The Board has said it will need'both the

At Fowler, Supt. Don Smith said the

"At this time, we don't know how we
are going to pay the deficit off," he said.
The deficit breaks down into a $17,oqO
loss on the Supreme Court decision on
free text books, a $3,500 loss in state
aid payment cutbacks, a $3,200 loss on
the mentally handicapped program, a $4,300
loss in transportation reimbursement from
what the state had estimated they would
pay, and a carry over deficit of $11,000
from the previous year.
SMITH SAID THE board had not decided
what they would do if the millage was
turned down.
«We would probably open and go as
long as we could," he said. *But I don't
think it would be more than one month."

Master plan now officio
ST. JOHNS—The city of St. Johns gained
an official;; master development plan last
Friday when a recently adopted document
was recorded in the office of county register
of deeds. The action culminated almost two
years of effort in updating a similar plan
' drafted in I960;
The, plan outlines use of land within
the city 'based on projected economic and
social factors and will serve as a foundation for zoning ordinance and map currently
being prepared for public presentation. Both
the master plan and ordinance are under
the jurisdictlo n of the city planning and
zoning commission. Serving on that group
are Charles Coletta, Roy.Ebert, Thomas
Hundley, William Morris, Gerald Wilcox,
Lyle Huntoon, Rollin Huard, James Moore
and Mayor Robert Wood. Huard and Moore
serve as chairman and vice chairman.
The master plan, presented in public
hearing in May, was accepted and approved
v by the city commission on June, 3. The
*. 7Upage document is divided into six major
'segments which specifically outline subjects
/' and considerations of the study. Following
opening segments which deal with observations of the present condition of the city and
• an introduction a third section points out
the mechanics employed In working with
the plan and the considerations given to
arrive at the final compilation.
The other three major divisions include
a general analysis of community problems,
the development plan and accomplishment
of the master plan. On the subject of
community problems such considerations
as population, economics, land use, recreation and transportation were included. Also
presented in this section are proposed
needs for public services, such as utilities,
hospital and government facilities.
conditions what might be ten years hence.
As noted by commission members, the
prepared plan of 1960, which projected to
1970, was not too far off from, actual
conditions. With the exception of the location of the new high school and a few
minor zoning changes the 1960 planners
did quite well.
"We hope our updated version will stand
the test as well,* commented Chairman
Rollin Huard. "There has been an extended
effort on the part of every commission
member to explore every possibility before
a decision was made. No .one can see into
the future, but this group studied long and
hard in attempts to determine just what
might happen in the next ten years.*

COMPLETION OF THE* master plan
heralds the final phase of the current
planning and zoning project, which Is
adoption of a zoning ordinance and zoning
map. At present members of the planning
and zoning commission conduct work
sessions each T h u r s d a y evening and
anticipate that byearlySeptemberaflnlshed
proposal can be submitted to the city
commission.
The zoning ordinance will be an updated
and amended version of one adopted a
number of years ago but was found in 1968
to be illegal because of an administrative
oversight in its preparation. The ordinance
will specifically outline approved use of
land within the general areas outlined by
the master plan and the zoning map itself.
The zoning map, for the most part, will be
completed on the findings of the master
plan coupled with current and anticipated
uses.'
Both the zoning ordinanceandzoningmap
will be presented to residents in a public
hearing prior to acceptance.

soup. . .but Alice fed It to the

What surprised me was the
level of several of the inland
lakes. High. Very High. One
lake, Hlghbanks, is a trout lake
and had a sign on the beach
saying so. That beach and sign
are now under 3 feet of water.
THE BOYS WERE happy to
see Pluto and Grandma and Aunt
Barb were happy to be relieved.
We swam and fished, visited
the Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, the Soo Locks, Canada
and the Tumble Inn. We had a
marvelous time. Especially at
the Tumble Inn. Or in Uncle
John's case, the Tumble Out.
ANOTHER LAKE, SOLDIERS,

dealerships, earning wages to
finance their education.
According to Bolen, the most
valuable^part of the program is
the supervised placement training. In a recent survey of graduates', over 90_ percent rated
placement training as a good
learning experience*
"The real value in placement
training is having an opportunity
to put into practice some of the
principles, concepts and techniques learned during the first
six months op campus," Bolen
explains.
"They find that portions of
textbook, lecture and laboratory
material are easier said than
done and don't readily solve all
job problems. It raises many
questions that they can bring
back to the c l a s s r o o m for
discussion during the last six
months of the program."
While in the classroom, the
student receives both technical
and business management instruction. Approximately half his
time is spent w o r k i n g with
machinery and learning about
its operation, maintenance and
service.

Since the red-orange triangle
was made mandatory by the state
legislature in 1967» farm equipment accidents oh the highways
have declined 46 per cent according to Dr. Richard Pfister
of,the agricultural engineering
department at Michigan State
University. Dr. Pfister points
out'that the use of the emblem
does not include bicycles or
v e h i c l e s , whose normal road
speed would . be in excess of
25'miles per hour. Night lighting
and . side reflectors indicating
width are still required. '
•Dr. Pfister urges farmers and
others to keep the SMV emblem
clearly. visible on every piece
of equipment eligible for its
use. Transferring emblems from
one job to another wastes time
and is easily forgotten.
• LANSING-The S t a t e Safety
Commission warns city weekenders and vacationers to keep
a sharp lookout for a bright
orange centered triangle identifying a slow moving vehicle.
• Little over 14 inches per side
in dimension, sometimes .battered and muddy, or peeking
coyly from beneath an overhanging wad of hay, the device is the
escutcheon of a vehicle waddling
along the highway at twenty-five
miles an hour or less.- •
_ Sometimes a good deal less.
REQUIRED BY STATE LAW,
the sign usually distinguishes
farm tractors hauling agricultural machinery, but may be
used for road machinery or slow
moving wagons with loads of
hay or other produce. The important thing to remember—the
Commission says—is t h a t 25
miles or less per hour Is tremendously slower than the SO
to 65 m.p.h. passenger cars,
light trucks, and other commercial vehicles usually travel.
It may seem sheerly stupid to
crash into the vehicle in front,
but this is the common cause of
more than half the accidents
in. the state and of one in five
of the fatal accidents according
to State Police records.
Zooming along at what we
hope is a legal rate, Mr. Driver
may casually note a harvester
or load of produce ahead, but
fail to estimate its snail's pace.
Even at a moderate SO miles
per hour the effect of a rear
end contact could equal hitting
claimed National Farm Safety
Week for July 25 through 31.
An appropriate way to participate would be to use and to watch

AGRICULTURE IN ACTION
by GARY A. KLEINHENN
MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU
" A minimum wage for everyone,
sounds desirable, but is It?
A deeper look uncovers a surprising picture. Yale B r o z e n ,
professor of business economics,
graduate school of business, University of Chicago, discusses the
effects of minimum wage legislation. . .
"It would increase unemployment and increase the burden of
taxes required tosupportwelfare
payments. It would cause further
distress in rural areas and amall
towns and increase the crowding
and deteriorate further the slums
in larger cities. . . It would
make it more difficult for' small
businesses to survive. It would
reduce the. tax revenues of states
at the same time that it increases
the expenditure burden.

made in Washington. It is also
partly a consequence of state
minimum wage laws which cover
many jobs not covered by the federal act.
. "In those states with minimum
wage laws, unemployment is 20
per cent higher than in states
which do not have minimum wage
laws."
The increases also have destroyed the opportunities for a
relevant job educft'.onforyouths,
Professor Brozen says, because
they destroyed beginning jobs for
teenagers. These are the jobs,
he points out, in which teenagers
normally acquire the skills which
make them more productive and
enables them to, earn far more
than the minimum.

THAT THE MARATHON Is

Pollution problems associated
with agriculture, like those in
industry and municipalities, can
affect everyone and can sometimes; be so expensive to solve
that an individual citizen cannot
a f f o r d to undertake t h e t a s k
alone.
Smith said the cost-sharing by
the Government is generally only
a small part of the over-all cost
to the.farmer. This Is because
some types of pollution build up
slowly, finally requiring expensive remedies for control.

Tell Us the Truth!
You who despair of the "lost generation",
You who with "politics plus* has been fed,
List to the new voice alive in the nation
Have courage and hope for the days yet ahead;
Too long we have drifted In calm resignation,
Seeking a miracle in political booth
Now we're fed up with the pap and palaver
Where are the leaders to tell us the truth?
You who have witnessed the shifting of power
Away from Democracy's early ideals
Where can we go to restore truth and vision?
But to new leaders even now in the fields?
When credence In those who betrayed us as leaders
Has led us to discard the fang and the tooth,
Our patience is thin for political patter
We're seeking for men who will tell us the truth!
l
,
Why must we govern free people in secret?
Hiding the facts that should challenge free men?
Are not our decisions all. free and above board
Why need they gag and blindfold us again;
Hear us again as we seek for new guidancel
Help us respond with the vigor oi youth,
- Rise up ye men of the new generation,
Make us to know the freedom of truth!

August 1, 1946
Hester B r a d l e y , Michigan's
only woman teacher of vocational
agriculture, has been transferred
from her position as agricultural
teacher at the James Couzens
Agricultural School in Bath, to
a similar job with the Richland
Rural Agricultural In Richmond.
She has taught at Bath for the
past four years.
Only one thing bugs me about
driving to Detroit to see the
Tigers or ogle the go-go girls;
I can't get there without passing
by Oakland University where they
have the Meadow Brook Music
Festival every summer,
"We have got to go to that
festival sometime," my wife always says. "Sixten Ehrling is
conducting the Detroit Sumphone

Pinchas Zukerman on the violin."
"Yeah, we really gotta," I
say. But, deep In my beer-can
heart, I know it can never happen.
Wrong. It happened. An invitation came from Donald
O'Dowd, president of Oakland
University, He wanted my wife
and me to join him for cocktails and dinner at his home,
after which we would all go
to the concert.
. "I think it's time we got some
of that culture," I told my wife.
"You just can't resist the free
booze and food," she said.
I don't know howlever married
a dame with so little couth.
Anyway, that Sunday, after
watching the Tigers blow one In
the 10th to the lousy Senators
on TV, we were off to Oakland
U. In search of culture.
P r e s i d e n t O'Dowd appears
amazingly young to be head of
a large university. "You don't

My wife nudged my gently,

my gin off the table.
This set me to t h u m b i n g

was waving the baton that night.
A few fays later, Andre Previn
was taking over, and then Mitch
Miller, followed by Skltch Henderson, Sixten was also scheduled several more tmes.
What surprised me was that
all these guys lead Sixten's orchestra—the Detroit Symphony,
"You mean guys like Previn
and Fielder don't have their
own groups? They just come into
town with a little stick and take
over some other guy's band?"
I asked my wife,
"Lick your gin,» she answered,
"Major League baseball should
look into this idea. They could
station 2 teams permanently in
each city. Only the managers
would travel around, taking
turns managing each team
against* each other. They'd save
millions in t r a n s p o r t a t i o n
costs," I said, "And managers
are as important to baseball
t e a m s as conductors are to
orchestras. If changing leaders %s
can make the same violinists
and horn blowers sound different, why wouldn't switching
managers improve a 3rd baseman's throw to first?"
"Quiet," my wife said, "someone might hear you. Any idiot
knows that different conductors
conduct different types of music
and that's what makes the same
orchestras sound different."
"At $5 a seat, it smells gypy
to me. These traveling conductors are only in town for a
day or so. The musicians read
every note off the sheets. The
conductor could mail them his
orchestrations and it wouldn't
make any difference who waved
the stick," I said. "Did Glenn
Miller lead Tommy Dorsey's
band? No. They all traveled from
town to town in buses, wlthBetty.^

Our discussion ended when the
music began. And my wife gave
me a triumphant look every time
she caught me tapping my foot
to Arthur Fielder's pop tunes.
"You did enjoy it, didn't you?"
she insisted as we headed back
home.
* "Yes," I admitted, "butlwould
have enjoyed it more if the
Tigers had won today,"
"You just ain't got no culture,"
she said.

Are You In As Good Shape
As Your Car Should Be?
It's one thing to get your car in good, condition for
that vacation trip. It's equally important to make sure
you are in good condition — both physically and mentally — for those long hours behind the wheel.
The following are suggestions on making sure your
trip will be a safe one as well as a pleasant one:
• If you are tired, stop driving. Pace yourself; apply
common sense.
• Eat lightly to avoid sluggishness.
• Don't rely on drugs or pills to prevent drowsiness.
Keep something handy to chew. Light snacks help keep
you alert.
• If you are driving alone, talk} sing, whistle or play
the radio. This also keeps you alert.
• Never drive more than three hours without stopping for a stretch or a cup of coffee.
• Avoid driving at a constant speed. By varying your
rate of travel slightly* you can help combat "highway
hypnosis.*1
• Keep at least one window or vent open for a steady
flow of fresh air.
FOR THE ROAD
• Rely on reflectorized road markings for visual
clues. Use shoulder lines to keep "to the right" of roadway, specially on two-way roads.
• Keep glancing across the road surface between
center and shoulder lines to keep eyes alert and functioning properly. Don't focus your vision on a single
light or line ahead. This tires eyes.
• Drive slower at night to compensate for darkness.

Cutting Down
on Emissions
Further reduction in harmful'emissions from automobile engines will be gained
soon by the introduction of
catalytic converters.
According to Arvin Automotive Aftermarket, a catalytic converter can eliminate
most of emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by oxidizing them.
One of the Arvin experimental converters contains a
bed of catalytic pellets
through which the polluted
gases pass. As the gases go
through the bed, the catalytic action of the converter
causes combustion or oxidation of these pollutants Into
harmless gases.
Two such experimental
converters were successfully
used In 50,000 and 68,000-mile
tests in cars operating on
lead-free gasoline.
The converter in which the
catalyst is placed can be a
muffler-like container located
near the engine compartment. A conventional muffler
and exhaust system is still
needed to reduce noise levels
from the exhaust to a low
level.
One car manufacturer has
already indicated that Some
1073 models will be equipped
with a version of catalytic
converter.

"Dear, will you round up
the children while I check
the car out? We have to leave
in five minutes."
Can you imagine yourself
— or any driver — going
through a formal check-up
procedure every time you use
your car? However, if you
were an airplane pilot, you
would be- required to check
a number of things before every take-off.
Called a pre-fiight inspection, this pilot's check-up involves scrutiny of fuel and
oil, control surfaces, instruments, ignition system, carburetor heat control, this
switch and that lever. It is
pretty complicated until you '
know your airplane. But
know it you must before you
are granted a license to fly.
These checks become routine to a pilot, because he is
personally responsible for the
M//M
To wash your car thoroughly in minutes!
condition of his aircraft. He
cannot blame anyone else if
he runs out of oil at 10,000
feet or, worse, out of power
as his wheels leave the
ground.
It would be impractical for
a driver to go through a pilot's complicated pre-fiight
check every time he decided
to drive around the corner,
but a few simple precautions
can* save you untold inconvenience . . . possibly agony.
TIRES . . . Take a walk
around your car to sec if any
tires look low. "Watch for
bulges, cuts or bruises they
may have suffered when you
hit a curb or drove over a
rock. Spend a few minutes
occasionally taking a close
look at the tread. Even when
tread looks all right at first
glance, it may not be deep
enough to keep you out of
trouble on a wet, smooth surface.
STEERING . . . A pilot's
directional controls are his
rudder, aileron and elevators,
which he must check before
every flight. A driver can
check his steering in seconds:
A hand on the Bteering wheel
as you get into the car is all
it takes.
Move the wheel two inches
to sec that the front wheels
respond. If your car has power steering, make your test
with the engine running. Listen, too, for the squealing
noise that warns of impending trouble in the power
steering pump or belt.
LIGHTS . . . In nearly all
vehicle safely inspections,
lights lead the list of defects.
They are either out of focus
or just plain out.
Imagine a pilot saying to
his passenger during a night
flight, " I must remember to
get those identification lights
fixed one of these days.
Would you mind watching for
any planes that seem to be'
coming too-close?"
This pilot's chances still
would be better than those of
the driver who, because he
forgot' to have a light fixed,
hopes other drivers will see
him. A walk-around light inspection takes only a few seconds. Your service man will
do it for you (including a
check of the brake lights and
turn signals) if you ask him
to.
BRAKES . . . If our brakes
stopped us short of the rear
wall when wc pulled into the
garage last night, we assume
they will stop us today. Don't count on it. Instead, make
these two easy checks before
leaving home:
First, hold steady pressure
on the-brake pedal for 15
seconds before moving the »
car. If the pedal feels spongy
or fades toward the floor,
your brakes need immediate
attention.
Second, before you have
to jam on the brakes on the
highway, see that the c a r
stops straight and true at
home. Brakes that pull to one
side or the other because of
overnight dampness can be
your undoing. Fluid leakage
can .develop unexpectedly,
too, and this can catch you
with an a b r u p r grab to one
side.
(
Anytime you need your car washed, just drive on out to Randolph's Speedy Car Wash. They're open 24
hours a day to serve .you. You'll find eleven sell-service bays and one automatic for those who like
speedy, clean wash jobs. The automatic bay has three processes, (1) washes, (2) rinses, and (3) waxes,

Camera Fully Inspected!
Before leaving on a motor
trip, the average driver is
likely to have his car inspected to make sure it is running
properly and smoothly.
In the same vein, the camera depended upon for the
vacation record should also
receive the same careful inspection. There is nothing as„
aggravating or disappointing^
as discovering .those fabulous
pictures you thought you
took are all a blur or'nothing,
at all.
The easiest way to check
the camera, especially if it
has not been used for a while,
is to shoot a test roll of film.
If the pictures are satisfac- tory, you can be reasonably
sure your camera is working
properly. If not, take it to a
dealer and have him check
it.
Photo Inventory
when filing ari insurarice
claim for lost or stolen property.
Instead, of "packing" your
camera, for the trip, keep it
out of suitcases and handy
for any scene that presents
itself during the trip. Seeing
a photographic scene is
worthless if no camera is
available.
Facte on Film
A' word of advice — film is
perishable. Heat and humidity are particularly harmful
and have the greatest effect
on color film. In summer,
dori't place your camera or
film in the. trunk, glove compartment or on the rear deck.
The best place for the camera
is on the seat beside you. Extra film can be carried in a
cooling chest.
A profitable' "before-leaving" photograph is one picturing the things you are
taking with you. While a
photo inventory will not prevent you from losing Something, it11 is one good way not
to leave things behind. Each
time you* move on, check the
photo and see. if you have
everything. The same .photo
record could also be handy

Chanceof Mishap
Is Estimated By
Safety Council
What are a driver's chances
of having an accident In his
lifetime? According to the
National Safety Council, it
-depends partly on the distance he drives.
A person who drives 12,000
miles a year has one chance
in three of having some kind
of an accident. There is one
chance in four that damage
will be limited to property,
one in 40 that there will be
at. least one injury, and one
in 1,300 for a fatality.
One who travels 8,000 miles
a year stands one chance in
five for any accident, one
chance in six for a property
damage accident, one in 55
for an injury accident, and
one in 2,000 for a fatal one.
A driver who goes 4,000
miles a year has one chance
in 10 for any accident, one
in 11 that only property will
be damaged, one in 110 that
there will be personal injur-,
ies, and one. in 4,000 that it
will result in death.
A driver must keep his car
— and himself — in the best
possible traveling condition
to improve those odds, the
Council says.

Anti-Pollution
Devices Are
Built Into
'71 Cars
Starting with the 1971
models, all new cars sold
throughout the United States
feature fuel evaporative control systems to help reduce air pollution 'that may
be caused by automobiles.
DRIVE A
•—*—*—*—*
Unlike exhaust or crankcase emissions which become
a factor only when the engine is running, the evaporation process'is a continuing
one and is a factor when a
vehicle is at rest, as well as
when it is under power.
Evaporative emissions from
the fuel tank and carburetor
are believed responsible for
20 percent of the-total emissions of hydrocarbons from
cars that do not have controls. Hydrocarbons, parts of
fuel not burned in the normal combustion process, are
released into the air by both
the exhaust system and by
evaporation from the fuel
tank and carburetor.
The evaporated fuel, which
formerly was vented into the
atmosphere, now will be
eliminated by a system which
stores the vapors in the
crankcase or in activated
. charcoal canisters until they
can be drawn into the engine
and consumed in the combustion process.
Federal Requirement
Evaporative control systems were required for new
vehicles sold in California
starting with the 1970 models. Their introduction, under
federal requirements, on a
national scale is the third
big step auto makers have'
taken in the past decade to
eliminate emissions as a fac- '
tor in air pollution.
The first two steps were
eliminating emissions from
crankcase ventilation and reducing pollutants that emanated from the exhaust
pipe.
On cars built prior to the
introduction of emission controls in the early 1960*s, 60
percent of hydrocarbon pollutants were traced to the
exhaust pipe, 20 percent to
evaporation and 20 percent j
to crankcase ventilation.
Pollutant Reduction
Improvements in the design of engine components
and modification of many
engine adjustments resulted
in sizeable reductions of pollutants emitted through the
exhaust-pipe.
Hydrocarbons which were
formerly released into the
atmosphere from' engine
crankcases are now sealed
and recirculated for burning in the combustion process.
The motorist can now do
his share towards obtaining
cleaner air by maintaining
his car.

To those who read about
the single car accident in the
next morning's paper, that
accident may have looked
like another case of a drunk
losing control of his car. But
the California Highway Patrol wasn't satisfied with the
explanation.
They studied the victim
and his car as part of their
investigation of the relationship between mechanical defects and single car highway
fatalities.
A blood alcohol test showed
he had not been drinking. A
thorough check of the car
showed the following:
cle went out of control, hit
a guard rail and struck a
bridge abutment. The driver
was killed.
Make sure your car is in
top condition before leaving
on your trip.

The power steering belt
and fan belt were loose.
The fan hub was loose on
the water pump shaft, the
right front lower ball joint
shank failed at the edge of
. the right support arm* This
caused the suspension at the
right front wheel to fail.
Thus the driver lost control of his car and left the
freeway, causing the fatal
accident.
This case was but one in a
detailed study of 409 fatal
single vehicle accidents
where 29% of the vehicles Involved had one or more mechanical defects. Two out of
three of these defects either
caused the accident or contributed to it.
In 6.4% of the accidents
investigated, a mechanical
deficiency was directly responsible.
The two-year study disclosed 172 faulty mechanical
systems in 119 vehicles. The
most commonly observed
problems were In braking
systems, accounting for Z5%
of all defects found. Next
were steering system defects
at 26%, with tires ranking
third at 21%. Additional factors, lumped together as miscellaneous (lighting, shock
absorbers, exhaust systems,
windshield wipers and others) accounted for 18%.
Nearly all reported defects
were attributed to wear and
lack of maintenance rather
than design and assembly
flaws.
Another accident reported
by the California researchers
involved a vehicle whose engine locked up when, at high
speed on a freeway, a connecting-rod broke.. The vehi-
Help stop pollution
You can help,
A recent tune-up clinic conducted by
engineering students at the University of
Michigan found that on average, a tune-up will
reduce a car's exhaust pollution by 55%.

You'll have a better, smoother running, more
economical car.

When you get that prevacation lubrication at your
favorite service outlet, you're
likely getting more than a
freshly-greased chassis.
Chances are you're also taking out an anti-breakdown
insurance policy.
According to Chek-Chart
Corporation, more service
outlets are conducting safety
inspections every time the
car is on the hoist for a lubrication. The importance of
such inspection is increasing
since extended lubrication
intervals recommended by
manufacturers mean that
cars are on the hoist less frequently.
Chek-Chart recommends
the following components be
inspected during a lubrication and any-necessary defects be corrected:
•
Brake system
G
•
D
•
•
Q
•

Exhaust system
Fuel system
Cooling system
Drive line units
Threaded fasteners
Seat belts
Electrical system
Lights and horn
Locks and latches
Visibility items such as
glass, wipers, washers,
mirrors and defrosters
In inspecting these systems, a trained mechanic will
check for various fluid leaks
or low levels of lubricants.
Particularly sensitive areas
are brake fluid reservoirs,
master cylinder leakage,
power steering fluids, shock
absorber and drive line lubricants.
If you spot any leakage on
your driveway or garage floor,
bring it to the attention of
your mechanic.
Make Safe Skid
Recovery With
These Moves
Henk de Vries cites the following procedures to get the
wheel rolling again:
Cut engine power but not
so violently as to worsen the
skid. The technique is the
same for a rear wheel skid
where the rear of the ear
tends to swing frontwards or
the four wheel skid where all
wheels are sliding.
In a car with manual transmission lift your foot off the
gas and declutch (depress the
clutch pedal). With an automatic transmission, all you
need to do is take your foot
of the gas and the torque
converter will slow you down.
In a front wheel skid, us' ually induced by cornering
too fast, the technique is different. With an automatic
transmission, gear down and
with manual shift, do not
declutch.
Then, in all skid conditions, countersteer out of the
skid by turning the front
wheels in the same direction
the rest of the car is skidding.
Immediately turn the wheel
around in the opposite direction or you risk a, dangerous
second skid.'
If you had, tried to get out
of a skid in -the time it took
you to read the'above paragraphs, iti-.would' have been
too late to h*elp> That's why

Most Tire Repairs Are Temporary
Careful drivers have their
tire pressure checked regularly, as the National Safety
Council advises. However, in
the event of a flat tire, do you
know how to have it repaired
properly? Many of the tires
supposedly receiving "permanent repair" do not meet
,safety tests.
The Council warns that external repairs on tubeless
tires are good only for up to
100 miles of travel at speeds
not exceeding 50 miles per
hour. It is recommended that
these temporary repairs be
used only in emergencies.
For safe and permanent
repair, a tire must be sealed
from the inside. The use of
an outside plug is only a
temporary repair. Unless the
tire is removed* from the
wheel, it is impossible to
know if the inner layer is intact and not broken, damage
which is critical to the tire.

While waiting for a special
theft protection device to be
installed on your new car or
"old faithful," there are several things that can be done
to prevent having your car
stolen.
Keep your car doors locked
at all times.
Never keep valuables inside your car.
Keep only necessary Items
in your trunk.
ter car theft is to keep your
car parked under a light at
night, if possible.
YOU DON'T NEED PULL
If your car begins skidding
or, pulling to the side when
you apply your brakes, it
may be a sign that your
braking system needs attention. One brake is probably
exerting less stopping force
than the other — thus causing the skid.

Step for Safety
Wear Seat Belts
American drivers are, in
large number, fooling themselves into disregarding the
biggest single step they can
take to improve their own
survival odds in case of an
automobile crash, .says the
National Safety Council.
Harry Porter, Jr., NSC traffic safety director, pointed
out that "the best estimates
indicate at least 8,000 to
10,000 lives a year would be
saved if every car occupant
wore his safety belts, every
time he got into a car."
"Beyond question," Porter
said, "the full use even of the
old fashioned lap belts would
have a massive effect in saving lives and preventing injuries. And now that combination lap-and-shoulder
belts are required onfall cars
sold in America, even greater
protection is available."
Motorists who choose to
sit on or beside their safety
belts, instead of within them,
in most cases are "relying on
imitation excuses — not genuine reasons — to rationalize
their behavior. Clear thinking will show that there aren't any Teal reasons."

The wise motorist carries
a fully-charged fire extinguisher in his car at all times.
When you need it there is
no substitute.
The preferred extinguisher
is the stored pressure dry
chemical type. This type can
be used on any kind of fire
and does not create toxic
gases as do vaporizing liquid
types. It should have at least
2(6 pounds capacity.
Two kinds of such extinguishers are available. One
uses a throw-away refill cylinder. The other must be
taken to an extinguisher
service shop for recharging.
Either is suitable.
The extinguisher should be
reserved for emergency use
only. If you intend to use an
extinguisher for other purposes; such as putting out a
campfire, carry spares.

Front Wheels That Wander
Like Dog That Won't Heel
Have you ever watched the
owner of a poorly trained
pup trying to walk his dog
on a leash?
By the end of the stroll,
they both are exhausted: the
master from continually trying to pull his errant pooch
back on the track, and the
dog from tugging the other"
way and having walked at
least twice the distance his
master covered.
After a few sessions in a
good obedience course, the
pup heels comfortably and
an evening's outing becomes
a relaxing time for both.
This is not unlike the case
of the car with faulty wheel
alignment. The front wheels
want to head for the gutter,
while the rest of the car (under its -driver's influence)
tries to go straight ahead.
- Tire Obedience School
By the end of a long day
on the road, the driver is
worn out and so are the wandering tires. They have been
literally dragged sideways
back on track every inch of
the way.
Obedience training for
wheels, of course, is accomplished in an alignment
shop. A trained technician
checks them for accuracy of
toe-in, camber, caster and
the other geometric factors
that make the car steer and
handle properly.
Pointers on . . .
Proper
Tire Care
Proper tire inflation is essential. Underinflation causes
extreme sidewall flexing,
builds up excessive heat, and
causes rapid wear on the tire
tread's outer edges.
Overinflation causes tires
to run hard, subjects them to.
damage and weakening of
the carcass, and causes excessive wear in the middle of
the tread.
Check your owner's manual for recommended tire
pressure.
* * *
Inspect tire exterior regularly for excessive or abnormal wear, fabric breaks, and
cuts. Remove imbedded foreign matter.
Add an extra three or four
pounds of pressure to cold
tires prior to long trips where
you anticipate driving at
sustained high speeds.
* * *
Replace tires when tread is
thinner than 2/32 of an inch,
of the "wear Indicator" on
the tire appears.
* * *
Use the "air loss" method
of spotting a potential tire
failure. A tire that loses three
or more pounds of pressure
-in a week or less, when the
-others remain the same,
should be removed and inspected.
Carry a spare tire that is
properly inflated and in good
condition.
THINK
Driving with a burned out
herfdlamp or broken tail light
is thoughtless and dangerous.
Give your lights a thought
and light the way. Check
them for condition and aim.
Make sure you are seen in the
right places.
Part of this project is a
close examination of all the
linkage and suspension parts
involved hvthe steering and
suspension system. Loose
parts cannot be kept in
alignment.
Tire Life Reduced
If your car has power
steering, which does a lot of
the struggling for you, you
may be unaware of misalignment. One finger on the
steering wheel keeps you going straight ahead. But your
tires know the difference.
You may be reducing the
life of your tires by 20 or 30
percent just trying to pull
them back on course. Their
increased resistance will
cause your car to use more
gas, too.
Unlike the educated pup,
your car needs a refresher
course' every six months in
the form of an alignment
checkup and, If necessary,
adjustment.
You and your car both will
be happier for it.

New Handbook on Motoring Safety Says . . .
Cars Now Better Than Drivers
The Safe Driving Handbook;
Grosset & Dunlop, 127 pages
Since the first self-propelled vehicle moved over a
road, there have been thousands of improvements made
in the car. In that time, there
have been no basic improvements in the operator: man.
Based on this premise, the
Aerospace Education Foundation, with an assist from
the United States Air Force,
has published The Safe Driving Handbook, which, it is
hoped, is a step in the right
direction to help improve the
driver.
The foundation makes reference to the difference between the flyer and the automobile driver. They conclude
that driving on a city street
is more complicated than flying. Their reasoning is that
conditions on the ground'are
more challenging than in the
air.
The Safe Driving Handbook covers the whole spectrum of driving situations,
including considerable emphasis on driver personality
and attitude, important factors in the overall safety of
the operator. It also states
that boredom, a main reason
for driver inattention, is involved in nearly every form
of unsafe driving.
The handbook reduces safe
driving techniques to basic
fundamentals: where and
how to sit in the driver's seat
so you become less fatigued
and therefore more alert;
techniques in braking,
speeding, passing and stopping; information on recovering from a skid; importance of conscientious automobile maintenance; estimating following distance
for safe braking; right of
way at intersections, and
hundreds of other well-explained and illustrated tips.
The book also describes in
detail how a driver can judge
his own driving ability. This
factor is important when you
consider that even the worse
drivers feel they are among
the best, according to the
authors. This observation
was made when scientists
interviewed drivers who were
in bad collisions and it was
learned.that 80 percent of
these drivers were convinced
that the other driver was to
blame.
When asked if they thought
a refresher course in operating the automobile would
help them avoid accidents in
the future, only one in 20
thought it could teach them
anything. Only two percent
of these drivers thought that
courtesy was. important ,in
any way when driving.
For emergency situations
the handbook even has tips
on "How To Choose What To
Hit" to help avoid possible
serious injury- Choose a utility pole, for-instance, instead
of a large tree or a boulder
and the impact is cushioned.
The information in the
booklet has been successful
in reducing the number of
automobile accidents among
Air Force personnel and reducing fatalities by 25%. It
is scheduled in the course of*
study for airmen. It could
also be studied usefully by
all drivers — whether they
are just starting or have been
driving for 30 or 40 years.
SMOKE SCREEN
If you're looking for another reason to quit smoking,
consider your driving safety. Tobacco smoke leaves a
dulling film on the inside of
your windshield. The result
is reduced visibility and
stronger glare. If you do
smoke, periodically clean the
inside of the windshield with
a solution of water and vinegar to wash away tobacco
film.
