SPORTS AFIELD By TED RESTING A real camnfire appeals to our primitive instincts and is perhaps the chief urge that sends us into the open. In fact, a camp without a wood fire doesn’t seem like a camp. As Col. Townsend Whelen, camping editor of Sports Afield magazine, puts it: “With the wood campfire there is romance, the delicious smell of the smoke, the cheerfulness, and the glow of embers in the even ing. Food roasted, broiled or baked over wood coals has a special allure. And the campfire also shows its superiority when it comes to toasting yourself or drying wet clothes. Such a fire costs nothing, and there is noth ing to transport but your ax.’’ But in spite of all that can be said for an open fire, there are times when a stove is necessary. You cannot heat a closed tent adequately with an open fire— you need one of the leanto or open front type. Yet even with an open tent, in cold weather, ypu woqld be chopping wood all day and hug ging the blaze to keep warm. At many public and roadside campgrounds no firewood may be available. Cooking in the raid is sometimes impossible over an open fire. So there are advantages to the camp stove.. Today the most popular camp stove is one that uses gasoline for fuel, with two or three burners. Some of the new models burn white and leaded gasoline. This type of stove Is ideal, and often a mast for public camping grounds and certain states where nonresidents are prohibited from lighting a wood fire. For any terHtory where fire wood is available the sheet-iron wood-burning stove has decided advantages. The standard A-wall tent seems best adopted to 1 a wood-burning stove. The stove should not be closer than 18 inches to the wall of the tent, which should not have a sewed-in flooK- The telescoping stovepipe badL best go straight up througli tifc roof and it should extend at ' six inches above the peak of your tent outside so the wtatf won’t blow sparks directly 6n tb» canvas. There should be a ***■• guard where the pipe''goes throw*H| the roof, and an asbestos gueri is better than a tin one because if does not rattle on windy days.

DON* WORRY, MA'AM. I'LL KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT/ About 30 years ago General Motors Cor- jtV. poration presented to America a new car called Pontiac. This new car was the direct result of a very specific idea. The Idea was this: to create a car which took its style, its engineering principles and its features from the very best and most expen sive in America—am/ to-build these into a car priced just above the very lowest! Naturally, such an idea produced a wonder ful and highly popular car—a car which mil lions of satisfied owners have driven with outstanding pride and pleasure. Now, nearly three decades later, an entirely new Pontiac has been created for 1955—a car completely new from the ground up! * One thing, however, about the 1955 Pontiac remains unchanged—its basic idea—to offer the American public the very finest car that can possibly be built to sell at a price within easy reach of any new-car buyer. * When you see the new Pontiac on Friday or Saturday—Oct. 29 or 30—you will be im mediately impressed by its remarkable new styling. No other car in the world looks like this new Pontiac! • ■ ■ ■ L '. . ’Mr f ' ' 1 • • . ' ‘ : .y , • ■ ■ When you drive it you will be astonished at its perfqrmance. For the 1955 Pontiac in troduces the powerful new Strato-Streak V-8, an all-new engine that has already been proved in more than 3 million test miles! When you price the new Pontiac you will come face to face with the basic Pontiac idea—you will be agreeably surprised that so much car, so much sparkling newness, so much luxury, so much downright good ness can be priced so near the very lowest. We cordially invite you to come in on Fri day or Saturday and see lor yourself what a superb all-new General Motors masterpiece has been created to carry the wonderful name “Pontiac” for 1955.
