MONDAY, APRIL 18T. 1935 A statement of very great intergst to motocrists has just been issued by the Hon. R. C. Matthews, Minister of Naâ€" ticnal Revenus. It is to the effect that hercafter Canadian mctorists who have been touring in the United States and who have found i; necessary to hav» repairs made to thoir cars as a resu‘); of breakâ€"downs or acscidents, will be exempt from collections dutiés: on such repairs On satisfying the Collector of Customs at the Port by which tie â€"cars are brtught back into Canada that the repairs mads were of a nesessary and bona fide character. .

The current issue of The Canadian Motorist, the naticnal automctive maâ€" gazine of Canada, under the heading "Necessary Repairs to Tourists‘ Cars to be Duty Free," has the fo lowing to say :â€"â€" Statement of Much Interest Just Issued by Hon. R. C. Matthews, Minister o f National Revenue. No Duty on Repairs to Cars of Tourists What would happen to Ontario if the motor car were suddonly to be islated cut of existence? The immediâ€" the effect would b> that 13.000 men Only thre> other countries exceed Canada in the number of motor cars cwned; United States, Great Britain and Northern Irsland, and France are those three. To the governments of the provinces the mzstor car indusiry, the metor cars and their cwners have been responsible for an increasingly great proportion cf revenue. In 1932, the Canadian moâ€" torist contrizsuted nsarly $50,000,000 to his provincial governmert; Ontario m:torists alone donated nearly half that sum. Molor vehicle registration, motor drivers‘ permits, gasoline tax and so on contrive to get a maximum of‘ revenue from the moiorist. no cheapest mctoring in Canada from th» standpsint of taxes appears to be the Yukon. The gassline tax has not reacheod there yet; rcgistration fees ar» extremely low, as is indicated by the fact that aithcuzh there are about 2,000 mctor vehicles (mostly cars) in ths Yukon, they pay cnly $2,500 in taxes. that of the slauzhtering and meat busiâ€" ness, the millingâ€" of fiour. and grist, or the manufacture of paper and pulp.

The automObile industry in Canada, nonâ€"existent until 1905, has risen to be one of the largest in the country.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO "With the number of persons killed or seriously injured in motor car acciâ€" dents increasing year by year," Mr. Vansickle says, "the public is becoming more "safety conscious" and more thoughtful of those details of new cars that contribute to safety of opswalion. Persons who do most of their driving in the mountains might not all head their lists of wanted safety features with the same items that would be selected by persons who do most of their driving in filat country or by pzrâ€" sons who drive chiefly in city trafficâ€" but there are three items that will be among the first five on almost every list.

Stoul, president of the Sceisty of Automotive Enginsers, is convinced that the front engine type of car has absut run its ccourss and is destined to be supsrseded ‘by the rear engine type. "It is my cpinion that in fivse or six years the transiticn will be suffâ€" ciently matured for the rear engine car to be the dominant ons in productiisn," says Mr. Grossman in an article in a recent issue of Canadian MJtorist.

SAYS REAR ENGINE TYPE OF CAKR TO RECOME DOMINAXNT "Reo‘s more recent contribution, the automatic â€" "Selfâ€"Shifter" dntrodvced nearly threse years ago, removes the dangers attendant upon shifting gears and the mental strain. Poth hands ars at all times free for steering and for signalling. When gears must be shiftâ€" ed by hand in an emergency it is imâ€" possible ‘to have the left hand on th: wheel and at the same time extended from the car to signal drivers coming up from the rear. Again, the removal of the conventional vearshift lever from the front â€"compartment, together with the shifting of the parking brake lever to a convenient location well forâ€" ward to â€"the driver‘s left, makeâ€"it easy for the driver to leave his car through the right hand door, instead of climbâ€" ing .out the left door into mud, onto slippery pavement, or in front of apâ€" shos. internal. byvdraulic brakesâ€"the type pioneered by Reo in 1924â€"is rathâ€" er convincing. evidence of public recogâ€" nition of the type sf wrakes Rss.owners have found so effective and safe.

These two sids trusses are tied toâ€" gether across the width of the with cther members. Some of these form a framing for the roof Of the. car whil2 cthers securely tie and bracvce the conâ€" struction at the bottom, front and rear. Betwesen the top and bottom chords of these trusses are various vertical and diagonal members that properly brace the trusses and distribute the loads carried by them. Thess ‘vertical and diagonal members are so placed as io coincide with the cp:nings required for windows and doors, and also form places of attachment for various exâ€" terior panels of the body. Horc is a brief description of the Chrysler Airflow combined body and frame construction or "truss frame,." In this typ2 of construction, body and frame as a unit is actuâ€" ally ecsomposed of two trusses that form the exterior side framing. The top chords or members of these trusses folâ€" low the top line of the body from exâ€" tremese fronit to extreme rear of the car on cach side. The bottom chords folâ€" low the bottom line of the body and join the top chsords at the extreme front and rear of the car. 4 There is a very radical and important fundamental â€" différence ‘between : the Chrysler Airflow and any other car on the market in that the Airflow is the only car that has ‘a unit frams: and body of oneâ€"pigte. construction bumps to bumper producing structural strongth that is not: possible, according to Chrysler engineers, in any other type cf constructiion.â€" A yeéear of service in which Airflows have been driven one hundred million miles by owners has proved the worth of the Airflow conâ€" struciiorn. ~Naturally, then, Chrysler has not changed the fundamentals of this highlyâ€"successful design but has made refinements throughout the car.
