( 2 ; Wiper arms should be checked regularly for adequate pressure of blade against the glass. If they exert pressure on thp glass of le^s than an ounce - to - the - inch of blade length, they are probably inadequate for clean wiping. (Car manufacturers in recent years have specified arm pressures equal to or more than one ounce, to the inch; for example, a twelve-inch blade should have at least twelve ounces of arm pressure against the windshield. ) ( 3 ) The w i p e r b l a d e r u b b e r should be occasionally wiped clean when the windshield is cleaned. It takes only a fewseconds longer. ( 4 ) W i p e r b l a d e s t h a t h a v e been in use for a year or more should be replaced with newblades of "live" rubbed to make sure of clean wiping. (Rubber deteriorates from exposure to hot sun, wind and road film, even though it may still look good.) (5) If^your car has a windshield washer make sure the -Water contains- a solvent with 1 an alcohol base, especially dur- ' ing the winter months. ( 6 ) F o r n i g h t d r i v i n g be s u r e that all front and rear lights are operating, and clean Replace any burned out bulbs imi mediately. If driving in rain, I sleet or snow -or when there is considerable dirty road spray from other cars--stop at service stations from time to time to wipe off lights. (Stopping at service stations is recommended because of the danger of stopping on a street or highway when it is hard to seel. (7) Make sure directionai signals are working properly. (8) Make sure the defroster blows enough warm air to keep the inside of the windshield clear. , McHenry Plaindealei Phone 170 - 171 .Published every Thursday at JtfcHenry, JLI1., by the McHenry Publishing C6mpany, Inc.
