VETERAN CARS- AND THEIR SUCCESSORS


THE more we sec of those grand old cars such as took part in our Castle Run on Sunday, the more .we realise why this event has become one of the most popular annual spectacles in this part of the country. For just as it is warming and inspiring to sec some grand old folk who have withstood the years and at 70 or 80 still have straight backs, clear skins and sparkling eyes, so it is invigorating to see these old-time vehicles, which have worn so well and now parade so proudly in their old age. And how deserverdly they bask in our admiration, for on Sunday, even after a run of 57 gruelling miles in the sternest test for veteran and vintage cars yet devised in this country, they still sparkled and gleamed like showroom models, some with engines that shone like the silver on a dining room sideboard and with every part of their make-up—from the rich red leather seating and leather-covered springs to the burnished brass lamps and polished plated handbrakes — bearing the stamp of quality.

more. The quality hand-made product for the privileged few has given way to the mass-produced article for the many. More people can share the facility but the vehicles they drive are destined for a fast life and a short one rather than a steady drive into honoured old age. But we can still derive pleasure from looking at such line old-timers'and recalling the days of craftsman­ ship and elegance they represent—an era in motoring that now seems to have departed forever. The saying “The good old days” may have little relevance in most of its applications, but it certainly rings true in any

reference to motoring. Almost as inspiring as the old vehicles themselves,


however, is the enthusiasm of their owners and drivers. It is refreshing to think that in these days of_samcness and conformity and Iaid-on entertainment, in this age oL TV and bingo, there are still a great number of people —and fortunately a growing number—who can make their own pleasure and can use their knowledge and skill to create and enjoy a satisfying hobby.

people were considering the implications of two reports prompted by the very multiplicity of these old vehicles’ successors and the problems they have caused. One of the reports “Cars for cities” is based on recommenda­ tions to the Ministry of Transport from a high-level study group set up three years ago, and the other “Better use of town roads” is a follow-up of the Buchanan report of 1963 and the Smeed Report of 1964

It urges tax incentives to induce motorists to buy and use small two-or-four seat cars designed for city commuting.

maximum use out of the scarce and congested road space by discouraging the less essential forms of traffic. It is concerned mainly with the effectiveness of road pricing, a system of charging motorists on congested roads for the distance travelled or the time spent on them, at rates varying according to the degree of con­ gestion. And the importance of doing something about congestion is shown by its cost to the country estimated to be between £500 million to £1,000 million

In a foreword, Mrs. Casllc says it is not certain that

to ease the problem of inter-town communications, the problem within towns is becoming more and more serious, with just too many people wanting to use the same space at the same time. Some kind ot induce­ ment for some of them to use the space at a different time, or to use alternative space, will have to be devised. Somehow we have got to reconcile the motorists

Such are the problems that stem from the astomsh-

In truth, the cause of it all. Yet when we look at their innocent adventurous appearance we feci sure they never really meant it.

What Post Office absence will


mean to elderly BY JOAN WRIGHT


THE NEWS that Clitheroc’s MP, Sir Frank Pearson, is supporting their plea for a continuation of sub post-office facilities at Shaw Bridge, when the existing premises close to-day (Friday), has brought new heart to many elderly people living in the district. But hand in hand with the gratitude they feel to a number of people who have taken up cudgels on their


pensions. For some this is a physical impossibility. For others whose limbs are stif­ fened by rheumatism and other ailments, it will mean a painful effort to cover, on foot, the extra distances


involved. They also fear having to


cross busy roads, because they cannot nip quickly across out of the path of approaching vehicles, and the thought of having to do so, particularly for those whose sight or hear­ ing is impaired, is assuming the nature of a nightmare. So much so, in fact, that I am told a number of elderly women suffering from infirmity have been reduced to tears at the prospect.Hardest hit by the sub-office closure will be the old people who have no relatives and friends in the area whom they can nominate as their agent to
