PRE-WAR CARS o Automobile men point to the number of pre-war cars on the road when one asks about future sales prospects. At the end of 1953, there was an estimated 725, 000 cars on the road which had been Wilt before 1940. At current production rates this amounts to two full years' uction.

The ideal height of windows from the floor is 25 inches. However, many homes have windows set 20 inches from the floor, and corres- pondingly lower at the ceiling. When opened from the top, high set windows permit the hot air un- der the ceiling to flow out more readily, thus assuring more rapid cooling of the room in warm wea- ther. Another factor, from the stand- joint of comfort and physical well- ing, is the fact that high win- dows permit radiators or convec tors to be placed under the win- dows. This considered a good lo- cation because it permits heat to Jone the cold air where it comes n By locating the heating units un- ler the windows drafts are often Jrevented, providing more health- ul and comfortable enviroment. Ford is able to make motor blocks in its own plants in Windsor rather than having to secure them from a Sarnia plant. CREDIT CONDITIONS SOUND From a credit standpoint, con- ditions are good, Joanne the drop in financing volume. Collections have shown fio weaknéss to late. In Canada, only 40 per cent of] new car sales are on. c¢ as ainst somet like 60 cent the United tes. Moreover, there has beem no significant cl in recent months as to the amount of credit b --the per- centage remains close to the long- term average. In this connection, peopl: are inclined to forget that even in the case of a car sold on that the down payment averages close to 40 per cent. Auto financing is actually a fairly short-term kind of cgedit. One of biggest po eptmise companies report that at end of 1953, 81 per cent. of its Pp: would mature during 1954, utomobile financing is still very usiness. For one thing, it's a vital part of selling cars since the automakers, not grant credit to dealers. eé necessary cash is provided by the acceptance companies in nearly all cases since the car dealer who mayes a Practice of laying cash on the line or his stock is a rare bird indeed. In 1953, for example, about $800 million was paid the automobile industry by the acceptance dealer as part the wholesale end of the acceptance business.

They're coming up with new ideas on what really makes cus- tomers tick. Gadget markers, for example, are being cautioned against their long-time Practice of selling a woman that their products can do her job many times better than she can. The woman may ay she likes the idea, but sub- jconsciously she resents it. "Gives her an inferiority com- plex, say the psychologists. 'She rejects ads that imply she's no longer of amy importance around the house and that her place can be taken by a gadget." ying| clothes, Psychologists May Put Sense Into Advertising The idea that 3 woman buys cosmetics and perfume just to catch a man is getting a second look from the ad managers, too. Psychologists--according to a Chicago advertising agency, Weiss Geller--say- what she's really after a mirror and get envious stares from other women. Probing of the consumer's sub- conscious buying instincts by psy- chologists has led the Chicago agency to question some of the time-worn advertising come-ons. Female authorities in radio and TV commercials, for example, are resented by other women--reminds them of a "nagging mother." and anyway listéners always suspect "women who know too re:ch." A Hit At in the Regina Leader-Post By KATHLEEN KRITZWISER REGINA (CP)--The bell will clang thro the halls of Balfour technical school for the last time 4 o'clock. Streaking out the door before the last clang will be Mrs. Jessie Hyland, librarian, to catch the 6 o'clock plane to Stratford where her daughter Frances has assigned her a role with the Shakespearian festival. "Frances thinks I should play a 'stage mother," "' Mrs. Hyland told us, a little apologetically, "but there are just two things wrong with that. A stage mother has to git in the wings and knit. There are no wings to the Stratford stage of course, and I can't knit The only thing I ever knitted in my life was a washcloth that turned out to be six feet long!"

TO STAY TO END Mrs. Hyland will be a charming and anchoring addition to the Stratford company. She plans to stay for the run of the festival and no else is accomplished this summer, she vows to get a few pounds onto Frances. "I'm go- ing to get some steaks into her, believe me!" She is proud of Frances, but it's a humble kind of pride, as though she sat off the side and looked at this child and shimmered in 'the knowledge of what she has be- come. (Frances Hyland, a native of Shaunavon, Sask., first became in- terested in drama in Regina where she attended drama classes. She went to England four years ago on an IONE scholarship for study at the Royal Academy of Drama- tic Art. Her appearances on tel- evision led to roles in H. M, Ten- nent productions. (Miss Hyland interrupted a Brit- ish tour to come to Canada for this year's Stratford Festival where she will have leading roles in Measure for Measure and in the Taming of the Shrew.)

SITUATION UNSETTLED It seems the school situation in S.8. No. 2, is still anything but settled. With the area school still unsettled it has made it very diffi- cult for both the school trustees of the section and the residents. However, the site which they have been looking at can be pur- chased for $1,000 an acre, rather than $1400 an acre as first sug- gested. The site contains five acres but the school trustees propose to buy just four acres. It seems the greatest difficulty SHIRLEY Ladies Visit | Sharon Shrine | H. B.
