New Idea In Thawing Out Your Oh
Lizzie

Some time, some place. some way,
a Ford owner had trouble with his
radiator freezing up just enough to
make his engine overhead until the
water thawed; so he lowered the arm
that holds the fan and put twist in
his fan belt. This caused the fan to
run backwards and blow the heat
from the engine out the front Of the
radiator, thawing it out in very
short time.-Popular Science.

are down to the sill. But sometimes
a chance to get in 1t is found and
