Ontario motorists The Independent Automobile Insurance Conference following a survey of its member companies said recently increases will go into effect on July 1 At the same time official said -the increases were mainly aimed at drivers with accident records and young under 25 drivers Accident-free drivers they said would be given preferential treat ment In addition they will still receive a "no-claims" discount No change in rates for private passenger cars operated for business purposes is contemplated Insurance officials said that the cost of accidents in the first few months of 1957 had been the highest ever up from 10 to 15 per cent f-' ft theatre at Belgrade after the British actors had given a performance of Miss Leigh still is in stage costume PRESIDENT TITO of Yugoslavia

can save time and money by permitting two TV stations to use the same antenna The equipment first of its kind ever to be installed anywhere has gone into operation at Quebec City serving both CFCM-TV a French-language station and CKMI-TV the aew English-language outlet Expected to be widely used tf Canada's major cities sprout new private TV stations in line with the recommendations of the Fowler Report it is largely the work of a 33-year-old Montrealer Bruce MacKimmie of RCA Victor Company Ltd MacKimmie is already widely-known in the electronics field as inventor of the wavestack the antenna that looks like a smokestack and is being used by one-third of Canada's TV stations He headed an engineering team at RCA Victor in designing and developing the new Quebec City equipment Until now all over the world each TV station in an area has needed its own antenna Some- times these have been erected on separate towers and some-' times on the same tower Either way haa been a costly and time-1 consuming procedure The new invention means that the signals from two stations can be transmitted from the same antenna simultaneously and no interference Officials point out that in Montreal fw example channels 10 1 and 12 have been reserved for private broadcasters one for a Liner Becomes Cruise Ship in Winter LONG HANDLE 214 in first class and 628 in tourist By opening a few doors that have "tourist class" and class" signs painted on opposite ides the Gripsholm becomes a palatial liner for about 450 cruise passengers To meet the exacting demands of cruise passengers the tourist cabins have been equipped with baths showers and telephones Some of the tourist class bathrooms are decorated with gold in lays For the northern route the Gripsholm has one swimming pool indoors No one is likely to want to swim outdoors a few miles south of the Arctic circle For cruises "presto change-o" and the top of a cargo hole becomes an outdoor swimming pool The children's playroom on the upper deck aft on Atlantic trips becomes a snack bar facing the pool simply by putting away the toys folding back the rear doors and trotting in the smorgasbord York Herald Tribune News Servcle NEW YORK With convertible cars so popular it was only natural that some one design a convertible ocean liner The Gripsholm (he new Swedish American Line flagship which juxt completed her maiden voyage to New York easily fils this novel calrgory During spring summer and fall this yacht-like 23500-gross-ton beauty will be sailing the North Atlantic lanes between New York and carrying about three tourist class passengers in low cost berths to each first class traveller In the winter when buiscncss on this icy route is dull the white liner will be sailing out of New York on cruises to- southern waters Designing a ship to meet both purposes calls for convertibility and the Gripsholm has plenty of it For the regular North Atlantic travel season she has berths for Thr situation had been further complicated they said by the fact that under the present rating system the insurance companies are paying tudoy's higher losses on premiums collected up to 18 months ago when costs were much leu The automobile insurance industry suffered substantial operating losses in 1958 due to rising arrident costs The new rate increases were intended insurance spokesmen said to bring premiums more realistically in line with the rising costs of accidents For instance collision costs for repairs due to changes in 1957 car models were up eight per cent over 1956 models while the more elaborate design of all recent model cars tends to make even the most minor accident a costly affair Insurance premiums are based on a "you set your own system they aid "When the cost and number of accidents increase so must insurance rates When accident -costs go down insurance rates follnpr suit" As for the decorations the handwoven draperies in one of the smoking rooms also are convertible For North Atlantic voyages they show up as blue background with silver dots For warmer travel they are turned in-ideout like a pillow slip and become a white background with gold stripes The 218-esat auditorium can he used as a movie theatre for live entertainment there's a big stage and two dressing rooms and also as a chapel for religious services of all fatyhs by nsing a portable altar The convertible idea is carried on by the huge evaporators that can convert ocean water into baths as well as drinking There are no signs in the Gripsholm's bathrooms saying "This water is unfit for drinking" As a trans-Atlantic liner the Gripsholm carries a crew of 351 As a cruise ship she will have an additional 100 crew members to provide round-the-clock bar service as well other extras tnat go with pleasure cruises The Gripsholm is already scheduled to make three cruises beginning Dec 21 when she win sail from New York on a 14-day West Indies voyage On Jan 6 she will depart on a 37-day cruise to West African and South American ports followed by a 55-day cruise beginning Feb 18 around South America Sydenham A super-savings!
