Kendal Hall N ew s On Sunday, February 23rd the battle of the sexes was on again, the weapons were bowling balls. I regret to inform you but the women of the Lodge allowed the men of the Lodge, to win, but only by a very slim 23 pins. The ladies high single was taken by Enid Brewer with a score of 216. The men's high single was taken by Richard Lowery with a score of 190. High triple, Chad Switzer with 453-for the men and Nadine Trimble with 500. The Crying towels were awarded to Terry MacDonald for the ladies and Brian Cathcart for the men. I won't mention thecir scores. Everyone retumned to the Hall for a delicious salad supper. There were fewer out this year-but those that didn't show missed a fun afternoon and a good time of fellowship afterwards. Next card party, Friday, February 28th. See you there!

The cost of transportation has a major impact on most people's budgets. Many car owners spend more on their vehicles than anything else except housing. There are two categories of automobile cost. Variable, or operating costs, include maintenance, tires, gas and oil. Operating costs are worked out on a per-kilometre basis because they increase with distance driven. The costs of ownership, or fixed couts, include insurance, depreciation, taxes' and licensing and registration fees. Operating costs are worked out as an average per kilometer travelled. Keep track of ail oil and maintenance receipts. To figure out gasoline costs, fill tank, and then keep an eye on the odometer. After you've gone 200 kilometres fi the tank agamn and note the amount of gas used. Repeat the procedure several imes until you can average the resuits. Armed with oiu, gas and maintenance averages per kilomàetre, you need only know what tires cost to arrive al 'IL* Fu~ u oprrating cxpcnscs. atyrtie cost an average .76 cents per kilometre. Then calculate total yearli' operating costs by multiplyingth average cost per kilometres you drive in a year. To figure out annual fixed cost, total the yearly cost of auto insurance, vehicle finance charges (if any) and licence fees. You still need to know your annual depreciation. To do this subtract the trade-in value of your car from the purchase price, then divde by the number of years youve owned the vehicle. Adding these together gives you your annual fixed costs. Once you have made these calculations for your vehicle you can compare the cost of ownership to the cost of using public transit and rental cars. If you are anything like me you prefer not to know anything more than you have te about costs of running your car. Personally, 1 think knowing the unknown isn't a bad option to consider about owning a car - just think if you had ail the answers perhaps it would stop you from sleeping soundly ' the way I see it.
