City To Have Own Radar Set City council has invested in a little gold mine a police radar set, to be exact. Mayor A. B.

Hitherto, city RCMP have borrowed the municipal radar set occasionally.

Spit 'n' Polish Required For Custom Show Entries A $20,000 Fantasia Stingray by Chevrolet, on display at the annual Chilliwack Custom Car Club show Saturday, proved a big attraction. Describing the automobile, painted a peacock metal flake and featuring feathers for interior lining, club president John Koehn said: "It is privately owned by Boots Olson of Seattle.

It is the big hit of the 30 cars entered from Vancouver, Victoria, Blaine, Bellingham, Abbotsford, Rosedale, Agassiz and Chilliwack." Roadsters, pickups, coupes, sedans and convertibles, all gleaming from thousands of man hours of polishing, drew admiring glances from those attending the show. One completely rebuilt 1936 Chev was hand-made from the components of 10 cars. The motor was handbuilt. A 1949 Skoda from Czechoslovakia was custom designed and had 30,000 man hours spent on it, Mr. Koehn said.

Sharing the spotlight with the Fantasia was a drag boat capable of doing 92 miles an hour in one-quarter of a mile. Its Seattle owner, Dwight Harrop, valued the craft at $8,000. Horsepower was 535 and motor displacement totalled 427 cubic inches. For short distance dragging, the boat's top speed is 115 m.p.h. Trophies were handed out by judges Jim Schroeder, Sheldon Nickel and Chris Watson, all of Chilliwack.

Voting included best car in show (sweepstakes) and people's choice (balloting done by those attending the show). Total trophies handed out numbered 41. The cars were displayed over 12 hours, starting at 11 a.m. Cars Collide, Loss Totals About $1,900 About $1,900 total damage resulted last week when two vehicles collided on Yale Road East.

High School Highlights By BOB HILTON After a hot and seemingly short summer, students again are treading the halls of Chilliwack Senior Secondary School. A lot of changes were noted by students on the first day of school. Many additions and renovations were made to the school buildings.

The color schemes for classrooms were chosen wisely to brighten the outlook of the student's attitudes toward the school premises. Studies will also be brightened, it is hoped, by the semester system, a relatively new concept in Canadian high schools. In his remarks to the student body, our principal, Mr. Halcrow, outlined the new system and assured us that its success will be imminent. When he introduced the faculty members to the student body, a few new faces were seen along with the "regulars," the staff members from previous years.

The students' reaction to this year's faculty was generally good, though they were rather hesitant in accepting the new semester system. In to quench a BIG thirst -BEST!

You'll probably save money too! Phone 792-2667 do it now HAMEL'S DRAPERIES and FLOORS Southgate Shopping Centre a survey which I took after a few days of school, I found that out of 20 students interviewed (10 grade 11's and 10 grade 12's) a majority of grade 12's was against it and a majority of grade 11's for it. Advantages ranged from "there's less work with four courses," to "if you fail a course in the first semester, you can try it again in the second." Disadvantages varied, but the most common ones were "there's no variety in the timetable" and "with more study involved in major subjects, there is not enough studying time to deal with elective courses." The teachers, too, participated in the survey with most in favor of the new system.

Mr. Halcrow feels that the system has a lot of possibilities, aiding the student in his studies by "creating an atmosphere that stimulates the student's desire to learn." The year promises to be a rich and rewarding one.
