As the engine speed increases, the voltage must increase to make the spark plug perform its duty; often doubling in the case of flooring the accelerator when passing. Now, as the spark plug wears its electrodes, the spark gap widens and demands even more voltage until the coil cannot build up the voltage needed, and the plug misfires. This misfiring action now causes a number of effects In your auto engine that is expensive to you. Extra gasoline and oil Is consumed for less motor efficiency. Carbon begins to increase which means eventual, expensive engine service. Starting gets more difficult and drains the battery. And there are a few more expenses, too, but why go on . . . Get over to PETE'S SINCLAIR at 4416 W. ftte. 120, Lakeland Park for our spark plug service. You'll be money ahead in the long run. Girl Scouts The Girl Scouts chose their patrol leaders at their Wednesday meeting. They are: Lynn Newlon, leader; Cindy Bolger, assistant leader; Janet Larkin, leader; Linda Cairns, assistant leader; Barbara Miller, leader; Colleen Sweeney, ass i s t a n t leader.

They play cowboys and Indi.-ms among the trees, climb them and make tree houses in them. They gather hickory nuts, flowers, and tadpoles and snails. Sometimes they have cook-outs and bring picnic lunches there. We feel as though hunters are traspassers in this area so close to our homes and surely hunting can't bo good in a woods full of noisy, laughing children. This is the hunting season now and many hunters are unaware of this situation and bullets zing away at the few almost tame di'.rks in the slough. We're sure hunters would hunt in much better places if they were informed of the danger of getting one of our children instead of game and of the worry of the parents every time they hear a shot ring out in that area. If you are a hunter and reading this please stay out of our woods and inform your friends of this, our woods, our children's accepted playground and hunt further afield.

Apologies go to all those birthdays from that week; especially to the children who looked for their name there. Also to all of: you who called in your news and to you" who co-operate regularly and share your news with us whenever I give you a call. At this time I wish to acknowledge the kindness of all of you who have carried in the col umn for me on a Friday and hope that you who missed this column and called me will be willing to take it; in some Friday for me. McHcnry's mile distance is the same as ten for me when my only transporta tion is a baby buggy. Thanks again for your concern, and you know, it's nice to be missed! •Wft <:< .v.

COUNTY TV £t TOPICS by Ed Vestgard v TV STUFF TRANSISTORIZED WHALES I see that the navy airforce is shooting small battery powered transistors into whales. These receiving and transmitting units are attached to darts that stick in the thick blubber, and ride along to the depths of the ocean as the whale goes about its business. Sounds are picked-up that ordinarily nev„er could be heard, and sent to nearby cruisers and submarines for analysis. What will they think of next? Why couldn't some manufacturer market an inexpensive gadget on this order so mothers could attach it to their roaming youngsters? If the home receiving unit suddenly became quiet, it would be a warning that something is amiss with Junior. This would be a good source of repair business for COUNTY T.V. & FURNITURE CENTER too. Every time Junior would take it apart, that TV number 385-4020 would be called, and we could reassemble the thing. You'll like our other services, anyway. TV & Furniture Center 3413 W.
