Winter Arrives Cold weather struck Decatur with a vengeance this weekend, seeming to begrudge us the long, warm autumn. It looks like icy roads, cold automobiles, and slick sidewalks are now the order of the day. The Chicago Motor Club has a few suggestions for drivers who have trouble starting their cars this winter: 1. Don’t grind your starter. Many motorists are unaware that continuous use of the starter for periods exceeding 30 to 45 seconds is detrimental to the battery. The best starting procedure is to make repeated attempts, allowing for a 30-60 second rest period for the battery between tries. After the car does start, warm up the motor by letting it idle for several minutes. Never race a cold motor. 2. Avoid constant pumping of the accelerator when the starter is engaged. This only results in flooding the engine, causing difficult starting and heavy battery strain. If the engine is flooded, always wait several minutes before attempting to start your car again. 3. To keep your gas line from freezing, add 8 ounces of grain alcohol or approved commercial equivalent to every other full tank of gasoline. 4. When standing in traffic, put the car in neutral and step on the accelerator to keep your battery from discharging. This is particularly important during winter months because much of a motorist’s driving is done with lights, windshield "wipers, defroster, radio, and heater functioning — simultaneously —- all combining to put a severe strain on the car battery. You can eliminate many of your car problems by parking it in a garage, off the streets. This not only protects your windshield from frost so you don’t have to scrape a small hole — it eliminates many car-up-keep costs resulting from expensive weathering outside. Also, our city street department workers could work off the snow much earlier if they didn’t have parked cars clogging the streets during and following heavy snow and ice storms. This keeps them from cleaning the streets effectively, and adds to all our problems. The largest city in the world — Tokyo, Japan— recently solved its parking problems with a simple law. You cannot by an automobile license unless you have off-street parking for your car. Sounds a little drastic, but as every family gets a car, then a second car, etc., some action has to be taken to prevent pure bedlam. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

British Recapture Strategic Airfield

SINGAPORE (UPI) — British troops were reported today to have recaptured a strategic airfield in the Seria oil field regions of Brunei on the island of Borneo in a major effort to break the back of a nationalist rebellion. Official reports reaching Kuching, capital of neighboring Sarawak, said about 600 to 800 Britist troops brought in by ship seized the Andkuki airfield and were marching on the rebel-held town of Seria itself. Other British reinforcements were landed by planes at the Penaga golf course, several miles west of Seria Town, the reports said. Seria is about.?so miles south of Brunei TownXcapital of the oil-rich protectorate. 1,500 British Troops An estimated 1,500 troops have been dispatched by air and sea to Brunei to try to put down the rebellion by nationalist forces seeking to end British control over the protectorate and the neighboring crown colonies of Sarawak and North Borneo. (In London, Commonwealth and Colonial Secretary Duncan Sandys told the House of Commons that the rebels apparently planned to kidnap the Sultan of Brunei and assassinate leading political figures in Sarawak and North Borneo.) Fighting also was going on in the neighboring British colonies of Sarawak and North Borneo. Rebels reportedly captured the town of Limbang in Sarawak but government troops pushed the insurgents out of Weston in North Borneo and chased them into the hills. In the oil-rich sultanate of Brunei, focal point of the uprising, European personnel of the Shell Oil Co. oilfields were reported held by rebels at Seria. Recurrent reports reached Singapore today that several European hostages had been killed by the rebels but a spokesman for the British command said “we have not had it confirmed.” Some reports said the hostages were being used as shields by rebel fighters. Conflicting Reports Officials in Singapore said that there were conflicting reports from Seria. One report said the town was still in rebel hands but another government troops 1 20 Years Ago L.

cial security benefits. Under the law as it stands now you can earn $1,200 in a year and still collect all of your benefits.

Your friends are J correct. .You don’t have to retire completely to get some of your social security checks. A. Your friends are correct.

had recaptured it, killed a number of rebels and taken 500 prisoners. A British military spokesman in Singapore said one government soldier was killed and 12 wounded in fighting in Brunei Sunday, but he did not pinpoint the location. The spokesman said a British officer commanding crack Nepalese Gurkha troops was among the severely wounded. The Gurkhas were rushed to Brunei soon after the revolt broke out Saturday. In Manila, rebel leader A. Mohar Azahari, chairman of the Brunei People’s party, vowed that “the fight will go on and we shall not lay down our arms until the last British colonizer is driven out and the free and independent state of North Borneo is firmly established.” Azahari said the rebel TNKU has 30,000 men.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Responsibility is an important asset for everyone. How is this valuable trait developed? Parents play a major role in helping their children achieve this objective. Many forms of resppnsibility exist. All are closely related. The child who conscientiously completes his school assignments will probably be helpful in the home and trustworthy outside the home. This sounds fine, but how does your child learn to perform in this manner? Much depends upon your attitude. Show trust and confidence. Use a positive approach (reward and praise), whenever possible, as opposed to the negative (punishment). You may be surprised by the results. When someone has confidence in you, don’t you find yourself forking extremely hard to live up to his expectations? Let’s look at some possible experiences. A youngster, naturally, cannot be given the independence of a teen-ager. He can and should have freedom with! your good judgement for his safety and health. Allow him to choose proper clothing, arrange his daily schedule, pick his activities, and decide upon some and responsibilities. You may ask how a five-year-old can choose his own clothing or a seven-year-old pick his own activities. They can do it. Give the child a chance for discovery. Avoid too many "don’ts.” This should not eliminate your participation. Make sure that your child understands the basis upon which a decision should be made. When a decision is made, evaluate it with a discussion of why it was a good or poor choice. An allowance is more important than many parents realize. Handled properly, it is much more than just money to make needed purchases. The allowance should be high enough to handle routine needs plus some reasonable extras. Too high an amount leads to disrespect for the value of money and property. It is not advisable to be too rigid. If a child makes mistakes, permit him to have reasonable opportunities to correct them. An older child should be required to use- better judgement, but should have opportunities to earn more funds. A teen-ager very often needs extra money for a dance or other occasions. Such activities may be planned in advance, but he is still a child and needs help. The idea is to help the child to

work out his own problems. The possibilities for similar experiences are endless. As a child grows older, he needs more independence. If he has not developed a responsible attitude, he will not be able to deal with this increasing liberty. A parent cannot and should not always be available to supervise his child's activities. Os course, you want to know that he behaves properly even when he is not watched. A close relationship between you and your child will lead to a mutual understanding. Your continued interest end attention will leave few reasons to fear that your youngster or teenager will get into serious trouble. There can be no better assurance than the child’s own attitude of responsibility. # The Chafing Dish If a chafing dish is used, be sure always to place it on a tray before lighting the flame.
