Well, FranIk and ,l have the same pro blem but anly, it's in the car. That nut wants the win- dow openi, even_ in the Manitoba winter. He clazmýs it's heaithier.

Most auto experts say it's a good idea to, keep the window open slightly ýwhen driv- ing. WVhy? If there is an undetected leak- in the exhaust system, the car- bon monoxide fumes, which are colorless and odorless, could seep into the car. Should this hap- pen, if you're lucky you'Il get ill.

Dear DeDe: I must con fes s, I some- times do not understand the mentality of the mo- torinq public. I've had my car for sale for about a manth and no buyers. I have always made sure the car is- in top operating condition. The brakes are almast new, the exhaust system is brand nei» and there is not one thîng wrong withi it mechcani- cally. There are a jew dents and a rust hale or two and the paint is ki nd of shabby, l'Il admit. But it's not the paint lob that will carry people arourid salely. Jts the general me- chan.ieal condlition.

No car ever had starting trouble because of a faded paint job 'or couldn't stop in time be- cause of a dinged fender. But you are Iearning a fact of car life. Anyone in the -car-selling business can tell you a wel-main- tained exterior can bring several hundred dollars more at trade-in time. And as you are notlcing, a shabby car may attract no customers at ail. 'You do n't tel me the age of your car or how it is equipped but it might pay you, to have the dents bumped out, rust repaired an.d the car painted.
