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 nordo they reduco 5eatwidth. . , Protectton lor the diiver Is ensur-ed by a Special yi ngid body construc-tion and by placing the spare wheel Jii a bcot at the front. " Sitting well fonvard, th° di-iverhas 4avemaster Krupjs Throws a Party d^mily party — there were "only' Qj'uests — was held at the 300- - Villa Huegel, Essen, at the " ^ d by; Hitler's gun-maker, y u K r u p p von Bohlen und Hal-pi : li<was Heh: Krupp's fhst social itänee since his release from . Tfs the Americans i n 1951 after ^^,ig six of his 12 years sentence •^•:r:-r-'^V9X crimlnal. A realiy big party • JvJbe iield i n the spring to cele- 1^ the retum of Alfred's torother X-^A, also jfrom a war criminals' yi TI .the Nuremburg war criminals* it was stated that Herr Krupp v%acked pHitler since 1933. Ali Tjvaaforgötten at Villa Huegel as fllunior (iiplomats from Boim the gdests 1 m: the 1 celebrations began even ; 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, elfcher by two's of four's and can con-ceinrablybe; built into the wheels. The harder the fluid is -pumped, the faster the .wheels spm and provide speed. . .NÖIBRAKES REQVIRED *W'ith this type of motive power, no: bral^^^-äfe needed.

It IS claimed: that this system does away.iwlth the hazards of 'ocking or skiddlng.

Other claims for this gearless brakeless wonderarfe that the car can; hit 90 miles an hour with a perfor-: mance better ythan 30 miles to the gal-lon. - The possiblemarket price: for such an auto is placed- at $1,960, be- •caxise of the ntunerous new f eatures Involved. ' The engine wouldbe a horizontally oppoised f lat f our,water cooled, and installed: either forward of. the; rear axle or over the front axle.

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.

"An umpire\wiÖi two friends!" gasped the •manager whenher could get 'h!is toreath.' "Sure". 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 meetwas'held and Äyräntö,. as may be expected, 'establlshed; and held a säfelead for the best timcComplete jesults were pUblished ta the previous HEIGHT OF POLITENESS iRccently a holdup man was ap-prehended as a result 'of hls over-ipoliteness.

Bat^fvlien.it cxms» to (TTnfusioxis and incoxisistencies, ifs doubtf ui whether any language in the worM c?n toucb the one we use. >We had a Belgian at college who had leamed English ta his .native -:and.* One day the Belgian .volun- ^teered that n'hen he wa6 Jeamin^; English, the one word that caused liim more- trouble than any other was "fast." •This was a surprise. Had any of, •us been asked to write a' list of the 100 rocst confustng words ta the, language/ I doubt that the Word '-'fast" would have appeared. "You may say "the horse is last and mean that the^ horse is ti?d' to ahitchlng post," hieexplataed. "Then you may say 'the horse is fasf and mean that the horse is capalile of movtog rapidly. Finally, you may say; 'the horse is on a,fast' and you mean it isn't eatmg anythtag.' Chinese is supposed to be extre-melydifficultbecause the same Word uttered In two different tones may mean twoentirely different things. But don't think that Ohtaese is the only tongue in which tonal values; . change»the meanlng of the word.>We have them:in coUoqulal American, too. : Consider the slang word "yeah'' for example. 'As a straight answer to a straight questlon; it^may mean simply ':'yes" as in reply to the question: "Are you go-tag down town?" But 'with -a ristog tatonation and a question mark at the end, ''yeah?'?^ may mean"Do you realiy mean it?" as m reply to "Sue bought a$100 dress for the dancd" Parents of teenagers may: recog-nize another value for"yeah.'V. This is "the one delivered with a long dls-mal sigh i n response to such a question as: ''JVre you gotag to do your homework tonight?» This "yeah"' realiy means: . ' I suppose I'll have: to but I'd much- ratherstay here and watch television." There are plenty of other confu-slons. A neat bundle of them has jurt «Tived JCrom a contribuior on th< fiecmd jfloor vho «|»tained it fron eomevbere on the tfoir^ floor. Beyeni Ihat its orlgta is «bscure: We'il begin urith » box. and the pUnal is boxes. Sut the plural of ox sbould be oxe not oxen.
