AD ICE TONVOMEN who DRIVE... aricIMEN.Thio... from DE DE BENSON••• a woman who does engine in neutral. This may be nothing more than looseness, which can be corrected in a jiffy, But if excessive looseness is al-lowed to persist, slippage results, and that means rapid wear. Finally, when the belt point, it may emit a click, click sound, especially no-ticeable at idle. It will speed up as you accelerate the engine and sound al-most like a noisy valve. This sound is caused by a large crack, or separa-tion, in the belt, which hits the pulley with each revolution. It is a symptom of advanced old age, the brink of failure. If old faithful drive belt does snap all the way, you're in for trouble. So keep an eye and an ear open for signs of failure, and ask your automobile service man to check into it right away.

...STRONGEST glass-belted construction
re 2 Beefy Plies of stronger-than-ever Oa Poet fie Nylon ensure twice the
'Run-Soft, Safe Warning Time' possible/Only with Nylon (see Nevada
Test results posted in your local Canachn Tire store).
• 2 Beefy Pries of ere-Bat-spotting Polyester
-smooth-riding comfort.
• 2 Belts of Kevin (Rue 8) to hold tread firm
from squirm and achieve almost double the
mileage of many other tires.
Ksyfar Fire B) is the revolutionary new cord
developed by Du Pont for the longer-mileage
tires, lice bias-belts and radials. Provides a
"softer-than.steel' ride. Won't kink like steel
or fail like glass under severe compression.
And its fewer pounds mean less unsprung
weight per wheel resulting in less front-end
wear. All of which adds up to a super tire ...
and, we believe, one of the best tire values in
all North America. Prove it for yourself.

• 4 Body Plies of stronger-than-ever Du Pont 66 Nylon
instead of the generally-used 2 body plies on most
new cars.
• 2 Glass Belts for extra strength, extra mileage.
That 4+2 construction in our 'Belf-O-Glass' provides
6 undertread plies for extra strength and extra
safety. (That doubles up the sidewall plies too!)
Those 4 body plies of Du Pont 66 Nylon give twice
the 'Run-Soft, Safe Warning Time' (see the Nevada
Desert Test results posted in the tire department of
our stores). Naturally this construction is costlier to
make and is seldom offered for sale elsewhere, let
alone at our famous value-packed prices. Your
slight extra cost represents an i.,vestment that will
pay off many times dyer in more tread miles, more
gas miles ... and that big increase in safety!

4 S. Tune-up could save up to $110 a year 1 zb. • Wise drivers will heed language of drive belt Dear DeDe: As I write this letter, I am hbartsick. I lust re-turned from visiting 4 neighbor's son in the hos-pital where he has been for two months. He's 19 years old, a talented ath-lete and now the doctors say it will be a miracle if he ever walks again. It seems Bob -was involved in an. accident. After seeing the car he was driving, it's no wonder. The wheels wobbled. One headlight was completely The front end sagged like an old horse. Can't some-thing be done about get-ting death traps like that off the highway? It may be too late to help Bob but what about other kids? MRS. LMB Silver Springs, Md. Belts help 'reduce car
fatalities
Hospitals in Australia
are reporting a drop of
24% in bed occupancy
since the introduction of
mandatory seat belt wear-
ing legislation.
In Victoria the belt
wearing laW has been in
two years, and they have
experienced a 20.8% re-
duction in road deaths. In
the rest of Australia the
seat belt law is just one
year old, and there has
already been a 17.2%
reduction in automobile
deaths throughout the
country, Serious injuries,
they stated, have been
reduced by about 50%
How would you like to save yourself nearly $110? if your car is one of those described by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other sources as wasting as much as 25 per cent of its gaso-line supply, then such sav-ings are possible. Simple mathematics tell the story. Say your car travels 15,000 miles a year and is capable of getting 15 miles per gallon. If you are paying 601 cents a gallon for fuel, your annual expenditure would be $600. Should you be losing 25 per cent in gas wasted, then you are out $150. According to that same EPA report, keeping an! automobile tuned up can, improve fuel economy. And a recent sur- vey shpws the average cost of a tune-up today is around $42. So a tune-up every 10,-000 miles plus necessary minor adjustments along the way can save you a nice hunk of change. Even if your car saves the U.S. and Canadian average of 8.2 per cent after a needed tune-up, you'll still save more in fuel costs than the price of the work. Gas savings under the circumstances described above would be just below $50 per year. Mr. Walker said, "In every test we've ever con-ducted, we've found a tuned car has better foul-weather starting success than a car in need of a time-up. In fact, untuned cars have twice as many `won't starts' than tuned cars." A road service call for a start in a remote location where a tow is needed May cost about half the price of a tune-up, he, noted. Tune-up benefits that may not result in cash savings stillniake drivirig safer and more pleasure-able. In tests conducted by Champion, emission levels were sharply reduced after tune-up. Average carbon monoxide (CO). emissions were reduced 50 per cent (at idle) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were .47 per cent lower (also at idle) after tune-up. By JODY CARR Among the inner circle of the auto parts world, it is said that the unsung hero of all unsung heroes is the fan belt, or drive belt. It drives a Iot more than just the fan. Ask. any generator, wa-ter pump, power steering pump or fan. These com-ponents will vouch for the drive belt, without which they would be looking for another way to go. • -However, this is not why the drive belt has earned its reputatiOn as the good guy: It is esteemed, be-cause the last thing it wants to do is let its bud-dies down. This means it doesn't want to let you down, either. Still, the best of drive belts can't last forever. When one breaks, your car may overheat, your bat-tery may die, your power steering may give out or your air conditioning may quit. You may experience a
couple of these traumatic
situations simultaneously.
So your drive belt tries to
help you anticipate trou-
ble by providing a unique
combination of audible
and visual warnings of
impending problems.
First, look for visual
signs of old age. Twist the
belt. Notice that it is V-.„
shaped, fitting into a V-
shaped pulley. The sides
of the V on the belt are -
what-, do the driving. Are
they cracked, frayed or -
glazed?
This may be enough to
tell you that Old Faithful
wants to retire. -
Or the belt may signal
you audibly, by screeching
when you accelerate the
Dear Mrs. LMB: Unfortunately for Bob, you live in a state that has no Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection. Maryland - is one of 19 states that have no compulsory check on the safety of their cars. Therefore, except for spot checks by the state police, you have no' protection against "accidents waiting to happen" like your luck-less neighbor's car. If you feel strongly that a PMVI law is needed, then- write your state representative in Annapolis. Residents of other states should write their legislators, too, in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin.

ice, the mechanic told me
hot spark plugs would

he doesn't mean stolen
spark plugs but what is
he talking about. Was Jte kidding, burnous IM DUBUQUE Dear Dubious: I -don't think so. Spark plugs are designed in var-ious heat ranges to accom-modate the kind of driving the owner does. In your case, you probably CIO a lot of short-dlstande, low-speed driving. Your engine may not get properly "warmed" and carbon may be accumulating on your plugs, hampering their efficiency. So a plug with a. "hotter" heat range to burn off carbon sounda like a proper prescription. I'll bet that's what Your mechanic really - meant, Ask him.
