[utters - m TO THE I EPtTOR j] Attention: High school students, school officials, parents, police and town board: I am a member of the genera- ’ tion that has completed school an I -is in the midst of raising a family. They say there is a gap between me and the younger-than--1 generation, the "now" generation; the generation of change and pi >gr«»s. Who has made the gap — my geneiation with its old fashioned rules stemming from the "When I was your age" routine — or the "progressive" generation? I witnessed- the answer while driving down Georgia and Van Buren Streets after school last week. New sidewalks were put in for the protection and convenience of the high school students. Great expense of the town went into thi- effort (our tax dollars) and many property owners suffered mu n grievance by the loss of old irreplaceable trees, shrubbery and lawn, for the sake of the kids. Ev»»yt hihg in its path was sacnfi -a except a telephone pole. '.(Ln my opinion if a sidewalk cun. built around a telephone

pile, it could have been built around the four or five tiMe that were cut down.) Are the students grateful for this progress ? A marvelous cousiderate group are. They use the sidewalks, The others are not. I saw them walking in the streets, forcing cars to move over for them. At the sight of a car they hold their ground, taking onethird to one-half of the street and walking three and four abreast. (These are probably the same kids who write foul language on church property. 1 have seen this also.) Those racoupiderate tew. cause generation gaps to broaden, They, the rule-break-ers, give a< bad cause to all their peer*., Do these students know that they are jaywalking? This is. against the law, when sidewalks are provided. I would nue to see justice and fairness prevail. If this is being old-fashioned I'm proud to say I am old-fashioned. I would like to see the students informed by the school officials that everyone is to use the sidewalks. Then I would like to see it enforced by the local police, since jaywalking is unlawful. Some of the students seen walking in the streets are children of school officials, active church members, boys as well as girls. Hey, you good guys! Let’s help close the generation gap by gentle reminders and good ex-

ample to rule-breakers. And parents of rule-breakers, does your child need your love and friendship at home? Punishment is great if administered with love. Where the fault lies, let’s all back up this effort to return respect for others to our children. And kids, if you act mature, you will be treated as mature young ladies and gentlemen. Signed, Involved and Concerned Main Street Gossip Back to school means back to studying and finding a place for school books and supplies and paraphernalia that tend to appear from no where during the school year. Most teen agers see their room at home as "a place of one’s own" for privacy and for keeping belongings. Where two or mere teens share a room, a sense of privacy can be achieved even in a small space. An inexpensive way to do this is to install pegboard dividers. These dividers take up very little space and can be arranged to give a private area lor each person sharing the rocm. It also gives an area to keep and arrange possessions and to express individual ideas concerning the use of the space. Sturdy pegboard dividers can also be useful in providing needed work and storage space. When closers and chests are already bulging, rooms can be crowded by the clutter of unstored items. Hanging shelves, desk units and storage cabinets can be used on each side of a well-supported balanced divider. These units can be bought ready to hang, or enterprising teens can design and make their own units.

. i BOWIE JKu||' O' u 1 st i Travel Tips to Save You Time, Trouble If you're going to vacation by car this year, try to have aS much concern for. auto maintenance as you do for planning the trip. You’ll not only have a safer, more enjoyable vaca* tion, but you can save money, time, and trouble, too. Here are a few general tips to remember:

TIMES — Few car owners realize that all new tires made by U.S. manufacturers have tread loss indicators, or “wear bars’’, molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. Federal law put them there. Check them before your trip; if they appear smooth at several locations, your tires are at the danger point. Also, you can save on tire wear by criss-crossing them every 5-6,000 miles.

AIR-FILTER — A dirty filter can cause a nolceable drop in gasoline mileage. Check it yourself by shining a flashlight at the paperlike fiber filter. If light fails to show through, it’s dirty and probably clogging your air intake. A new filter’s an •asy way to get better mileage.

TUNE-UPS — You can help reduce harm* ful exhaust emissions while improving^ your car’s performance by getting an annual tune-up. But if your car’s running rough, simply have the points, plugs, and condenser checked. These parts, plus adjustments to engine timing and air-to* fuel ratio may be all you need to cur® your engine woes. „ j

GASOLINE — During the past two years, most cars have been built to run on ths new lead-free fuels. Check your owner’s manual if ypu're uncertain* (Tipt if you'vs an older car, try a mixture of unleaded and leaded gasoline, gradually working towards completely unleaded on succeed* ing fill-ups. If there's no engine knock, your car can use the new fuel.) Recent studies by American Oil Company scien* tists have shown 2-4 cents per gallon maintenance savings from using lead-fre® gasoline.
