Worn Windshield Wipers Can Endanger Safety of Driver Your Guide to Tire Safety Like so many other cru­ cial devices, your car's windshield wipers are most likely to fail just when you need them most. During the winter months, windshield wipers have to fight snow, ice, slush, and road salt, as well as the usual rain. And that is when clear vision is extra important, due to hazardous road con­ ditions. So now is the time to check your wiper blades carefully, and to replace them if they're not in per­ fect condition. How should they be checked? And what are the signs that a wiper blade isn't up to par? The best time to check your blades is during a rainstorm, or just after­ wards, when there's dirt" water on the roads. Or you can check them by using your windshield washer or as you go through a car- wash. Or even by having someone spray water on your windshield with a hose. Whenever you choose to test your wipers, you should be sure to check then! at all wiper-speed rates they can be set for. And also be sure to check for all of the fol- LINCOLNCLOVERLEAVES The Lincoln Cloverleaves held their annual Christmas party at the James C. Bush elementary school Dec. 10. It was called to order by Sue Honing, former president. The pledge of allegiance was led by Lenny Wagner and the 4-H pledge by Billy Lang. The president, Lisa Newport, made a motion to give the janitors $15 for a Christmas gift. The new officers were in­ stalled: Lisa Newport is president; Joy Vyduna, vice- president; Kathy Latz and Betty Lang, secretaries; An­ drea Akins, reporter; Walter Turner and Lauryn Wenquist, recreation leaders. Debbie Mueller is sergeant-at-arms; Sue Honing is federation officer and Lisa Kively is program chairman. The meeting then went to recreation. We had a grab bag for gifts for Christmas and then enjoyed refreshments. Andrea Akins, Reporter Police Tickets The following tickets were issued by the McHenry police department: Donald R.

Once you learn the proper way of using the life-giving cables, the risk of botching the job is minimal. A word of caution before you even begin: Buy the best cables available. Poor quality cables won't last long and can do damage to the car's electrical system. When using cables make sure the vehicles are not touching one another to avoid creating a dangerous electric circuit. Then make sure all battery-operated accessories like lights, radios and heater are turned off. Set your parking brakes and have transmission in neutral or park. Locate on both batteries the Positive and Negative terminals. These may either be indicated by the letter POS for Positive and NEG for Negative, or by the plus sign (+) for Positive and minus sign (--) for Negative. It may be necessary to use a rag to wipe off grime to locate the mark­ ings. The rag becomes further useful as . . . a c o v e r f o r t h e v e n t h o l e s , s i n c e r e ­ moving the vent caps on both batteries and covering with a cloth is a safety pre­ caution. Not removing the caps creates the danger of an explosion. Now with the engines still turned off it is time to con­ nect the cables themselves in the follow­ ing manner: Connect one cable to the Positive terminal of the booster battery and the other end of the same cable to the Positive terminal of the weak battery. Take the other cable and connect to the Negative terminal of the booster battery and to a ground con­ nection of the disabled vehicle (such as the engine block). Start the engine of the booster car and then the engine of the weak car. Once the engine is started dis­ connect in the reverse order. , . If you still have qualms about doing it, then by all means call a professional service outlet. But better yet, get your car's ignition system in shape and avoid the need of ever having to use the cables. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCQOOPqii jane • • • dramatic elegance . . .

In many cases, all that's needed is new squee­ gees (the rubber strips that actually wipe the wind­ shield) . Try replacing the squeegees first, and if this doesn't solve the problem, replace the entire wiper- blade assemblies. When you do replace all or part of your wiper blades, replace both at the same time; if one is "shot," the other is usually about to give up, as well. And good vision is too important to risk for a few dollars. One final tip. If you are replacing your wiper blades, consider the new, molded polycarbonate variety. They last longer than the old metal type, and cut down on glare and rattle, as well. Every detective deserving of that name knows about fingerprints. The presence of a clear set of prints can identify the culprit every time and solve the case. Tires also have their own brand of tell-tale prints. In fact, many a tough case has been cracked by the pres­ ence of a good set of tire prints identified at the scene of the crime. On a more prosaic level, the appearance of the tire itself can identify another kind of culprit. From ex­ amining the tire, it is pos­ sible to learn about the malfunction of some com­ ponent of your car, such as bad shock absorbers or front end alignment. ~ See what kind of tire de­ tective you are and try to match the damage of these tires with the cause of the damage.
