Well Number One Son decided last week `he would dive me my first - how to boost another vehicle. Now 1 have had for over a year, a spanking new set of booster cables - a romantic Ohristmas gift 'from Mr. Fixit! They replaced an -antique set I was car- rying in the car. I was told that despite the fact 1 didn't know bow to use them, it was a good idea to have them with me. Over the years Mr. Fixit's predic- tions came true. Numerous times other office staff have had to have a :boost and I _could always come to the rescue with the cables - as long as they knew what to dowith them. I cannot coma how many times I have been given verbal instructions on the pro- per :use of booster cables. Each time, it sounded simple enough, but to be honest, within one hour I really couldn't remember the proper method of boosting. I would always remember that dire war- ning "never cross the cables, as in black to red, or red to :black." When I asked why not, I was simply told "just don't to it!" I presume it can be harmful to either the booster's or boostee's vehicle. Each time I was called upon to give someone a boost, I literally ',shook in my boots" while he hooked up the cables and got his car going. I had visions of the boostee not knowing anymore than I did and as a result my having a frizzed bat- tery. I could hear Mr. Fixit's comments if I had to tell him what had happened! Number One Son's -decision to give me a "hands ow:lesson" started out smoothly enough. I managed to get the hood of the AMEUNG$ by Pat Livingston massommosimmummiggiiiii car up without breaking all niy finger- nails. ingernails. Yes we have a hood release in the car, but then there's that tricky mechanism you must release to allow the hood to raise completely. Really, if car builders are going to place an automatic hood release inside the car, why doesn't it release all the way? Removing the cables from the box in the tri was the easiest part of the lesson. 1 was impressed with their shiny red cables and sparkling clamps, (I think that's what you call them ) ; one was red and one was black. As we proceeded to the front of the car, Number One Son tells me that all batteries have a plus and a minus mark beside the battery posts. I was instructed to determine which one was the plus. I carefully scrutinized the battery and then pointed to the one I figured was the plus side. My teacher asked me to explain how I figured that out. I pointed to this little mark I thought was a plus symbol. Much to my chagrin, that mark was not the plus sign! I had however lucked out and was on the right side of the battery." With just a hint of sarcasm in his voice, my teacher said, "Mom, sometimes you may have to dirty your fingers and rub an area on the battery to be sure you have the correct symbol ! " Th -next se�.^n,of he 'es n was how to attach the clamp to the post. The clamps were so strong i figured I was going to have to stand on them to get them to open. By using both hands I came close to spreading it open com- pletely, but not quite enough to attach it easily. My teacher had to intervene - again. I was next admonished not to Turn to page 5 MANNISH TAILORED DOUBLE BREASTED COAT, .patch pockets flaps. ,i coat A STRICTLY MANNISH TAILORED SUiT, double breasted, lower button to ts, with regular flap SINGLE BREASTED TWO BUTTON SPORT SUiT, This is an exact duplication of the bi-s,wing so popular with amen.
