So you'll enjoy safe, trouble-free driving. And reduce harmful engine emissions. All winter long. Dear DeLTe: The age of chivalry isn't only dead. It's mummified. Last week after work, I found my car stuck in a snow bank in the parking lot, Instead of helping me get out, the "men" lust laughed, said something about "Women's Lib" and blithely drove away, My car' wasn't stuck so deep that a little shove from a couple of the guys couldn't have helped. As it turned out I had to call a wrecker and was an hour late getting home, What's with men these days? GERRY Y. West Allis, Wisc. Dear Gerry: You might ask, what's ' with people today? Your co-workers' inconsiderate behavior is not merely just a man-woman thing. It's a human matter. People don't want to get involved. They should have helped if you were a woman, a fellow man or a creature from outer space. You may not be able to change human nature but you could per- haps have helped yourself, Remember this if you get stuck again, If the car isn't too deeply embedded in snow, you can rock your- self out of a drift. First, make sure your exhaust pipe isn't embedded in the snow, If it is, clear the snow away or you risk actual car- bon monoxide poisoning. Then, with a gentle foot on the gas pedal, shift from re- verse to drive in a steady rocking motion, It might help if your car trunk con- tains a shovel to remove snow and an old rug to help give you traction, Dear DeDe; I own a small machine shop and I'm getting the reputation of being some kind of Scrooge, It seems every time the temperature drops below 10 degrees above zero, about a quarter of my employees are late to work. So I dock their pay. I figure that if 75 percent of my people can start their cars and get to work, on time, then the other 25 per- cent should be able to, too. It always seems to be the same people who can't start, so I figure they should do something about it. Am I wrong? THE Boss Oakville, Ontario Dear Boss: Maybe you are being too harsh on your employees the first time they are late due to a "can't start." But beyond that first time, I'm with you all the way. If a car's engine is in good con- dition, there's no reason it shouldn't start in cold weather. With a. strong bat- tery, tuned engine and healthy electrical system, there should be no starting trouble. Remind your people that engine care is cheaper in the long run when they consider the cost of road service, not to mention lost wages. Car in Condition? Compulsory car checks are turning up interesting facts about the cars we drive. Headlights are out of ad- justment on 38% of all cars, 40% have improper tire pressure. 20% have contaminated transmission fluid, 49% have some form of ignition system breakdown. 28% have carburetor mal- functions and 35% have in- correct timing. These are the areas your service outlet should look at the next time you put your car in for a check, In at least three of these areas the fix is fast, simple and costs very little.
