Toronto is the centre of the country's most _ inexpensive used-car market and upward variations in price outside the city range as high as 17 per cent more in British Columbia. Elsewhere, the price varies in direct proportion to the dis- tance from Toronto except in New Brunswick and Nova Sco- tia where the prices, at five per cent higher than in Toronto, compare with those in southern Ontario. Quebec, Northern On- tario and Prince Edward Island prices are about seven per cent higher than Toronto's. Prices are 15 per cent higher in the Yukon, 13 per cent more in Alberta; 12 per cent in the Northwest Territories, 10 per cent in Saskatchewan, nine per cent in Newfoundland and eight per cent more in Manitoba, the guide indicates. lished six times a year by the Federation of Automobile Dealer Associations of Canada listing average prices of used cars im the Toronto area and estimating the percentage dif- ferential in other parts of Can- ada. The federation points out that its prices are averages and include estimates only from used-car dealers who are also franchised new-car dealers. While prices -are generally governed by distance from Tor- onto, they tend to fall below the provincial average in a metro- politan area, sharper big-city competition accounting for the difference. . And sometimes cheaper long- distance rail delivery of new cars may bring the price of used cars down in a region farther from Toronto than one where new autos are delivered by the more expensive truck route, Albert Bear, past president of the federation, says it's difficult to tell when it becomes econom- to buy a used car. But many) people do it, often combining it| with a vacation or business| trip, he says. The federation groups dealer associations across Canada. The 4,900 franchised dealers sell more used cars than new ones, says A. E. Cress, the federa- tion's executive vice-president. The prices and percentages in the booklet are calculated exclusive of local taxes and ex- tra equipment on standard models. : Figures in the boaklet would mean, for instance, that a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air with four doors and six cylinders selling for an average of $2,085 in Tor- onto would be about $2,450 in British Columbia, $2,275 in New- foundland and $2,225 in Quebec. Similarly, the 1962 model of the four-door, six-cylinder Ram- bler American, selling for an average of $1,275 in Toronto, would cost about $1,350 in Prince Edward Island, $1,375 in Manitoba and $1,400 in Saskat- The guide is a booklet pub-'ical to make a trip to Toronto'chewan. Birthdays Big Events In India BOMBAY (CP)--As a rule, Indians think that birthdays should be celebrated only in the case of children. The general philosophy is that the older a person be- comes, the less need there is to reming him of the fact. But there is one important exception to this tradiiton. A politician's birthday is a great occasion in India, especially if he is a minister either in the federal capital or in any of the 15 states. In all, htere are some 250 ministers in India. So, there is perhaps not a week when some part of the country does not see an: organized out- burst of sentimentality over the fact that a particular min ister has become a yeal older. . The ruling Congress party has issued many directives to its followers that ministerial birthday celebrations should be avoided in the interest of national austerity. But if any- thing they are becoming live- lier and livelier. The smaller the state, the bigger are the birthday cele- brations, RAISE FUNDS f The usual practice is to form a birthday celebration committee to raise public funds for the garlands and the processions. The more discerning among he. ministers have disp d with processions and are con- stent to receive a steady Stream of followers, each of whom winds a rose garland round his neck. One provin- cial minister is said to have received 900 garlands on his 67th birthday. Often, a birthday souvenir volume extolling the minis- ter's services to the state, to the nation and to the cause of humanity is brought out for the occasion. The ministerial birthday is a shrewd occasion for gatg- ing political strength. Poor attendance at a birthday cele- bration almost certainly means the politician is losing ground, At Trenton Base TRENTON The Royal Canadian Air Force Station Trenton Flying Club will hold an open house for interested visitors on Sunday, July 26th club officials made known to- day. The Club, which is affliated with the Royal Canadian Fly- ing Clubs Association, began operation at RCAF Station Trenton in 1956. Initially equipped with three Aeronea single engine aircraft the club has now graduated to two first line aircraft one a 90 horsepower Champion Tri- Traveller and the second a Champion 85 horsepower 7DC. Both aircraft are fitted with two way radio which is a club necessity as the Trenton Fly- ing Club operates out of a military aerdrome. The club aircraft are both decked out in the club livery of red, white and blue. The 7DC CF-FMR was ori- ginally fitted with floats but last fail the floats were damaged in a landing away from base so} that the club at the present time lacks a water capability. The floats are now being re- paired and with any luck at all on wheels with skis available for the tail-wheel fitted FMR. NIGHT. FLYING The club is authorized for night flying; instrument flying F.

Name of the invaders? Portu- guese men o' war -- large, purple-hued jellyfish with sting- ing tentacles that sometimes reach 40 feet in length. Despite the name, coined by British sailors centuries ago, the jellyfish doesn't come from Portugal.

Sometimes the cunning jelly- fish deflate their floats, sink un- der water and become menac- ing submarines 0' war. CAN BE DEADLY The venom of.the man 0' war is about as strong as that of the cobra but fortunately it doesn't inject anything like as much as a snake would. burn or a_ powerful electric shock. It is really dangerous for small children or people with weak hearts. The jellyfish usually revel in warmer seas than those that flow around Britain but every few years there have been big invasions. Holiday resorts hate them because the threat deters tourists. from visiting the sea- side. There is one_ consolation though. Tradition has it that when the jellyfish come, Brit- ain is in for a long warm sum- mer. After the coldest, wettest June in years, that prediction could -- at least for those who never go near the water.

These are a few of the ob- servations in a new government publication, The Unbelievable Land (Queen's Printer $2.50), a series of essays that eloquently tell the story of the Canadian ' ; North, and along the way ao aan pi hy rye out a misconception or two. TALKS BY EXPERTS This is an optimistic book about the land that encom- passes more than one-third of Canada's total area even though it has a population of only 37,000, It is an edited version of a series of 29 talks by northern experts broadcast over the CBC's northern service There's a foreword by Gov- ernor-General Vanie: in which he dismisses the pessimism of those who doubt there is a fu- ture for the land north of the 60th Parallel. His feelings are shared by Gordon Robertson, former deputy minister of northern affairs and now secre- tary of the cabinet. "Our history has been replete with predictions of doom and disaster," he says in a post- script. '"'Our country has a long record too of having much of it dismissed as useless, uninhabit- able and sterile. . . . We today seven routine ambulance calls.;would be. wrong to give too Bright Future North much weight to hasty and pes- simistic conclusions about the North." The 140-page book is attrac- tively illustrated, the photo» graphs divided into three sec- tions--the land, the people, the flora and fauna. In the text the various authorities discuss top- ics as diverse as the reasons why man shivers in the cold, the phenomenon of the North- ern Lights, the nature of sea ice and marine life in the Arctic. One disclosure is that the ice- worm, often thought of as a myth and long a subject of humorous Arctic poems and ballads, really exists, Dr. Tho- 'mas N. Freeman of the depart- ment ofagriculture says it is a small black worm closely re- lated to the earth-worm or comi- mon fish-worm. " The Unbelievable Land coh cedes that in the lagt 10 years Canada has made sure no one can challenge her sovereignty in the North, but it suggests more could be done. "The poeple of the U.S.S.R. are past the great days of ex- ploration, they have overcome the old senseless fear of the far north," writes Dr. Trevor Lloyd, chairman of hte depart- ment of geography at McGill University. be . ve now feel at home there and can, I think, show us in Canada much that could help in our own northern develop- ment."
