A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, October 16, 1965 t MOTORING Automotive Writer Of The Oshawa Times odtiies 1965 motor racing season came to an official close last weekend with a three day splurge of speed at a wet and windy Mosport Park. There was a little something for everyone; even those hardy individuals who ride bicyeles as a sport -- and like it. For most, the event provided a last chance to stock up the trophy cupboard before the winter layoff. With many of the "big-boys" staying home, the event had a pleasantly informal, club atmosphere. Everyone was just poking around having a lot of fun and trying not to bend their machines. ON THE LOCAL scene, perhaps the happiest man in the Mosport paddock was Al Reading. Regular readers of this column will be well aware of the troubles Al has been having with his newly acquired Cooper Monaco. He bought the Coventry Climax engines machine from English hill climber champion Josh Randles. Up until this year the car had done little more than hurtle up hills at an awful fast pace. . The change to road racing didn't go down well with the car at all. For some peculiar reason the car will not go more than five or six laps without boiling its head off. On the first occasion out at Mosport this year the car ran nice and steadily for a couple of laps and then cried out in protest, burst a water hese and put Al in hospital for six days with a scalded backside. NOT DISCOURAGED in the least Al and his mechanic Dave Jackson stripped the car down and checked just about everything they could lay their hands on. It didn't stop the overheating problem, however. Every time out the story has been the same. A lesser man would have given the machine a good kick and dropped it in the garbage can. But not Al. He gets more and more enthusiastic about the car. this overheating problem Sorted out I have got me a really competitive car." And her certainly has. The car is very quick indeed for a two litre machine. IN SATURDAY'S sports car race which was run in appallingly wet conditions he finished well up in the field and took home a class award -- his. first of the season. The Reading camp was understandably overjoyed at the race finish. It was the first time in a full season that the car had finished a race. But Al was still not happy. The car had been over- heating again. "T couldn't get it up to full revs all race," he explained. "If I had she would have got too hot and that would have been it for another race.* : got too hot and that would have been it for another race." SUNDAY'S competition brought a hill climb over a one and a quarter mile course. This was very much to the Cooper Monaco's taste. "'Just like the old days," it seemed te be saying to itself. Anyhow, to continue the story, Al climbed aboard and with a great roar of noise and blue tire smoke hurtled off the line. Round the first corner, the run. é The next run Al had that look of a man out to prove a point. Leaving burnt rubber all over the road he smashed round the course in a vivid 1 minute, one second and a however, fuel surge spoilt ' few odd tenths. This was a whole lot faster than anybody had been all day. It stood as the fastest time of the day right up until the last moment when Horst Kroll climbed aboard his Porsche and got down to the 1 minute even mark. Still the Cooper Monaco has collected its second trophy of the weekend and things \were--going--well. MONDAY BROUGHT a return of the overheating trou- bles. Al led the field off the grid with a marvellous piece of acceleration. He hung on in the first four for a couple of laps before the temperature gauge began to get a little dodgy and he packed it in for the day. This winter Al intends to strip the whole car down to the last nut and bolt and check everything. "There has to be a cause," he said with that same gleam of enthusiasm he had at the beginning of the sea- son. "And we are going to find it. "Just watch us next season." | LIBRARY NEWS AND REVIEWS (The following" reviews were written by Miss Enid Wallace, Assistant' Chief Librarian of the McLaughlin Public Library.) PRETTY TALES FOR TIRED PEOPLE, by Martha Gellhorn. This is a book for the so- phisticated reader. In three novellas longer than short stor- ies and shorter than the usual novel) Miss Gellhorn once again proves herself a master of this medium. The men and women she portrays are not always loveable or even likeable as they pursue their own selfish ends but there is a mesmerism about her writing which holds the reader spellbound. As in the heroic tales of old, each man's fate is determined by his char- acter and we are moved to pity evitable blow falls. In a "Promising Career" a rising young English headmas- ter who tries to keep his per- sonal and public life completely separate finds his teaching car- eer abruptly ended by the scan- dal of a divorce suit. The hero of "The Clever One"' manages to keep one step ahead of history by changing his name, his country and his lan- guage as occasion demands, fi- nally becoming a very wealthy and successful New York law- yer. Completely ruthless as he tosses friends (and wives) aside, he finally meets match in a woman who is as unscrupulous as he is. Only the third story "The Fall and Rise of Mrs. Hapgood" has an ending which may be interpreted as even partially happy. A devoted wife and mo- ther, a perfect housekeeper, Mrs. Hapgood discovers that her husband has been philandering through 30 years of marriage. After a peried of shock, our "Let's face it," he told me last weekend, '"'when I can get heroine comes upon the poet Cummings' advice "to eat flow- ers and not to be afraid" and goes off to run a Spanish inn. Miss Gellhorn first became noted as a foreign correspon- dent with the publication in 1959 of "'The Face of War'. Her most recent novel was 'His Own Man" an ironic novel set in Paris. PUBLIC SPEAKING WITH- OUR FEAR, by Maurice Forley Medical Robots Seen In Future JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) A South African scientist sug- gests that by the turn of the century most day-to-day tasks of general medical practitioners and surgeons will be under- taken by robots. Dr. D. S. Henderson, director of the computing centre of the Witwatersrand University, said that it was already technically possible for a whole ward of pa- tients to be continuously moni- tored on a round-the-clock basis by computers, or for the admin- istration of anesthetics to be completely automated.

In the chapter on "How to develop and research your sub- ject," the author tells the read- er to use the public library and points out some of the resources available. He does not mention the fact that librarians are |there, eager to assist the po- | tential speaker in his search for | material, if only he will make known his wants. The sections on '"'How to han- die a question period" and "How |to preside at a meeting" should be particularly helpful. This is 'a useful and informative book.
