This factor coupled with public Oshawa Public Library Has 40,064 Circulation Boost There have been many changes since that second 'day of September, 1864 when the first meeting of the Mechanics Institute took place almost one hundred years ago. The first Reading Room was situated in the rear of Mr.. Allin's book store and the large sum of $80.00 was spent on newspapers and periodicals in 1865. Among these were such familiar names as The Illustrated London News, Punch, and the Scientific Amer- ican. A membership of $2.00 per person entitled the holder to at- tend lectures and to use the li- brary. Lectures were held every two weeks on Friday evenings.

REALLY RADIO | Actually the radar speed ichecking device isa low power jradio transmitter and receiver. |The transmitter sends out con- jtinuous -unmodulated radio |waves at an ultra high frequen- icy. These waves travel at the Ispeed of light, or 186,000 miles per second. When these waves |meet the surface of a vehicle |they are reflected back to the receiver, A moving vehicle changes the jfrequency of the wave reflected |back. This change in frequency jis directly proportional to the speed of the moving vehicle. |For instance the frequency Radar System To Be Changed the change would be 314 cycles per second and at 100 miles per hour the change would be 3140 cycles per second. These changes in frequency are measured by the instrument against the continuous transmit- ted frequency and ane convert- ed by the machine to miles per hour and are shown as such on a direct reading scale meter. USED MORE Radar is béing used more and more frequently. in the establish- ing of proper speed limits- on streets and highways. Speed limits have been increased or decreased in accordance with accurate data secured through utilization of radar in surveys conducted. Thus speed: limits which are more realistic to the driver and which experience proves are actually safer and more effective are developed and instituted. Also, radar is used frequent- ly in response to complaints about speeding. On many occa- sions the radar has proven that such complaints are foundless, that what was assumed to be excessive speed on the part of the drivers was actually a speed within the legal limit. FOOLPROOF A lot of folklore has been spread throughout the country about secret ways to evade the radar device. Many are the vic- tims of growing delusions that radar can be beat. Some of the foolish things that have been tried include: Putting loose ball bearings in the hubcaps -- has no effect on the radar but does help the police to hear them coming. Coating the fan blades with aluminum paint -- has no ef- fect on radar. Having ground straps or chains dangling down onto the road surface attached to the body of the car -- has absolute- ly no effect on radar. Putting luminous paint over all the chrome on the car -- has no effect on radar, The most popular belief is in foil), Miles and miles of it have been draped over and around bumpers, hung from axles, twisted around ca radio anten- nas or wadded inside hub caps. It doesn't make any difference how it is used, or where, -be- cause it just doesn't work! In heavy traffic a whole platoon of vehicles may pass through the beam of radar waves, and one vehicle may be passing this platoon while going through the beam. The police officer who is watching the flow of traffic can easily observe which vehicle is moving the fastest and the radar always gives the speed of the fastest moving vehicle. IN COURT JThe courts consider radar a perfectly legal tool, like a speed- ometer for gathering evidence against lawbreakers. Excessive speed is the main factor in the severity of any traffic accident. Injuries are mone frequent and more severe in accidents involving vehicles travelling at high speeds than in those involving vehicles at low speeds or within the legal speed limits. Excessive speed kills more drivers and passengers in traffic than any other violation. There is no such thing as a Speed Trap or Radar Trap. The dictionary defines the word "trap" as "something which has some bait or lure to attract and ensnare"'. The police never set out any bait or lure to gct any driver to bear down heavily on the ac- celerator and exceed the speed limit. Drivers suffering from speed- omania are "lured" to more specd by the power of the car itself. In other words the ve- hicle is the only kind of "speed trap". Wilson's Reliable A husband and wife team run Wilson's Furniture company in Oshawa -- a store which prides itself on friendly, courteous service and high quality merchandise. Bob and Helen Sherman bought the 35-year-old business from its original owner in 1962, when proprietor Mr. Wilson de- cided to go into retirement. During the takeover, the en- tire store at 20 Church street was fully renovated.

Bob Sherman says he considers that his store carries the biggest selection of such bedding in Oshawa. Wilson's Furniture puts an emphasis on stocking a varied selection of home furnishings. A specialty is a line of chairs of almost any type which can be bought. They include uphol- stered rocking chairs and swivel chairs. All the stock is of modern, contemporary good solid construction. 'Re- member, we cater to the work- ing man, Your STORE CALL design and of|" With his 40th birthday but two years away, an Oshawa electrical contractor decided it was time to bring a lifelong dream to reality, He abandoned his electrical contractor's) bhusi- ness and set out to seek a soft drink franchise, Within 19 months he had turned a com- paratively modest. investment into a thriving business worth more than $100,000. Robert Hegadorn, who was born in Oshawa, today runs Motor City Beverages Limited from 5,500 sq. it. in the exclu- sive Industrial park in Oshawa together with six employees. Mr. Hegadorn attributes much of his success to an early desire to be in the soft drink business following in the footsteps of his grandfather and father. As a boy. he worked in his family's former company learning all the steps of the business while on vacation, With the close of the operation in 1940, he com- pleted his education, becoming an electrical contractor. How- ever, his dream did not die. "I followed the fortune of Roya! Crown in the States. It seemed full of challenge, being one of a rising company pitching against the giants -- and with jgreat success." He added, |Three times I wrote asking if jthere was a chance of getting ja. franchise in Canada. but was jal urned down because the Wiotor City Beverages Shows Fast Growth company had no plans for what seemed to be a very small market in Canada." "In 1960 when I heard that they were planning to open up in Canada I applied again for a franchise, It was a while be- fore I was able to work out a' proposition. This followed with the great excitement of getting going and finding that there was great local support for the enterprise and the products Events took a terrific upswing last year when Royal Crown launched its low calorie prod- uct 'diet-rite' cola, It filled a need with doctors, dentists and parents who were growing jalarmed at the high sugar in- take that the children were hav- ing in soft drinks with conse quent unbalancing of diet. The new drink has only one calorie per six. ounce serving. You would have to drink some 300 bottles to get the same calorific intake of a hamburger," Mr. Hegadorn said. "I am _ predicting a very rapid growth pattern in the future with low calorie drinks which will slowly be followed jwith low calorie foods," said Mr. Hegadorn.
