The sum of $206,185 is within the six per cent limitation and may be lev- led without vote. Not subject to the six per cent limitation Is $106,325, which includes the bond issue payments. The amount outside the six per cent limitation for l!62-63 at $181,160 Is $13,002 less than the $1'J7,162 approved by voters when the l!)6l-62 budget was submitted the third time year. The amount initially set at $322,917, and then dropped to $.500,5-12 after budget was defeated the time. When it was not approved on the second try, it was dropped further to $11(7.162.

Shell dealers suggest 10 ways to cut car repair bill s Your car is probably the second biggest single in vestment you'll ever make. Here are 10 pointers from Shell that can help you protect that invest ment. They're easy to follow. And they might well save you a lot of trouble, as well as needless expense. "I Check your cooling system hose for weak spots. Inspect all of the rubber hoses that interconnect your cool ing system. If they are cracked, cut or swollen, they could give way at any time and cause engine temperature to soar. The result: a troublesome breakdown. Less serious, but a potential cause of over heating, is a debris-clogged radiator. Ask your Shell dealer to use his air hose to clear away clutter on the outside of your radiator. O Touch up scratches before rust sets in. You can discourage the spread of rust by using touch-up paint on body scratches. Rust also likes to plug drainage holes on the underside of car doors and body panels. Keep those holes open (a screwdriver or any pointed instrument works fine) and you may well prevent a rusted-through door or body section. O Avoid 100-foot trips. It's a mean trick to start a cold car, drive it just a few feet, then turn it off. Yet people often park in front of their homes, then drive into the garage later on. This can increase engine wear, dilute your oil with I L 1 If ! S?!SiaV M v U I ) - j I Sr. Bft.,. "Tynm,,,, , ii'n r i,i;iiii.'i,,iiiln',vn iTin 'SiS' "S-SVV- . unburned fuel and give sludge more chance to form. If at all possible, drive right into the garage when you arrive home. A Look for oil streaks on inner walls of tires. It may take a bit of back bending, but it's well worth the effort to check the side of your tires you seldom see ihe side facing in. If there's any sign of leaking fluid on tire walls, tell your Shell dealer. A leaking brake cylinder or rear axle oil seals could be at fault. Either can lead to extensive repairs if not cor rected right away. C Obey the cardinal rule of car care. A professional lubrication job is still the best way to keep your car in good health. But it should be done on a regular basis not "every so often." For safety's sake, Shellubricate every 1000 miles. If your car has an automatic transmission, your transmission fluid level should be checked regularly. Your Shell serviceman can do this for you during Shellubrication. Never "gun" your car to warm up your engine. It doesn't help a bit. Matter of fact, it can do more harm than good, even increase engine wear. Many drivers also think it's worthwhile to idle their cars on a cold morning. But, with today's modern engines, it isn't necessary. It just wastes gasoline. Far better to start your engine, wait a few seconds until it's running smoothly then be on your way, but at moderate speed. 7 Check a terribly neglected little ac- cessory. People seldom give their windshield wipers a second thought ex cept when it rains. But wipers wear out too. Instead of wiping your windshield, they can smear and scratch it. Wiper blades are easy to replace but windshields aren't. Ask your Shell dealer to check your blades and wiper arms next time you see him. O Get a midwinter anti-freeze check. If you've had to add water to your radiator in the last few months, you may have less anti-freeze protection than you think. Let your Shell dealer check your coolant with a hydrometer to make sure an extra cold night won't cause trouble. Reminder: If you got a Shellzone anti freeze guarantee this winter, you're en titled to free refills, if necessary, until April 1, 1962. Q Don't let front wheels hit the curb. Banging front wheels against the curb is tough on wheel alignment and tires too. So, approach the curb carefully when you park. This sounds like a small thing, but it can help prevent cosdy front end problems. Suggestion: look at the tread on your front wheels right now. If they show uneven wear, your front wheel alignment may need attention. "I f Give your car an occasional change of scenery. A steady diet of city driving adds to the combustion deposits inside your engine. This deposit buildup can reduce your car's power and, eventually, may cause trouble. But many of the deposits that come with city driv ing will fly out the exhaust when you hit the open road. So, take your car for a turnpike drive this weekend. It can be good exercise for it. And a pleasant after noon for you. For Shell Petroleum Products Farm Chemicals PAUL PETTYJOHN CO. Distributor lone, Oregon
