\ * SECTION 2-PAGE 4-PL AINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JAN. 24, 1973 ' 6RY' Spells Outdoor Recreational Versatility Greater Capacity9 Greater Comfort, Attractive Looks are Features of Family Camping Vehicles • * Family Flight to Great Outdoors Broadens Children's Education Gathered at a Missouri campsite on the Lake of the Ozarks, these recreational vehicles all add to the family's enjoyment of living. Offering comfort as well as capability, they are opening a new world of easy access to the Great Outdoors. More load-carrying capac­ ity, and designs Intended to ensure more passenger com­ fort and ease of handling, are being rapidly Introduced into the increasingly-popular recreational vehicle field. Manufacturers such as In­ ternational trucks have cre­ ated vehicles for the whole family. Such designs as the new Scout II, for instance, retain the characteristic rug­ ged abilities of All-Wheel Drive, yet offer every comfort and easy-handling feature available in a compact wagon. . ^ The family's weekday shop­ ping car thus becomes a vacation vehicle capable of towing a boat or light trailer into recreation spots not ac­ cessible by road. For larger trailers, "super" vehicles like the Travelall wagon do the towing Job in full automotive luxury, yet at home can double to handle the entire Cub Scout pack or a trip back from the shop­ ping center. Camper pickups, too, are becoming more and more like automobiles in exterior and interior features, including ease of operation. " There is no doubt that the trend toward the Great Out­ doors Is being accompanied by a trend toward more ver­ satile recreational vehicles -- whether "RV" is taken to mean the dwelling unit alone, the vehicle that provides the motive power, or the two In combination. The job of driving the unit has ceased to be a "job," and blv^Jncreasing number of women now think no more of handling a large RV than they once did of running the family car Into town. It is to meet this trend that the new generation of RVs has been created, making it easier than ever to enjoy family living in the Great Outdoors. McHenry's Favorite Sports Center 1210 N.

Why? Because flying and personal airplane ownership is a shared adventure, and every member of the family -- from dad and mom to sis and brother--can participate. Every airplane trip requires planning, and each repre­ sents solid educational oppor­ tunities for everyone. There are rivers to be crossed, mountains to be overflown, cities to record for position checks. This is a natural, since dad -- if he's a pilot -- and son can spend hours together working out details of the route to be followed before departure ... and remain closely allied dur­ ing the trip as they work in concert to identify check­ points from the air. v Flying also is confidence building, particularly for youngsters, since during the trip they frequently act as navigators. (They're getting so they can identify rivers, cities and other checkpoints pretty well now, and they're justifiably proud of their newly developed abilities to do so.) Mom and sis get into the act early -- particularly when pre-planning involves decid­ ing where to detour for a little After a short, pleasurable flight, this family leaves their private aircraft and boards a friend's amphibious "Coot," which will take them over roadless areas to their camping hideaway. off-route sightseeing along the way. And the kids? They'll while away hours deciding which toys and games to bring along to keep busy dur­ ing the flight when not acting as stewardess or co-pilot. Before and after a trip, of course, everybody can get together and go out to the airport to wash and wax the airplane ... and maybe bring some friends along to help and make a party out of it. The real beauty of a family airplane, however, is that it can be continuous enjoy­ ment. With the speed, com­ fort and convenience of a modern personal aircraft, a 500-600 mile trip is no more than a few relaxed hours by air, with plenty of time to do what you want after ar­ riving. Thus, flying families can take off for the Great/Out­ doors 52 weekends a jrear if they wish. Every Saturday can be the beginning of a rewarding new adventure. Family airplaning means visiting cities, flying into out-of-the-way fishing and camping areas, or maybe spending a weekend at the lake or beach. Above all, it means doing it together. Usually, you're not in the air long enough for anyone to get tired or irritable ... so everyone arrives relaxed, in good spirits and ready to go. Charge Into Great Outdoors With Handy Credit Cards If you are like most vaca­ tioners, you've pretty well established a tight budget for your upcoming trip. And if you are typical, not much of that budget includes con­ tingency funds for any mis­ haps your car may encounter on the road. If that's the case, Cham­ pion Spark Plug Company recommends arming yourself with well-accepted credit cards to tide you over any emergency. Better yet, use those credit cards for needed services before the trip be­ gins. Benefits of the credit card are significant. The car own­ er needn't put off vital re­ pairs until cash is available. Credit cards help your book­ keeping chores since often a single billing will Itemize all expenses -- a particularly valuable benefit if your car expenses are tax deductible. Still another plus with the credit card is that you need­ n't carry excess amounts of cash with you. Credit cards have become universally accepted. More than 200,000 gasoline stations accept credit cards, not only for gas and oil but for more expensive purchases like tires and batteries. In addi­ tion, services like tune-up can be charged, often into easily budgeted payments. Almost 115,000 Independent service outlets accept some form of credit payment plans, ranging from their own to popular bank and travel- type credit cards. In addition, a greater share of the 33,000 automo-- bile dealerships service out­ lets are accepting credit cards. Some^, will even pay for first year's membership in popular travel card organ­ izations. So, there's no need tp drive an undermaintalned car on your trip to the Great Outdoors. You can charge in­ to the countryside with asr surances of a trouble-free trip. IT'S NATURAL Soft velour pile, in muted pastels, answers the junior plea for naturalness. JAR OF SOAP Reg.
