Bodies by Fisher retain the same spaciousness of a year ago, but more than ever before interiors possess an atmosphere of custom coachwork.

Two-tone pass- enger compartments of the con- vernbies make use of genuine leath- er and leather fabric.

To the passenger, the &ded rid- ing comfort of the newest Chevro- loi;-. will be noteworthy. As a means of eliminating vibration in the passenger compartment, cri- gineers devised a new method for engine mounts. Known as ”Cen- terpoise power", this has involved the substitution of three-point mountings for the previous mount- ing at five points in the frame.

The new mountings include soft- er ruber members with greater vibration damping characteristics so that less vibration is transmitted from the'engine to the car. giving .1 softer feel. With this type of mounting the engine ”floals" from lifph points of suspension. In- creased stability in the driving con- trols is another advantage.

Additionally as an aid to com- fort in the new cars, the company claims a smoother ride on rugged highways due to new shock ab- sorber action. Greater resistance to the "pitch" sometimes induced by rough roads is also credited to the improvement.

Several modifications in the idle and the accelerator pump systems and the fuel bowl of the carbure- for are responsible for greater ef- ficiency in carburetion.

Chevrolet's popular automatic transmission, the Powerglide, which over the last year has proved its value in the hands of thousands of owners, again is listed as op- tional ' P on Deluxe models

pacers in the Maritimes, includ- ing the famous Colonel Dan, 2.06. -"Just thought I .would drop you a line, and give you some news from-this neck of the woods. I t was over to Woodstock and up through Maine recently and saw all the new horses that came from the Harrisburg salt and had a long talk with Earl Avery, who was back visiting Woodstock. "Earl looks well and had his best season's racing since he went to Uncle Sam's country. While at Fort Fairfield, Maine, I was talk- ing to Bob Maskey. He is with the Reed Bros., of Fort Fairfleld. He was asking about you and other Island friends he made on his trips to Old Home Week with the Reed Bros. horses. He con- siders Johnny Conroy one of the best and says that if he was up on the Grand Circuit with some good horses he would be among the top drivers.

"Personally I don't think Bob is for astray. I had a good look at Bob Brown's new pacer Skelter 2.07. He is a big. beautiful chest- nut horse, sound as a dollar and Earl Avery says he was one of the bargains at the sale.

"Your old friend. Allan Quar- termain of Newcastle has a splen- did prospect, a five-year-old'mare Arlene's Money by Real Money 2.09 U2, dam Tara Hanover. He raced her two or three times at Truro last fall and expects her to take quite a decent record this year. 3. J. Ryan of Newcastle, who is just coming into the sport. has a three-horse stable-Edward's Pride by Mac Abagail, dam Miss Mac Dale, also Doyle McKinney and a broad more by Grattan Bars 1.59 U2. Alphonse Naptke of Newcastle and I have in partner- ship Jim S., 2.18, by Lauderdale, and Norman Frisco 2.10, by Real Frisco 1.59 U2. Jim S. is a pacer with good feet and legs and can brush terrific. He would make a good ice horse. '

"Norman Frisco is a trotter and a real one at that. He is the horse that Earl Avery won the ice championship with at Fort Fairfield. Maine, trotting a quar- ter in 28 N4 seconds. Before I bought him I had a talk with Earl and he said that the Frisco horse had more speed than any trotter he ever drove. I hope well get a chance to cut him loose somewhere but we may have to go up to Maine to meet foemen worthy of our steel." Thanks Glen for remembering us again and we hope you "clean up" the potato state speeders.

We also acknowledge a letter from a very fine horseman, Hugh D. Cann. Yarmouth North. N. S. and are glad to note that he still keeps up an interest in sport. He is a great admirer of Baron 2.11 and wants to know about his whereabouts. We don't blame Mr. Cann for liking Baron. We have the same feeling ourselves. Maybe the new owners can make a deal with him when they are through racing.

Sir.-Would some kind, charitable. sports-loving fans donate the Forum some new Band records. as evidently they can't afford them. or otherwise they have some but haven't the least idea of what kind of music goes with a hockey game.

Since hockey started here in 3950, the fans have been subjected to listen to everything from jigs. rhiimbas to Carmen Lombardo's crooning, and to some records so old and scratchy that it's hard to distinguish just what they are playing. A few Ircan recall that we have been forced to listen to between periods and before games are such rousing airs as "Silver Threads Among the Gold". "Prince Edward Island is Heaven to Me". yes. and of all things during the festive season, "The Easter Par-, ade."

During the old Big Four days we-were fortunate in having the Band to put us in the hockey mood with such rousing march pieces as 1 "Col. Boogie", ”The Thin Red Line" and numerous Band selec-
