JSS CITY. MICHIGAN PEDALING AROUND IS beautiful By Mike Eliasohn What's the matter? Did r rubber band break?" probably goes back to lor high days, but that 5 the common taunt -ant in good humor, of rse -- when one spotted owner of a small car •ch had broken down, mall cars are a lot more imon these days and bably no one, even in , suggests they are pow- ( d by wound-up rubber ds. Still many Americans en't yet gotten over the 1 that small cars are icthing one buys only if V cannot afford a "regi" car. lany persons unfortunly feel that any distance r half a block should be v'en, not walked. Equally icrous is using a 4,000 nd automobile to carry person.

It perhaps is a good example of how bureaucrats will never work themselves out of a job, as the agency's officials keep coming up with new safety features to require on cars. They're already working on wha t they will require on cars built in 1985. From 1947-69, a car called the King Midget was built in Athens, Ohio. It carried two people, even six-footers, and in its final form, had a 12-horsepower engine. The car was far from perfect. With its small wheels and only one of the two wheels in the rear being driven, it handled very poorly. However, when Special Interest Autos magazine tested one a few years ago, the car averaged 50-70 miles per gallon and achieved a best of 93 mpg. The federal government should allow building of such cars as the King Midget (hopefully, an improved version) or Clyde Wells' little vans. It shouldn't be hard to make a small engine that will comply with pollution standards, and as for safety standards, make sure the car is capable of stopping and that it won't fall apart. Leave the safety bumpers, side guard rails and air bags (an idea that should be discarded) to the larger cars. You might not want to drive to Detroit in one or send your kid off to college in one, but for around-town use, the micro-mini cars should be allowed. It is naive to think that plentiful .supplies of gasoline will last forever, and in the days of decreasing supplies of fuel, cars that get a minimum of 50 mpg make a lot of sense. Hobby Club ends season activities Seventeen attended an outing Monday evening of the Hobby Club which marked the end of the club year. Miss Katie Crane and Mrs. Grant Brown were in charge of arrangements. The group went to Ubly Heights for a seven o'clock dinner. Mrs. Clifford Croft presided over the business meeting in which officers for the coming year were elected as follows: president, Mrs. Frederick Pinney; vice-president, Mrs. F.D.
