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

Car Care Quiz
CAR CARE SECTION
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 coming months by corn-
paring the records to your
car's recommended schedule
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 for a 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.
