When we burst upon an astonished world with our Ford+Durant, Edison, Burbank and such folk were forgotten. We won the centre of attraction, Everybody was talking about "We" fe. the Ford and us. i + 3:0 Ford had really occupied a very obscure position until we rescued it from oblivion, and shot it out into the world with meteor like rrilliance--sometimes (when we remembered to buy gas.) Corporate buying--of gas--is uncertain. We shall have to get our organization in hetter shape forawe find that the treasurer has no memory and the memory has no 2 Sudha This is par- ticularly disconcerting at this time of the year because nature has planted convenient mudholes at strategic points. One of the worst accidents occurred the other day when we undertook a freight contract. We never reached our freight. It was at the top of the hill and Ford forgot to put in a gasless at- tachment on this particular model. One other time we were more fortunate: we were within a few feet of our destinantion when the gas supply was exhausted and by a bit of pushing and shoving and mud collecting, we were able to turn Fon around, leap on board and sail down hill with beautiful unconcetn. If the garage men would give a discount large purchases of gas (say five gallons) there would be som incentive to buy ahead; but at present a gallon at a time saves more than one dime---at a time. : y When we got our Ford we made several improvements and our methods are open to be copied by all and sundry. Much has been written about the high cost of car upkeep; but there are ways of overcoming this expense--else of what use is that dump on Scugog Bridge, anyway? Of that more later. Our first improvement was the removal of the lace curtains on the Ford: They were too effeminate (if you don't know what that word "means, ask any of the professors at Toronto University. coe om. 3 va With the curtains removed, and some of the other embel- lishments, we had a free and unobstructed view of everybody and "vice versa." This last you also get at Toronto University. But we were not complete. We were in the market for a tail light." Unfortunately for us this article had been cornered by a bright young man who long has gathered untold wealth from that rich mine--the dump. In spite of our plea of poverty he held us up for 15c¢. for that tail light, no discount being allowed for cash payment. This cash outlay sharpened our wits imbued us with, the ex- ploring spirit of La Salle and ,we sallied forth to the happy hunting grounds and found the following treasures--a tire carrier, (but no spare tire), a hub cap wrench, (which won't fit the hubs,) a tire rim, rug rail, and numerous nuts, bolts and washers. Some of these will fit something. Doubtless when our need is great enough and the dump is more accessible we shall make another rich haul. ' We have a speedometer also from the dump, but as we have no speed it is useless. Ours is a rattling good car but those signs about speed limit do not apply to us. We keep the law, because we can't break it, : Talking about law reminds,us that we should remind you that any undue modesty on your part about displaying your license-- back as well as front--is liable to be misunderstood. One of our number had an interview with the Provincial police about this matter, and he assured him most emphatically that this is so. This information is passed on to you at less than cost, as our merchants say when they put on a sale. Don't forget--back and front license plates must be shown. We know. By the way, some other people know, too. When we bought this Ford, we laid the foundation for a Henry Ford should be given a large medal by Mr. G. Howard Ferguson, for he has stimulated much thought, increased our vocabulary, and widened the horizon of the youth of our land. - For instance our generator wouldn't work one day. It was no use tearing our hair, or using language of an explosive character; and George wasn't there to do it. So we sat right down just like the kids 'when they sit on the sidewalk to play "rallying the alley." Then we thought, and final- ly came to the 'conclusion that diagnosis was the pe solution of the problem, for we are convinced that when-a boy or a Ford won't 'go there's something wrong with their "innards." Well the in- vestigation took place--not a post mortem examination, mark you; not yet. We called in extra expert advice and found that the wire leading, to the ammeter was short circuiting.
