ELLSWORTH DICKSON is leaving on a jet}

plane — tomorrow — for a new career with a
Honolulu-based community newspaper, ending
a 13-year association with the North Shore
News. And what better way could we cover that
Story than to let the North Shore’s Inquiring

} Reporter have the last words in his own style.

There's no question today. Instead, it’s:
Good luck,
Ellsworth

Two Tone Sally

Mrs. A. rolled into Crash Pad in her '78 Ford.
She’s been living in the hinterlands for years
where paved roads are still a thing of the future.
Poor Sally (the 78 Ford), had move gravel chips
on her lower half than a rainbow trout has
speckles. Paint was definitely in order. But,
Mrs. A told us she didn’t have the money. A
common problem, don’t we all know. So, we
painted the bottom half, added some pin-
striping and what do you know, a classy two-
toned Saily was the result. Mrs. A loved it. And
the really good part is, it cost her less than what
a full job would be.

Glamour, Dept.

There’s a trend happening. Besides short hair
for men, I mean. North American auto makers
are following ihe lead of Mercedes and Volvo.
We are seeing Icts of “Pearls” on new cars. No,
not the ones from oysters. Paint. Pinks and
greys and popular pearl colours. Remember'
. “candy apples”? Well, pearls are the glamour
colours of the eighties. The colours are deep
and have a long life expectancy. That’s because
‘there’s a clear coat over the coloured paint.
That means pollution and our lovely weather
can’t get to the paint. Crash Pad is up on the
latest formulas and techniques for new car
- owners. Or, if you just want. the latest look in
car fashions, come to Crash Pad: ‘Ve're waiting .
