Westphal of Rt. 1,Spring Grove, escaped with only slight injuries Saturday ANALYZE WATER WELLS Analyzing where water wells lose their efficiency and why is a current research project of the Illinois State Water Survey. Because wells are not always efficient, the Water Survey is measuring the energy losses in moving water from one place to another. "When we get a better understanding of these losses," H.F.Smith,head of the hydrology Section of the survey said, "we can devise a formula for well design that will jgive a more efficient yell and probably a more economical well to build.' ' Two experimental wells in action will be on exhibit on Oct. 12 at the survey headquarters in Champaign, as part of the Illinois Sesquicentennial observance. Other exhibits ,'Will demonstrate research on yields of wells and a.^uifiers, ^reservoir water supplies, Preble lems of water quality and other £ facets of water resources re- ;• search. when his car struck the parked auto of David Lake, River road, McHenry.

You should do it soon unless you live in the lower third of the country and don't plan to drive north this winter. Winterizing means more than just an oil change and an antifreeze check, according to the National Safety council's committee on winter driving hazards. These are important, certainly, but here's what else should be "winterized" on your car: Tires -- you need good, even tread to bite and grip, avoiding skids and spinning starts on slippery pavement or snow. Keep your tires at recommended pressures; low pressure doesn't improve traction, it only increases wear. The NSC recommends using snow tires or reinforced chains. Here's how they compare: On loosely packed snow, snow tires give 51 percent better traction than regular tires; chains give 313 percent better traction. On glare ice (at 25 degrees), snow tires are 28 percent better than regular tires; studded snow tires are about 200 percent better, and chains are 630 percent better. Brakes - check and adjust, if necessary. Uneven pull or brakes that grab too easily can send you into a skid. Windshield -- live wiper blades with a sharp edge prevent streaking. Also be sure the wiper arm tension is correct, and that you have the proper waterto- antifreeze solution in your windshield washer reservoir. Heater - make sure the heater fan works, and that the controls operate easily. Your defroster should be able to clear all window glass inthecarinthe most severe weather. Exhaust -- have the muffler and pipe inspected for leaks. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and you can't smell it. In a closed car it can make you sick or dull your reactions - deadly in today's traffic. A Battery - cold weather saps battery power. Make sure^your battery will hold a full charge and that your generator is working properly. Have the battery checked once a month during cold weather. Engine ~ a tuneup and carburetor cleaning is advisable if you haven't had one in the past six months. Slow starts cair drain the battery, and stalls are costly and dangerous in traffic. Many motorists switch to premium gasoline in winter months, but be sure you have your engine adjusted to do this. Snowbrush - make sure you have a brush or broom in the car, and a scraper. Clean all windows -- don't be a peephole driver. I assume botli^of you have made a final decision.

NO PROPOSED NATURAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT BOND ACT are fewer, but when an accident does happen, with the speed involved, it's likely to be a big one. There are many things you can do to adjust to superhighway driving. Learn how to get on an expressway. Wait for an opening and then keep far right while you are getting up speed. Chose your lane and stay with it. Leave plenty of room between you and the car ahead. Follow no closer than one car length for every 10 miles of speed. At 60 miles an hour you need 317 feet to stop. That's half a city block! On long trips, watch for "Highway Hypnosis." If you get tired, pull off the road, walk around the car and keep the window down for fresh air. Space will not permit further enlargement on the hazards of superhighway driving, but studying "Rules of the Road" will help you to be a ^better driver off and on the Expressways.
