There are several hazards in residential areas that are uncommon on the open highway. Children sometimes dart out in the street, especially after the long winter, with little regard for oncoming traffic. Check Your Headlights Slippery roads sometimes cause small collisions which can throw your headlights out of kilter, cautions the Chicago Moton Club-AAA. Most often the bumps are so miner driver never knows anything is amiss. After a tough winter, chances are your headlights will need adjusting, and motorists should have this included as part of their spring auto maintenance program. When Removing Snow Tires A thorough tire check should be made when snow tires are changed for regular tires, says the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. If regular tires are cracked, balding, or unevenly worn, an alignment and tire balancing may be in order. Watch Out For Bicyclers The Chicago Motor Club-AAA warns motorists to be extremely careful when approaching children on bicycles. Although children are taught bicycle safety rules, it’s not uncommon to see them riding more than one abreast, riding with an extra passenger, or not stopping at stop signs. Be alert at all times for bike riders. Station Wagon Hazard Driving a station wagon with the rear window down can be dangerous, says the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. Exhaust fumes tend to follow a vehicle’s wing path, and they can easily rise to rear window level and enter a moving vehicle. Rapid carbon monoxide poisoning may then occur. Station wagon drivers who want to enjoy motoring in the lovely spring weather should make sure there’s plenty of extra ventilation inside when the rear window is down. HOWE FA II 2s Gen. Howe left Philadelphia with a British army of 14,000 men on Dec. 4. 1777. to tfrive Gen. Washing ton from his position at Whitemarch, but he failed to attack.

Whut kind of spender are you?

WEST LAFAYETTE — Attitudes about money influence relationships with family, friends, and associates. Dr. Jan Armstrong, extension consumer affairs specialist at Purdue University, suggests that you look through the following situations. See if you recognize yourself in some of these characters. For example, there is the bargain buyer. This shopper is often less interested in merchandise than in getting a bargain — in winning a battle of wits with the salesman. Visitors to a foreign country may spend hundreds for their trip, yet they may be delighted at talking a salesman into a lower price for a souvenir. This salesman may be aware of the pleasure he is providing and may shrewdly raise prices high enough so that even when the shoppers win the battle they are paying more than the normal price. Why are bargains and sales so appealing? The seller seems to play the role of the authority figure — perhaps a teacher or parent. Winning over him is in many ways comparable to outwitting authority. It’s away people can assert superiority and independence. Look at your own buying practices, suggests Dr. Armstrong. Are you buying bargains that are worth the cost? Or does getting the merchandise at a bargain override the consideration of need and usefulness? Then there’s the depressed buyer When you’re down in the dumps, buying is often a compensation. We all have days that are frustrating and leave us gloomy. Maybe we’ve had a bout with a broken appliance, disappointment on the job, or bad news about a friend or relative. Buying something is often away to boost our spirits, points out the Purdue specialist, and what does the trick for each of us may vary —a fancy sundae, a new magazine, a new hairdo, or a new pipe. For some people, this buying can be costly, if it happens too often, or if purchases are expensive ones such as a new car or new clothes. Buying something new to lift your spirits may be good every once in a while for emotional health. But if it’s the reason for frequent buying of frivolous or expensive items, says Dr. Armstrong, perhaps you need to look further into the cause of your depression, and work to solve it. The spiteful buyer could even describe you occasionally, sometimes we feel like martyrs. We feel neglected when we’re working hard and no one pays any attention, so we go out and buy something. Not necessarily because we need it, or even like it, but because we know buying it will annoy somone in our family, says Dr. Armstrong. For example, a wife may pay for a new short hairdo (knowing her husband prefers her hair long) to irritate and get attrition from him A child may buy something he knows his parents will disapprove of with the subconscious intention of

making them angry. This action would be all right as a means of getting over a feeling of neglect if the purchase made one feel good. But, adds the specialist, people in this situation often tend to buy soffietnfag they really don’t like. They complain about it later, making themselves and their family even more unhappy about the purchase. Test yourself: how many times in the last few months have you bought something that has made you feel unhappy later? Many people want to be recognized as distinct individuals. Marketers, knowing this, have segmented their markets and prepared special products and advertising appeals, says the consumer specialist. Note especially in the cosmetics field the wide range of shampoos for women and men — oily, dry, dandruff, straight, bleached, tinted, anti-allergic. Or die recent popularity of products that provide a chance for individuality and creativity -winemaking kits, decoupage, macrame and candlemaking. Marketers know many people are willing to pay more for a product that will make them stand out from the crowd, or one tailored to individual tastes. The extra costs for individuality in products can be considerable. For example, you have to pay extra for many of the options on a new car that are not functional and do not make it safer or more economical to drive —a stripe of color, or a vinyl top. Dr. Armstrong asks: how often have you paid extra to get something personally suited to your tastes? Last but not least is the wishful buyer. For those to whom the aging process — though natural — is dreadful, there is a host of products “guaranteed” to maintain teenage figures, smooth out wrinkles, darken hair, boost vigor. Examine your bathroom cabinet and closet. How many products are there to make you allegedly feel or look younger? We all like to have some grooming aids around, acknowledges the Purdue specialist, but do these products really work for you, or are they costly and in vain?
