Every Saturday the boys drop into his place to pick up some Marfak or Havoline or just to chew the fat. Bob's is kind of a meet- ing place. But Bob doesn't mind :because most of his custom- ers are his friends too. He's helped these men keep their farm equipment iri -goOd shape with top quality pro- ducts from Texaco. There are Texaco Dis- tributors just' like, Bob all across the country. And like Bob, most of them have complete farm and home delivery service. But on Sat- urdays, the boys still drop in, In some places almost: a tradition. set on 'being a race driver. When my parents heard that, they blew their stacks and forbade me to see Jell again. Now, I've driven with Jeff a number of times and he's a lot safer driver than some of the boys my parents approve of. How can. I con- vince my parents to let me go out with Jeff? WRONG TRACK WINNIE Dear Winnie: You are right in one re- spect. Successful race driv- ers are the safest drivers in the world. They must adhere to ,the rules of the road and have their cars in the best possible condition to be suc- cessful. Why not arrange for a double date with your parents with Jeff driving. Once they see he's a better bet at the steering wheel than the average driver, YOU two may reach the win- ner's circle together. Dear DeDe: We are a young couple on a tight budget. One high but important item on that budget is car expenses. Can you give us some tips on .how to keep that budget under compiling , - CLAUDE AND JEANNE Dear C and J: One way not to save is to scrimp on preventive main- tenance. That dollar you didn't spend could end up costing you five. For in- stance, there's no surer way to cause premature engine wear than to skip recom- mended oil and filter changes: Neglecting tune-up is going to cost you money in excessive gasoline bills, charges for road service when your car won't start and possible engine damage, Not checking the air in your tires, having tires improperly balanced could wear out a set of tires 25 percent prematurely. So, to avoid paying those whop- ping repair bills that shatter budgets, earmark some money for preventive main- tenance. It pays off in the long run, SEE AND BE SEEN! Among the most com- mon reasons for rejection at vehicle inspection sta- tions throughoutAhe coun- try are items affecting. visi- bility, In some areas as high as a. 50 percent rejec.: Lion rate occurs, on items such as lights and wind- shield wiper and washer systems. Experts say that head- light aiming should be checked several times a year. Wiper blades should be ieplaced every six months. Dear DeDe: My husband is a commer- cial pilot and understand- ably is very finicky about the condition of his plane, But what drives me batty is that he is also a dingbat when it comes to our car. We are i always late whereVer we go because Bob insists on per- forming what he calls a "pre-flight check" before he gets into the car. He checks the tires, the wipers, the oil and water and a dozen other items before he'll even move out of the driveway. I'm all for safety but don't you think he's carrying this thing too far? MRS. R.W. Dear Mrs. R.W.: Perhaps your husband is carrying things too far. But, if he is, at least he's on the side of ,the angels. (A good place for a pilot to be.) Too many motorists pay no at- tention to fundamentals like proper tire pressure, oil ley- • els, good wipers and other basics necessary for trouble- free performance, At best, neglect can lead to prema- ture deterioration of the car. At worst, carelessness can lead to a serious accident. Bear with your husband's . carefulness, He wants to fly now and drive later in a safe manner. Dear DeDe: Will yOu please help me out of a tight spot at home? I just met Jeff and he's the kind of guy I could get se- rious over. There's only one trouble. Jeff has his heart HELPFUL.
