Alarm clocks

If you still prefer an old-fash-
Toned, wind-up alarm clock to an
electric clock, there are many
wind-ups in the stores that can
be counted on to GET YOU up in
the morning. According to Con-
sumner Reports, laboratory tests by
Consumers Union showed that
most wind-up alarm clocks can be
adjusted to an accuracy of within
a few minutes day. They are not
as accurate as eiectrics but they
are cheaper and don't depend on
the electric supply.
Before buying wind-up alarm,
be sure to start it going to see
whether the tick is objectionably
loud and whether the alarm is
loud enough (or soft enough. See
whether the alarm turmoil is con-
venient to use and find out how
easy the clock is, to set and wind.
