kwon ~~~ BA THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, December 12, 1967 Dodgé Charger Keynotes Youth And Family Appeal The youthful. performance of; culation between the occupant's | sports type specialty cars and the versatility of a family size premium hardtop are combined in the all new design of the 1968 Dodge Charger. Featuring, semi-notch back roof design with a duck-tailed rear deck and aerodynamic sculpturing in the body sides, the second generation Charger has a sports appointed interior design and luxurious seating ac- commodations for six A special performance model, the Charger R-T (Road and Track), is being offered this year for the first time. The R-T is equipped with the high per- formance, 440 cubic inch V-8 engine, heavy duty suspension and brakes, dual exhaust, and Red Line wide oval tires with a wrap - around "bumblebee"' strip on the rear deck and R- T nameplates on the grille and lower deck FAMILY CAR Designed as a 'amily specialty car in the popular hardtop field, Charger gets its distinctive ap- pearance from a new aero- dynamic body shape created by Dodge stylists. A gentle swell in the front fender sweeps rearward into the door where it merges in wasp waist fashion with a similar but more pronounced body side con- figuration that becomes a three dimensional bulge over the rear wheels. Flared rear quarters give the added width and wide stance look of road-hugging competition ears In the side view the short, rear deck has an _ obliquely turned-up peak, called a "'spoiler" -- used in high per- | formance cars for improving the} aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle through all speed ranges Other performance and ap- pearance fe-tures in the new Charger are simulated engine heat waste gates in the hood and body sides; a large quick- fill racing style gas cap located aft on the quarter panel, and bumper mounted parking lights that resemble 'large, rally type road lights: NEW SYSTEM Charger again features a con- cealed headlight system.

Optional safety equipment in- cludes front seat "headrests,"' By GERARD McNEIL OTTAWA (CP)--A formida- ble North American electronic anti-crime network now places a Canadian patrol car within minutes of a computer- ized FBI storehouse of infor- mation' in Washington. The computer takes roughly three seconds to answer quer- ies fed to it through an exclu- | sive "crime wire' at RCMP headquarters here. Besides providing fast infor- mation to Canadian police on U.S. fugitives and stolen prop- erty, the computer will pro- vide similar information on Canada to U.S. police. In coming months, data on stolen Canadian cars and property, wanted men and criminals in general will be jstored in the Washington brain. Thus a Montreal auto en- gine that turns up in New York can be identified within seconds through its serial number as property stolen in Canada. In a period when holding suspeCts without charge is be- coming more and more diffi- cult for police, the electronic | RCMP IN WORK WITH FBI network is considereda breakthrough. It can provide information in minutes that used to take hours and days to be turned up through manual checks. The hook-up is part of a five-year, $15,000,000 expan- sion in RCMP facilities an- nounced by Solicitor-General Pennell in January, 1966, after a federal-provincial confer- ence on organized crime. Included in the plans were a national stolen auto file, ex- panded RCMP telex facilities, wirephoto services in major RCMP offices, with provincial and municipal police hook- ups, and introduction of com- puter and data-handling meth- ods. Just before the conference, the RCMP telex system linked 40 posts from Whitehorse, Y.T., to Corner Brook, Nfld. It now links 69. Meanwhile, more than 200 municipal and provincial po- lice stations have teletype fa- cilities, These facilities are the con- nection between the radio- equipped patrol car and the growing storehouse of infor- mation in Ottawa. CUPE Executive Still Adamant On Irregularities Statement OTTAWA (CP)--The execu- tive assistant of the Canadian Union of Public Employees' na- tional executive said Sunday he refuses to retract his statement about irregularities in the un- ion's recent leadership conven- tion despite a threat of dis- missal by the executive. Ben Coffey, 40-year-old Gati- neau, Que., resident, was given a five-week suspension by the union executive Friday and told that he would be dismissed at the end of the period unless he publicly retracted his changes of irregularities. Mr. Coffey said there were more than 20 illegal votes cast at the Nov. 23 Montreal meeting that elected Stanley Little of Ot- tawa as the president of the lap belts for centre p gers, shoulder belts for front and rear outboard passengers (ex- cept convertibles); padded steering wheel; and factory in- stalled rear window defogger. 115,000. ber union, Mr. Lit- tle defeated William Black of Vancouver by only 10 votes.
