PAGE 16 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1977 AUTO TIPS By PATRICK KBIT Vacation Tlpa--Travel in the morning when the traffic is lighter and the tempera­ ture is cooler. Keep your windahield clean --on the inaide as well as outside--for your safety and added driving and riding pleasure. Appoint a navigator or "co­ pilot" to read maps, give directions, spot signs, call the stops. The trip will go smoother for both driver and passengers. Take games along for the children, especially if you're traveling long distances. "The. bucket" conveniently placed on the floor of the t%ck or front seat of the car also comes in handy on long distance trips for the kids if they get carsick. If they don't get sick, the bucket makes a nice litter container. Take a picnic lunch with you on long trips. It helps the pocketbook. • If you're staying in motels along the way, it helps to have advance reservations. You save time, gasoline, and Wear and tear on your car and nerves. s Does your car have an emergency kit?

The Resource Game helps young people in the national 4-H home management pro­ gram learn adult techniques for thinking their way thrdugh to major decisions. The aim of the game is to learn how to get to where you want to go by using the resources you have rather than* dreaming of the ones you wish you had. Players accumulate four types of resource cards repre­ senting skill, time, money and energy. Then they "spend" the cards one by one in order to reach a predetermined goal. The trick is for the player to figure out clever ways of getting what he wants by substituting "skill" cards or "energy" cards, for example, when faced with a shortage of expendable "money" or "time." "Playing the game gives kids a chance to learn and use management skills without the fear of real-life conse­ quences," says Mary Johnson, extension associate, Michigan State University. 4-H home management ging the wheels of the rear car up on the curb.

More infor­ mation on the 4-H home Dear Tabby...Why is my cat suddenly ignoring her litter box?-D. S.. Hajtford Most likely, the kitty litter is dirty. Cats are neat ani­ mals who not only like to keep themselves immaculate, but appreciate cleanliness around thep. .Use a scoop as required, and change the kit­ ty Utter *if the pan feels "heavy" when lifted. Be­ fore every change of kitty litter, wash the pan thor­ oughly with soap and hot water. Another possible rea­ son is that the pan may be too small for your cat. Of course, you may be saying that your cat has chosen the rug as her litter box. In that case, if the lit­ ter box is clean, chances are your cat is angry with you or wants attention. Dear Tabby...Why does my cat eat houseplants? Should 1 feed him greens?-J. W., San Francisco Often, cats nibble on plants because they like the taste. But check to see if the canned cat food is com­ pletely balanced for proper growth and nutrition. Some of those small cans are proper­ ly formulated for a good, neat diet." There are kitty greens on the market which you can give your cat, or grow plants from ordinary birdseed. But on no account allow your cat to eat house- plants, not only because it will ruin your indoor shrub­ bery, but some houseplants can make cats quite ill. Dear Tabby...What do you look for when you've got the, pick of the litter?--D. Ri/ Philadelphia Many things. Probably the most important thing is good, management program is avail­ able from county extension agents. even bone structure. But other things are meaningful as well: a good, shiny, healthy coat; vitality and playfulness; size (big is usually better). These are in addition to more personal matters of taste, such as markings, hair length, etc. Once these are taken into account and you feel you are getting a relatively healthy animal, it's just a matter of which one you can relate to the best...the one that gives you that over­ whelming urge to cuddle it and take it home with you. Dear Tabby...Do nursing cats need anything extra in their diets?--V. C., Chicago Yes. Since they are pro­ viding nourishment for a host of little ones as well as themselves, they need more food to begin with, and will frequently appear to l?e hungrier at this time. Vita­ min supplements may also be in order, but consult your veterinarian so that your cat gets the proper supple­ ment she needs. Additional snacks or meals can be added to the regular diet but let your cat set her own pace. Some mother-to-be cats suffer from constipation towards the end: a dollop of non-carbolated white petro­ leum jelly, applied to the nose, will ease this situ­ ation when she licks it off.
