Beware of dealers who are in business not to sell their products but their financing. Be on the lookout for ads that em­ phasize easy credit rather than quality of wares. Read your installment contract before you sign it. Be certain you understand the amount of credit charges, penalties for de­ fault or delinquency on pay­ ments, and any other conditions of repayment. Examine carefully the manu­ facturer's or dealer's guarantee on the life of your purchase. Know your recourse if-after the standard thirty days trial period --the appliance breaks down. Research the legislation in your state and be sure the dealer is adhering to the law. If state laws are inadequate, work with consumer groups to help rectify the situation. You may also de­ sire to support federal "truth- in-lending" legislation and thus require full disclosure of interest charges on consumer credit. The McHenry County HI A of the Illinois Health Im­ provement Association joins with the National Safety Council and the U.S.D-..A. in a plea for everyone to strive for special safety through-out the fall and winter ^months, ac­ cording to Norman Liedberg, the president. "Hunting accidents and the hazards of rainy, icy weather often go with the holiday season and winter months, which should be a time especially for good fellowship and fun...not accidents," Howard P. Builta, president of the State Association of HIA declared. "In the hunting season, the greatest care should be exercised in the handling of firearms, which cause thousands of accidents each year." Builta admonished. "Here are a few important rules for hunting safety: -- Always treat guns as if they were loaded. -- Keep ammunition in box and only use when prepared to shoot. -- Keep safety catch on gun until ready to fire. --Never point a gun at anything you don't want to shoot. -- Be certain of your target and make sure it isn't a hunting companion behind a bush or among cat trails. -- Never climb a fence nor jump across a ditch with a loaded gun. "Rain, ice or snow and bad weather occasionally blanket various sections of Illinois from late fall to spring. So drive defensively and avoid those hard falls which may come with rain, ice or snow. Such falls often happen fast. Your feet fly out and you're down before you know it. Sometimes you just get bruises, but all too often it can be broken bones, particularly for oldsters. Here are a few suggestions for their prevention: Remove the hazards of 1, snow and ice as quickly as ijble, when they first come. -- Shovel off steps, walks and pathway, using salt, sand or cinders to make it safer for yourself and others. -- When it's thawing in the daytime and freezing at night, be particulary careful. -- Remember what you wear on your feet is most important in avoiding bad falls. -- Always wear proper fitting shoes, galoshes or rubber boots with plenty of tread to give you' traction. -- Avoid wearing smooth, leather-soled shoes or bedroon. slippers when you go outdoors even for a minute or two. Suddenly you may feel like you're skating on ice and go down in a heap. -- Hold onto a "banister or hand rail, if there is one, when going up or down icy or wet steps. -- Above all enjoy the holiday season ' and those crisp, sparkling winter days by walking or working with ex­ treme care...so as to avoid accidents."

What is the normal path of warm fronts across the Unit­ ed States ' ' Unlike cold fronts, warm systems have an upward di­ rection, or northerly push, as they cross the United States from west to east. Some come in from north­ ern California and up as far as Washington. Those com­ ing in to the north usually cross with a southerly tend­ ency until they reach the Chicago area, and then slant upward and pass over New England. Those coming in over Cal­ ifornia slant downward to­ ward the Gulf and then turn northward, often moving up the east coast. Others, which never cross into the United States, come out of the Car­ ibbean and move up the east coast. Then there are the lows which cross in on the west coast, moving northeast. They may cross into the country from New Mexico to Oregon, and usually pass out of the country along i ts northern borders, between eastern Montana and New England. The main route of these lows is the Great Lakes region. The southeastern states, generally speaking, and ex­ cept for coastal areas, are A NEW ABC SERIES, "Caribe," will begin in Jan­ uary. I t 's about an interna­ tional law-enforcement team, and will be fi lmed in the West Indies. "Caribe" will be produced by Quinn Mar­ tin, who already has four law-and-order shows on the airways. They are: "The Manhunter," "Barnaby Jones," "Cannon," and "The Streets of San Fran­ cisco." GATHER IN the fresh episodes of "Ironside" while you may. Old time is sti l l aflying and soon only rusty reruns will be avail­ able. It is reported that this will l ikely be "Ironside's" last l ive season on NBC, THE DYNAMIC DUO Bat­ man and Robin are gone but not forgotten. Adam West, trying to shed the Batman cape and^Hiage, has spent much tirdr in the past few years outside the U.S.A., working on various films. off the beaten track of these systems. AIRPORT holds the re­ cord of being the most watch­ ed movie ever seen on tele­ vision. "Love Story" holds the bridesmaid spot of sec­ ond place and "The Posei­ don Adventure" ranks third. LUCAS TANNER is in trouble as far as survival as a series is concerned. Too bad, for i t 's a tolerably good show. Tanner, if you haven't seen an episode, is a schoolteacher at Harry S. Truman Memorial High. He's bold and seems to always be in the midst of a boat- rocking situation, which so far has always turned out rosey. The show provides some valuable insights. ACCORDING to a recent report in Television Digest, TV's three commercial net­ works are making handsome profits. It would be welcomed news to learn that the net­ works were using some of these profits to experiment in areas other than mass- appeal programming. Yogurt /Sour Cream Both yogurt and sour cream are formed by the action of acid producing bacteria. Sour cream has nearly three times as many calories as yogurt.

She took her art class on a field trip to Grant Park in Chicago, so they could drink in the beauty of the fall colors. Two teenage girls attacked and robbed this teacher. One slipped up behind, grabbed her hair, and yanked her head back until she thought her neck would break. The other one grabbed her neck from the front, and started choking ner. Then they robbed her of fifteen cents. Finally, they threw her in a nearby restroom, where her head struck a toilet stool, resulting in a concussion. The next day, her swoUen neck showed the fingernail prints of her assailants. And where their fingernails had bitten deeply, infection set in. Yes, her pupils got to see fall colors after all -- the tints of red blood and purple bruises. Grant Park is a showcase of Chicago, one of the great cities of the world. Right on Lake Michigan, it is rimmed by the towers of Michigan Avenue and beautiful museums. Much of the land was created from the debris of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which developers dumped into the Lake. In Grant Park is the renowned Buckingham Memorial Fountain, said to be the largest illuminated fountain in the world. The Park is also dominated by the famous seated statue of Abraham Lincoln by August Saint-Gaudens. But Grant Park is no longer a garden. It is Grant Jungle, for no cautious person diares to enter it at night, and few by day. Parks become jungles not just in great cities, but also in small towns, tiny villages, and open country. Parks turn to jungles when people turn to animals. And people turn to animals when they adopt the slogan, "What's yours is mine, and I'm going to take it." K.J.
