PAGE 12 • PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1976 State Police Recomfnend Pre-Winter Tune-Ups With fuel cots at* all-time highs, and with the need for conservation still with us, Captain James Murphy of the Illinois State Police reminded motorists today that pre-winter tune-ups are more important than ever. "A pre-winter tune-up not only contributes to safety and convenience, but has the added advantage of improving fuel economy." Captain Murphy said Along with the usual tune-up which should include an in­ spection of the electrical system and the emission control devices, the Captain said that it was even more important to check those equipment items that directly affect winter driving safety, such as tires, tire chains, brakes, windshield wipers and washers and lights.

RTE. 173, RICHMOND, ILL., ON U.S. RTE. 12 motorist 's "do-it-yourself" check-list: TIRES -- Tires with good treads are important all year 'round, but especially when pavements are covered with snow and ice. Snow tires are particularly helpful for pulling through loosely packed snow, but they offer no advantage in stopping on icy pavements. Studded tires are prohibited now on Illinois roads for all types of vehicles. TIRE CHAINS ~ That old standby, reinforced tire chains, provides the most help for pulling through deep snow or driving on ice-covered pavements. Carry them in your trunk and be prepared to use them for severe snow and ice conditions. WINDSHIELD WIPERS » Replace streaking blades and be sure your windshield washers have adequate anti­ freeze. LIGHTS -- Clean your lights more frequently during the winter months to remove snow and road-muck. This should include headlights, tail lights and directional signals. BRAKES -- A brake that grabs or pulls to one side is a serious matter at any time, and particularly when pavements are slippery. If you feel your carjjuiling to one side when stopping on a dry pavement, it's past time for an inspection by a competent mechanic. Check your car, then double- check your driving habits. "Safe winter driving requires a little extra time, a little slower speed, a little extra care and a Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy i he global spread of nu­ clear technology is the most dangerous threat in the world today. It is a matter of life and death that demands im­ mediate attention from the President and Congress. In testimony before the Senate Government Opera­ tions Committee earlier this year, Dr. David Lilienthal, the first chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, made a shocking statement about the danger posed by the global spread of nuclear capability. He said that be­ cause the risk of nuclear ca­ tastrophe is so great, he is thankful that he is not the age of his children or grand­ children. That statement has partic­ ularly ominous overtones for the younger generation of Americans. And if we do not act soon to control the spread of nuclear technology, our legacy to future generations may be a world gripped by the threat of nuclear terror and annihilation. The first step which must be taken to counter this global threat is for the U.S. temational position against the spread of sensitive nuclear technology. For many years the United States has been reluctant to take decisive action on proliferation even when it was evident we should have. We were barely heard in our opposition to the Indian explosion, even though U.S.- supplied materials were prob­ ably used. We voiced little, if any, opposition to the Ger­ man-Brazilian deal and did not object to the French deal with Pakistan until years after it was first discussed. Unless we make it clear that there are serious diplo­ matic costs associated with such action, other nations will assume that they can de­ velop nuclear weapons with impunity. An equally important goal is the negotiation of an agree­ ment among the nuclear sup­ plier countries placing tough new controls on the transfer and use of sensitive nuclear technology and promising im­ mediate sanctions against countries which act to further proliferation.

Crystal Lake 105 Northwest Highway Route 14 Phone 459-3120 FREE PARKING France has now expressed a willingness to discuss controls on nuclear exports. We must not fool ourselves. Strict controls cannot be im­ plemented without risking the loss of some lucrative over­ seas sales. But the United States and other nuclear ex­ porting nations must recog­ nize that this is a small price to pay to avert a major threat to world peace--and possibly even human survival. Future generations will judge us harshly if we do not make a determined effort. The United States can and must assert strong and cre­ ative leadership in this effort by making it a major goal of U.S. foreign policy. For years, in both Republican and Demo­ cratic administrations, control of nuclear proliferation has been treated as a long-range goal, receiving only sporadic attention by top government officials. It was encouraging to note that proliferation was an issue in this year's Presiden­ tial campaign. Political needs combined with intense Con­ gressional pressure has led the Ford Administration to suggest a firmer policy in this area. But I am deeply disap­ pointed that after two years of work and countless hours of negotiations in the final weeks of the 94th Congress, no nuclear control legislation was passed. Senators favor­ ing such legislation and the White House were unable to agree on compromise legisla­ tion that would have placed the United States squarely on record as a proponent of effective international nuclear controls. I intend to reintroduce nu­ clear control legislation at the outset of the next Congress to carry this debate forward. I will press for a House-Sen­ ate resolution to set an early deadline for Congressional action. Today we still have the chance to forge the policies and priorities in our own nation and around the world to make future generations safe from the nuclear threat. What is more, we have the opportunity to help assure that the great potential of nuclear power is realized for the benefit and not the de­ struction of mankind. 'A' Is For Apples From North Carolina ± SlHg Thanks to News-Bulle­ tin readerCharles P. Mints of Belen.New Mexico, who caught an error in a recent column. Discussing the formation of clouds and moisture particles, it was explained that air contracts as it rises. Air, of course, expands on rising. What contracts is the capacity of the ris­ ing air to hold moisture as it cools in rising. Relative humidity thus increases as rising air cools and if the dewpoint is reached clouds are formed. Fog therefore is created near the ground when air with sufficient moisture is cooled. A good rule of thumb, offered by Mints, is that for each 20 degrees change in temperature rela­ tive humidity is either doubled or halved. If air at more than fifty per cent relative humidity is cooled twenty degrees F., its capacity to hold moisture is halved and the dewpoint is reached and fog or precipitation results. Many a primer starts with apples. And the season for fresh Red and Golden Delicious apples starts in North Carolina. That state's mountain orchards have a happy combination of warm days and cool nights which get the fruit ready for mar­ ket sooner than crops from other parts of the country. The United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association recom­ mends eating apples out-of-hand as snacks that act as "Na­ ture's toothbrush." For fresh apple pie, try this biscuit topped deep-dish recipe with North Carolina apples. Deep-Dish Delicious Apple Pie 3/« y« cups pared, cored and thinly sliced Red or Golden Delicious ap­ ples (about 8 medium) cup packed light brown sugar tablespoon fresh lemon juice cup flour teaspoon salt '/« teaspoon nutmeg % teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind Topping: 2 cups prepared biscuit mix 2 tablespoons sugar V4 cup milk To prepare filling, pare, core and thinly slice apples. Place in 1-quart casserole. Sprinkle with brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, salt, nutmeg, and lemon rind. To prepare topping, mix biscuit mix, sugar and milk in bowl until smooth. Form into a ball and roll out on floured surface to a circle 9 inches in diameter, or 2 inches larger than diameter of casserole. Place over apples and seal around edge. Bake in 400° F. oven 45 minutes until topping is browned and apples are tender. Serve warm with cream or ic*e cream. Makes: 6 servings. Got a Purple Thumb? . . . Try Cacti and Succulents! When it comes to gardening, if you have a purple thumb in­ stead of a green one, you may find cacti and succulents your answer to growing plants easily. Especially if you have little time or patience to care for plants. Cacti and succulents thrive under what are normally adverse conditions -- dry, overheated apartments, for instance. Re­ quirements are few--sunlight. low humidity, infrequent wa­ tering and sandy soil. When a succulent and when a cactus? Actually all cacti are succulents, but not all succu­ lents are cacti. The cactus plant family is only one variety of numerous succulents. All succulents have the special ca­ pacity to store water in their stems or leaves. And that means you can leave these plants unwatered for as long as a month, and they will probab­ ly be thankful for the "neg­ lect." Cacti and other succulents offer a multitude of intriguing sizes, shapes and textures. Plant several in one container for an instant garden in a pot. Cacti and succulents like to be pot-bound, and their roots re­ quire little room. Several pots planted with cacti and succu­ lents make a beautiful desert­ like scene. Weathered wood design planters from Rubbermaid help create a "south of the border" effect for a cactus gar­ den. The holes in the bottom of the pots and their removable saucers prevent overwatering and insure proper drainage es­ sential to all succulents. A sim­ ple rule of thumb is to water them well when they are grow­ ing--April to October -- but otherwise not at all unless they begin to shrivel. And let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Blooming varieties require a definite dry period in winter if the flowers are to form. To make your cactus garden, begin with the right potting medium -- a combination of perlite, peat moss, and coarse sand or vermiculite works well. A teaspoon of bone meal will help plants flourish. Place the potting medium directly into the planter and arrange your selection of cacti and succulents. A variety of shapes, textures and sizes make the most attractive garden. Grafted cacti, achieved by taking two different plants and cutting them so the fleshy parts join to make a single plant, mr.ke interesting addi­ tions to a cactus garden too. Try your own cactus garden. And see how much fun indoor gardening can be--even for the purple-thumb people I FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY!
