AMSTERDAM-
What is to become of city centres? Whether they are quaint 17th century centres like Amsterdam in the Netherlands, designed for .the horse and buggy era, or broad - avenued like Montreal, traffic at peak hours - has reached the impossible stage.
Now a 37-year-old Dutchman thinks he has found the answer and his plan is arousing worldwide interest. He is Luud Schimmelpennick who became famous a few years ago as the leader of the Amsterdam white-suited 'Trovo movement, and who then launched a "white bicycle" scheme in Amsterdam, These bicycles wereta be placed throughout the city by the municipality for free use by people travelling to and from their worl^The plan was never reaHzed. This time Schimmelpennick is suggesting—white cars.
This is a fleet of small, battery-operated cars which is hoped will be on the streets this summer, 'in the U.S. they call them people-movers." he says, "and Ger; many and Japan have a version as well. But they got the idea from my Witkarren plan, which I first announced . in 1968.■■
Looking like overgrown toys, the Whitecars have an electric motor and can go up to 30 kilometres an hour. They have room for two people on bright orange seats and a limited amount of baggage space. The steering wheel is sports - car-sized and the cars are simple to operate (althoughSchimmel-

Amsterdam--the city which is experimenting with small battery-operated cars this summer. These cars with an electric motor can go up to 30 kilometres an hour.
pennicks request to allow people without a driving li-vense to operate them has been refused.)
Schimmelpennick, who had a seat on Amsterdam's city council until three years ago, designed the chassis. "The first two demonstration models are already on display for Amsterdanimers to see. And when the plan gets going, there will be initially 100 cars for a maximum 3,000 people to drive." he savs.
To get a key you have to become a member of the Whitecar system by paying an initial fee of about $16 and $8'key money. The key automatically registers the length of time the driver has been out. His bill, calculated at a Dutch dime (less than three Canadian cents) a minute will be debited weekly to the driver's bank account. Schimmelpennick estimates that the average ride will cost under 20 Canadian cents.

On your way to Israel, see KLM's Amsterdam, a city rich in Jewish history
A Stopover in Amsterdam is the perfect complement to your visit to Israel. It's your chance to see the emotion-filled Anne Frank House; the splendid Portuguese Synagogue, one of the world's largest; the fascinating diamond-cutting works, and much more.
KLM's low-priced group departures to Israel give you this chance, combining up to 4 nights in Amsterdam with up to 15 nights in Israel; depending on the departure date you select. (Of course, KLM offers popular low-priced group departures direct to Tel Aviv as well.)
But the optional stop-over in Amsterdam is only one of the good reasons to fly KLM to Israel. Some others?
• Choice of lowest possible group airfares.
• Even lower Youth Fare for people 12-21.
• High frequency of departures: every week.
• Best tax-free shopping in the world at Amsterdam airport.
• Kosher food on all KLM flights when requested at time of booking.
• Choice of land: arrangements available if required.
So if you're planning a trip to Israel, plan it with KLM. See your Travel Agent for all the details,
