You can now find a cooling
unit for almost every car made.
The deluxe units draw fresh air
into the car from the outside, and
smoke and stale air are drawn
out. The less expensive units re-
circulate the air that is already
in the car.
Some deluxe units can reduce
the temperature inside a car
from lis degrees to approx
mately 80 degrees in two min
utes while you drive 25 miles an
hour. And in five minutes, you
can take the temperature down
even further if you desire. Even
with the engine idling, the unit
cools the car effectively. You can
set the controls to virtually any
temperature you wish.

The most dangerous day of the week for driving is
Saturday. One good that travelling

other important feature which sets this day apart from
the others For too many people, Saturday night time
when drinking and driving are combined
No one knows how many traffic accidents caused
by drinking drivers but everyone knows it is major pro-

For example, walk into your traffic courts any day
and you will find them crowded with persons who
