VonNuys (Calif)--Thurtfry, October 12, 1t71 Reflections in My Kitchen Window Each Decade Without Fail We Face Two Happenings By GERRY PRINCE YOUNG fiEvery 10 years, we can. Ip ture of having to face tffo happenings of major iigportance. The United States government takes ilS census, and we start to Idbk around for a new car. "Fortunately for our family's peace of mind, the two events never fall mthin the same calendar year. Our car shopping starts in years ending "2" or "3" and the census, of course, has already been taken, tabulated and results filed by tfiat time.

at The reasons that looking for a new car is such complicated project for us are many and varied. In tfie first place, we try to fiSd a car that has a happy look, or at least a pleasant expression. -The easiest way for me tt try to explain this to you is to tell you to take a look at the front of the next car you happen to meet up with. Chances are, it will have a mean or saeaky expression. Many cfrs do.

And some of them lopk downright stupid, as iffthey weren't quite sure just where they were headed. "And if there's one thing I require in a car, it's that it knows what it's doing or where it's going SALESMEN COUNT In addition to the car, -ive also shop around for salesmen who are truly interested in our problems This automatically rules out all those who are too EDUABDO CAMPO (Kathleen Colder) Pouple Travels to i Chicago Evening rites at the Canoga Park home of Mr. and Mrs. Julio H. Campo ijnited in marriage their son Juan Eduardo and a thleen Mary Calder, Daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. George Calder, also of Ca- rtoga Park. For the ceremony Kath- made her own Empire-style gown trimmed i a i i complemented by a daisy- trimmed caplet securing her shoulder length veil. She carried a bouquet of daisies and roses. 1 Shirley Kent was maid of honor and Carrin Lynn Calder was bridesmaid.

JJm Heyne served as best than and Julio Campo aiid Roberto E. Campo were ushers. The newlyweds greeted 1X) guests at a reception held at the Calders' home lfore they left for Chicago, where they will re- sfde. Both young people at- Canoga Park High School and Kathleen studied at California State i) i versity, Northridge.

It also eliminates those look vaguely across the lot at the car in which re interested and say only. at color did you want 9 And then there's always the salesman who doeai't even, ask that, but who bluntlv declare? ihst the color and model available is the Ofie sitting right here on his lot so we can take it or leave it. Just once we took it. Ever since then, we've left it, and gone elsewhere.

We also have the problem of finding a car that fits not only our tastes, but our budget And, despite all of those much- touted easy terms," this isn't easy, either. After all. we don't want to look forward to spending a good chunk of our lives making- payments on a car on which the balance owed may well be more than its depreciated value. OLD CAB CARES And last, but not least, e's the matter of avoiding hurting the feelings of our old car, which has served us so long and well. Some salesmen, we lind, are not at all perceptive in this matter.

We once had an aged Studebaker, hich developed a serious cough and collapsed altogether cry time we parked near a new car lot or even drove past one discussing a possible purchase. So we learned to be very tactful about the whole thing. We'd remark casually that we had to pick up some things at the store, or go to the cleaner's, then park around the corner, out of sight of the new car display, and walk back. But we never could get the message across to the men who were selling the new cars. They, really seemed very callous about the matter.

They would stroll over to 'the old car to give us an appraisal on trade-in value, look at it critically, and then, before we could stop them, make some very mean remark. 1 lemember one bales- man in particular, who regarded our old Studebaker with obvious distaste, not en coming A eiy close to it, as if he feared it might a mething contagious. "Oh, this," he said, be stretching things to allow you more than $150 it's only fit for the junk yard The old car wheezed and coughed all the way home, and we felt so bad we didn't even go out to look at new cars for more than a month. So you see how things go When it comes to major happenings every decade, we know the government mut hare its problems with the census But our own family chore isn't easy, either.
