An untuned car is
"won't start" trouble
This winter, More cars won't start be-
cause of worn spark plugs than old
batteries.Worn spark plugs? You'd bet-
ter believe it! Especially in Whiter.
The colder it gets, the more your battery's output
drops. So there's less voltage available to start. Worn
spark plugs can easily require twice the voltage of new
plugs. Result—you have a combination that can be too
much for even a brand-new battery.
You don't want starting tiouble this winter. lint a

Yesterday's Winters Teach Today's Driver New Tricks NO many Canadian
books for children
betting automobiles ready
for winter use once was a far
different matter than it is
today,
What the motorist of the
past might experience was
outlined by Jim POrdice,
president of the Iowa Valley
Chapter of the Antique Auto
Club of 4inerica and the
owner of several antique ears himseit,
Cars and service haven't
always been, what they are
today, Back then, antifreeze
just wasn't available, Those
Who were hardy and enthu-siastic enough to (Wye. in
winter weather put alcohol
or kerosene_ in .their radia-
tors hoping to prevent freeze-
ups.
Today, "winter" or low vis-
cosity oil is taken for grant-
ed. Kerosene was also used in
the past to dilute the ell to
ease cold weather cranking'
and allow It to circulate in
archaic "splash" or dipper
lubrication systems,
Even diluted oil could be
mighty stiff on a cold morn-
ing. It wasn't too uncoMMon
to tie three or four corn. cobs
together with .a piece of wire
and set them afire under the
crank case. A few minutes of
this treatment would allow
the engine to turn over freely.
As well as the modern bat-
tery functions, it is still a
source of doubt on the cold-
est mornings. There was no
doubt in granclad's mind; he
knew his battery lacked suf-
ficient output on cold morn-
ings.
lie took the necessary pre-
caution of keeping his bat-
tery behind the kitchen stove
oVern1011t, PiankOts were
sometimes placed over the
engine to prevent frost from
forming on the plug wires,
coil, and distributor.
All of these precautionS,
and the bitterest of swear
words didn't always guaran-
tee an easy start. After the
battery wore down,his crank-
ing arm wore out and his pa-
tience wore thin, grandad
still had an ace up the sleeve
of his mackinaw.
Ile could harness the team
to the front bumper and give
his old tin liz a pull, That
failing, he could hitch up a
buck-board and leave that
infernal contraption • sitting
until warmer weather.
If you don't have ready ac-
cess to a team of horses,
corn cobs and kerosene, and
lack a kitchen stove to keep
your battery behind, the best
thing to do is to see an auto
serviceman about winteriz-
ing your car.

Young Canada Book Week is
November 15 to 22, but try to
find, a Canadian children's
book, writes author Jean
MacKenzie in the current
United Church ORSRRVER.
Most of the books for Young
Canada Book Week will be
written and published in the
United States, she says. "This is
a war for the minds of our
children, and we're losing.
Thoughtful Canadians should
take a good look at.the attitudes
our youngsters are absorbing."
"If there are things Canadian,
worth preserving--our history,
our triumphs, our attitude to
living, then as parents we had
better pay attention. Americana
is creeping over our way of life
like a fungus," she maintains.
Parents have the respon-
sibility to see that their children
hear and read about the things
that make Canada unique, says
this mother and author of two
children's books, 'River of
Stars' and `Laura Secord,
Legend and Lady'. "It is up to
us individually whether the next
generations will be Canadians,
or merely little Americans in
long underwear," she says.
The fault is not with
Canadian publishers or authors,
Mrs. MacKenzie maintains, but
with the book buying
'You and I were upset," she
recalls, "when the failing Ryer-
son Press was sold to an
American firm. We wrote letters
to editors. We tut-tutted over
our coffee cups. We agreed that
it was, indeed, a terrible thing.
Yet when we went out to buy a
gift book for our Johnny, an in-
credibly high percentage of us
bought an American or British
book."
Mrs. MacKenzie recognizes
that economic forces are
weeding out Canadian writers
as well as publishers and artists.
"Vew Canadian writers can
live on the proceeds of their
books alone," she says. "They
must work at an outside job or
supplement their income by
writing articles, public relations'
pieces, business or technical
commissions," For her own part
she confesses: "much as I'd like
to, I don't know that I can af-
ford to write for your children,"
However, she sees some hope
if Canadians will support their
writers, artists, publishers and
printers. "One of the great dif-
ferences between uu is that
Americans make more noise
about their accomplishments,
Maybe we should do more about
blowing our own horn. But
then—that's not the Canadian
way, is it?" she asks.
Mrs. MacKenzie warns that
"if we . persist in buying
everything our next door neigh-
bour presses on us, we shall do
nothing but buy ourselves
oblivion,"
