diac surgical suite.
A Fellow of the
American College of

When it comes to keeping
your car on the road to
safety, little things mean a
lot. Little things done prop
erly all the time can add up
to a lot more safety and
save money in the long run.
Moat pros advise checking
your car's basic equipment
before you start on a trip.
Here are a few tips:
Seat Belts Be sure you
fasten them before you start
out.
Windows and Doors See
that windshield wipers work
and that the blades are
good. Make sure all win
dows are clean and keep the
rear window deck clear of
articles that can obstruct
your view. Lock all doors -especially
if there are small
children in the car.
Engine Before you start
it, check the radiator, bat
tery and windshield washer
fluid levels. Check drive
belts for wear: look for
cracks on the inside edge or
glazed contact surfaces.
Tires Inspect them for
unusual wear and check the
pressure, before driving,
with a quality gauge. Proper
inflation will save fuel and
reduce the chance of tire
failure. For added protec
tion equip your car with
Uniroyal's new puncture
sealing tire called Royal
Seal. The Royal Seal is an
energy-efficient steel belted
radial tire with a patented
compound that protects
against 90 percent of punc
tures 316-inch in diameter
or less.
Battery-Inspect, test and,
if necessary, replace it. Have
the terminals, cables and
battery itself cleaned. Take
along a good set of battery
booster cables.

The deadline for registra
tion is September 15.
Youth involvement Day
is sponsored by the State
Youth Council component
of the N.C. Department
of Administration's
Youth Involvement Office.
A check of your car should
help you drive danger away.
Since cables are no good
unless they work, it makes
sense to invest in a top-rated
product like the M. Black
TPR 16Q from M. Black
Manufacturing Co. of Phila
delphia. These cables are
insulated with Uniroyal
TPR, a high-technology rub
ber that protects and en
sures high performance.
Cooling System Check
the coolant's strength ; drain
and flush if under par and
add more antifreeze cool- '
ant. Inspect the hoses and
connections for cracks or
leaks.
Following this profes
sional advice can help you
arrive safely and on time.
If you are a high school
student in Durham Coun
ty and would like to run
state government for a
day, now is your chance.
Approximately 125
students in grades ten to
twelve across the state will
have an opportunity to
serve as governor, Heme-,
nant governor, state at
torney general and other
state officials during
Youth Involvement Day
activities in Raleigh, Oc
tober 6-7.
"This experience gives
our young people a
firsthand look at the daily
operations of state
government," said Gover
nor Jim Hunt. "State of
ficials also learn from
them about their concerns
and recommendations for
young people's pro
grams." The cost per student is
$24.50, which covers a
Statisticians say one out of
every thousand babies born
in 1975 can be expected to
reach the age of one hundred.
