automobiles in best operating condition with women approaching 50 percent of the nation s driving population their interest in what makes a car tick is on the upswing many women will readily admit that theii knowledge of what is needed to keep the car in good running condition is limited to getting gvoline or perhaps an oil change the men tion of the need for nea points a carburetor adjustment or new spark plues leaves many women bewildered this is the reason the term pow der puff mechanics is ber coming more familiar acres the country schools y s even some auto dealerships and service stations are offering classes in basic auto mechanics for women these courses conducted by qualified mechanics explain ta nontechnical language the fundamentals of how cars work and how to keep them working in some instances films are employed to spell out in detail the workings of a car s engine an example of this type school is the one conducted at the downtown detroit ywca a wellplanned program the series ol tenweek courses in car care is held as part of the ywcas adult activities pro gram classes are held in two sessions for two hours one night each week for a total of 10 hours per session the first five sessions con- slst of classroom discussions where students learn the fun damentals of how a car runs and how to keep it in good run ning condition how to avoid major repair bills by learning to recognize strange noises and danger signals the second five weeks con sist of actual underthehood practice with classes held in a downtown garage here the women actually do onthejob mechanical work although women who at tend these classes come from all walks of life housewives nurses teachers students sec retaries they all have the same prime purpose in mind to leam the mechanics of an automobile and too women want to be more knowledgeable when dealing with the people who service their car in addition many of them want to obtain enough information about the workings of their car to avoid that feeling of panic should the car stall on a lonely rbad or on a crowded expressway but whatever tneir reasons more and more women drivers are finding the answers lie in the

might be losing cash ii your cars engine ran on money instead of gasoline chances are you d be throwing away up to 50 cents every tankful based on findings of a recent test program conducted by champion spark plug com pany the average motorist is wasting about a gallon and a half of gasoline per tankful the tests measured gasoline consumption before and after tuneup using a unique port able dynamometer manufac tured by laboratory equip ment corp mooresrille indi ana the champion program also probed the effects of tune- up on power and passing per formance according to george m gal- ster manager of champions automotive technical services department one unfortunate fact is that the motorist doesnt realize his cars per formance and economy is suf fering in fact when asked before tuneop how his car is running he usually answers okay galster mentioned that 60 percent ol all us cars are in need of tuneup at any given time the typical xjs driver s in difference to engine mainte nance was shown in a recent champion survey on why mo torists neglect tuneup major reasons for neglect were 1 they think they don t need it 2 i they are concerned about the cost and 3i they find it inconvenient galster remarked i feel these attitudes stem from the motorist s not being aware of tuneup benefits yoroample nearly 60 percent failed to mention better starting and forty percent of the respond ents did not list improved gas economy and performance as benefits only four percent saw any safety implications de spite the safer accelerating performance that results from a properly tuned
