SdUe Anti-Freeze
When You Drain Car

Anti-freeze mixtures in Bluffton
area automobiles now come under the
classification of strategic war ma
terial, and motorists are asked to
save the liquid they drain from their
radiators this spring.
All water taken from cars at the
close of winter driving should be put
into bottles or cans, and stored in a
cool corner of the cellar or garage
until needed late next fall.
Advice to save present mixtures
comes from the consumer division of
the Office of Price Administration,
which points out that ethylene glycol,
the permanent" anti-freeze, and the
alcohol base mixture which makes
up other anti-freezes are among the
chemicals needed by the Army and
Navy for explosives, and for the
radiators of tanks and airplanes.
In draining radiators motorists
should be careful not to lose any
of the mixture, and all taken from
the car should be sealed in bottles
or cans and stored in cool place.
