Staining the car's cute-' rior fabric, especially for the first time, can be a trying experience. Usually the owner has been proud-ly keeping the outside clean and bright, but he or she has very little knowl- ' edge about how to remove a smudge of chocolate or shoe polish from the seat ' fabrics..

Do not use too much cleaning fluid because an excessive amount may destroy rubber padding or leave a soi- 1 vent ring. There, are two ways of cleaning general ' soilage from cloth fabrics. One is with a cleaning fluid and the other is with detergent foam cleaners. Cleaning Fluid Use Cleaning fluid, which can usually be obtained through an automobile dealer or reputable auto-motive supply house, should be used to clean stains containing grease, oil or fats'. Here's how to use it: I. Vacuum area to re-move loose dirt. 2. Always clean at least a full panel or section of trim by masking off
adjacent trim along
stitch or weld lines.
3. Mix detergent type of
foam cleaners strictly
according to directions
on label.
4. Use foam only on a
clean sponge or soft
bristle brush. Do not
wet fabric excessively
o1- rub hkrshly with a
brush.
5. Wipe clean with a
slightly damp absorb-
ent towel or cloth.
6. Immediately dry fabric
with a dry towel or
hair dryer.
7. Rewipe fabric with dry
absorbent towel or
cloth to—restore the
luster of the trim- and
to eliminate any dried
- residue.

• A BOOK REVIEW "Save Money, Save Gas" by Robert W. Irvin, Enter-prise Publications, New York — Other than to stop eating, there is prac-tically no way to save money readily than to cut down on gasoline con-sumption. If you are typi-cal, you may not be able to reduce the amount of driving you do. But Bon Irvin, the dean of auto-motive editors, has written a definitive guide to help You make that driving cost a whole lot less. Irvin writes, "One thing is true for every car — you can improve fuel econ-omy by better mainte-nance and car care." And he proves .it. Tune-up benefits Defining a tune-up as checking the carburetor, the engine compression, cleaning or replacing the air cleaner element, gap-ping or replacing the spark plugs or distributor points, Irvin explains the benefits. The author quotes the US. Environmental Agen-cy which says, "Keeping an automobile tarred up can, on the average, im-prove fuel economy 6 pen cent as compared to an untuned automobile. How-ever, an individual vehicle which is grossly malad-justed or undermaintained — for example, spark plug misfire, air filters clogged, carburetor improperly afi-

outside.
3. If it is impossible to
leave the car while float-
ing, the car doors can
usually be opened un-
derwater because outside
pressure of water has been
equalized.
4. If the car is dam-
aged to the extent that
none of these ways of es-
cape can be taken, use the
feet or shoulders to re-
move the front or back
window by pushing it
out. This can best be-
done by pushing in the

justed—can suffer signifi-cantlyworse fuel economy penalties of 20 per cent or more." - Packed into the 95 pages of the book are numerous gas-saving tips that have eluded many writers on the subject. Irvin points out that Les Vilanti, an
economy run veteran, is
an advocate of waxing
the vehicle, even the tires
and fan blades, as an aid
to better gasoline mileage.
Weaving wastes

ists who weave in and out

can waste up to 43 per
