An editorial in the Renfrew Ad- v'ance last wepk bas considerable mèrnt and niight well be worth considering by auto manufacturers who next year wvill be supplying seat belts as standard equipment for bath front and rear seats. It suggests a centre seat belt in the front seat for use by those littie girls - and some of? thcm quite big - wbo drive araund town cuddled up ta the bo *y friend wbile cruising on his or his Dad's . . . gas bill. They qit so tight, says the Advance, tbey must be worried about losing their steady out the left fr-ont door. Or, per- haps, they are- cold (in May); then again, it could be they have neally short legs and like ta rest their feet on the transmission hump in the centre. This centre sitting seems ta be al the rage naw, every second car hae two sîtting wbere there should be one. In the oId davs the gear shift an the f on got in the walv. but not any more al- though it still must be tricky with nome of? those "four an the floor" jobs. Debate on changeps in the rules aof tie Flouse of Commons as part ai? the government's plan for parliamentany refanm has occupied Members this week. For many years ail parties bave paid lip service ta the cause ai? parlia- rnentary reform but nobody ever gat around ta daing anything about it. Two years ago Prime Minister Pear- son appointed a Special Commons Com- mnittee and gave it the job ai? recom- mnending ways ta streamnline and moder- nize the horse and buggy rules of the House ai? Commons ta enable Parlia- ment ta cape with the increasinglv large volume ai? legislation required in this period ai? the 2th Century. Il the weather decides ta change, st long last, to what it fis supposed tn be the first week of June, thé 1965 edition of The Player's 200 at Mosport Park this weekend should see better than 50,000 voung and old sports car fans sprawled ail over the big area ta our north. Scotland's Jimmy Clark, fresh from wvinning the Indianapolis 500 on Mon- day and a chunk of big money, will be here and should help ta draw specta- tors from far and near. Last year, it will be recalled that Clark's car de- veloped mechanical troubles that pre- vented bîm from racing. This year, things Fhould be different and he will be doing bis utmost ta make it two wins in a week ta give him a real edge in bis battle for his second world titie in three ' ears. He will be driving the Lotus 30 that has carried him to en impressive string aof victories. While in this area there are not toc many top notch drivers, many will bttend ta take in the excitement and the colorful atmosphere that alwavs accompanies this particular event. It seems almost unbelieveable that only a few miles from Bowmanville we have à tounist attraction thai can outdraw for a single event everv other sports spectacular in this country. Yet, nor- There's one big problem that bag been averoe. We were always on the lookout for the law because we uipd to dr-ive with one hand and the other one around the girl. This, of course, is no longer necessary. Now, the girl has one arm around the boy and there is noth- in- in the highwav act that we knaw of against it, unless'she starts ta distract hîm iurther from bis task of wheeling the vehicle. Why weren't xve smart enough ta think of that? As we recall it, the girls were a bit more inhibited in those days, especially rîght in the town. Tbey just wouldn't cuddle over il they thougbt somnebodv mnight sec them, so maybe we wenen't quite as back- ward as one might think. Hawever, those centie scat beits should be looked into. Who knows, they might save a life. It would be interest- ing to sec what the admen would use for copy. They migbt bc called "Cuddle Belts" for those Tigers who won't stay in the tank. The new procedural changes, which have not been finally adopted bv' Par- iament as yet, genenally are designec ta set a time limit on debate.

In niany ways, we are completely remate from it and its impact. On occasion, there have been attempts by service clubs, chambers of commerce and other organizations to tie in dloser with the set up, if only ta capitalize on the large crowds that invade the area. Practically every one aof these efforts bas met with failure, until at present, there is littie connection between those in charge aof Mosport and the local populace. How this can be altered is difficuit ta determine. There is a tremendous potential there if only it can be tapped somehow. Certainly, Mosport can use ahl the assistance that can be provided by this area ta overcome its long-standing financial difficulties. However, ta date noa one here has corne up with a plan that would localize the project. In fact, each year the organization part af Mospart appears ta be mare remote than previously, with most of the acti- x'ity connected with the major events being carried on in Toronto. It may have ta be that way because most of the crowd will corne from the cities, flot from the small towns. But, surely, we cou!d Jain in somehow if only in a small xvax to become more closely assacîated with this major attraction. £ttei's 12 Ovyerlea Boulevard, Toronto 1.

TIME HOBBLES ON l'Il be 45 this week. It's one ai? those rathen decisive birthdays, like 13, and 21 and 30. Only 10 years before l'Il be middle-aged. A good time ta sum up. One tbing that strikes me is the amaunt ai? junk a fellow can collctl in such a brief span. I came mbt the world withaut a stitch or a nickel. And in only four and a bal? decades, I have acquired a number ai? stitches, about 400 nickels, a bouse with twa mortgages, a car with 12 payments ta go, two teen- agers ta put tbrough university, and a wife currently talking up the glanies ai? an automatic disbwash'er. Not Io mention a houseful of fun- niture that's aIl dite to be replaced. a hasement full of empîy heer hotties. a toolsbed full of rusty tonis and broken bicycles, an ;d an attic full of black squir- rels. But 1 have ima complairîts abut life. I was the runt o? the, litter in aur faiy, and I've gm'own ino a magot- ficent physical specimen, towening five foot eight on bot days, and tipping the scales at a strapping 1:38 in my winter a\ ercoat. AndI wimal a beatin-g tîmat nRcaire machine fias taken ini 45 vears' 1've been sea-sick and air-sick an(] Iove-siek. l've rolled aven in a car, ci'ashlanded ini an aircraft, and smashed into a steel bridge at top speed an my bike. I've been beaten into unconsciausness by a gang ai? Germans, and bit with evcrything frnm a telephone to a plate ai? roast bref by my wife. Yet thpre's hardly a scratch on me. Outwardl y. I've broken fingers and lars andi nose (three times). I've had bemmor- boids and hangovers. I've had my scalp laid open by a hockey stick and a hanse- shoe. I've had measles and mumps and TB and the trots, scarlet fever and bur- sitis and pink eye and dy« sentrv. Anti yct, amazingly, the olti carcass presses on. Sigbt anti hcaring are sound as a bell though smeiling is gone com- pletely. Appetite ls unimpaireti, and the Il could not be just by penchance, This month seems chosen for romance, 1 ..u-uiur Last }'riday evening, my wife and I were Ruests nt Courtice Hligh School Graduation, and Inauguration Banquet. It was a novel experience as it wvas our first. The turkey dinner was pro- vided by Ebenezer U.C.W., and can oniy be rated "tops" as ta quantity, quaiity, and service by the three score satisfied diners. Because of the Iimited attendance at such functions, many persans may wonder what it is aIl about. In the first place, the affair wvas staged ta honour Grades 13, and 12D students - a sort of farewell partv - something that wvi1i always be regarded with pride, and affection by the recipients. The Inauguration part meant the bow- ing out of the 1964-65 Student Council, and the induction ai? the 1965-66 Council; this was accamplished by the current President handing his symbol ai? au- lhoritv (the gavel) ta the Principal wvho then hýanded it, with apprapriate re- marks, ta the incaming President.

This summary of praceedings of this happy event may satisfy some who neyer had the oppartunitv of attending such, and it mav bring a touch of nos-1 talgia ta some whose graduation date1 is ail but forgatten. My ife, and 1I were too dumb ta graduate from High1 School, and, until last Friday evening,1 no one had thought ta invite us ta at-( tend a Graduation ceremonv.

At the moment, because none aof the trees are over severi feet higzh, it is quite a sight ta stand on a. hilI, and view the patterns of the variauis fields, which brought on a fit aof nostal- gia as \'our scribe remnembered a similar scene, <wcr a much larger acreage, a few years after the Ganaraska project got rolling. Back in those days, it brought a bit of a thrill ta think that, the patterns being laid out would have to be ad- hered ta for. at least, the next eighty- five to one hundred and twenty years, depending an whether the crews we4, planting Red Pine. or White Pine. It xvas noticeable that, where a bircb, or cluster of thern might provide too much shade for the gond aof the Scotch Pine, Mr. Sturrock did not chop the birch dawn, but pruned some of the lower branches so A.3 ta allow some extra surishine ta nurture the Scotch, thus producîng a potentiallv profitable Christmas tree, while retai'ning the esthetic beauty of the birch. If he were planting a coniferaus farest, then the birch, and ather deciduous trees would have to be sacrificed because, in time, they would become a nuisance as "wolf" trees, stunting the growth aof the coni- fers, and being aof little value (as tim- ber), themselves, but an the Sturrock estate, bath can ]ive together because tbe Scotch will not be left to mature. Tbere's noa doubt that, the Sturrocks. hope ta make money Out of the project but it must be a nice antidote ta dis. pensing petroleumn products ail week, to go back there. and relax arnong thft inBedouins along the Israelî-Egyptian bar-der, frequently ask for treatment ai? njuries at United Nations outposts. 2nd Lieut.
