BATTERY
Corroded terminals increase
resistance, reduce starting abili-
ty and may even drain battery
or eat away the surrounding me-
tal. To avoid this, inspect con-
nections frequently and if neces- .. saey, wash with a solution of
baking soda and Water. Remove
terminals and scrape:: away any
coeinsion• with knife:or sandpa-
per. Clean the battery posts and
reinstall terminals, applying a
coat of nonmetallic grease or pe-
troleum jelly, Do not overtight-
en hold-downs. Don't overfill.
GENERATOR
Generators don't normally need'
a lcit of ,attention - other than
making' sure the fan belt is ad-
justed properly 'and adding an
,occasional drop, of oil through
the oil "cups. Make sure you•
don't overoil, though.. More gen-
erators' are ruined, by overoiling
than by any other single cause.
And- remember to keep all con-
hectiOns clean and tight. Those
that are loose on .either the gen-
erator or 'the regulator will cause
high resistance in the system and
will not only reduce cranking
and charging power, but also
will affect high voltage output.
Also, make sure the battery is
fully •charged, especially during
cold weather, Remember, the
colder the weather, the weaker
the battery, and the weaker the
'battery, the more likely it is to
freeze.
AIR CLEANER
Air cleaner oil reservoir should
be checked and cleaned frequent-
ly,- daily if necessary. Service
entire air cleaner at least once
a season, or Oftener.. if tractor is
used. under extremely dusty con-
ditions, Remember; dirt in an en-
gine has the same effect as a
grinding compound en all inlay,.
ing.parts, greatly increasing wear
and resulting in excessive carbon
build - UP, fotiled . plugs, varnish

Flitt, FILTER
'Fuel filter and sediment bowl
should be inspected every day
and. cleaned weekly, Watch fee:
dirt and. Water hi the bowl, A
clogged filter can cut down the
flow of fuel to the carburetor,
and result in excessively lean
Mixture which may be mistaken
as carburetor float trouble. When

An invitation to relax with W.

you cap the hose nozzle when

DISTRIBUTOR
Major service on the distribu
tor requires 'accurate -testing
equipment and should be done
'by your authorized dealer or a
qualified. mechanic. You can;
however, check and service the
basic distributor components to
,maintain peak performance for
longer periods of time.
Breaker points should be in-
spected and adjusted at about
100 hours , and replaced every
250 hours. When servicing old
points, use a point file to remove
potting, after which you can set
the gap. Adjust the gap by loos-
ening the breaker arm locking
screw and turning the adjusting
screw. (Be sure rubbing block
is on highest point of cam lobe.)
Consult your owner's manual
for correct gap setting., Always
replace the condenser when in-
stalling new points and be suie
to apply a small amount of the
proper grade cam lubricant to
cam lobes, rubbing block and
distributor pivot Point, Make
sure lubricant is a high-melting
point type, or it will melt out
and contaminate the points. Also,
make sure engine is retimed af ,
ter points are installed or ad,-
jested, since breaker point spa-
cing has a direct effect on spark
timing. Check• inside of distribu-
tor cap for cracks, dirt •and mois-
ture. If cap is cracked, replace it.
(Snag' cracks in the cap may
cause voltage to "track" across
inside of cap to *the wrong in-
sert.)
In addition to causing misfir-
ing, this condition can even
cause the spark plugs to fire out
of order. If cap appears to be
okay, wipe out' with clean, dry,
lintfree Cloth, Remove corrosion
from rotor tip and from cap in-
serts With steel wool or by filing
lightly.
Remember, the distributor is
the heart of the ignition system,
So treat it with care and have It
completely serviced every sea-
son, or Mete often if necessary.

For many people the church is
the centre. of their faith, Not so
with the apostle Paul, The
church too often errs, The
church at Jerusalem was afraid
to permit Paul (then known as
Saul) to join them. Finally,
through Barnabas vouching for
the genuineness of his conver-
sion before the apostles, he was
accepted,
The focus of faith for Paul was
Jesus Christ. Himself. Note the
several references in the first six
verses of our lesson:- Christ
Jesus came to save sinners;
faith and love which is in Christ
Jesus; Christ Jesus our Lord,
who bath enabled me, - put-
ting me into the ministry; I ob-
tained mercy, that in me first
Jesus Christ might show forth
all longsuffering, for a pattern-.

tell his parents and they could
tell Mr. Moody. When Mr. Moody
heard of the incident; said. to
the, boy, "When you broke my
umbrella, you became .ashamed,
didn't you? But when your
parents had straightened things
up, you can come to me without
being frightened. We have' all
sinned. God has provided a Me-
diator, to go between us and

in His Name, without fear. He
has opened the way."

can endure walking around on

low zero, and the birds' bodies
are kept warm by thick feathers
and heavy layers of fat. But the
most cursory observation reveals
that their toes are exposed and
hardly insulated at all.
In the current issue of Ant-
arctic, the magazine .of the New
Zealand Antarctic Society, zool-
ogist Rowland Taylor reports
that careful studies made by him
and other scientists may have
discovered how penguins keep
their toes warm. While they are
standing• still, and even while
they are sleeping,, they reduce
their pedal contact with the bit-
terly cold ice by balancing on
their heels.
