Finally, vacuum to remove residue and revive the carpet fiber's nap. kAmerican Viewpoints The delicate dut\ of devising schemes of reienue should be lef t uhere the consti tution has placed i t -- uith the immediate representatives of the people Will iam Henrs Harrison Urges Drivers To Prepare Car Well For Fierce Winter The first snowflakes of winter are a reminder that time is running out on automobile owners who have been putting off preparing their cars for what looks like another fierce winter. The Insurance Information institute urges motorists to take the time now to ensure that most of their cars' 5,000 moving parts do not fail them in the middle of a January bliz­ zard. Getting ready for another winter requires a thorough pre- winter auto check-up by your neighborhood mechanic or service station attendant and preparation of a cold weather survival kit. ! A checklist of "things to do" to put your car in first-rate condition should include. Tuning the engine by a mechanic you (or your friends) can trust. Check the battery to be certain it is fully charged and ready for several weeks of cold starts. Consider an oil change before the snow hits and purchase a multi-grade oil such as 10W-40 for easier starts and better fuel economy. Check the heating system for adequate coolant in the radiator, look for loose fan belts and cracked hoses. (Anti-freeze protection should be main­ tained at a minimum of -20 degrees Fahrenheit.) Brakes should be tested and front-end alignment con­ sidered. Snow tires should be properly inflated and mounted im­ mediately. Make a close in­ spection of the amount of tread left on your tires; if the depth is less than one-sixteenth of an inch, you are not ready for winter (To check the thickness, place the top edge of a penny into the tread groove. If you can see the top of Lin­ coln's head, the tires should be replaced.) In addition to preparing your car's equipment for cold weather, the I.I.I, also advises every motorist to anticipate emergencies. A winter survival kit in each car ought to include: A pair of cheap gloves; flares, matches and a flashlight (with fresh batteries); battery jumper cables (know how to use them); screwdriver and adjustable pliers; heavy wool blanket and an ice scraper; Rock salt, sand or gravel (to add weight to the rear of your car for traction and to pour under the tires if you are bogged down in snow). Two final suggestions, especially during the cold Honor Retiring Cierk McHenry County board's Legislative and Public Affairs committee honors Vernon Kays, retiring county clerk, as the McHenry County board salutes the 40-year veteran of public service.

When the lines on the weather map in your news­ paper are close together (these lines are isobwvMhat means pressure changes are great. Isobars are merely lines con­ necting* point»*~on the map which have reported the same barometric pressure. If the pressure differential is great, even over a short distance, winds, and probably stiff ones, arc sure to be en­ countered. That means for all practical purposes, that the top of the great layer of gases surrounding the earth is ex­ tremely hilly, so that air rushes from high peaks into the valleys nearby at great speed. This speed, or wind velo­ city, causes heavy wind. If the incline is not steep -the lines (or isobars) not close together --then the wind will flow more slowly, down a more gradual incline at the top of the layer of gas above you.
