Spring Check-Up
Of Cars Important
We think of the heavy rairifall
and warm temperature, which are
so favorable to a dense vegetation.
Then as a contrast to this, we
picture the cold bleak icy north-
lands of Canada and Alaska, or of
northern Russia. We think of the
vast territory that is covered by
ice and snow; the home of the
wolf and reindeer, where few peo
ple live and where “King Winter
has complete sovereignty. These
two extreme pictures are hard to
reconcile. One could scarcely pic
ture the two existing side by side.
But strangely enough in the
Bible in 1 Chronicles 11:22, the
scripture reads as follows:
“Bonaiah .... went down also
and slew a lion in the midst of a
pit in a time of snow.” A lion in
a snow storm! Can you imagine
an Old Testament writer making
such a mistake as that? Lions
don’t live in a cold climate.
Neither does it snow in the
tropics.
But wait! Let us see. Palestine
has a semi-tropical climate, which
in the Jordan valley approaches
the tropics. Here wild beast
roamed at op.e time and these in
cluded the lion. Not more than
15 miles to the west rose the hills
of Judea, on which is located the
city of Jerusalem. These hills rose
to a height of 2500 to 3000 feet a-
bove sea level. On the top of
these hills the temperature is low
enough that occasionally it snows,
although this is rare.
What actually happened, in the
case of this scripture, is that the
lion wandered up into the hills of
Judea from the Jordan valley,
and while up there was caught in
the snow storm. The situation in
Palestine is a peculiar one in that
we find the tropics and snow less
than 20 miles apart. Thus we can
readily see the possibility of such
a situation as is mentioned in this
scripture.

Motorists who want to get
maximum satisfaction from their
cars next summer should take
time out within the next few
weeks for the Spring check-up,
lubrication and adjustment which
every car needs in order to give a
perfect account of itself during
the months of warm weather a-
head.
This is the advice of Ed Hedner,
national service and mechanical
manager for Chevrolet. He added
that the company’s dealer organi
zation is ready, with factory-
trained mechanics and factory-
approved equipment, to give
prompt, economical attention to
all spring check-up needs. •
“Dealer’s experience” he said,
“has shown that motorists are
much more careful about install
ing their winter lubricants and
anti-freeze in the fall than they
are about taking the reverse step
when spring rolls around. This is
probably because they know that
if the matter is neglected they
are likely to awake some morning
and find their engine frozen, or
their transmission-case lubricant
so thick that they can not shift
gears.
“There is no such worry to re
mind them to remove the winter
lubricant and drain out the anti
freeze at warm weather’s ap
proach. But there is good reason
why both of these details should
be taken care of.
“In the case of the lubricant,
the reason is that lubricants are
effective only under the condi
tions for which they were design
ed. Winter demands a thin
bodied lubricant which will not
solidify at low temperatures, but
retain its lubricating quality no
matter how cold it becomes. Cars
operate at much higher tempera
tures in summer than in winter—
temperatures at which the winter
lubricant, already thin, would
liquefy still further and lose much
of its effectiveness. And even
though the damage resulting from
this thinning might not make it
self apparent at once, it would be
no less real and no less costly io
repair.
“In the case of anti-freeze, the
situation is somewhat similar. Re
gardless of the type used, it should
be drained in the spring. The
varieties subject to evaporation
vaporize very quickly in warm
weather, and even a day’s driving
may reduce the cooling solution
level to the point where the radia
tor steams. The non-evaporating
type, on the other hand, some
times develops acidity when left in
the car all summer, and acid, ol
course, tends to corrode the cod
ing system.
“Many motorists make an an
nual practice of having their
radiators flushed out at the ap
proach of summer, and the old
solution replaced with fresh water,
ibis is one of the best ways to
insure efficient cooling regardless
of summer heat.
“The battery should be checked
at the start of spring, and at fre
quent intervals thereafter, for the
level of the solution drops much
more rapidly in warm weather
than in cold. Battery terminals
should be cleaned if they are cor
roded and cables and wiring
checked. A little inexpensive at
tention to distributor points, spark
plugs and ignition coil will be a
good investment, and owners of
pair or Replacement before the
period of severe wear begins.
Many dealers will be offerinr
spring check-up service, covering!
most or all of these items, within
the next few weeks, and motorists
who want to enjoy maximum
satisfaction from their cars could
do worse than to select a reliable
dealer and have this important
work done.”

March is none too early to be

your sprayer and duster are in
good order and go over your sup

Many chemicals deteriorate un

if you have left such dusters as
nicotine and rotenone exposed to
the air you might just as well
throw them out. Compounds that
have lost their labels are of no
value either. It’s quite impossible
to keep healthy plants with old
and unknown chemicals.
You will undoubtedly need a
disinfectant or two, fungicides and
insecticides.
Bichloride of mercury is a gen
erally useful disinfectant. It is a
virulent poison and should be
used with great care. Never leave
