. Accorying to; Ganada's Olympic coach Sheldon; Galbraith Garol Jane Pachl has
a good chance of bringing home a gold medal from the Olympic games next
month at Gortina, Italy, Seen here with the 17 year old Ganadian senior
ladies' champ, Mr. Galbraith says she has the ability to win the Olympic cham-pionship.
- As for the pairs competition Galbraith has his bets on Frances Dafoe
and Norris Bowden. -They won the world championshlp last year and are re-ported
to be in the be^t shape of their entire career.
REVOLUTIONARY NEW CARS
Sovfet and British Cars of Tomorrow
; An experimental can recently put a completely unobstructed view of the
on. the roads of the Soviet Union,'is
one of many steps taken towards the
design of a really efficlent and com-fortable
car, driven by an engine at
the rear.
Oasigners have beenworking to thls
end In many countries in recent years
and postwar improvemehts in niate-rlals
and mechahisms have made
real advarices pSsslble. Thls' -,new'
SCiViet mode^ the NAMI-013: is one
of thcm. '
Built by the Soviet Motor Research
Institute, It has already had: exten-sive
road trlals.
Smooth ridlng, particularly - dlffi-cult
with .thls type of car, is achieved.
by Independent suspension of ali f our
wheels, using cocled sprlngs with
built in telescope shook-absorbers.
;' The wheel3,: being • much smaller
than In conventioual cars, do not m-terferewlth
access to the front seats

by a Special yi ngid body construc-tion
and by placing the spare wheel

; tthe guests arrlved. Many came
?!^special train from Bonn; being
plllberallyjon the way with chäm-nt;
;COcktails, snacks and cigaxs
by pretty, .unlformed "Krupp girls."
•During the wai', too, ^ there were
uniformed Krupp girls and men —
the 97,000 slave laborers., Many of
them dl6d from overwork and i l l -
treatment.
Before the ball the party of diplo-mats
were taken roundsome of the
Krupp factorles al> Essen and Rheln-hausen.
As a war criminal, Krupp had alJ
•his property. estimated. at up to 125
milllon pounds, confiscated. The
Americans gave it back to him.
At the door of the Villa Huegel,
which has- been used as a museum
since the Allles de-requisltioned . It
three years ago, more Krupp girls
took the guests' hats and coats.
Herr and Prau Krupp received the
guests in the immense panelled hali
of the villa, which is hung with lai-ge
Plemish tapestrles portraying the
deeds of heroes.
•Frau Krupp wore a cocktail-length
dress of brocade of many shades of
brown, grey and green, heavlly em-broidered
wit>h seqmns and brilhauts.
In her ears she v;ore smgle-stone
diamond pendants as big as starlings"
cggs.
Then they sat down, 640-strong, in
the upstalrs dioing room to a flinner
of shvimp cocktail, cold chicsen, ice
cream and Champagne.
Krupp was responslble for war pri-soners
as well as slave laborers; ' In
Krupp's custody tliey were underfed
and overvvorked, misused and in-humanly
treated," said counsel at
Nuremberg.
After dlnner, three bands plajed
in-various parts of the house and the
guests left the dining room to dance.
One of the most successful Ideas was
a bar set up in the covered-ln Winter
garden as a "wine-tasting cellar."
There guests could cboose any of 20
of the best Germlm.ivintages.
Downstalrs at the garden level, an-other
largexrowd of .guests gathered
in the Chiqese room,,decorated4with
road, • while the very short wheel-base
gives the car much greater ma-noeuverability.
Steering is power operated through
an hydraulic system and control is
effected by a single pedal which
starts the car, operates the brakes
and fv-arles the mixture f ed to the en­gine.
Tiansmlssion is' effertfed- through
an autcmatic gear box and univerr
sal-johited half shafts which carry
the rear brakes on thelr inner ends'
Front brakes are of the nonnal wheel
tjTje, but are provided with cooling
f ns coverlng the reduced rim size.
Water fi-om the engrine is used to
v^rm the interior of the cariand is
passed for cooling through radiators
at the front, just behlnd the bumper
bar.
Tmted glass is set into the roof
above the front seat to give maxi-mum
light without uncomfortable
glare and better visability of road
signals. . ,
TURSINE DBIVEN &RITISII CAR
Quite a stir has been cxeated in the
automobile industry with the announ-cement
that British interests are far
advanced with plans for a secret car
that operates pn the .turbine princi-ple,
and sheds the gearbox, propeller
shafts and clutches. According to In­formation
available, power transmis-s:<?
n to the wheels will be by m'f ans of
oil pressure. upon turbine-type rao-tors.
The, new function of the er^ine,
which can be run on gasoline, diesel
oil or kerosene, is to-drive a pump.
lacquered walls and.ceillng lined witd
patterned leather, to dance -to one of
Germany*s best-known bands. ' :
Among the guests were the fonner
heavyweight world boxing champion
Max Sclynelhig, now a strip cartoon
hero, acclaimed as a Nazl-Aryan hero
when he knocked out Joe Louis in
1936 — who replied by pulverishig him
In the first round of their return
fight.
After the ball guests from Bonn
were taken back in their special train.
For any other guests who requbred
transportation, the' Krupps put a
large fleet of Mercedes llmouslnes at
thelr disposal.
This pump feeds. a speciai transmis­sion
fluid via pipes into two small
turbine motors.
These .turbmesdrive- the wheels,

The Death of
BiiI Kivinen
Is Mourned
(Provldence. B. U iBoUctfi»)
In many commiinities throughout
Northern:Ontario the untimely
death df B i l l Kivinen is being moum-'
ed by i i i s many f riends.' He passed
away December 14th at theSudbury
General Hospital In his 47th year
of a hearfc condition.
B i l l .Kivinen was known primarily!
through his woi1s in!the co-operative
movement and also as the manager
of the Consumers' Restaurant in Sud-bury.
Bill was also an active athlete
in his youth.
. cHis passing is-deeply moxnned by
hls :Wife Pearl, their son Gary and his
mother Aino Kivinen, aU of Sudbiuy^
The following is a final tribute by
Jim Tester who wori£eddosely :with
B i l l for many years.
I wish to pay a final tribute to a
friend: He did not have the ifiark of
genius on him. Nor was he destined
for greatness. But he had some of
the qualities that make the common
people great.
I knew Bill Kivin«i for twenty
years. I worked with him in the co-;
operatitve and labor movements. I
knew- him as an honest and loyal
cbmrade — not given, to* theoretlcal
ideas, but conslstent in hls progressive
thlnklng. Herwas always on the side
of the people — fairrminded andrip-tolerant
only of those who showed
intoleraiice.
I did not share much of Biirs social
life, for he was much more rsociable
than I. He had a great capacity for
maklng friends. He knew people in
every walkof llf e and was respected by
them ali.
; Hls wann, human qpalltles always
impressed me. He was a man who
trusted.others'and when he gave his
Word; it was always honored. In tlme
of need and dlstress, he was one of
those I tumed to as a friend. , He
never let me dowh. What more can
you say of a man?
It has been the likes of him that
have; tlme and again vindicated and
renewed my faith tn the common
people; I will treasure memorles of
him as long as I live.

Last Saturday; and Simday a very
successful Skl school for cross-country
sklers was held at Long^ Lake by the
Voima A C . The club held a slmUar
schoOl last year which was also very
successful. The schools have been
under the auspices of the Northern
Ontario Skl Zone.
Some 45 sklers took advantage of
the opportunity to learn some of. the
fimdamental thlngs about cross-country
skilng frran the 1954 Cana­dian
champ Arvo Äyräntö; Äyräntö
was an active skler in Finland before
cömlng to thls country a few years
ago and Is a capable lecturer. and
Instructor. The language dlfflcultles
were overcome by nslng Unto Pentti­nen
as interpreter.
Unto is also active in skilng circles
and is presently chairman of both the
Ontario, and Northern Ontario Skl!
Zone cross-cotmtry commlttees. Unto
also plays an active. role in .th^ skl
committee of the FCASF.
Much of the school was centred,
arouhd a speclarswedish training f ilm
which gives very helpfui dhection for
pre-season trahiing and training in
actual snow conditions.
: Besides lecturing and leading the
dlscussions Äyräntö donixed his skis
and • showed the students the many
different styles Aise by cross-country;
sklers and what type of ground- they
ishould be used ta. He also gave yery
helpful potaters on how to fall on a
hill when that becomes a necesslty •
In order to stop without tajury.
A session of the school also'dealt
with waxing and some very helpful
suggestlons were passed on..'
After the schbol had ended a ski

be expected, 'establlshed; and held a

English, the one word that caused
liim more- trouble than any other
was "fast."
•This was a surprise. Had any of,

100 rocst confustng words ta the, lan­guage/
I doubt that the Word '-'fast"
would have appeared.
"You may say "the horse is last

you may say 'the horse is fasf and

But don't think that Ohtaese is the
only tongue in which tonal values;

have them:in coUoqulal American, too.
: Consider the slang word "yeah''
for example.
'As a straight answer to a straight

But 'with -a ristog tatonation and

is "the one delivered with a long dls-mal

as: ''JVre you gotag to do your

realiy means: . ' I suppose I'll have: to

There are plenty of other confu-slons.
