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," Care for Your Car
