School budget up Area beekeepers meet 13 per cent over 1978 Huron County public school supporters are facing an 8.4 per cent increase in taxes under the 1979 budget adopted by the county board of education. At Thursday's meeting of the board, a budget was passed calling for expenditures of $23.6 million - an increase of over 13 per cent from the 1978 budget. Trustees learned at the meeting that the strike by secondary school teachers during the 1978 school year helped to cushion the impact of the tax increase on county taxpayers this year. The money saved from teacher salaries will be applied against the funds required from municipalities. The average homeowner in Huron County living in a house assessed at $3,000 will face a tax increase of $18 to $20 in 1979. County municipaliteis haven't yet calculated the complete impact on individual taxpayers. The major expense under the 1979 budget is instruction costs - an expenditure of $17,260,045, which is a 15.6 per cent increase over last year. Plant operations and maintenance costs have increased by 17 per cent to $2,093,000. Other major expenditures include tran- sportation, which increased by 9.2 per cent; tuition fees to other boards, a 6.9 per cent increase and business adminstration costs, up 3.6 per cent. A more detailed article on the school board's 1979 budget will appear in next week's paper. Beekeepers from Huron, Perth and North Wellington Counties heard about new beekeeping methods and news about their industry when they held their annual meeting in Belgrave Tuesday night. Speaking at the meeting were President Murray Watkins of St. Marys, Phil Burke, the provincial apiarist and David Boyes from the University of Guelph. Professor Burke spoke about changes in the industry and on things that can be harmful to bee colonies. He said that in 1978 there were a total of 32,800 colonies inspected in Ontario. Of those 566 were infected with American Foul Brood disease. In Huron there were some 1900 colonies inspected but only eight of those had the disease. "We're fortunate we've been able to maintain them this close for several years," Professor Burke said. He told the beekeepers that the 1978 crop of honey was pretty well committeed with really only about four more months to this selling year. He said that the price of honey had gone up and that 1978 had been the biggest crop ever at 67 million pounds. Professor Burke told the meeting that as of January 1 next year containers for honey will be in metric sizes. The new sizes will include any net weight up to and including 150 grams, 250 grams, 375 grams, 500 grams and 750 grams, 1 kilogram, 1.5 kilograms, 2 kilograms, 3 kilograms, and 5 kilograms. All bulk honey containers will be 7 kilograms, 15 kilograms and 30 kilograms; and any larger containers the net weight of which is to be measured in multiples of 1 kilogram, David Boyes spoke to the group on spring management and on the two queen system. 2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 18, 1979. Special music at Easter service At Blyth United church last Sunday, Easter power kept resurging from the time the 29 members Senior Choir sang the Processional hymn, "Christ the Lord is risen to -day" to the "Allelujah Chorus" at the close of the service. • Jerusalem, Neath the Old Olive Trees, Thirty pieces of Silver, Bold Peter, God so Loved the World, Road to Calvary, Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Up from the Grave he arose, Jesus Christ is Risen ••--these were the selections that reinforced each scriptur- al passage read by Rev, Wittich. The five choir groups and guest soloist, Cathy Madill, gave an excellent perfor- mance, Valerie Wasson pro- vided effective guitar accom- paniment for one number, and Winona McDougall as- sisted Margaret Kai in the piano -organ prelude and pro- cessional. The joys of children's Easters were revealed in their vocal reactions to the minister's questions preced- ing his explanation to them FCC interest rates up Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan today an- nounced a change in the interest rates charged by the Farm Credit Corporation. The interest rate for loans under the Farm Credit Act and the Farm Syndicates Credit Act will be 10% per cent. "These rates are reviewed twice a year and fixed on April 1 and October 1 for the following six months. the rates are based on the yields on government bonds," said Mr, Whelan. The rate for. the period ending on March 31, 1979, was 10 per cent for loans under the Farm Syndicates Credit Act, He said that the increase is the result of continued upward pressure on interest rates in the Canadian economy. Today's change is required by the Regulations under the Farm Credit Act, of the place of the Easter Egg in the religious observance of Easter, In the brief message to the worshippers that filled the church, an, insignificant weak looking bulb along side a lily in bloom was used to demonstrate God's power to transform finite weak bodies to new bodies in Christ.

Although for years I always frowned at the patriotic pro- paganda that our American counter -parts were subjected to I must admit there was a certain amount of envy when an American companion would know immediately historical facts and interesting tales about his country and the brave people who settled there. But the future looks like it will change for many Canadians. After spending a week in the U.S. it was with great relief and surprise that I found out that for all my grumbling about our CBC programming 1 have never been so happy to see Canadian shows. Although they have a tendency to be a mite boring and draggy, there is very little "talking down" to the viewers of the program. It is as though the CBC or the Canadian govern- ment is anxious to have us think and operate above the grade four level that a great too many shows tend to cater to. Lions help buy band instruments At the last meeting of the Londesboro Lions, presided over by Lion President Bill Bromley, the executive for the coming year was nominated. It was moved by the club to donate $200 toward purchase of more instru- ments for the Hullett School Band. This would be in addition to the $500 donated one year ago for the same purpose. A tentative date for the annual bike-a-thon was scheduled for the last week of June. It was suggested that at the same time we try to arrange a children safety Rodeo under the guidance of Elmer the Safety Elephant or possibly the O.P.P. Proceeds to be used for community work. The Lions Club voted to talk to the Hullett Rec. Committee re garding more screening at the Ball Park futher to work done last year by both parties. Guests present at the meeting were Lion Don Couglin and Lion Henry Lachnor from Howick Club. Lion Don is running for District Deputy Governor for District A.9, this coming year and was asking for support at the voting for officers. Lions would like to remind residents of Blyth, Clinton, and Londesboro that the paper pickup for all locations is held the first Saturday of each month. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, April 12 .and will be a fellowship meeting. Plan auction Bill Amos, Chairman of the Board for Huron Country Playhouse announced today that Glen Wood, the innova- tive designer and developer, has agreed to be convener for the Third International Art Auction to be held at the Huron Country Playhouse, Sunday, July 29th. Mr. Wood is the owner and developer of numerous commercial properties in re- novated historical buildings, including the Talbot Inn, London, and the Festival Square, Stratford. He studied interior design at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City, then began his career with Simpson's in London. Ten years ago he started his own store, Tradewinds, sel- ling china and glassware. In 1976 his passion for renova- ting and restoring old buil- dings led him to buy the Belevedere Hotel in down- town London and turn it into the beautiful Talbot Inn. Mr. Wood's most recent project is another renovation of older buildings in Cam- bridge, Ontario.

For me Riel was a fuzzy figure from grade 5 history who was executed for treason. But the program produced about Riel was not boring or draggy. It was exciting and although Louis was considered a rebel by anyone's standards, he came off with my sympathy as well as my pride. How could such a colourful character have escaped my attention all these years? Somehow reading about his brief escapades in school texts did not lead me on to read more and discover just what the situation was in the west during those years around Confederation. Louis Ric! was an educated man who believed that the expansion of Canada would injure the Metis people and he strove to correct the problem. Riel was not really a traitor to Canada. He believed in Confederation but wanted a fair shake for his people and tried to set up a provisional government. Although he was fairly elected three times to parlia- ment, he was not allowed to represent his people. Riel's tactics were shrewd and his goals clear until he became clouded with know- ledge of his power and his goal became confused with evangelical concerns. Television is a wonderful medium for teaching and having viewers retain a certain amount, If more of our Canadian History could be presented to us in the same fashion there would surely be more fire instead of apathy over our country, If you missed the TV series don't disapair, there is a theatrical release available as well as audiovisual aids being developed to use as guides in the schools when the film is shown to students. Raymond Cloutier who plays Riel does the job convincingly and I hope we see some more of his talent in the future. ****** Last week Klaus an4, 1 toured through the Carolinas, stopping for the most part in Savanna, Georgia. All the time I was admiring the spring blossoms and writing in my mind just what 1 would write about the food and fine weather and of course the fine people, But on' the way home I realized that many are not as fortunate as we were to find• a warm escape at this time of year. So to avoid any remarks 1 will only say for those of you who could not escape, we will all hope for warmer weather to hurry here.

Few organizations do this form of fund raising more effectively than World Vision. With professional skills, they constantly remind us of the plight of the rest of the world. Recently in the United States, they put on a five hour hunger telethon. About a third of the time, the TV tube pictured men, women, and children, starving, racked by disease, and gaunt from malnutrition, their personal horizons narrowed to day-to-day survival. We're sure it was successful but I'm sorry that they had to use that method. God knows there's enough suffering in the world, that any help at all is worthwhile. But it achieved its goal by making us feel guilty, then urging us to relieve our guilt by sending cheques to World Vision so that we could feel good, although we continued to increase the economic chasm separating us from the people we thought we were helping. Much more than that is needed. Ironically, an incident on that television program showed us the implications of a better way of helping and giving. A village woman brought her two sons to a children's hospital in Dacca, Bangladesh. The doctors cared for her sons -- they also urged the woman to take their "medicine for no more babies". They told her, and she knew as well as they did, that Bangladesh had too many people for too little food. She was confused and frightened. For centuries, her people : valued large families. Children meant more hands to work in the fields. Children were security in old age. Suppose she took their birth control pills, and her two sons died? Then she would end her life as an old woman with downcast eyes and outstretched hand prowling the streets for garbage and handouts, slowly starving to death. But the doctors promised they would do their best to keep the sons alive. And so far, they had done a good job. So, hesitantly, the woman began to take the medicine. Hesitantly, she entered into a pact with the doctors. The pros's and con's of birth control methods -- or even of. birth control itself -- are not the point. That woman entered into a new covenant, a fragile agreement based on trust. Her world and ours became linked. We took on a responsibility to her. And that respnsibility for her goes far beyond doctors and pills. Now we have to be sure, for example, that our trade policies don't turn her into a beggar anyway, by driving her family off their tiny farms. We have to open our markets to goods her sons may someday produce. We have to keep her sons from being killed in a war fought with our exported armaments. Suddenly, It's not their plight, but ours too. For having entered into that woman's future, we will surely diminish ourselves if we ever break our side of the convenant. The fire chief says.' Don't give fire a place' to start, with spring at hand now is the time to clear out all those papers and boxes that have accumulated all winter.

Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Riel They could hardly have foreseen it, I guess, all those men of power of the young new nation as they sat in Ottawa in 1873. How could John A. MacDonald and his cronies know that in an insignficant skirmish in the new teritory they had bought from the Hudson's Bay Company thousands of miles away they were seeing the seeds planted of future destruction for their country. The timing of C.B.C.'s major production Riel could hardly have been better. The two night drama about the happenings in Manitoba in 1873 and Saskatchewan in 1885 has shown us that you can't turn your back on history. It lives on, festering inside people to re-emerge decades later with saddening consequences. There may have been trouble between the French and English factions in Canada anyway, but the roots of the current split between the two sides can be traced to the Riel rebellions and the consequences. As Sir John says in the first episode of the Riel programs, Riel and Thomas Scott (the man he sentenced to death for treason) had become symbols and symbols have a way of living on long after people. It is ironic that Sir John A. MacDonald, the man who dreamed of a nation from sea to sea and who fought all the odds to bring that dream about should also be respon- sible for beginning us down the long road that someday soon may see the destruction of that land from sea to sea. If MacDonald had been able to handle the crisis better, perhaps we wouldn't be facing such a crisis today. If he had understood Riel better, had realized he was right, our history might have been changed. The Riel rebellion shows the beginnings of two of our greatest problems in Canada today. On one hand, there was the French versus English problem. Riel, Gabriel Dumont and the rest of the Metis population were part Indian but spoke French, To the Quebecois they were brothers and symbols of what the English would do to French Canadians. To man in English Canada they were a hindrance to settling the West, a danger that another Quebec could rise in the West to plague them as the French province had in the east. But Riel in Manitoba was fighting not as French against English but as a Westerner fighting for a fair deal from easterners. Riel and his people were simply ignored by the new Canadian government in Ottawa after the Hudson's Bay company sold the territory. It was as if they didn't exist. Their land was being given away to new settlers from, the east. A government thousands of miles away simply couldn't comprehend their problems. That too was to become a famliar refrain throughout Canadian history. The tragedy, of course, is that we should still be cursed by this happening of nearly a centur .y ago. On one side we have the Orange movement in Ontario which insisted on vengeance for Scott.whom they considered had been murdered. On the other side nationalists in Quebec, fed by the church, kept alive the ill feeling bred by the treatment of Riel. it helped keep the church in an important place in Quebec society to be possessor of the nationalist cause in Quebec. The one outlet for bright young men in Quebec was the church and so the young agressivc nationalists turned the church into a place where distrust of the English, not love of one's brothers, was fostered. Meanwhile, across the border in Ontario distrust of anything French or Catholic was fostered by the Orange Order, a group that for violence, disorder and bigotry could only be compared to the Klu Klux Klan in the U.S. The Orangemen of the day were not the rather tame Oraneemen of our lifetime but people who influenced elect- ions through threats and very real violence, They were powerful in numbers and a foe that a politician like MacDonald didn't want to cross, Times have changed. The power of the Church in Quebec is no longer as important, yet the distrust and the nationalism the church promoted has grown more powerful now in the hands of a new generation of young activists. The power of the Orange movement in the rest of Canada has faded, but not the hate and mistrust they instilled in a good portion of the population. Through it all comes the other great tragedy of Canadian history: our lack of cultural sovereignty. For most of the first century of Canada's existence we ignored our history, because we didn't promote Canadian books and movies and television. If we had had the Riel story told fairly to a wide audience 50 years ago, perhaps things would now be different. The power of mass media to promote understanding is great. We have seen that in the U.S. with the Roots series. Hopefully Riel will do that in Canada. Yet we have waited for 100 years before people realized that it is essential that we use that power to try to promote understanding in this vast country, to override the petty hatreds of petty men isolated from the rest of the country in little pockets here and there. Now we have finally discovered the power of the media for good, but it may be too late to save the country.

Junior Agriculturalists available again This year the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will once again be sponsoring the Junior Agri- culturalist Program during the summer of 1979. The program is designed to pro- vide a practical learning experience for young people from non-farm homes who have a serious interest in agriculture, and (dm have had no experience working on a farm. As a Junior Agriculturist, a person will be placed on a selected commercial farm, where he/she will perform regular activities relative to that farm operation. In addition, an appreciation of rural life through living with a farm family, and through participating in the local 4-H and Junior Farmer programs and in other rural activities, The prospective Junior Agriculturalists will be either boys or girls 16 or 17 years of age and must be in good physical and mental con- dition in order to withstand the vigorous physical effort. Selection will be based in part of their reasons for being interested in agricul- ture, and their plans for further education The interested host farm- ers are to be commercial farms, with the operator engaged in farming full time, They must be interested in helping inexperienced young people to develop the skills required on a farm and are expected to have the ability to work well with and super- vise young people. Host farmers must also provide suitable accommodation for the Junior Agriculturalist during his/her stay on the farm. Each Junior Agricul- turalist will receive a training allowance of $18 per day on a six day week. $6 of this will be provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food; the host farm will provide $6 per day in cash, as well as supplying room and board worth $6 per day.

THE SMILE OF THE STRANGER BY JOAN AIKEN In Florence when Juliana was just 17, an unexpected enquiry led to a wild and sometimes dangerous adven- ture, Juliana and her father had to travel across France during the Revolution and flee to England.

An inheritance adds to Juliana's problems. ****** For delicious, crisp salads, food specialists at the Ont rio Ministry of Agri- cultr re and Food suggest you us Id long seedless cucumbers fr9m Ontario greenhouses, They require no peeling, are perfect for slicing and have a mild, sweet flavor, Sugar & Spice by Bill Smiley Right from the first, 1 knew it was a day, "1 shooda stood in bed," as a third-rate pugilist, Kingfish Levinsky, once said after being flattened by the great heavyweight Joe Louis, in round one, Got up, took a tug at the strap of my wristwatch to take it off and wash; broke the strap, Nothing serious. Cheap plastic junk. But it turned out to be applied to the watch by one of those unseen geniuses who lose one of your socks in the wash, and produce four extra beer bottles when every case of empties is full, I'II probably never be able to wear the watch again, unless I glue it to my wrist, Serves me right. I hadn't a watch for 30 years, and never felt the need for one. But my wife bought me this one last summer, in the duty-free shop at London airport. And now I find myself neurotically flipping up my cuff and glaring at the hair on my left wrist, like all the other anxiety hounds Win the country who are not going anywhere, don't need to know the time, but are constantly flipping up their arms like trained seals and looking at their watches. Who needs a watch: Life is going quickly enough, without the evidence on a little dial. The very word has nothing but unpleasant connotations. "Watch what you're doing there, Watch out. Watch your step. Watch the late movie. Watch your wife, Watch that guy hanging around your daughter. Watch what you say in mixed company." O.K. I shrugged off the watch. Went down and got my breakfast. Usually, it's toast and tea. This particular morning, 1 had more time, so I fixed the works: real coffee, bacon, fried bread and a nice sloppy fried egg on top of the bread. A drooly great breakfast, Thought I'd cat in my favorite chair in the living room, and read my morning paper in the spring sunshine pouring in the window. So I put my grub on the kitchen counter and started cutting the fried bread and egg into bite -sized pieces, so that 1'd need only one hand to eat. Something skidded, The plate slipped off the counter, sprayed grease all over the front of my pants, and smashed to smithereens on the floor. I emitted a most unladylike few words, salvaged the bacon from under the sink and started cleaning up, Have you ever tried to wipe up just one lousy semi -fried egg from a kitchen floor? It reminded me of the old days, when I'd drop a quart milk bottle and sponge up what seemed like a gallon of milk, And it was the first time I'd had to change my pants since 1 was about two, Well, I should have stopped right there, stripped to the skin, and gone back to bed for the day. But, as faithful readers know, I believe that bad things come in threes, and then you have a good streak. As it happened, 1 was going to buy a car from a chap that day. With impeccable logic, I reckoned one more minor disaster would occur, and I'd be home free for a while. If it didn't, the car would be a lemon, to complete the trio, and I wouldn't buy it, It did, The minor disaster, I sailed out of the house, figuring I'd slip and break an elbow, or the car wouldn't start. Nothing of the sort, Stuck my hand in my coat pocket. No keys. No car keys, No house keys. And I'd left the latch on. Stood at the back door, ding-donging like crazy for five minutes. Blasted if I was going to climb in the cellar window and wreck my second pair of pants. Finally, the Old Lady appeared. She'd been in the bath tub. She was not ecstatic with our marital state, Grease all over the kitchen, my watch busted, and the second last set of plates also busted. She felt like busting me, Anyway, I finally set off with a Tight , heart. The three baddies had happened, and the rest of the day would be glorious, the car a winner, and everything golden. Well, you probably know the rest, Late for work. Thirteen decisions to make at same. A hair in my grilled cheese at lunch. Lukewarm coffee, Banker who had prom- ised me the loan out to lunch for two hours, Tried to sneak in a quick visit to doctor for allergy shots; and he forgot I was there for an hour. Late for my appointment to meet car seller. We'd both forgotten to pick up the safety check certificate, Rushed off to the garage, telling car seller and wife to wait for me at licensing bureau, Arrived at garage breathless, but still time, Nobody home but gas pump jockey. Mechanics out jogging. Jogging! Phoned license bureau to tell short, ill-tempered seller with beard to hang on. Th ey hadn't seen him since I left. Wait 25 minutes. Sweaty, gasping mechanics arrive, sign certificates, Rushed back to licence bureau, No sign of car seller, inside or out. Got all papers ready. Waiting, fuming, inside, then outside. "Turkey's probably gone to the bank or something." At five to five, phoned his apartment. He was there. He and his wife had waited OUTSIDE the license bureau (not enough brains to stay in and keep warm), had decided I'd changed my mind and wouldn't be back, and were at the moment packing to go to the city for a week. With my car. And the license bureau closed at five. Tottered home in a daze, expecting the house to be burned down and my wife pregnant. Or vice versa, the way things were going. And then I started to laugh. And laugh. I had to be administered a strong dose of cough medicine to cool me out. Somebody once said that the Lord works in mysterious ways. He sure does. Wonder what He had against me that cold March day? Maybe it was a lousy car, and He was trying to warn me.

Treasurer Frank Miller presented his first budget to the Legislature this week, calling for higher health in- surance preminumsand higher taxes on gasoline, tobacco, domestic liquor, wine and beer. The budget also gives breaks to mining and tourism and to those who want to risk some capital in a small company. Mr. Miller said that the resulting increase in revenue of $181 million will go to reduce the $1,3 billion pro- vincial debt to about $1.15 billion by next year. Succession duties were ended, effective immediately and the sales tax will be take off kitchen machinery and restaurant equipment, at least until March 31, 1981. Purchases of furniture for use in tourist accommodation also will be exempt for the same period. The present sales tax exemption on rates in Ontario tourist accom- modation is also extended until 1981. The top mining tax rate will be cut from 40 to 30 per cent, and the basic exemption from mining tax raised from the first $100,000 to the first $200,000 of mining profits, in an attempt to encourage the creation of more small mining companies. Individuals and companies will be allowed to set up new corporations to invest in new or expanding small businesses. Each $1,000 in- vestment in a new Small Business Development Corporation would mean a $300 rebate from the Re , enue Ministry. The government hopes that these nNasures will entice capital out of tax shelters such as retirement savings plans and into industrial development, $20 million will be made available in an employment development fund to attract major companies to the province. The money could be inthe form of loan guarantees, grants, loans or a share in the company by the government, depending on each application. The general corporate income tax rate will rise from 13 to 14 per cent, although small businesses will continue to be taxed at 10 per cent and manufacturing and processing industries at 13 per cent, Sales tax will now be collected on tele- communications services such as cable TV fees, telex and teletype services. The land transfer tax will be raised, costing the buyer of a $60,000 home $300 instead of the present $255. The rates, which are effective immediately, are 0,4 per cent on the first $45,000 of transaction, and 0,8 per cent on the balance. Ontario Health Insurance ITemiums will rise in October by $12 a year for individuals and $24 a year for families, bringing the new rates to $240 a year for single subscribers, and twice that amount for families, Beer will cost ten cents more for a case of 24 on April 30, and Canadian spirits and Ontario wines will rise in cost by about 20c a bottle. A package of twenty cigarettes costs 2c more, effective im- mediately, and taxes on cigars and cut tobacco rise by an equivalent percentage. The sales tax exemption on candy and soft drinks will rise from 20c to 49c, and the exemption on admission fees for theatre and other enter- tainment events will rise from $3 to $3.50, Charitable events will be exempt from the ten per cent enterain- ment tax, To encourage energy con- servation, rebates of the sales tax will be made on solar heating equipment, and home smoke alarms will be exempt. Yard goods and clothing patterns will no longer be subject to retail sales tax. Although both projects were considered for cancel- lation, Ontario Hydro this week announced that it will continue on sechedule with the first two reactors of Bruce B, and the last two reactors of the $2.9 billion four -reactor B station will be delayed until 1986 and 1987 respectively, to help Hydro match anticipated future power demand with generating capacity. Hydro also indicated that they would extend the constuction schedules of Darlington and the Atikokan coal-fired plant in Northwestern Ontario, Delegates from Goderich and Wingham Hospitals met this week with Health Minister Dennis Timbrell. Both meetings pursued at some length the matter of active treatment bed cut- backs, The Ministry acknow- ledged that both hospitals were under -bedded in terms of chronic care, and agreed to consider adjustments. In the case of Wingham there was some discussion con- cerning the setting up of a pilot project on the basis of a health services organization.

However, April 6 brought our area this winter's worst storm, with blocked roads, zero visibility, and hydro outages. The Festival had to be cancelled! This cancellation brought some very strong reaction. One youngster summed it up with "They can't cancel the Festival - that's like cancelling Christmas", Consequently it has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 28.

Repairs of nicks and scratches, dents, small rust - outs and areas of surface rust are not difficult for the do-it- yourselfer, according to ex- perts of the DeVilbiss Com- pany, manufacturers of paint spray guns. To repair minor nicks and scratches, you'll need sheet sandpaper grades 240, 320, 400, 600, sanding block, spot putty, masking tape, tack cloth, pre -cleaner solvent, newspaper, pail, water and sponge.., Use automotive duplicate. color, touch-up paint found in small bottles or aerosol cans, Normally, these paints are available for cars up to three years old. (Even when your car is new, it's wise to buy color matching touch-up paint, anticipating future needs.) If you cannot find the paint in bottles or aerosol cans, then an automotive paint store usually can custom mix the paint, The most common types of automotive paints are lac- quers, enamels, and acrylic lacquers and enamels. Touch up your car with the samel type paint originally used. If the scratch is not too deep and rust does not ap- pear, then repairing the sur- face won't be necessary, To touch up nicks and scratches, first clean the sur- face with soap and water and let it dry. Then use a pre - cleaning solvent to remove thoroughly any wax and grease. Sanding isn't necessary if the area is small and the primer has not been chipped off, A temporary touch-up for protection and improved appearance is all that's nec- essary. Oil analysis looks at `health' of car The question "May 1 check your oil??" is taking on a new meaning. With the -use of oil spec- troanalysis, checking the oil is more than merely making sure there is sufficient lubri- cant in the crankcase. Using a technique not too different from hospital blood tests, technicians can deter- mine the general health of an automobile :engine from analyzing the oil. Oil spectroanalysis for many years has been used by trucking fleets, aircraft and railroads to check on condi- tion of equipment, More re- cently, it is being offered to individual car owners by a number of service outlets, The tests are performed by extracting a small amount of engine oil at change time. The sample is analyzed by, spectrometer, data fed to a computer which prepares a report to the owner. Among the warning signs of engine problems the analysis can reveal are: • Worn cylinder rings or faulty combustion may be the comE ROARIAG IflI Well check these trouble spots to ensure that you have problem free summer driving.

To touch up a scratch, use a bottle of paint and a small soft brush and let the paint flow into the scratched area. If you're painting a small chip, just touch the area with a brush; don't brush back and forth. In either case, let the paint dry and apply several coats, If the nick or scratch is deeper than the primer, sand and prime before painting. Wet -sand the area lightly using a 300 range sandpaper and taper the edge of the painted surface adjacent to the scratch. Place a wet sponge above the sanding surface and allow • water to flow down while sanding. Determine whether the sanding is satisfactory by running your fingers over the area without feeling an edge between the bare metal and finished surface. Remember, the wider the featheredge around the repaired surface, the better the finished sur- face will appear. Don't be afraid to enlarge the scratched surface up to five times its original size, You're now ready to mask, clean, apply primer, spot putty in small pin holes, finish sand with 600 paper and apply the finish coat. When the surface has been prepared for painting, re- move all traces of dust by using a tack rag. Practice spraying on a piece of cardboard. To use an aerosol can or spray gun, hold the sprayer 6-10 inches from the surface and move it in a back and forth motion, overlapping each stroke just enough to ensure an even coat, Never release paint from the container unless the sprayer is in motion, and re- member to keep the sprayer moving when you stop spray- ing at the end of the stroke. This allows the paint to blend into the original painted sur- face, The sprayer should be held parallel to the surface to elim- inate a heavy and light con- centration of paint on the sur- face. +Hi shawls 1/le pPrca tOle!►iM Ilsgr�l� 'Hey, how d'you keep that terrific shine?

GET THE FACTS from Seaforth Insurance Agency Limited Donald G. Eaton 39 Main Street S., Seaforth 527-1610 Kenneth J. Cardno Traveling with kids is fun with right planning With the summer vacation season in full bloom, millions of families will pack the fam- ily car and be off on long trips, With small children, a bit of planning will keep them occupied and out of the hair of the parents and the other children. There should be books, materials for drawing and coloring, and games which do not require a large area. Make the selection based on what they would enjoy on a rainy day at home. Bear in mind that young- sters grow restless, so in- clude plans to make stops at rest areas where they can run off excess energy. Bring along a ball so they can have a quick game. A 10 -minute stop will do wonders for both the children and the adults and the travel time lost will be compensated for by a more relaxed atmo- sphere in the car. Have them make a "pit stop" before re- suming the trip. . A selection of snacks also will make the trip seem fast- er. Bring along some shopping bags for litter and also carry some pre -moistened face - hand wipes. Try to create an interest in geography by showing the children maps and reading about points of interest you will be passing or visiting. One of the most suc- cessful, yet educational, di- versions on a long trip is a contest for spotting license plates from other states, The first 25 states get one point each for the spotter, the next 15 get two points each, four points for the next eight, and five points for the final two. Before starting an auto trip, be sure the car is in peak operating condition. Fuel consumption affected by your car's accessories How your car is equipped affects fuel consumption. • You might want to con- sider installing a dash - mounted vacuum gauge calibrated in fuel use and engine condition while driv- ing. Cost is generally be- tween $5 and $12 at most auto parts stores. • Such options as air con- ditioning and -to a lesser extent—even electrical ac- cessories such as heaters, de- frosters and radios use more gasoline. When air condition- ing is not in use, fuel econ- omy improves by 5 to 14% or more. Air conditioning also adds weight—about 100 pounds—to a car, increasing fuel consumption even more merely because of the extra weight, (Some of the fuel is saved with air conditioning because driving with closed car windows means less mileage -robbing drag.) If you have it, use it sparingly. • An automatic transmis- sion can be a gas -using op- tion, Manual transmissions generally use less gas, par- ticularly in small cars, al- though this may not hold true in situations where frequent shifting is required. • Power steering also uses a bit more fuel. Some options can help conserve gasoline: • If you want aircondition- ing, for example, a light ex- terior car color combined with light interior upholstery will reduce heat build-up and keep your air -conditioner from having to work so hard, Tinted glass also helps, • Fuel injection usually saves gasoline by more uni- formly and efficiently distrib- uting the fuel than do car- buretors, An electronic spark ignition system also is a gas saver since its improved spark means better combus- tion and less chance for fuel - robbing spark plug fouling. • Top quality radial , tires usually will result in a 5 to 10% fuel saving because roll- ing resistance is reduced. Steel -belted radials generally are even better than fabric - belted radials in this respect. • If you'll be doing a lot of open -road driving, a cruise control option may be worthwhile since such an ac- cessory can maintain a steady speed, rarely using the carburetor's accelerator pump, Vacation Time is Car Care Time CAR CARE SECTION - Stopping at attractions along the way makes trips more enjoyable for the children. When an easy to use instant camera is along, the trip becomes more memorable. Six car checks to make regularly How long has it been since you took a really good look around your car? If you have to pause to remember when you last checked your tires, oil, coolant, battery or other components, you may have put if off too long. Following is a list of car checks that should be made periodically by the owner, if not by the service dealer: I) Fluids: Check engine oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid and coolant; add as needed, CAUTION: Never remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. 2) Battery: Check for cor- rosion on terminals, a com- mon cause of starting trou- ble. Check electrolyte level and add water as needed, in batteries using water. AN- OTHER CAUTION: When working near a battery, be sure there is no open flame. Do not smoke. Batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas. 3) Drive belts and hoses: While the hood is up, take a good look at them. Frayed or worn belts should he re placed, as should soft, brittle or bulging hoses. 4) Windshield wipers: Check them out, The rubber will become brittle with weathering and age and may he worn to a point where wipers smear or streak the glass. How's your supply of washer fluid? 5) Tires: invest in a good tire gauge and use it fre- quently. If you haven't checked tire pressure since summer, you're likely to find them underinflated. Even a couple of pounds of underin- flation can cost up to three percent in fuel economy. The Glassman of Ontario WE ARE SPECIALISTS IN .. . GLASS....

WE OFFER 24 HOUR ROAD SERVICE Blyth 523-4501 - CAR CARE SECTION Keeping records aids in scheduling service The bill you received when you picked up your car from the repair garage can serve a more useful purpose , than cluttering up the glove box. Receipts form a useful rec- ord of all service done on the car when logged and filed in a folder, Checking the log periodi- cally can help you plan the car's maintenance needs in the corning months by com- paring the records to your car's recommended schedul ' of maintenance, as outlined in the owner's manual. This can lead to more dependable driving by reducing unex- pected and inconvenient re- pairs. The log and folder also can aid in money planning. Many times the repair order will have a notation of other items that soon will need service. Those notations, plus a re- view of scheduled mainte- nance, will permit you to ad- just your budget accordingly or even shop the ads fora sale on the work the car will soon need. Also, by sharing the rec- ords with your mechanic you can avoid premature duplica- tion of the service, such as performing a lube job when one was recently performed. "IT AIN'T NECESSARILY S0: The term "Old Wives Tale" is becoming obsolete in these times of sexual equality. Nonetheless, there remains a vast body of myths and false sayings that merit debunking. After all, han- dling toads does not really cause warts and eating fish doesn't do much for brainpower. The automotive world has its share of maintenance myths that have earned obsolescence. This quiz asks you to separate fact from fancy by answering the questions with TRUE or FALSE. 1. In summertime, it's best to keep tires underinflated because warm temperatures will cause heat buildup. 2. To improve gasoline mileage, it's best to buy a higher octane fuel. 3. It is generally a good idea to replace spark plugs annually. 4. The primary cause of most starting trouble is a weak battery. 5. If you install permanent anti -freeze in your car, it's best to drain it in summer and replace with distilled water. 6. Removing emission controls will automatically in- crease fuel efficiency. 7, Your car will get about 20 percent better gas econ- omy at 55 miles per hour than at 70 m.p.h. 8. Electronic ignition systems completely eliminate the need for engine tune-up. 9. Misfiring spark plugs are leading contributors to excessive hydrocarbon emissions. 10.

One of the reasons could be a gap in communica- tion between the car owner and his or her mechanic. Often there is a lack of un- derstanding as to the basic problem with the car and the reason for asking for certain service operations, This may be a result of a sketchy or unclear description of the trouble, laced with opinions volunteered by friends and neighbors, and handed over from owner to service writer, to foreman. to mechanic. Here are some tips on how to talk to your mechanic: First of all, if you try to imagine a patient taking his ills to a medical doctor, you will understand more clearly what your mechanic faces when he looks under the hood of your car, The differ- ence is, your car can't tell him where it hurts, so you must be your car's voice. Keep records. That means any and all previous service receipts should be kept in ; folder in your glove com partment, They should bi ready for instant inspection in the event of a warrant; .question on tires, batteries mufflers, etc., and it will give your mechanic a running his tory of your car's mainte nance routine. Have these available whei you arrive at the garage am offer to produce them i needed, Unnecessary wort can often be avoided b! checking back to see whet the last job was done. Write things down. Mane shops like a grocery list o items you want done, and i also helps you to remembe things you might forget whei you bring your car in. If you have a particula problem, take time to writ down the symptoms yo) have noticed, When did the problem begin? Have yot had it before? Does it maks noise? Does it happen whet the engine is cold in the morn ing? Is there an odor? All descriptions are wet come and any clue you car provide your mechanic may be the one he needs to arrive at an accurate diagnosis oI your car's problem. It has often happened that just one point of information by the owner steers the mechanic down the right road to locate the trouble, Stick to the facts. Try to refrain from too much hear - MIKE KURTA GARAGE OWNER say and opinion which tends to be misleading and might result in the wrong thing being fixed. Don't be afraid to take time and explain in careful, thorough detail what you want. You don't have to be a mechanic to describe that cough, squeak, or oil drip. Plain language will do, After all, who knows your car better than you? If you have an intermittant problem, one that is not pres- ent all the time, su h as a rough running eng' " or a balky transmissioar- rive when the trouble is there, so you can demon- strate it. There's nothing more frus- trating to a mechanic than to try to locate a toothache that has disappeared. If neces- sary, offer to take him on a road test so he can see first hand what the problem is. And be sure to leave your telephone number in he needs to call and consult you further about the symptoms. One car owner even brought in a tape recording of the noise the car made, but only at certain times. Silly as' it seemed, this method led to the correct repairs being made, and the problem was solved. In short, be sure your mechanic understands the problem. Make a list of the I car's needs and symptoms, and convey these things to him as clearly as possible. NOT INCLUDED <`; ■ ■ PLUS TAX AT PARTICIPATING SUNOCO DEALERS.

Insufficient ser- vice to save a few dollars can mean much higher future re- pair bills as a result of the penny-wise philosophy. Careful attention to steer- ing, suspension and tires are among the major considera- tions to keep vehicle mainte- nance costs low. Proper maintenance of tires and wheel alignment can reduce vehicle operating costs, the Car Care Council advises, For example, tires under- inflated by only eight pounds can reduce gas mileage by five percent and cut tire life by 25 percent or more. Cost-conscious motorists, the Council suggests, will check tire inflation fre• quently with their own gauges, available in most au- tomotive stores for less than two dollars. Owners also should check tires for abnormal wear when vehicles are on lifts for lubri- cation or undcrframe ser- vice, Further reduction of fuel consumption would he the result of incorrect alignment. which can result in at least a two percent per -tankful energy loss—as well as re- ducing tire life, Incorrect alignment accel- erates tire wear to an even greater degree, The Council points out there are two easy ways to detect incorrect alignment of tire balance, indicating the need for cost-saving wheel or front end service: I. Looseness or excessive play in steering, or difficulty in controlling the vehicle over bumps and around curves are indications of problems which need cor- recting. 2. Another is vibration or the slightest shimmy. When vehicles are on lu- brication lifts, another pre- ventive maintenance check would be asking a qualified mechanic to check the front end and steering for loose- ness, and shock absorbers for leaks, A good mechanic can de- termine the corrective mea- sures needed for steering and suspension systems, ..or advise that hall joints, steer- ing linkage and shock absorb- Btm 10 gallons tor more) of lbaco's farm'Iubricants and you'll save 20C a gallon.

The Ontario Safety League suggests a few pre- liminary steps you should take to insure your bike is safe. Ride a bicycle that fits you. The size of your bike affects your ability to reach and use the steering, pedals and braking controls. You should be able to reach the ground comfortably with the ball of your foot while sitting up- right on the seat. Check the tires for wear and tear. Also check the Where bumps come from HOW A POTHOLE IS BORN -(1) Rain, sleet or snow works its way into the soil under the pavement. (2) When the tempera- ture drops, the water freezes and expands. This pushes up the soil and pavement. (3) As thawing occurs, the water runs away and the soil recedes, creating a hole under the pavement. (4) A passing car or truck breaks the pavement, causing the familiar pothole. Tires can be seriously damaged by striking a pothole. wheel spokes, chain, and your lighting and horn systems, Make sure the bike is well oiled, and get down to the nuts and bolts of things, tightening any loose nuts where necessary, Before taking the bike onto the street, check the braking ability of your machine on both wet and dry surfaces. Your bicycle should also be in good alignment. If the bike veers to one side when pushed forward, it is out of line and needs adjustment. Remember that the bi- cyclist is considered under the law to be a driver and as such traffic rules, regulations signs and signals apply just the same to the cyclist as to Check ignition regularly Ever since the Cain and Abel incident, which con- tradicted the Biblical adage "a man's span of years shall be three score and ten .. . the human race has taken a skeptical view of warranties, When Cain slew his brother early in life, Abel was in no position to ask for a recount. The moral of the story for motorists is not to take chances on critical car parts just because the recom- mended service interval hay been extended. A case in point is the igni- tion system. New car owners manuals often identify their service -free life as being up to 30,000 miles. Although electronic ignitions have eliminated breaker points, they still consist of parts that are subject to wear, erosion or breakage. Therefore, a check-up of the system is advised on a regular basis with a tune-up at least once a year. Ap//$k4sPJ lvingMByfhwri$ Tvhevpytritco- tbleluM /ls,qie/s. When it comes to Autos - come to �.

CLINTON 482p9042 Old car festival recalls horseless carriage era Visitors to Greenfield Village during Old Car Festival can almost hear drivers coaxing and sweet-talking their 300 antique automobiles as the cars clang and sputter their way down quaint Village streets, None built later than 1925, the cars recall the age of au- tomobile adventure; Here one can see the drivers in goggles and dusters and flap- pers in their frills, symbols of an age revolutionized by the Model Ts, Stutz Bearcats, Studebakers and many more, The Old Car Festival is one of the pre-eminent events of its kind—a chance for pam- pered motorists to glimpse early automobiling and for enthusiasts and collectors to compare notes and trade tales. The Village is an ap- propriate place for such a ;athering: it was founded by :he late Henry Ford. Daily parade During the daily parades, the cars clatter past a collec- tion of more than 80 historic homes and buildings, relo- cated from all over the coun- try and set down in the pat- tern of a typical New England Village. The setting takes on a par- ticularly Early American mood when riders on high - wheel bicycles, a special fea- ture of this event, glide placidly by, exhibiting both balance and bravery. Some cars, like the bicy- cles, have almost disap- peared from modern mem- ory, for few people can re- member when a Jewett Tour- ing Car or a Holsman Auto Buggy trundled down Main Street. A car from the 1920s is new by Old Car Festival stan- dards. It is a festival tradition to divide the cars into two categories: the venerable au- tomobiles of the pre -1917 era and the upstarts from the 1918 and 1925 period. Cars in each group compete in sepa- rate contests and games, in- cluding judging for authentic- ity. Amidst the Fords, Buicks and Dodges, there are cars recalling the shattered hopes of early manufacturers. Just ask an owner of a Wills Ste. Claire about C.H.

For instance, the five Rickenbackers at a recent event were among the nine sole survivors of about 55,000 cars. Products of a simpler era, these cars invite tinkering, Collectors will have spent many a Sunday afternoon preparing for this event by polishing the outside and working on the engines, try- ing to turn those sputters into purrs.

One entrant followed up the story of a lone hubcap lying in a farmer's field and discovered a veritable trove: a hubcap, two wheels and an axle.

Good wipers fight hazards Fog is a driving hazard— especially when a dense fog sweeps in while you are driv- ing at expressway speeds, When this happens, get off the expressway as quickly as possible. You'll be safer from rear -end collisions on lesser roads. Better yet, don't drive, As soon as fog creeps over the road, turn on your windshield wipers. "Dense" fog is merely a tine accumula- tion of mist. Once the wipers are operating, you'll probably find the fog not as dense as .you first thought, If your wipers streak, squirt washer fluid on the windshield. This should wash away any oily accumu- lation. if streaking continues, re- place wiper rubber refills at the nearest service station. Whenever fog rolls in, even in daytime, turn your headlights on low -beam. Without lights, you are invis- ible to anyone corning from behind at high speeds. Headlights also let drivers approaching from the oppo- site direction see you, Professor says -we love our cars "We do not just use au- tomobiles for transportation. We love them." Those are the words of Dr, Michael T. Marsden, associ- ate professor of popular cul- ture at Bowling Green Strut University in Ohio. "At times we become irri- tated with them, as we might with loved ones, but for the most part we are pleased with our symbols of technology that miraculously take us to and from our real and sym- bolic destinations day after day," Dr, Marsden told the Automotive Information Council. "The automobile con- tinues to be a major symbol in American life that is as much a part of our national charac- ter as the flag." Dr. Marsden, who is plan- ning a course entitled The Automobile in American Culture, said the automobile is able to resolve one of the essential tensions in our lives—that between our realized need for community and social groupings and our need, on the other hand, for individualistic expressions. "Automobiles are socially acceptable means of self- expression," he said.

Watch for the motorcycle and treat it like any other vehicle - give it room. Watch for mopeds, bicycles and motor- cycles when making both right and left turns, At intersections, remember that a moped is a slow -acceler- ating vehicle - some models must be pedalled before they gain speed and might also prove a little wobbly at this point, Re particularly careful of the two wheel driver when train and streetcar tracks are present. Negotiating tracks is a hazardous operation with these vehicles - don't crowd them, And when parking on a street, double check for bicycles, mopeds and motor- cycles before opening your door, Research into motorcycle accidents indicates that in most crashes involving an automobile, the driver of the automobile is at fault. In most instances, the car is making a left turn in front of the motorcycle when the collision occurs, Cars passing motorcycles and cutting in too quickly is the second most frequent contributing cause. The same danger is present with the moped and the Ontario Safety League stresses the need for motor- ists to check for all two - wheeled vehicles before making a left or right turn. The two wheeler is with us, sharing the roads. Motor- cyclists, in the main, arc responsible individuals. They need the co-operation of the motorists, EXPOSED MOTORCYCLISTS In 1977, 88 motorcycle drivers and 17 passengers were killed on Ontario's streets and highways. Another 3,594 motorcycle drivers and 807 passengers were injured. Preliminary figures for 1978 indicate an Has Your Car Got The SHAKES? Solve Them With Gabriel.

With the advent of warmer weather, motorcyclists are out in full force. The Ontario Safety League points out to cyclists that the use of proper clothing and footwear should be of primary concern to any safety -minded motorcyclist. Substantial pants and jackets gloves and boots can success- fully reduce injuries. This is purely common sense. Yet casual observance would indicate a growing popularity for cut-off jeans, tee shirts and running shoes. Fre- quently, passengers have been noted without footwear whatsoever. With such apparel, the Ontario Safety League suggests, even a minor spill could cause serious injury. While the mandatory use of helmets in 1968 substan- tially reduced the number of motorcycle deaths, there Pre -Trip Safety Check • Emissions check • Tune-up • Electrical system and battery check • Oil and filter change • Cooling system • Brakes • Tires • Exhaust system • Lights • Wipers and washers seems little point in protect- ing the head if the rest of the body is exposed.

SCRUTON FUELS 238 Albert St., Limited Clinton 482.7381 ShellJhe1ps 10 — CAR CARE SECTION Most RVs lack maintenance work. Despite the fact that vir- tually every recreational vehicle owner is seeking bet- ter fuel economy and is dis- satisfied with present gasoline mileage, most dis- play widespread inattention to basic fuel -saving engine maintenance. Tests , on nearly 200 motor homes and towing ve- hicles showed that 79 percent of the motor homes and 78 percent of the vehicles used to pull trailers had at least one maintenance deficiency that would adversely affect fuel economy, emissions, or performance. In other words, four out of every five needed at least part of a tune -u; An earlier " test of some 5,600 passenger cars found a similar situation voth 79 percent requiring mainte- nance. The most frequent engine malfunction discovered among the recreational vehi- cles was incorrect timing. A total of 67 percent of the RV owners find maintenance checks increase gas mileage.

Such incorrect timing is a major cause of poor perfor- mance, detonation, and wasted fuel. Engineers per- formed diagnostic exam- inations of the engine and ig- nition systems on 76 towing vehicles at an Airstream Trailer rally in Mansfield, Ohio. Although the motor home or travel trailer is generally considered an expensive ve- hicle, owners are thrifty. All but one in the entire sample used regular gasoline, and many answered the question of what type of gas they used, with "the cheapest I can find." Virtually every RV -owner said that he Was seeking bet- ter gasoline mileage and was disappointed in his present miles per gallon, Most admit- ted to getting just five to eight miles per gallon. Few ex- ceeded 10 miles per gallon, In terms of maintenance, the motor homes were in worse condition than the tow- ing vehicles. The only exception to this was in the area of spark plug replacement, Of vehicles used for towing, 59 percent needed new spark plugs, while only 23 percent of the motor homes required the replacement of plugs. There are currently no standards for emissions on motor homes. Increasingly, standards are being applied to the rugged recreational vehicles and pickup trucks frequently being used to pull heavy trailers. The • tests showed that 59 percent of the motor homes and 65 percent of the towing vehicles failed emission checks, based on New Jersey passenger car standards. In earlier tests, 41 percent of cars failed these standards. Mr. Walker explained that the high concentrations of carbon monoxide and hydro- carbon pollutants found in the RVs are a sign that the vehicles are probably wast- ing gasoline and performing at a substandard level. But with this increase in leisure and recreational travel. thousands have let slip routine vehicle mainte- nance. Mr. Walker said. "The gradual falling off of engine performance fre- quently goes unnoticed to the average motorist because the deterioration has been slow. Heat, vibration, and normal wear gradually change the clearances between engine parts and the adjustments within the electrical, fuel, and ignition systems. "When owners do notice the need for maintenance, it is usually only after fuel economy already has been sacrificed for a considerable amount of time," he said. "The best answer for the RV owner to the questions of when and how often to tune is that seasonal maintenance, or even better, maintenance Bias Ply Tire 044 43.44 ter 'r N. \\PLY\ , BODY r `� , , LOBOS BUN ,,,,...1 -ON BIAS Body ply cords run on bias from bead to bead.

(Woody) Woodard explains the workings of his 1 Rite Tinie Saver Fuel Control System at his Elizabeth City, N.C., service station. After buying gas and recording her odometer mileage, the customer inserts a credit card into a machine that computes key details of the transaction. Later, she'll get a report on how efficiently she uses fuel. System shows Tune-ups don't cost; they pay in economy A tune-up doesn't cost. It pays. New proof for that state- ment comes from a formula developed by a North Carolina businessman who has devised a new system to achieve economical car op- eration. Elmer R. (Woody) Woodard of South Mills, N.C., has applied computer science to his fuel dispensing operation to let customers know exactly how efficiently (or inefficiently) their vehi- cles are running. Mr. Woodard's system, known as "1 Rite Time Saver Fuel Control System," pro- vides issuance of periodic print-outs including the fol- lowing: • Quantity of fuel pur- chased • Cost of purchase • Miles traveled since last purchase . • Average miles per gallon on each purchase • Average fuel cost per mile on each purchase Mr. Woodard points out, "It's simple for a motorist to become aware that his engine needs attention when his fuel cost per mile goes up dramat- ically." Based on information he has gathered, Mr, Woodard's formula shows how im- proved fuel economy pays for a tune-up. His basic formula involves a car averaging 10 miles per gallon, driving 1,000 miles a month, purchasing gasoline for 60 cents per gallon with 10,000 -mile tune-up inter- vals. Assuming an average tune-up cost of $40, eliminat- ing a '/ of a mile per gallon loss in fuel economy would pay for the price of a tune-up over a year. Under Mr. Woodard's formula: LOST MILEAGE .25 MPG .50 MPG .75 MPG 1 MPG WASTE $15 $30 $45 $60 Calculations are based on the fact that surveys show an untuned engine consumes more than 11 percent fuel than when it is tuned. Mr, Woodard points out, tune-up is: Any service nec- essary to restore the engine to its manufacturer's spec- ifications and performance standards," "These figures are only on gasoline saved and do not take into account the more dependable starting and bet- ter performance a tune-up af- fords." While Mr. Woodard be- lieves his 1 Rite Time Saver system could benefit all motorists, his primary area of concentration is for fleet markets. He says, "A computerized analysis of fuel purchases not only provides exact informa- tion on how fuel is used, but it is also useful for tax account- ing purposes. It also helps a fleet owner detect any unau- thorized use of fuel," Mr, Woodard, a retired navy career officer, intends to franchise his 1 Rite Time Saver system nationally, Certified mechanics abound Finding a mechanic cer- tified by the National Insti- tute for Automotive Service Excellence in your neighbor- hood becomes less difficult all the time, Some 140,000 mechanics have won NIASE credentials.

The term "cut-rate" seldom applies to surgery, as we hesitate to compromise where our physical well- being is involved. A person's life and limb can be jeopardized, too, by cutting corners on safety ser- vices for the automobile, A good example is in the case of brake work. To many of us, a brake re- line means just that: new lin- ing on the brake shoes, And occasionally you may run into a repair shop that would have you believe that's all there is to it. Car owners should under- stand that the brake system is really two systems in one. First is the brake mechan- ism itself, involving linings, disc brake pads (if the car is so equipped) and brake drums or rotors. The second and equally important system is the hy- draulic system, which in- cludes the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, and the lines that connect them. These components could be over- looked in shoddy brake ser- vice.

But when it comes to caring for your car, failure to talk can prove expen- sive indeed. The nation is paying needlessly an exorbitant price in wasted fuel, deteriorated air quality and avoid- able accidents. One reason for this stems from a break- down in customer -mechanic dialog. As a case in point, the average car owner tends to neglect proper maintenance of his or her car. We know that nearly 80 percent of all cars on the road today are undermaintained in areas affecting efficient use of fuel, emission control and optimum performance. Basic service lacking In addition, an unhealthy percentage of automobiles • lacks basic service to assure maximum safety of opera-' tion. A major root cause of the situation can be rectified by getting the motorist and the mechanic on the same wave length. the key to service satisfaction is effective communi- cation. It depends on an accurate as possible descrip- tion by the motorist of what the problem is. When the motorist and the mechanic understand one another, there is a high rate of customer satisfac- tion with the job done, the survey states. After all, an automobile can't talk. It lacks the ability to tell a mechanic what ails it. The person who drives that automobile has the responsibility to describe what the problem is, how long it has been occurring and when it occurs. The service mechanic must understand this description and provide competent maintenance guid- ance in return. It is unreasonable to expect a mechanic to identify and correct a cooling system problem when you drove. in complaining about the brakes. It is equally unreason- able of the mechanic to expect an engineer's explana- tion of a problem from average customers. To establish such communication, it is most impor- tant that the motorist keep a record of all services performed on the car. By doing so, the motorist can avoid duplication of services such as a mechanic's in- stalling a new set of spark plugs when plugs were installed only a few weeks previously. ' And you, the motorist, have a right to expect these basics from your mechanic: Contact from the mechanic before work is begun, if any problem beyond the ones you complained of are discovered. The same goes for any cost estimates much beyond the original estimate. Return of any parts replaced. You may not want to keep a grease -coated set of old shocks, but you should at least be allowed to examine them. Respect from the mechanic who should never overestimate your knowledge or underestimate your intelligence. Now that the appealing time for motoring, the warm weather vacation period is upon us, getting your car in condition for the road makes sense. This newspaper section is intended to provide you with information to make you more aware of what it takes to care for your car. Happy motoring By using this information and your own common sense to communicate effectively with those who ser- vice your car, you'll enjoy happy motoring in the months to come. Over cups of coffee, a motorist and a mechanic discuss needed service work on her car. By bringing in records of previous work done and a "diary" of maintenance she can assist the service man in a proper diagnosis of the problem. 1 Partil& labor 11 une p Most 4- 29 95 cylinder Most 6-' ■ 95 cylinder Parts* labor Parts* & Labor Most 8 .95 cylinder Parts* & Labor ENGINE ANALYSIS included *We Supply and Install: New Turbo -Fire Spark Plugs; New Rotor; New Points and Condenser (points and condenser not required on Electronic Ignition).
