PAGE 2- SUPPLEMENT TO THfc MclilLi\it X m., ov, i. ax, -* WARM ENGINE BY DRIVING. Drivers will ob­ tain better economy by driving the car to warm the engine, rather than allowing it to idle exces­ sively. This speeds up the warming process, and thus saves gasoline. The driver must remember, however, that a cold engine does not respond as quickly, so care must be exercised in all traffic situations where engine response is critical. % The more you drive one. ftie more youll want to own one We 3i ve you a 24-hour Trial, not just a 10-minute test drive.

ELM McHENRY Ph. 385-0720 Advent of Bad Weather Season Accentuates Need for Check-Up Like the dieter who has just shed 20 pounds and re­ wards himself with a double banana split, the motorist seems to be celebrating the abatement of the severe gasoline shortage with a new binge of wastefulness. At least this is the contention of the U.S. Federal Energy Agency which is detecting signs of "business as usual" when it comes to use of fuel. Even though the supply of gasoline at the fuel pump is more plentiful now than earlier this year, serious problems remain. Gasoline prices are in some cases double what they were before the crisis. Some say they are going to rise even higher. Oil supply dwindles daily There is still only a given amount of oil left in the earth and that supply dwindles every day. Noted author Barbara Ward is among those who believe that the supply of crude oil will be exhausted in a century or two? On the shorter term basis, there is' still a lack of political stability in many parts of the oil-producing world and black gold remains a potent bargaining weapon. Thus common sense dictates that the motorist con­ tinue the gasoline-saving efforts he made during the depths of the shortage. He should continue to observe those prudent practices of careful driving. Yet, here's what seems to be happening. Police re­ port that cars are being driven faster than the 55 mile per hour speed limit. Expressway traffic jams are reach­ ing their pre-shortage density as public transportation and car pools are being abandoned. With the hardest driving days of all coming upon us this fall and winter, it is hoped that good car mainte­ nance remains a habit with the motorist. Fall and winter driving conditions often create slow and stop-and-go-traffic patterns. This situation is waste­ ful of expensive fuel and only a car with a well-tuned engine can get efficient gas consumption. Tuned engine best Insurance A tuned engine is also the best insurance against what AAA indicates is the Number One problem facing motorists. That is starting trouble which affects about 50,000,000 car owners, primarily striking in the winter time. So with gasoline prices at record-high levels, the prices of new cars at all-time highs and costs in general on an upward cycle, money spent on car maintenance is a sound investment. In addition to keeping your car running longer and better on the least possible fuel, maintenance gives you the extra benefits of safety, good performance and trouble-free operation all year around. Start by making sure this fall and winter find you in a well-functioning car. Ask your favorite auto service­ man to check your car from bumper to bumper and roof to tire treads. rUK Ntff AND RECONDITIONED. 3X RADIATORS AND HEATERS PLUS Service On All Makes Of Air Conditioning ADAMS BROS. 3006 W.
