THE CLOTHMAKER Care Of Outboard Motors Many of our employees have outboard motors and for their information we are reprinting the following instruc- ! tions on spring care of motors, with this preliminary bit of advice: Always have at least one life jacket for each person ' in your boat; come back safely from each fishing trip. "When you pulled your outhoard hoatinn ri)? out of tho water last fall it seemed a long time until spring, but that time is here and it is time to tune up that outboard motor. : "A simple check of your ; motor takes little time, little r special skill and no special set ) of tools. 'The entire job is very simple if you follow a basic set of recommendations as set forth bv Harry Ewald, chief engineer of Evinrude Motors. Milwaukee. "The first spot to check is | the ignition system. The use ; of an oil-and-gas mixture for lubrication is frequently hard on spark plugs, so take a look > at them. If they are pitted or carbonized, they should be i replaced. r "Spark plug connectors should be checked for corrosion, especially if you used your outboard in salt water. Replace cracked or torn insulators. The spark gap should be cheeked and adinsteH fro quentlv. "The carburetor sediment : bowl, which protects the carburetor from Rummy deposits present in fuel, should be ' cleaned. A few turns of a thumb screw will release the bowl, which can then be removed for cleaning. "The carburetor can be kept ? in condition by squirting a few drops of thin lubricating oil through the air silencer 3 while the motor is operating. "The throttle linkage, the set of movable parts between s throttle and carburetor and magneto, should receive a b check and be kept lubricated. "An examination of the pro^ peller and entire lower unit is ~ a 'must' item to check. Cotter pins should be removed and checked for wear. In those motors still using shear pins. ( thev should also be checked for nicks or wear and replaced if necessary. "The propeller should be looked over carefully for cracks and warp and the lower s unit should always be well a lubricated with outboard gear e oil, available at any store y handling marine lubricants. "Ewald recommends that s fuel lines be checked for v cracks and leaks and replaced :i immediately if they show damage. The hose line on each t portable tank should be included in the check and also replaced if cracked or leaking, i "Make certain when you " place portable tanks aboard e that the fuel lines run free. The best way to protect fuel lines is to keep them short. Coil them around the top of the tank and make certain the tanks are stowed in such a ;. position as to prevent the l lines from being stepped on i and out of the way of loose gear which might cut or Its Later Tha Everything is farther than it used to be. It's twice as far from my place to the bus line now, anct mev nave aaaea a hi ill that I've just noticed. The buses leave sooner too but I've given up running for them because they go faster than they used to Seems to me they are making staircases steeper than in the old days. The risers seem higher, and there are more of them because I've noticed it's harder for me to make them two at a time. It's all one can do to make one step at a time. Have you noticed the small print they are using lately? Newspapers are getting farther awav when I hold them, and I have to squint to make out the news. Now it's ridiculous to suggest that a person of my age needs glasses, but it's the onlv wav 1 can line! out what's going on without someone reading aloud to me, and that isn't much help because everyone seems to speak in such a low voice that I can scarcely hear them. Times are surely changing. It's going colder in the winter, and the summers are hotter than the good old days. Snow is much heavier too, when I WASTE NOT 111 TB t frl LiLt' 4; *5* M lr^%l -^H idB^ | i?fl ^ _ i. I - .- ? W^^H^iQk S '^^Hl ' ^1 Bp I. ^55^?

"If you left gasoline in your portable tank last fall, it's a good idea to drain it out and start the season with a fresh fuel supply.

Rain is so much wetter that I have to wear rubbers. I ^uess the way they build windows now makes drafts more severe. The material in my clothes, I notice, shrinks in certain places, like around the waist or in the seat. Shoe laces are shorter, and next to impossible to reach. People are chaneine too. for one thing, they are younger than they used to be when I was their age. On the other hand, people of my age are so much older than I am. I realize my generation is approaching middle age, but there is no reason for my friends to be tottering into senility. I ran into a friend the other night, and she had changed so much that she didn't recognize me. "You've put on a little weight," I said. "It's this modern food." she replied. "It seems to be more fattening." I got to thinking about her this morning while I was dressing. I looked at my own reflection in the mirror. Seems they don't use the same kind of glass in mirrors any more. - WANT NOT! wm of Clinton Cotton Mills, adjusts ection beams, one of the best ways on his job. Unless correct tension II run out unevenly, causing unified to the exterior nortions of the motor with a soft, clean cloth. This brings out the luster of the enamel and helps seal off the motor from the extremes of the elements. "With this completed, you're ready for launching and a trouble-free season of boating fun."
