New styling of the side trim emphasizes the car's new dram atically Iow profile. The Victoria is one of 14 models which will be built in feur series for 1956 - the Rideau: Station Wagon, Niagara, and Meteor. With Merc-O-Matjc drive, the Victoria is powered by a 202 horse power overhead valve V-8 engine with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. To be displayed at Farm Equipment & Automotive on September 30, the 1956 Meteors are equipped with new "Safeguard"' safety features offered for the first time by any automobile company, such as double grip door latches, "Safe- guard" steering wheel, special backing for rear view mirrors, stroriger seat mount- ings, and optional seat beits and crash cushioninlg for instrument panels and sun visors. enc- ere Th e cannon booms, (and every ôwd body jumps in théir seat evec endarkness for a few moment 7eywhile the excitement rises idsTh en the bar e stage which ex d f ends noteauineii offs thends intoitheirudienc is tes, tumes aves pee in th c o ess interval as if by magic, anc ?off the play begins. ýood From that moment, there j irst absolute silence, absolute ai- or tention from close to two tbou- ol- sand people, some of whor ct- may neyer have seen Shakes. ne- peare performed beffore.

This heterogeneous mass oi 1 people bas been catight up and captivated, whether experienc- ed or inexperienced in Shakes- pearean and Greek drama, by the fluid and aboundîng mave- ment which' this type off stage affords, by the skill off the players, the wanderful cos- tumes, the lighting-the whoie impact off it ail.

Which proves once again that there is need in the warld for dreamers, dreamers like Tom Patterson. A great deal off the credit for the ini- tial success goes off course ta -the marveliaus touch and flair *off directar Tyrone Guthrie. But personally. we have every con- fidence that having learned much from him, the company will carry on ta at least as great triumphs. There - is no reasan it should not go forward ta greater in time. WRERE THE HORSE "While around the Stratfard- Kitchener district for a few days whîle on- holidays, we drove north off Kitchener ta- ward Elmira, which is largeiyi settled by Mennonites. We met, a number off themn coming int.) town, driving a horse and bug- .gy, the farmer li bis black suit and bat, his wife in ber longJ black clothes and little black bonnet. In Elmira there is a i large public barn where, the 1 horses are driven in and tied î whiie the shopping is done. i Lovely horses they were too. It %vas like stepping back into an- other age. That is actuallv * what it is, for the Mennonites: do flot believe in modern in-; ventions and fripperies. Soneý have perhaps failen by theý wayside, for here and there we saw tractars in the fields. On the way to Elmira, a, W est Montrose, we saw tihe oniy covered bridge left in On- tario. It was built in 1881 anci is cailed the Kissing Bridge. We can't imagine whS'!
