Put another way, once the car gets here, who's going to take care of it? Til now, Japanese imports have pretty much had to rely on the dealer­ ships they themselves set up in the U.S. But now comes an import with a dif­ ferent way of doing things. An import that comes from Japan...to America... Dodge Coft, imported from Japan, but sold, I, ana backed by Dodge, coast to coast c/o Dodge. The Colt is sold and serviced and backed to the hilt by a network of Dodge Colt Dealers that stretches from one side of the U.S. to the other. Which means that though the Colt may be built over 5,000 miles away, it'll be cared for by a man who's right around the corner. And speaking of being built, wait' 11 you see what Colt comes with as stan­ dard equipment .. • Front disc brakes • Reclining bucket seats (except on coupe) • Overhead cam hemi engine • Four-speed transmission (we think it's the best in the industry) • Hidden radio antenna • Easy-to-care-for vinyl upholstery • Plus a lot of other things you'd expect on a little car.

Shortage In Phosphate Supply Becomes Reality A shortage in phosphate supply is a reality, and farmers should arange to have spreading carried out right now, Stanley Steagall, general manager for McHenry FS, said this week. McHenry FS, the farmer- owned cooperative, serves farmers in Walworth and McHenry counties with a full line of farm supplies and has the equipment and several facilities necessary to carry out i m m e d i a t e s p r e a d i n g programs while the ground is frozen. All suppliers face a shortage, but McHenry FS is fortunate in that it has obtained its allocation, and the company is farmer-owned so that the supplies it does have will be channeled to McHenry FS patrons," said Steagall. The shortage of rail cars adds to the problem. The fact that servation, reported a total of 747 deer were reported killed on Illinois highways last year. A state wide search is under way for the top high school photographer in Illinois. Details of a 1963 high school photo contest will be given by the Illinois Press Photographers association, sponsors of the competition. manufacturers can receive more for their product in the overseas market has brought about the shortage. Since FS Services is farmer-owned, all its production stays in its three- state area. "In order for us to serve our customers during this spring season, we must spread a much larger amount in the final days of February and in March," asserted Steagall. "Wintertime spreading is a good way to get this important job done, and the salts in the fertilizer will melt through the ice and snow and adhere to the soil." The wet fall, and bad winter weather adds to the burden of getting the springtime fertilizer spreading taken care of, adds Steagall. Because some of the other companies have sold overseas where the price is higher, their shortage will be more intense and those people will come to FS looking for phosphate-adding to the pressure on our rationed supply, summarizes Steagall. This dormant season fer­ tilization program is in keeping with recommendations from leading Midwest universities. ISSUE CHARTER The state has issued a charter to A.V.P. Enterprises, Inc., "to conduct an import- export business, deal in real estate and securities, general business consultants, farming and deal with books, stories and articles." Eye Defects May Be Corrected Through Surgery Children born with crossed eyes should have them corrected by surgery within the first six months of life, ac­ cording to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. There is another group of children who develop crossed eyes after birth. With these, the society states, it is often possible to correct the defect with exercise and glasses. If these do not work, surgery is required. "Lazy eye" results from one eye being weaker than the other. When this happens the stronger eye is used more and more and the vision in the weak eye is suppressed. When the vision center does not get enough stimulation, and it does not in cases of "lazy eye", it will eventually degenerate to a point at which it cannot be restored. Before the age of seven, "lazy eye is frequently treated by covering the stronger eye with a patch and forcing the weaker one to work. Many people think that crossed eyes will right them­ s e l v e s i n t i m e b u t t h a t i s a mistaken idea. Aggressive treatment must be undertaken to correct this condition before it is too late. UNNYSIDE DODGE 4810 W. Rte. 120 McHenry 815-385-7220 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY How a humidifier can help you save fuel. When the air in your home is too dry, you feel colder because the moisture on your skin evaporates faster. To keep warm you may raise the thermostat. But the higher your thermostat setting the higher your fuel bill. With a higher humidity, most people are comfortable at a lower temperature. For every degree not needed over 70, you can save as much as 3% on your heating bill. If you're as comfortable at 72 degrees as 75 degrees, you can save almost 10% on the lower setting. This principle applies essentially to all heating fuels--electricity, gas or oil. Humidifiers are available in either portable styles or, for warm air heating systems, there are permanently installed models. To find the correct one for your home, contact your heating contractor, department or appliance store. We have a booklet that covers heating as well as other areas where you can conserve energy.
