Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER You'll get longest wear from a coolant hose made of silicone rubber. * If oil in your car is frothy and yellowish, it's probably an in- dication of coolant leakage. * Have your headlights checked. Are they aimed properly to direct Tight where you need it? Tests show that jackrabbit starts use up to twice as much gasoline as smooth, easy starts. Carbon deposits on spark plugs may indicate over -rich gasoline mixture or weak igni- tion. Have engine checked for a clogged air cleaner, high float level, sticky choke or worn breaker contacts. Bad plugs may be the start of a tired engine. Why not replace that car now, •at Larry Sniders. It's a good time for a good buy.

One inconspic- ious paragraph in the London paper is of special signifi- cance to area people, regard- ing the resolution on Indian Women's rights when their husbands die intestae. Due to the interest of Mrs. Olive Hicks of Hurondale W.I. and the support of her branch members, this resolution is aimed at changing the Indian Act of 1867 to give Indian women the right to administ- er their husband's estate as may any other Canadian women in similar circumst- ances. Much research was done by Mrs. Hicks, assisted by the District Resolutions Convenor, Mrs. Hilda Payne, to b ring this inequality to the Dist- rict W.I. and when they sustained the motion it was taken to the London area. Now passed by the area, this resolution only has to pass the Provincial Committee to be forwarded to the Federal Government for consider- ation and possibly, a change in the Indian Act. Our Huron - Middlesex M.P. Mr. Robert McKinley is to be thanked for assistance in getting this far. Why this resolut- ion? Because the Women's Institute is "For Home and Country." "Why not?" we said, and maybe we will be helping our native sisters. Official delegates to the Convention from the South Huron area were Mrs. Roy- lance Westcott, Exeter, South Huron— President and Mrs. Gordon Papple, R.R.5, Seaforth who is also Board Director for District 3. She was the only Board Director in the London Area who has not completed her term of office, Mrs. Emmerson Stanley, of R.R.2,Denfield being elected to District 21, and Mrs. Keith Heipler, R.R. 2, Springfield being elected to District 22. Other officers elected are president, Mrs. Wallace Laidlaw, R.R.7, London, first vice-president, Mrs. Leonard Caffyn, R.R.5, Ingersoll, second vice-presid- ent, Mrs. Keith Hiepler, secretary Mrs. Wilfred Keut- sch, Sebringville and treas- urer, Mrs. Clifford Ritchie, R.R.3, Parkhill.
