It's the policy of our county extension office to keep a state car for four years and then trade it In on a new one. I was fortunate to come into the county just in time for this trade. I've been driving for a good number of years, but I must ad mit that like most women (and some men) I know little of what makes the engine under the hood tick. So this week's chat is dir ected to women drivers. Ladies, have you ever been mortified to find your favorite garage man grinning as you tried to explain exactly what happen ed when your car "just went PFFTT!" and wouldn't start again? Or have you been furious with your husband for snapping, "How do you expect to drive the thing when you don't even know what makes to go!" Perhaps we women deserve the WOMANDriver jokes and scorn we resent so bitterly. If we're honest, we'll have to admit that many of us do drive a car day after day, mile after mile, in blissful Ignorance of what makes it tick. It could be a steam-driven camel, for all we know. aciuaiiy, tnis innocence can lead to serious trouble. If a car isn't kept in good repair, it's not safe to drive. And a car that isn't properly cared for Is expen sive to maintain ... a constant drain on the family pocketbook. It can cost from $500 to $1000 to replace an engine that burn ed out because you forgot to have the oil changed. Thousands of families waste enough gasoline In a year through poor main tenance of their cars to buy $200 worth of groceries. I'm not qualified to give you a course In auto mechanics, but the other day a little booklet called, "Car Talk in a Woman's Language" came to my desk. It's put out by the Champion Spark Plug Company of Toledo, Ohio. Its a wonderful little booklet that gives you the inside story about your car and its engine. It's written by women expressly for women. For instance, It de scribes the carburetor as the place where the mixing of gas and air is done . . . something like a flit gun. Or when It talks about the cylinders it describes them as shaped something like old fashioned butter churns. There are several pages on "What it is and what it does." and "Know Your (Engine) Symp toms" etc. It's all cleverly illus trated in cartoon fashion. Isn't it time we women drivers took a moment to learn more about our family cars, and Just what makes them go? For the sake of our family's safety. . . for our own ego's sake . . . and for the sake of our budgets. . It's important for us to know. Phone us or write for your copy of "Car Talk in a Woman's Language".
