/ Recreational Y ehicles Shifting into High Spunky'GoAnywhere9Car Also Serves Home Front Gear Not too long ago, the outdoorsman who craved a vehicle for busting sand dunes or creeping along the banks of a marshy stream had to build such a unit himself. And if the fruit of his labor had all the visual appeal of a home-made tank -- well, it could take him where he wanted to go -- off the road and into the backwoods. One of the problems was the builder usually spent more time under his vehicle than he did in it. Today, the situation has changed dramatically. Anglers, hunters, and campers not only can buy units specifically built and tested for more demanding duty, they can actually afford to be fussy about some of the smallest details. Rear-wheel or all-wheel drive; two-door or four-door cabs; bucket or bench-type seats; standard, automatic,'or five-speed transmission; highaltitude carburetion equipment for mountain driving or increased-capacity cooling for the desert -- these are only a few of the options. With an array of choices like this, sportsmen can order the exact units they want and need directly from the factory. Serves Other Purposes A wide variety of models is available ranging from the spunky "go anywhere" compacts through heavy-duty station wagons, to long-bodied pickups designed to carry camper bodies. If you can own two cars i that is, if you are wha,t is known as an actual or potential two-car family), and if y.ou genuinely love the outdoors, there isn't the semblance of a problem about affording one. Remember, your recreational vehicle doesn't have to sit in the garage between trips to the wide open spaces. It can also do everything you would normally ask of a second car. All of these units can be equipped with "civilized" options to equal the conventional car in terms of comfort and convenience. As just one example, the International Travelall station wagon has power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, air conditioning, tinted glass, and a stereo tape player as optional items. One of these family recreational vehicles will do yeoman service during the week on trips to the shopping center, tq the women's club luncheon, hauling the kids to their music lessons, and a thousand and one other things. Yet these same units can take you and your family, in comfort, into beautiful, breath-taking country--places you could not reach by any other means. wrapped and dispensed from television sets. Many are turning to the outdoors as the primary source of recreation for their leisure hours. To them, a recreational vehicle is their entertainment. Maybe they passed up a color TV set and some similar luxuries on their way to purchasing their unit. Finding Adventure In the great outdoors, they're finding their own adventure, and watching their own spectaculars. And while traveling or camping far from the vestiges of civilization takes more effort than switching a channel, the rewards of cooking over your own camp fire and breathing unpolluted air can be infinitely greater thanwatching Errol Flynn finally get the best of Basil Rathbone. To many people, the thrill of outdoor living -- far away from the cities and highways -- is the only type of "family togetherness" that really makes sense.

Recreational Vehicle Variety Offers Wide Choice of Models The wide variety of recreational vehicles now available ranges from the "go.anywhere" compacts through heavy duty station wagons, to long bodied pickups designed to carry camper bodies. Take those built by International, as an example: six different Scout Compacts; five Travelall station wagons; six Campermobile models and some two dozen pickups. Choosing from among this many possibilities can become confusing. This makes it essential for a prospective owner For off-highway travel in twisting terrain, a 100-in. wheelba.se all-wheel drive Scout is a logical choice. In rugged country, short wheelbase models can move the easiest. Suppose, however, that you're planning to tote a family of nine and you need a vehicle that can carry everyone and pull a travel trailer. Here, a roomy, nine-passenger to decide how he will use his new recreation vehicle before selecting a particular model. Travelall station wagon be ideal. Maybe you're an outdoorsman- camper who doesn't relish pitching a tent. If so, an International Campermobile-- a specially-equipped model designed to accommodate either a camper insert unit or a chassis- mounted body -- may be your answer.

These four models -- compact, station wagon, two-door pickup, and four-door pickup -- offer a basic choice to the outdoorsman in search of his personal transportation to the great outdoors.

This matter of what clothing to take on tours gets simpler- each year now that permanent press fabric and drip dries are available. They solve the travel, laun- . dry problem and make if possible for travelers to step out of the cars after long stretches of touring, looking fresh as daisies. Clothes, ol course, should also be chosen with due consideration for the climates through which you are traveling. and the variety of recreational and social activities in which you plan to engage during your tour. International Nickel's underground mining operations in Ontario require some 40,000,000 board feet of timber each year. By all means plan to take your fishing tackle, and swim suits for everybody. With less room needed these days for clothing, it should not be difficult to find space for sports equipment as well.

Plenty of room is essential in a \ehicle for the great outdoors. Their Knterlainment Maybe you have a neighbor who drives a Campermobile or a Scout. As you watch him pull out of the driveway each weekend, headed for the beach, desert, or high-country -- you say to yourself, "Old Charlie's not superhuman. He has the same number of wives and children as I do, and he doesn't have a rich aunt or secret oil well. We're the same age, have the same income, and have the same handicap on the golf course. Then why should Charlie have the market cornered when it comes to adventure0" Why indeed? These days, many Americans are asking themselves the same question Perhaps they're tired of adventure neatly Making Sure Of Outboard Performance From the clear cold lakes of Maine to the tidal waters of Puget Sound, at thousands of boat houses on quiet inland waterways and at docks in busy, modern marinas, sportsmen are busy "readying" their outboard engines for another summer of recreational boating. In the belief that certain "tips" on pre-season outboard engine preparation, if followed, can lead to good, trouble- free performance, Johnson Motors' service manager, Louis W. Eppel, contributes this counsel: 1 -- llemove, elean, inspect and properly gap spark plugs; replace defective plugs and use new gaskets and torque plugs to recommendations of manufacturer. 2 -- Remove oil level plugs from gearcase and check for proper oil level. 3 -- Thoroughly clean and refinish surfaces as required. -I -- Check battery for full charge and clean terminals, ('.lean and inspect battery cable connections. Check polarity before installing battery rabies, ('.over cable connections with grease to prevent corrosion. 5 -- If possible, run motor in test tank prior to installing in boat; check water pump and theriuostat operation. Certain, checks then should be made In mid-season, or at every 50-hour^ of engine operation, Eppel emphasized. They include flushing and draining the gearcase, cleaning the fuel filter bowl (replacing the fuel bowl element), cleaning and regapping the spark plugs, checking propeller for correct pitch, lubricating all grease fittings and inspecting the remote control box, cables and wiring harness. The Johnson Motors expert also suggests lubrication of carburetor and magneto linkages, and adjusting the tension on the magneto and or generator drive belts. Checks should be made on the battery, water pump, the condition of breaker points and timing, the carburetor and ignition synchronization and carburetor adjustment. Pointing out that even with increased horse power strength that the comparative simplicity of the outboard power plants remains steadfast, Eppel contends the average engine owner can himself attend to routine maintenance. "Check compression by pulling the starter rope to pull the motor over," he said, "checking the pull and 'bounce' as the motor turns over. "Check the filter bowl and make certain fuel is flowing from the tank to the carburetor; if it contains fuel, you can assume the fuel flow is adequate; if the bowl is dry, the engine could have a kinked or damaged fuel hose or the tank may be empty." : ^ v THE EASTER BUNNY \ / / is proud to announce l | , I f t ' * ^ 1 w i n n e r s o f h i s 'm ^ * * . 1 % 4 a) coloring contest. | Thanks to the 1 \ cooperation of the i i following stores: !
