According to Champion Spark Plug Company, more than one out of every four motorists will have starting trouble this winter. Of those who have trouble, three out of every five will experience it more than once. That starting trouble is truly the No. 1 motoring ill 15 demonstrated by latest Amer­ ican Automobile Association figures. AAA reported that 30,000,000 U.S. motorists called for starting assistance in 1967. That was a 20 percent increase over the previous year's total. In fact, the AAA said, 43 percent of all road service calls resulted from starting fail­ ure. This percentage was more than double the rate of flat tires and almost triple the in­ cidence of motorists stuck in snow or mud. George M. Galster, manager of Champion's automotive technical services department, says that lack of engine and ignition system maintenance is the primary cause of start­ ing troubles. Galster quoted a survey con­ ducted by the Missouri Auto Club in St. Louis. The auto club studied tests on more than 1,600 cars run through its diagnostic center, Galster said. Ignition defects were the most frequently found faults with an average of .94 defects per car tested. Effects of engine condition on starting were shown in a five-year, 50,000 car study of hard starting conducted by Champion. This year figures revealed that 21% of the na­ tion's motorists experienced starting trouble. Maintenance, rather than severity of weather, is the key to wintertime starting, Galster reported. The Champion study found that where engine mainte­ nance was neglected incidence of starting problems was high. Conversely, where mainte­ nance was practiced, the start­ ing trouble rate was low* In the Province of Quebec with severe winters, only 19.5 percent of motorists contact­ ed reported starting problems. Rate of pre-winter tune-up purchases was 43 percent. Both figures were the best in North America. Tune-Up Yet in the Province of Brit­ ish Columbia with mild but wet winters, rate of starting trouble was 32.2 percent and rate of tune-up purchase was only 26.8 percent. Quebec's starting experience was better than any U.S. area including the Southern States and the West Coast.

Yet the fact that they have as much starting trouble as their cold climate neighbors shows they are mistaken." Galster remarked that while no one has come up with a cure for our leading winter problem -- the cold -- there is a cure for the No. 2 ailment.

When watering mums, be sure to apply enough water to thoroughly soak the top 6 inches of the soil. Do not water again until the soil is dry and the plants begin to wilt slight­ ly. Apply water to soil; water splashed on foliage may spread diseases and nematodes. * J#™ „ * t INVITATIONS • ANNOUNCEMENTS INFORMAL NOTES • ACCESSORIES COLD OR SILVER UNED WEDDING ENVELOPES ^UaUiMtta Ut* uie * * * t $ * * t * * THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SELECTION OF WEDDING STATIONERY EVtR PRESENTED! * NAPKINS * COASTERS * CAKE BAGS , * BOOK MATCHES AoadakU at McHENRY PLAINDEALER . 3812 W.
