Tips For The Novice Automechanic • By Don B. Wilson, Member, SAE How To Install Trailer Hitches Virginia Shore Saved Shipwrecked Ponies Anybody having frequent occasion to pull a trailer be­ hind his car should seriously consider intalling a trailer hitch in preference to using the clamp-on type, as a hitch properly installed represents a far safer means of towing. You can competently in­ stall hitches yourself, and de­ tailed instructions are in­ cluded with the hitch com­ ponents. The Automotive Parts & Accessories Associa­ tion has additional advice. Be certain you have select­ ed a hitch of the proper capa­ city for the load you will be towing. It should be marked with the coupling manufac­ turer's name, initials or trade­ mark; part, style or model number; SAE coupling desig­ nations and gross trailer weight (maximum to be car­ ried); the ball diameter for which the coupling is design­ ed. A Class 1 hitch is good for trailers, including load, of up to 2,000 lbs. A Class 2 hitch is for trailers with loads in­ cluded of from 2,000 to 3500 lbs. A Class 3 hitch must be used for loaded trailers with gross weights over 3500 lbs. but not over 5,000 lbs. A Class 4 hitch must be used for trailers that when loaded will exceed 5,000 lbs. but not 10,000 lbs. You may use a heavier class hitch than needed, but never a lighter one. Installation of the hitch can be made a lot easier if you back the car on to a pair of substantial ramps, to get it up where you can get under it and put some pressure on a drill. Use only the high-strength bolts and nuts provided in the kit to attach the hitch to the car. Buy and install a good quality electrical connector for the trailer lights and fc) Automotive Parts & Accessories Association brakes (if it is so equipped). Solder all splices and tape splices securely. Heat-shrink- able tape is really good to keep out moisture from these splices. Use a tube of liquid rubber to seal the back end of the connector and that matching unit on the trailer umbilical. Keeping moisture out of the wiring is essential to contin­ ued trouble-free operation. Don't forget to install a variable load flasher. Your safety chain or chains should be long enough to permit all expected maneu­ vers of the combination ef­ fected by the joining of the car and trailer, but not long­ er. They must also be crossed under the trailer tongue in a manner to catch it and keep it from touching the ground should the ball or socket or other connecting device such as an eye and pintle hook fail. The installation of a trailer hitch gives you another bonus: added protection for the rear of your car should someone run into you from that direction. It also is an ideal place to fasten a rope or line for pull­ ing something that needs to be pulled, like a dead bush from the lawn, your son's ja­ lopy or whatever, and it can all be done without damage to your car or distorting the bumper. Planned Kitchens . Preparing food properly takes a lot of time and energy A well- planned kitchen can save a lot of both Store supplies and uten­ sils used most between 28 and 64 inches from the floor That way they can be reached with­ out stretching Door pulls and knobs should be conveniently lo­ cated, too. They should be low on wall cabinets and high on base cabinets The Borrower The neighborhood bor­ rower approached Mr. Smith Sunday noon and inquired: "Say, Smith, are you us­ ing your lawnmower this afternoon?" "Yes. I am," Smith re­ plied warily. "Fine. Then you won't be wanting your golf clubs --I'll just borrow them." J*.

In the 16th-century, a wrecked Spanish galleon spilled a herd of mustangs into the waters off the coast of Assateague Island. Many struggled to shore and sur­ vived. Today, their shaggy-haired descendants still roam As­ sateague Island National Sea­ shore and Chincoteague Wild­ life Refuge on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Many of the animals, just slightly larger than Shetland ponies, wander along the roadsides, nibbling the salt marsh grass which has stunted their growth through the years. Beyond the dune-studded coast of the island, more than 275 species of birds flock to the marshes and ponds which also have become a retreat for exotic Sika deer and other small game. In contrast to Assateague's secluded beaches, primitive charm and tranquility is the lively resort community of Virginia Beach. Deluxe hotels, condominiums and cottages overlook 80 blocks of the 28- mile-long beach. The main beach and boardwalk is backed by shops, boutiques and night spots featuring name entertainers. More than 75 tennis courts and several golf courses are also open to the public. Like Assateague, the gentle surf is excellent for swim- PAGE 3 - PLAINDFA1.FP.WFDNFSDAY SFPTFMBFR 8, 197^ OUTDOOR TOPICS HOSPITAL NOTES ming, but favorable for surf­ ing, too. Motor boating, sail­ ing, skiing, and fishing^ are equally popular water sports. Connecting the Eastern Shore to Virginia Beach is the 18-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Described by engineers as one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the structure spans the wide mouth of the Bay. Near the exit of the bridge, in Virginia Beach, visitors can take a side trip into his­ tory at the Adam Thorough- good House. Built about 1636, the house is believed to be the oldest brick home in America. It is just one of sev­ eral historical attractions on the self-guided motor tour of the city. Just north of the city is Norfolk's Ocean View Beach on the Chesapeake Bay. Here swimmers and sunbathers can watch huge naval vessels ply the water of Hampton Roads, site of t.he civil War battle between the ironclads, Moni­ tor and Merrimack. These are also the waters through which Captain John Smith sailed on his historic voyage to establish America's first permanent English set­ tlement at Jamestown. Jamestown is one point of the Historic Triangle which in­ cludes world-renowned Colo­ nial Williamsburg and historic Yorktown. Busch Gardens' new family entertainment theme park, The Old Coun­ try, is just outside Williams­ burg. Kings Dominion theme park near Richmond, historic Alex­ andria and Mount Vernon, Monticello, and the scenic Shenandoah Valley, Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Moun­ tains and all within a 3-hour drive from Williamsburg.

Today, thankfully, things have changed. The bugs are still around, and in plentiful num­ bers, but the wizardry of chem­ ical engineering has produced a group of insect repellents that really work. Still, it's not pleasant to have a mosquito zipping around three inches from your ear wait­ ing for the repellent to wear off so he can zoom in and hit the target. Here are some tips from the outdoor recreation depart­ ment at Mercury outboards that will be helpful to fishermen, campers and others who enjoy being outdoors, but who don't want to fight insects. Insect repellent sprays or oils should be applied to cloth­ ing rather than to your skin. Sweat soon breaks down the composition of the repellent and it quickly becomes ineffective. It will last much longer when applied to cloth, so a long- sleeved shirt, trousers, and a hat make sense when in mosquito country. Boat campers should pitch their tents where the wind blows. Stay away from heavily- forested areas, and try to find a site where the prevailing breeze is from the water. Campfire smoke also helps keep bugs away. Although no one likes to be in the direct path of smoke, you can locate the fire so smoke from it will drift through the campsite. fcHENRY HOSPITAL Patients admitted to McHenry hospital recently included Mildred Beckerr Florence Hoffman, SawaC Jacobchak, Dawn Brown,' Karen Finn, Timothy Ivan, Edith Uelman, Harriet Pasierb, Scott Shulda, Esther Walk, McHenry; Jeffrey Arendt, Darrin Reimers, Ingleside.
