Now the na tion's 30 mil lion female Gay I'auley - drivers really needn't bo master mechanics to keep their cars in tip-top condition. ; E. W. Kellcy, supervisor of we laboratory garage at Weav er M a n u facturing Division, Dura corporation, Springfield, 111., says so. He suggested that :the typical female driver learn to depend on the help offered by a reliable garage man. How well or how poorly an 'auto is maintained can make the difference of hundreds of dollars both in repair bills and in the c:r's eventual .trade-in value. But there's more than economics to prop er car maintenance. Safely Is Important . ... "It can also determine whether the car is going to be safe to drive or a death trap on wheels," Kellcy said. The expert said the majority of car maintenance people you must rely on are skilled and honest operators. "Occasionally, you. might might, run into a service sta tion or garage owner who Is more concerned with making a fast buck than with gaining and holding the goodwill of his customers," Kclley said.

JANUARY t. 1981 Garage Man An ill-serviced car can one day cost you your life. Some Expert Suggestions . To help the housewife get the best possible return on her car maintenance dollar, the expert made the following suggestions: -Become familiar with the normal operation of your car, Pay attention to how it rides, accelerates, stops and vi brates. Listen to your car, Learn how it sounds under different operating conditions Most car troubles cause a strange sound. Investigate all abnormal noises and make sure your repairman knows what you are talking about when you take your car in for service. A surprising amount of money is wasted every year because owners give service men foggy explanations. -Study the owner manual that came with your car. In quire about anything you don't understand. P.S. Your husband probably will be able to answer most of your questions. - California Family Here for Week End Applegate - Mr. and Mrs. Don Doerschlag and sqn, Her mosa Beach, Calif., are spend ing the New Year s week end at their home on the Apple gate.

" Heel Shapes Inspired By the Past New York - Concepts of de signs from the past are enrich ing the entire fashion scene for spring according to the National Shoe Institute. The Louis heel,, a favorite in the courts of Versailles and Madrid, has inspired a num ber of graceful heel shapes that are the focus of footwear for spring.' Low and medium versions are found on every style from brightly colored satin or reptile theater pumps to hand stitched, soft leather walking shoes. The highest ones, for evening, indent to pencil slimness and flare at the base into round, square, triangular or oval shapes. Stacked leattier heels, re- pouts the institute, are the ideal classic tailored look, never more right than now. The process involved in com pressing the layers of leather is a new one, but some of the favorite shapes were inspired by old paintings and costume collections in museums. The keg shape was popular in day time shoes for both men and women in the 16th and 17th centuries. The rounded pan cake heel, combined with floppy bows at the toe, can be seen in paintings of chil dren In the Gainsborough era. This season's stacked leather Is also found on calf, kid, or reptile shoes in the pink-to-orange-to-red tones and the hyacinth colors so favored for spring. Slightly higher, they take geometric angles to com plement square throated, straight-line afternoon pumps. For evening, very high metal heels coveircd to simulate the stacked leather look are found on sandals and pumps of tap estry, satin, lustre calf. Ankle-top shoes with curv ed shank cut-outs and over- sired pom poms were de ri gucur with every 17th cen tury gentleman of fashion. Translated into t e m s of spring. 1961.. shank cut-outs take right angles to echo new meetings of straightened heels with the body of cocktail or daytime styles, or curve In long, sweeping ovals to com plement a heel cf wineglass shape. For spring there will be heels of solid silk rontrasting with the printed fabric of the shoe, heels of black patent on bright calf sandals, heels In shock-bright colors as a sur prise ending to well-mannered pumps in somber tones. Heels may be embroidered, striped, dipped in gold or sil ver. Whatever their color or design, they will be the main attraction oi shoe shapes for spring.
