Keep Away From Fires

For some time a bad practice has
been developing among Libby cit
liens. We refer to the interference
caused by citizens when the fire
alarm is sounded. At such times
scores Of people jump into their cars
and rush post haste to the fire. The
interference. has been SO bad at
times that the firemen have had
difficulty in fighting the. fire. For
the protection of your property, we
therefore ask the following coop
Grafton by the citizens.
I'd Firemen must have right of
way on the streets when a fire is
reported Private cars should not
clutter the streets, thus delaying
the fire equipment.
90 All private cars are request
ed to remain at least block from
the fire. Firemen and equipment
must have room in which to work
unmolested by crowds.
(3) Citizens are requested not to
rush to the phone when an alarm
is sounded. Telephone facilities are
needed by the firemen at such times.
Wait for 10 or Is minutes before
making your inquiry as to where
the fire is.
These requests are for your own
protection. 1t is hoped the public
will gladly cooperate.

National Director or Service, lneV-
rolet Motor Division, General Mo
tors Sales Corporation.
Mile for mile, motor cars require
less attention from their users to-
day than ever before. This is ex-
planned partly by the increased re-
liability of the product, and partly,
no doubt, by the fact that motorists
are becoming educated in the SIM
pie routine procedure which keeps
their automobiles near peak eff
ficiency all the time.
With summer at hand, and hum
dreds Of thousands of owners plan
ming vacation trips in their cars, a
few suggestions about preparation
for such journeys will be timely.
An extended trip makes more siren
uous demands of an automobile than
does normal use around home, and
it is only sensible when planning
such trip, to see that every detail
affecting performance, safety and
comfort is checked in advance.
After winters driving, it is al
ways advisable to see that the cool
ing system is in shape for maximum
warm weather efficiency. If this
has been neglected up to now. it
should be attended to before that
summer trip. The result will be a
cooler engine, longer life from lu-
bricating oil, and generally i'm
proved performance Water should
be checked occasionally during. the
journey, too, of course.
Assuming that transmission and
differential lubricants have been
changed to the proper grade for
summer driving, the levels of both
should be checked before the start
OF long journey. So should the oil
in the crankcase, which, of course,
should also be changed at the in
tervals recommended by the manu-
facturer.
The solution in an automobile bat
terry evaporates more rapidly in
warm weather than in cold, and the
short time it takes to have this de-
tail checked, and water added If
necessary, is always well invested.
The average motorist thinks about
tires only when he has flat" A
little extra attention to the subject
will not only reduce tire troubles
to a minimum, but add considerably
to the comfort of riding and the
ease of driving. Cars steer more cas-
lily when the tires are inflated to
the proper pressure, and it is es-
pecially important that the pres
sure IN the left and the right be the
same.
For complete comfort in motor
ing, tires should be checked now
and then during journey. Pro-
tracted driving on hot pavements in
summer may expand the air to a
point where the ride becomes burnpy
because the tires are SO hard. On
the other hand, tires with insult
flclent air wear out rapidly. be-
cause of the constant flexing of the
casing near the point of contact with
the ground. They are also more
likely to suffer rim-cuts travers-
ing rough roads.
Today's cars rarely develop any
serious trouble, even on extended
journeys. But succession of mi.
nor annoyances, easily averted by
a little advance preparation, have
often marred an otherwise perfect
trip. The vacationist who looks af-
ter these details as matter of rou-
tine is taking out good insurance on
the success of his trip.

WOOD WORK SHOPS NEW IVA FEATURE
Three Cities Chosen for Latest Federal Experi-
 ment to Aid Youths

The National Youth Administra- ton, in cooperation with the city Boards Of Education, has opened woodworking shops in Hartford, New Britain, and New Haven, employing q total of more than 100 youths from families certified by local well fare departments 1t was officially announced today. Additional work Ghops of various types will be or- ganized in other cities If demand for this service arises with schools or other departments of local gov- ernmentS.
 The establishment of these shops marks step toward the attainment of an ideal which has been held by the Youth Administration in this state since it's inception two years ago. By this means 1t Is possible 70 attain both the production of work useful to the community and train ing of type not ordinarily obtain able elsewhere for young people. In providing vocational training for semi-skilled trades these shops will serve primary function. The train ing does not duplicate the courses afforded by the trade schools, nor does 1t conflict with existing appren- t!ceship programs Both of those arc generally understood to be filled to capacity and to have long waiting lists Of boys and girls anxious to be admitted. The purpose both of the trade school and of Apprenticeship, furthermore, Is to train completely over a period of years for skilled trade. The purpose of the IVA workshops on the other hand ls much less ambitious, The aim of the workshops, is to give to wholly untrained boys some experience at holding a job with regular hours and realistic working conditions, and to turn them out finally, not as skilled craftsmen, but as likely young men of good work habits.
