General Motors will offer convertible models in its fall lineup marking a shift as Ford Chrysler and American Motors discontinue soft tops. Convertible production peaked in 1965 with over 500 000 units, declined to 72 000 in 1972, and rising air conditioning plus safety concerns helped end the era.

Church School Bingos Closed at Vancouver Parish
Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Vancouver halted Tuesday night bingo games after an attorney general notice that the parish lottery license was not renewed due to prize distributions. The Catholic school serves about 179 students, employs seven teachers, and faces potential funding gaps if activities do not restart, with the parish ordered to allocate 25 percent of gross proceeds to church or charity and a shortfall cited in prior years. The parish plans to appeal while seeking alternatives to operate through the next school year.
