Army called out to help can drive Pupils at the Forest Manor School, 4501 E. 32nd Street, were to celebrate the completion of their canned good drive November 20, 1978. at 11:00 a.m. The theme or slogan for the drive is “Give a can to help your fellowman." Five-thousand canned food items have been collected to supply the “Emergency Food Pantry” of the Forest Manor Multi-Service Center, 3716 N. Sherman Drive. The cans will be issued throughout the year to families in the area who find themselves in emergency situations. Counselors at the center will connect the client to an appropriate Social Service agency such as the Department of Public Welfare, Trustees Office of employment opportunities. The canned goods will be transported from the school to the center by members of the 2nd Batallion of the Troop Brigade, Fort Benjamin Harrison. Mr. Terry Loux, a Social Studies teacher at the school was the coordinator of the drive.

The Battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on nearby Breed's Hill, and lost by the Revolutionaries. Time is short for winterizing your car

The first snowflakes of winter are a reminder that time is running out on automobile owners who have been putting off preparing their cars for what looks like another fierce winter. The Insurance Information Institute urges motorists to take the time now to ensure that most of their cars’ 5,000 moving parts do not fail them in the middle of a January blizzard. Getting ready for another winter requires a thorough prewinter auto check-up by your neighborhood mechanic or service station attendant--and preparation of a cold weather survival kit. A checklist of “things to do” to put you car in first-rate condition should include: -Tuning the engine by a

mechnanic you (or your friends) can trust. -Check the battery to be certain it is fully charged and ready for several weeks of cold starts. -Consider an oil change before the snow hits and purchase a multi-grade oil such as 10W-40 for easier starts and better fuel economy. -Check the heating system for adequate coolant in the radiator, look for loose fan belts and cracked hoses. (Anti freeze protection should be maintained at a minimum of -20 degrees Fahrenheit.) -Brakes should be tested and front-end alignment considered —Snow tires should be properly inflated and mounted immediately. Make a close inspection of the amount of tread left on your tires; if the dept is less than 2/23 of an inch, you are not ready for winter. (To check the thickness, place the top edge of a penny into the tread groove. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, the tires should be replaced.) In addition to preparing your car’s equipment for cold weather, the I.I.I. also advises every motorists to anticipate emergencies. A winter survival kit in each car ought to include: -A pair of cheap gloves. -Flares, matches and a flashlight (with fresh batteries) - Battery jumper cables (know how to use them). -Screwdriver and adjustable pliers. -Heavy wool blanket and an ice scraper. -Rock salt, sand or gravel (to add weight to the rear of your car for traction and to pour under the tires if you are bogged down in snow). Two final suggestions: especially during the cold weather period, keep the gas tank at least half full, and wax your car once before the really cold temperatures arrive in order to protect the finish until warm weather returns in the spring.

“Consumer onthego’\. Banking At Home? Protect Your Money With Travelers Checks Be it ever so humble, sure there’s no place like home. But, according to American Express, millions of dollars are lost each year by dwellers who habitually leave cash at home. What can these cash hoarders do to protect their money? According to Consumer Affairs expert at American Express, Barbara »Sullivan, “There’s little risk in keeping a small amount of cash at home for emergencies. However, with a large sum of money it’s better to deposit it in a financial institution or convert it into travelers checks. American Express Cheques, for example,^neveir expire and, if they .are lost at home or stolen, you can get them replaced.” What follows are five common reasoiy why people lose their money in their homes: ’ •1. People hide money at home and, like “absentminded” professors, forget where they put it. 2. The pockets of old discarded clothing or items sent to the cleaners often have cash that has been forgotten. 3. Pets and children delight in tearing up and even swallowing bills. 4. Plies destroy carii, like everything else. 5. Robbers who break Into homes and apartments ate experts at discovering “secret” hiding places.

Indy Trade Association Library holiday starts membership drive ,s listed

The Indy Trade Association, completing its sixth year of operation December 1, will begin a massive effort to recruit new members for the organization, to broaden the base of the association as recommended in a recent evaluation of the organization. Indy Trade has been involved in many activities over the past few years, by providing technical assistance to members to upgrade their businesses, involved in supporting legal assistance to contractors cited in contract set aside, providing business opportunities and sponsoring contract workshops. Some of the members have been assisted through the use of the emergency loan fund, loans that aUqwed the small business operators to meet emergency obligation for short term duration. The group of small business operators have shared their experiences, the good and the bad resulting in many worthwhile solutions. This kind of involvement is the basic reason why such an organization is needed, and it is imperative that the new goal for new members be met. “The number of small business operators is declining every day, due to the high cost of operation, and increased taxation. Indy Trade will assume the role of the advocate for the small business operators with increased vigor. There has
