Appreciate Ideas To Make Motoring More Fun , An increasingly popular • area of gift giving, especially for dashing young Dads who make a hobby of one form or another of motoring, develops out of the great variety of handsome and useful car accessories now on the market. As an example, if Pop is an “auto rally” enthusiast —a popular sport in which Mom and the kids can participate as passengers — he probably would be thrilled by a gift of a set of timers that can be mounted on the dashboard. They furnish him not only with the time of day, but with much desired “elapsed time” readings. Maybe it’s a set of “head rests” to protect against whiplash that would please Dad; or a set of the new bumper guards. Any automobile-driving Dad is always a candidate for a gift of driving gloves, driving glasses, one of the new cloths to wipe his car, a club emblem or a set of his initials.

If Dad’s a doer, loves to use tools around the house, and has graduated to doing bigger things like planning to put in a playroom, here’s a chance to help. Give him a portable power tool for Father’s Day. Three of the most popular and more easily used by inexperienced “Hl-do-it-myself” fathers are the portable electric drill, sabre (jig) saw and a sander. But, if he’s at the point where he needs a good all-around saw that will perform a variety of jobs, he’s ready for a reciprocating saw. It’s essentially a motor-driven hand saw. Why is the “All Purpose” saw so versatile? It makes vibrationfree cuts in wood, metal, plastic; cuts scrolls and valances for over windows, and pocket cuts in panelling for outlets, holes for pipes

through wall or floot. There are six different blade positions, and about two dozen different blades to choose from with blade lengths up to 12 inches. Some blades are non-stick coated for smoother cutting of green, wet and gummy wood indoors or out, for less blade drag, and rustproofing of the blade. Additional versatility comes from the auxiliary handle which may be set in five holding positions for hard-to-get-at locations and complete flexibility of operation. The small fry will not only go for the latter idea, but may also want to fill in on some good hand tools Dad is missing — hammer, rule, screwdriver, chisel — all great low-cost, practical gifts.

Focus Is on Gifts for Camera Buffs

Breathes there a man who has won the right to have someone call him “Dad” who doesn't have a camera these days? The answer to that question about Dads is “darned few,” and the reason for the answer is perfectly understandable. The arrival of Father’s first born is always a signal for the start of a visual record of the growth and development of his first pride-and-joy and the others who follow in years to come. But whether Dad has a camera now or not, don't let that stop you when it comes to gifting him on Father’s Day this year, with something from the wide and fascinating area of photographic equipment. For example, if he owns a camera now, as most Dads do, maybe this is the year to up-date his equipment with a new model that can relieve him of the problem of figuring his exposures. Or, if he has a satisfactory still camera, why shouldn't this be the year to give him a movie camera — extending his opportunity to make story-telling pictures of the family in action. This need not be as expensive as one might think. Actually, because of the variety of models available, you can write your own ticket. But it would be best to choose the most fully automated model your budget will allow, to assure him best results.

He Likes Little Extras In His Home Workshop

An hour spent shopping in the local hardware or department store will let the do-it-yourself enthusiast know the family really appreciates him this Father’s Day. In addition to Dad's traditional gift from the family a selection of smaller items for his workshop will make this a Father’s Day he won’t soon forget. For givers unfamiliar with workshop materials here are a few ideas, suggested by the 3M Company. Each item would be a helpful addition to any do-it-yourself shop. What about drill bits for Dad’s electric drill? There are all kinds of bits for a wide variety of jobs and chances are the man of the house can make good use of some new ones. An assortment of various grades of sandpaper will come in handy the next time the “repairman in residence” begins a new wood-

It should be remembered that any camera — whether still or movie camera — can make either black and white or color pictures. It's the film that counts here. So why not buy him some rolls of both — but probably more rolls of color than black and white because he'll more than likely prefer to have color shots. Most Dads are sophisticated picture takers, these days. Therefore, if you are in the least doubtful about what to choose for him. discuss this with the experts in the camera stores, whose advice can lead to a most successful solution to the gifting problem. If Dad is what they call a “dedicated advance amateur” photographer who has his own private darkroom, and you want to choose some accessor]/ as his gift, better make sure to discuss this with the experts first.

working project, while blades for sabre and hack saws are always a welcome addition to any shop. Among useful items in Dad's shop are household glues. He uses them for all kinds of jobs, from minor repairs to major construction. What's mßre, since no one glue can do all the jobs correctly, the do-it-youirselfer uses a variety of glues. The entire range of glues can be found in a Glue-it-Yourself Center including Super Strength adhesive. Epoxy adhesive, Contact cement, and Wood and Paper glue and a handy guide which tells what glues what. Other workshop items that are sure to be appreciated this Father’s Day are tape measures, screwdrivers, assortments of screws and nails, adhesive and electrical tape, putty and solder. The clerk in the hardware or department store can be a great help in choosing the proper sizes and amounts.
