Ford, RejuVenated,

An extraordinary story OF a Ford car
rescued from the scrap pile, r"juvenated

vice and still going strong. is told by \.
G. Pierce the manager OF Seed Farms,
Ltd. a model farm OF 200 acres near
Leipzig. Saskatchewan. This is Mr.
Picrces story of the resurrection
"Our former manager had called the
car nothing bu; a pile OF junk When
! arrived at Leipzig last spring ! found
the Ford buried in snow bank back ot

model, and at first glance it looked pretty
hopeless The tires were inflated and
we had 10 chop out a block OF ice around
each wheel These tires are still In use
with no blowouts during the season.
Water had been left in the cylinder
Jackets; consequently these were cracked
and had to be replaced. The rear axle
and drive shaft had been removed to be
repaired. but instead had been taken
apart and left lying around.
our former manager had offered TO
sell the car for $50, but there We're no
takers However, at a cost OF SS7 the
old car was put in service and has
proved to be az good as new so far as
running qualities are concerned II has
been in commission since last spring and
l have driven it during that time 1900
miles Owe country roads and II has
never touched a paved street
"The pile of junk has given the COM
pany value it would be Impossible to
estimate For instance, It was possible
with the car to make a hurry up trip to
Wnkie and back In two hours, carrying
repair parts weighing over 200 pounds
which were holding up the pioughlng
outfit. Getting these on the ground
meant big money TO us. The trip 10

part of the mile track designed for
horse racing.
The asphalt course Is new element
in road or track racing, and Oh" pre-
senting cond ions with which drivers

aduHtted that the asphalt will he fast

Is from those who fear that, as the
race progresses. the turns and curves
may become DANGEROUS on account of
oil which some racing cars throw in
such profuson. The exposition au-
thorities promise to remedy such
condition by statIoning men at the two
right angled turns and a. other curves
on the course, with orders to scatter
sand over the surface wherever signs
Of danser appear.
These rlgh, anEled turns are, in the
eyes OF the drivers. the only drawbacks
TO extreme speed. They cannot be taken
