometimes we would pat her gently on the air filter or blow softly in her carburator. After doing the above things for a few minutes and promising her that there were only 1,500 more miles before we got back to pavement she recovered her old poise and continued on. By the time she got to Whitehorse, though, the .results of the trip were definitely showing on her. She had turned grey. And she stayed that way until we got back to Edmon- ton. We spent a full day washing the quarter of an inch of caked dust and mud off of her exterior in Edmon- ton, After that her normal color seemed to return, at least to her exterior. But when we took her in for a grease job in Edmonton, the mechanic had to use a crowbar to pry the mud away rom the grease nip- ples. " On the way home we developed the noise which currently bothers the Van but it only started in Thunder Bay so we just kept right on driving and made it home. Now I have to try to find out what is causing this latest problem. I wonder where to look in my "How to Fix Your Ford" book. Maybe under N for noise. a never give-up attitude.

He is succeeding Fred Etcher who guided the team through a succesful season last year. ' Mr. Redshaw has a long and colourful career in hockey in this area. He was a championship.

Due to the smaller capacity of the ice plant in Port Perry, the first training sessions will have to be held in Uxbridge. Ice is not expected to be available before sometime in October in the local arena. Last year five or six players from Uxbridge were members of the Port Perry team and it is expec- ted that support from the Uxbridge area willbe forth- coming again this year. The some of the other teams from larger communities such as Lindsay, Cobourg, Bowmanville and Port Hope Wayne Redshaw to coach Flamingo team are strong contenders for the Central Ontario Junior C title. Co-operation between players from the two rival hockey communities was excellent last year and the Uxbridge players con- tributed a great deal to the Port Perry team. It should also create more interest among hockey fans and larger crowds at the games with 'player participa- tion from the two centres.

Tourists take nothing away except happy memories, but they leave plenty of money behind them.

It provides jobs for over 154,000 people, quite possibly including you and your neighbours. What's more, by 1978 Ontario expects to play host to enough visitors to create 85,000 additional jobs. A worthwhile goal, certainly. But how can all this be accomplished? Here are some of the things that your Ontario government is doing: We're making loans for the development of Tourism means jobs.
