Dear DeDe; You've heard of couples who have become incom- patible in the bedroom because he wants the win- dow open and she wants it shut. Well, Frank and I have the same problem but only it's in the car. That nut wants the win- dow' open, even in the Manitoba winter. He claims it's healthier. What's the use of having a heater, doors and win- dow if you're going to keep the stupid window open. FREEZIN' ELOISE Winnipeg, Man. Dear Eloise: Frank may not be as nutty as you think. Most auto experts say it's a good idea to keep the window open slightly when driv- ing, Why? If there is an undetected leak in the exhaust system, the car- bon monoxide fumes, which are colorless and odorless, could seep into the car. Should this hap- pen, if you're lucky you'll get ill. If unlucky, it could be fatal. Tell wide-awake Frank that the window needn't be open all the way to guard against the CO menace. But, more im- portant, tell him to have your car's exhaust system checked every time it's up on the service rack (or at least every six months) . Dear DeDe: I must confess, I some- times do not understand the mentality of the mo- toring public. I've had my car for sale for about a month and no buyers. I have always made sure the car is in top operating condition. The brakes are almost new, the exhaust system is brand new and there is not one thing wrong with it mechani- cally. There are a few dents and a rust hole or two and the paint is kind of shabby, I'll admit. But it's not the paint job that will carry people around -t safely. It's the general me- chanical condition. Why are people such fools? Why don't they know a good car when they see it? NO SALE NORMAN Perth Amboy, N.J. Dear No Sale: What you say may be true. No car ever had starting trouble because of a faded paint job or couldn't stop in time be- cause of a dinged fender. But you are learning a fact of car life. Anyone in the car-selling business can tell you a well-main- tained exterior can bring several hundred dollars more at trade-in time. And as you are noticing, a shabby car may attract no customers at all. You, don't tell me the age of your car or how it is equipped but it might pay you to have the dents bumped out, rust repaired and the car painted. In any case, take care of your next car as well on the surface as you do' under the skin.
