PAGE TWO CoU Weather War Is Now Under Way Says C.W. Roberts Motorists Asked to Have Automobiles Properly Serviced ‘ The* motorist is already engaged 4n a fight against winter weather hazards right now," says Coleman W. Roberts, President of the Carolina Motor Club, “and this struggle will probably continue for three more fnonths." “The motorist faced by the weapons of winter —cold, fog, rain, sleet and snow —must make final preparations, if he has not already done so, to com bat the invader. The following point ers may be useful to you in preparing your vehicle for the winter onslaught and in keeping it in good running condition during the entire cold season.” The careful motorists will have al ready drained his cooling system and had it flushed to remove corrosion. All connections should have been checked and tightened to prevent leakage. The water pump should have been carefully checked and the radiator filled with anti-freeze solu tion. Anti-freeze solutions can be gen erally classified as volatile (alcohol and methanol) and permanent (ethyl ene, glycol, etc.). Whichever one you use depends on preference and avail ability. Even though anti-freeze is a scarce commodity, under no circum stances should salt solutions, kero sene, honey or other makeshift pre parations be used as they will likely do more harm than good. Careful attention should be given to the car battery; be sure it has plenty of water and that the cables are tight. If your battery is weak in warm weather, then it should prob ably be replaced for winter driving forestalling possible cold weather failure. The generator and starter connec tions should be checked as well. The charging rate of the generator should be increased in order to take care of the extra drainage on the battery due to winter starting and more night driving. To avoid carburator trouble, have it > Ie aned and properly adjusted. Fre quently water which has settled in the bottom of the unit way cause a great deal of trouble due to freezing. A thorough check up should be giv en the ignition system; points should be cleaned and adjusted; Coil and con denser tested and the spark plugs should be cleaned and properly ad justed. In all cases, badly worn parts should be replaced. It i 3 important that the proper grades of oil be used in the crank cases, transmission and differential. Oil is cheaper to replace than metal. By all means, consult your service man for proper grades. Hard start ing may be the result of trying to use an oil that is too heavy. Motor- 5 ists are advised never to “race” a motor immediately after starting be cause serious damage can result if the oil does not have sufficient time to work up into the cylinders and other vital parts. Hard starting in winter may be caused by: dead battery, weak bat tery, too heavy oil, automatic choke not functioning, worn engine parts, leaking valves, flooded engine, no fuel ;| ANNOUNCING OUR NEW jj BEAR Tire and Car Saving SERVICE JUUII liiiiWWMl ■ !

Two good tips for cold weather starting are: (1) press down on the foot accelerator several times before stepping on the starter, and (2) hold the clutch “down” while the starter turns the motor over. This relieves the starter of the extra load of turn ing the gears in the transmission. The cold weather war is now under way. Motorists in the “snow belt” which, generally speaking, is the area north of an imaginary line drawn from the Carolinas westward to the Pacific Coast will have the hardest struggle. “But here in the Carolinas,” says Mr. Roberts, “winter weather hazards will make driving difficult and dan gerous. Cold weather is one of the most serious factors with which the motorists must contend. Prepare for the fight by having your car serviced today.” [HEALTH FOR Jlij INFLUENZA Influenza is a highly infectious disease, the germs spreading quickly from one person to another. That is why there is always the danger of an epidemic when “flu” is around. A great many people still remember the severity of the disease in 1918 when it swept the country, leaving death in its wake. Today doctors hope that wide use of a recently developed vaccine will prevent more epidemics of that mag nitude. The vaccine is believed by some authorities to be effective, not, however, as a treatment after “flu” has developed, but as a preventive. The vaccine does not provide perma nent immunity but if it is effective, the immunity is believed to last six months to a year. Influenza is not to be considered a minor matter. The disease comes on rather suddenly and usually starts with moderate fever, headache, gen eral pains and marked prostration, which may be accompanied by a sore throat and an irritating cough. It is sometimes complicated by bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy or empyema. The influenza patient should be iso “T.ET GEORGE DO IT” 1 FOR SALE SIX-ROOM HOUSE With two Duo-Therm space | heaters and one 30-gaHon Duo- Therm hot water heater, all connected from outside’tank.

Old people especially should guard against any contact with the disease. Children, too, are particularly sus ceptible to influenza. In every case, have a doctor in at tendance and follow orders to the let ter. The disease should be regarded seriously. The patient must be kept in bed as long as the doctor orders. This usually means he remains in bed for some weeks after the fever has disappeared in order to prevent bring ing on dangerous complications, or a relapse. Emotional depression during con valescence is one thing to guard against. Pleasant surroundings are essential to the complete recovery of the “flu” patient. Keep the patient happy and try to prevent irritating him at all cost. Your doctor is the best judge as to whether or not you should have the influenza vaccine because he knows the general condition of your health and your susceptibility to disease.
