QUESTIONS ANSWERED SEATS Esso Marketers Urge Strict Care of Autos Warning hundreds of thousands of car owners that they are entering a period that may prove even more dangerous to their cars than winter, i Esso Marketers today asked motor | ists to watch speeds carefully and itake their cars for a periodic check - ? up of vital parts. "Warm weather usually means increased speeds," said company of ficials, "and increased speeds height en the danger for the many over age cars now on the road." They pointed out that America's *-ar ef fort can be seriously hampered if there is any great breakdown cf war workers' cars. Spiing, they asserted, will throw an additional burden on war-worn cars. Greater speeds that result: from dry roads and longer hours of j daylight will place greater strain on ! thin tires, on winter-won! oil ai:d j inadequately lubricated trarismis- j sionr., differentials and chassis. j The appeal was made as part of j drive Esso Marketers arc making I to keep cars running. The drive has j been considered so vita! to tlir- op- j oration of the nation's transportation I system, said company executives, > that it has backed the drive with j even more intensive promotion than j usual throughout its territory ot ihe ' 18 states and the District of Co | Utmbia. A barrage of advertising in local ' papers, and particularly in war ! areas, backed up by a special po.-> j ter campaign designed especially j for war workers going to their jobs, is being used to emphasize the need ! for constant maintenance at this | dati of the war. State College Hints For Farm Homemakers Did you know that fish should be cooked at a low or moderate tem perature'.' Yes, fish should be cook ed just as you cook eggs or meat. You know that high heal tends to toughen all protein foods. Fish cooked by this method is very ten der and is less likely to break, up when removed from pan to serving dish. Blankets shrink some in launder ing. If they are constantly jerked in pulling them up around the neck, the undue strain hastens the wear ing out of the blanket Blankets on the market today range from 76 to 90 inches long. The 76-inrh length is too short for sat isfaction except on children's beds. The 84-inch length is long enough for ordinary use. But if the mat tress is very thick or the sleeper very tall, the &0-ineh length is need ed for comfort and long wear. ? ft ?
