"TRANSITION: A litle more than 60 years ago, the Canadian Pacific Railway introduced to Canadians their first internal combustion self-propel- led rail car (INSET). This nronth the C.P.R. is placing in service four of the very latest in self-propelled cars--the Budd RDC's, Patterned a- long "Toonerville Trolley" ines, the old gasoline-powered, single truck rail car was 18 feet long and carried 14 passengers. Today's 90-foot Budd car carries 89 persons and is air-condi- tioned. Old 602, the first of the breed in Canada, was also air-conditioned, but in a primitive sort of way--she had open sides. Unimpressive as the old car was, she can still lay claim to being the forerunner of the modern stainless steel, streamlined rail diesel cars which today are providing ser. vice between Montreal and Mont Lau- rier, Toronto and Detroit and North' Bay and Angliers. The original rail car, built in 1902, operated from Mon- {real's old Place Viger Station to Ste. Therese. Scout News On Sunday Nov.

At a meeting called by the O.H.A. last Sunday in Lindsay the Port Perry Jr. "B" Hockey Club entered a group- ing comprised of Lindsay Jrs., Peter- boro Jr. "Petes", Collingwood Green- shirts, Midland Red Wings and the Port Perry Flyers. The local "Flyers" coached by ve- teran Jack Tisdall shove off the 1953- 64 season this coming Tuesday night 'when they travel to Lindsay for a scheduled game with the Kawartha town Jrs, The Club returns home to open the season and also the new artificial ice palace a week from Sat. night, Nov. 21. Tickets will go on sale early next -week for this big event, that marks 'the return of Port Perry to the Ontario Hockey Association after an absence of several years. Peter- boro Petes will be the visitors. Conch Tisdall has a tough job on his hands to get the "Flyers" into shape in just five days before open- ing with still no icé at the Memorial 'Gardens. However it is expected ice will be in this week-end and the boys will be hard at it. Remember Nov. 21st, a week this Saturday is opening night, get your tickets early. [I think it is only fair to say, that not one boy on the "Fly- ers" is getting paid a dime, every cent brought in at the gate goes to help pay-off the Artificial ice. So we strongly urge that you support your team to the hilt, and in so doing you not only will receive fine entertain- ment but will help pay the Artificial ice_and clminate continuous canvas- sing for funds.
