A dressy shoe, likely to appear on Easter Sunday and after, might be a strappy pump, a wrappy slipon or a sling-back style. Spotlighting Straps The strap pump is perky with cutouts or openings, colorful two or three-tone combinations and very nar­ row or very wide straps. Skinny strap styles are often crossed-over, T'd, doubled or tripled. The wrap-around slipons look softer with side-swirled bands and buttons, high-cut side ties with tiny perfs or stitch trim or high tongues that lie flat at the instep. School and everyday wear continues to spotlight the monk-strap slipon.

A minor scratch can de­ velop into a serious infection when left unattended. This applies to cars as well as hu­ man bodies. Possibly you have experi­ enced something like this with your car. The minor parking lot dent or split up­ holstery seam, which upset you considerably at first, gradually becomes part of the scene. You get used to it after the initial jolt and tend not to worry about it after that. The same with subsequent dings and dents. Unfortunately, the apprais­ er will not find these things particularly appealing when you start shopping for a new car. A well maintained auto­ mobile may bring several hundred dollars more at trade-in time than one that has been allowed to deterior­ ate. Sometimes the neglect of a car's appearance is not de­ liberate. A few scratches you may not have noticed, cov­ ered with dirt and salt through the winter, suddenly appear as rusty gouges when you get around to giving your car its spring clean-up. Rust, which usually does more to depreciate a car than any other single factor, is ravenous. It moves in fast, feeding on chips and scratch­ es, until what started out as a minor scrape (possibly one that you might have been able to fix up yourself) now may require considerable grinding and refinishing to make the car presentable. In terms of protecting the substantial investment you probably have in your car, quality body repairs can pay big dividends at resale time. Watch for minor scrapes and scratches and take care of them before rust does. VENTILATION VITAL Even on the coldest winter days, it's still a good idea to drive with a window slightly opened. This will prevent the possibility of carbon monox­ ide fumes amassing in the passenger compartment. Bet­ ter yet, have your exhaust system checked thoroughly to guard against the deadly gas. • * * ON THE SKIDS If your car goes into a skid on a wet or icy street, turn the steering wheel in the di­ rection of the skid. Do not jam on the brakes but pump them gently. SECTION 2-PAGE Be Sure, Relaxed For many people, there are few recreational pleasures to match the ease and flexibil­ ity of driving into the Great Outdoors with their own camper, trailer, or tent. Veterans at this increas­ ingly popular pursuit have a knack for enjoying it from the moment they begin their trips. "I always check over every operational aspect of both my trailer and my Travelall wagon before I go," says one. "Before departure, I have the Travelall completely serviced. And I get into the trailer, and make sure the plumbing, the heater, the stove and re­ frigerator are working prop­ erly. "I make a short test-run with the combination before I actually leave. That's to check the brakes and lights, and to be sure I've hitched up correctly. "I don't accept perform­ ance that'll be 'all right if I keep an eye on it.' I make it right before I leave. I'm taking my trip to relax, not to prove I can cope with trouble." Roadwise vacationers don't let themselves go, either. They avoid driving when tired, and stop to rest and walk around at reasonable intervals. This habit also af­ fords them an opportunity to inspect for low tires, loose trailer wheels or other po­ tential problems. 11 - PLAlND EALER-WED NE SDAY.

Our Clothes-Out Sale is in full swing • • One of the most difficult decisions the outdoorsman has to make before setting out to enjoy his favorite pas­ time is what gear he needs to be adequately equipped without being over-burdened. Now comes the Space® sportsman's blanket, made from superinsulation materi­ al for all-season use. The same material is used on NASA space flights to protect astronauts and sen­ sitive instruments against extreme temperatures. It's from Thermos, world famous for vacuum bottles and a wide range of outdoor and camping gear. Hunter-campers use the sportsman's blanket as a spare blanket, poncho, wind- breaker, ground cloth or duck blind, and its grommeted rustproof corners enable it to be hung up or tied down. Completely waterproof, the blanket has also found great favor among skiers, who stick one in a parka pocket for wind-buffeted chair lifts. Snow-mobilers welcome it as a weather cover too. Come spring, the blanket does not get stored with your skis either. Use it as a cockpit sunshade or rain cover for your boat, a picnic cloth or a beach blanket. Just as its insulating properties keep you warm, they can keep you cool as well. The 58" x 84" blanket weighs 12 ounces and folds compactly into a convenient carrying pouch. Its versatility makes it indispensible indeed for every outdoorsman.
