Fords At le Hans
One wouldn't ordinarily attach ixeat importance to
a car race In Europe, or in the United State* for that
matter, but the recent aweep of the priaed Le Man. 24-
hour race by three Ford recta* type* la unusually sig-
nificant .
For years this race has been dominated by. and won
by, Ferrais. More than that, a sales pitch of the Euro-
pean car Industry for years has been that American-
built engines never win the Mg European races, that
European-built engines (the old hand-built myth is us-
ed here too) are better.
This belief was widespread In Europe, deapite its ab-
surdity. In entering into racing In a Mg Way, Ford has
been out to puncture the myth in recent years, and has
finally done it in the Le Mans race, one of the top class-
ics in the sport in Europe
That should make it clear that American-buiit en-

Fishing and Relaxing
For a great many people fishing isn’t the sport and
the excellent recreation that it is supposed to be. Peo-
ple who have fast-paced jobs in our complex society
need to take it easy. If fishing requires the same mad
pace that our daily routine requires, it provides little
recreational value.
The fisherman who doesn’t allow enough time to
drive to his favorite area, and as a consequence has to
drive his automobile at a high rate of speed, the fish-
erman who doesn’t allow enough time for sleep or for a
-good breakfast, the fisherman who works hard at the
lake or stream trying to catch mare fish than anyone
Alse, is going to be in worse shape after his day of rec-
reation is over than before his day of relaxation be-
gan.
The best example of successful fishing that we!
know of is the small boy or the man who sits happily
dangling * hook from a country bridge or a shady
bank. They may not have boats and fine tackle, they __________ _____
may not catch any fish, their relaxed attitude is right, traffic was light. He was not
and they’re having fun. The secret of successful fishing : •* *u certair h* cooW wU1 h!m
is not catching fish, but taking it easy.
‘ light* of a giant Christmas
tree glowed against the cold
black aky tike the test hope of
the world. For a moment the
pinpoints of color seemed to
flow together and Abe Swallow
squinted and tightened Ids grip
on the steering wheel, flexing
each hand in turn, banging on
now not only for control of the
car but to keep himself upright
on the seat
The searing pain in his chest
ano shoulder had lessened,
which was very likely a bad
truncation rather than a good
one, the reaction of shock, the
numbness at waning conscious-
ness. Swallow had always been
a man who dealt with reality,
and the stark fact at that mo-
ment was that be could very-
well be dying.
He was losing blood and
every few moments hi* vision
blurred over He had to stop,
be had to have help and he
had to have tt soon. It was
at best a half an hour s drive
to his borne, and the intermit-
tent freezing rain and snow
that had beer coming down
since early evening made for
leas than ideal road conditions,
particularly at the lake where
darkened store fronts, a jum-
bled, confused panorama of dis-
plays and Christmas decorat. •*
as Swallow fought against the
surging dizziness in a desperate
effort to maintain control of
the car
He was unable to control the
violent swaying of the streets
and buildings The curb rushed
toward him. smashing against
the wheels on the right side of
the car, rocking tt. Hu foot
touched the brake. The vertigo
passed and once more the street
came into sharp focus.
One band left the wheel and
turned up the collar of the ex
pensive topcoat. A bone-deep
ebflJ was creeping through hie
body, a coldness that it seemed
no amount of beat could ever
dispel. Death was close by,
closer than tt had ever been,
hovering palpably and impa-
tiently about the moving car.
At the same time, Swallow was
keenly aware of a curious ob-
jectivity on hi* part, a* If he
were not really involved but
wax simply a spectator
His attention was on a four-
story budding that occupied
half the next block. He turned
