Buys truck — (Continued from page 1) Sales, for $3,800, but was decided against due to the age of the truck, a 1973 Chevrolet C6O cab and chassis. The board also approved a transfer of funds to pay for the new truck A total of $7,000 was transfered, $6,035.62 for the truck, and SSOO for the bed transfer as well as S2OO for a pully system and pole for the sander. Other Business Several other items were brought before the board to be considered before the next board meeting, December 20. The first

was a list drawn up by Town Attorney Robert Reed of used equipment the town would like to put up for sale, and the second, a fifth portable for the police department. Police Chief Ron Robinson said be felt a new portable is needed and several other things can be done away in his present budget to pay for it He also said if a portable is purchased before January 1, the town would save about $l5O. The portable would cost about $1,064 if bought before the first of the year. Robinson also asked for S3OO to purchase clothing for Jack Zimmerman, fifth police officer of the department The request was approved. Mrs. Betty Dust, Clerk-Treasurer, also reminded board members that they are going to have to find some funds to pay Zimmerman next year because he will be unable to be paid under the CETA program, as is being done at the present time. Robinson also said the only items he will be needing out of the present budget are three portable batteries at a cost of $45 each. Another item discussed by the board future consideration is a communication system for town trucks. Robinson, Farber and Town Board President James C. Tranter are checking this out. Farber also told the board that residents should start leaving their water running so the pipes won’t freeze. Robinson said be would also like to have some courtesy tickets printed up to be put on cars parking along snow routes. An executive session has been called by the board to discuss real estate matters for 9 am. Saturday, Dec. 10, in the town tell. Next regularly scheduled meeting of the board is December 20. V By Sunny Griffin -■■■-— Beau iy A Fashion Director,. [ Avon, Inc. FASHION FORECAST If fashion this season could be summed up into one word—that word would be “romance.” Romance is the sensation seen in the softness and flow of clothes. Look for defined waists and full skirts—all softness and charm with lots of ruffles and lace. The trend is away from strict, utilitarian sportswear to sensual, body conscious clothes andj# feeling of luxury. And ruffles—everywhere — around the neck, up the front, around wrists and as flounces on skirts. For fun there are shawls in every imaginable size to wrap up anything and everything, and make you feel gloriously feminine. Fall colors range from vibrant jewel and berry tones to subdued dusty or earthy shades, and paisley and tiny florals are the favorite prints for soft, romantic clothes. The best thing about the new clothes is that they are both very wearable and very flattering. This is the year to put things together however you like and invent new looks all your own. But with a dramatic look you can’t be disheveled—your grooming must be perfect. This fall we’re not wearing makeup to hide behind, but to play up what we like about ourselves. If you feel good about yourself, you’ll want to try some of the new clothes, but by all means, don’t forget to update your makeup as well. The new makeup is sheer and luminous with burnished, earthy colors and there is a definite balance to the faceeyes, lips, cheeks—all the same intensity and all very close to the same color. For example, you could wear a pinky brown eye shadow and a pinky brown lip and cheek color for a wonderful monocromatic face that is the perfect foil for the soft romantic look of fall. r>* ? -*Zfn7 ~ The yo-yo is depicted on ancient Greek vase paintings dating back as far as the eighth century B.C.

Winter traction facts

Now is the time for motorists to do some serious thinking about snow tires, if they don’t already own a pair. The Chicago Motor Club-AAA has put together a fact sheet on winter traction for the perplexed driver who must battle the snows. 1. Radial tires offer no advantage over regular tires when driving on ice; the traction performance of radial tires in snow varies widely and dependent on the tread configuration. 2. Conventional snow tires (without studs) offer no advantage over regular tires in stopping on ice; in fact, they are slightly inferior to regular tires in this respect. 3. Studded snow tires on the rear wheels reduce braking distance on ice by 19 per cent as compared with regular tires. 4. Reinforced tire chains on the rear wheels reduce braking distance on ice by 50 per cent as compared with regular tires. 5. Conventional snow tires (without studs) improve pulling ability by 28 per cent on glare ice and 51 per cent on loosely packed snow as compared with regular tires. 6. Studded snow tires develop about three times the pulling ability of regular tires on glare ice. 7. Reinforced tire chains provide more than seven times Car-semi accident near Leesburg on Monday A car and tractor-trailer accident happened Monday, at 7:45 a m. at the intersection of CR 200E and 900 N, three miles northeast of Leesburg. The rig, owned by Shirley & Son Trucking Co., r 1 Milford, was driven by Palmer L. Stambaugh, 21, of Atwood. Kevin D. Emmons, 19, or 2415 Westside Dr, Warsaw, was driver of the car. Damage set to the car was $450. The tractor received no damage, but damaged was an M & M Trailer owned by Maple Leaf Farms Inc., r 1 Milford. County Patrolman Alan Rovenstine reported the tractor-trailer was making a left turn onto CR 200E when the Emmons car came over a hill and slid into the rig. ♦ • ♦ The first scarecrows used to protect growing corn were the whistles hung on poles by American Indian childrenwhich frightened away field pests when the wind blew through them.

the pulling ability of regular tires on glare ice, and better than four times the pulling ability of regular tires on loosely packed snow. 8. When used on the rear wheels only, these traction aids do not materially improve the cornering capacity of a vehicle. With studded tires on all four wheels, however, cornering speed is increased about 25 per cent 9. Regardless of efforts to improve traction on ice through the use of snow tires, studded tires, or reinforced tire chains, in no instance is the resulting traction close to that of conventional highway tires on either dry or wet pavement.
