Self-services should get full service too

The Chicago Motor Club-AAA advises “self-servicers” to patronize a full service station every few fill-ups for a preventive check-up or do the checking yourself. Avoiding or simply forgetting about maintenance can eat up those self-serve savings in repair bills. Do-it-yourselfers should check all of the following on a regular basis, motor oil level, battery fluid level, radiator coolant level, tire pressure, fan belts, radiator and heater hoses, tires, power steering fluid, battery cable condition, fan belt tension, windshield wipers and washer fluid level. A weekly check of motor oil, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, tires and lights, plus a monthly check of coolant, transmission, brake and battery fluids, battery cables, wiper blades and drivle belts and hoses is also recommenced. Gas Prices Level Off Average gasoline prices appear to be leveling off after a series of increases that have sent prices spiraling to record highs over the past few months. Slight price drops were noted in all three grades of gasoline in northern Indiana. The average price of regular sagged one-tenth of a cent to 68.1 cents per gallon, premium was down two-tenths of

a cent to 73.5 cents per gallon and unleaded dropped two-tenths of a cent to 71.2 cents per gallon.

Arraigned in superior court on Thursday Bradley Dean Shaw, 21, 200 East Boston, Syracuse, appeared before Judge Robert Burner in Kosciusko Superior Court last Thursday and made a plea of guilty to theft, a class D felony. The theft was in connection with stealing of a pickup truck from the William Hoover residence at Dewart Lake on September 2. Shaw has been in the county jail since being arrested in September. He has been remanded into custody of the sheriff and a pre-sentence investigation has been ordered. Two other Syracuse men were involved in the theft incident. Sentenced last week were Thomas R. Trammel, 18, and Douglas R. Adams, 19. The three stole the truck and were arrested following day near Albuquerque, N.M.

Laetrile controversy continues

- The controversy over the use of laetrile, a drug which has been around since the early 1950’5, in the treatment of cancer continues. Four groups, the National Health Federation, the Internal Association for Cancer Victims and Friends, the Cancer Control Society and the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy, have lobbied with the McNaughton Foundation for introduction and passage of bills relating to laetrile through state legislature. An article in the “Annals of Internal Medicine” summed up the situation : “The FDA’s response, from a legal standpoint, is that it will continue to take regulatory action against commercial distribution of laetrile when federal laws are violated. States that have legalized laetrile must produce the drug completely within their state boundaries. “Until in-state manufacturers are established, laetrile will not be generally available, and

importation will probably continue on an individual basis.” The article foresees the possibility of laetrile clinics being established in some states. Many of their patients are likely to be newly diagnosed patients who decided to bypass regular medical care. “The present level of activities with laetrile will probably continue until interest wanes as the negative scientific findings gain more notoriety.” Negative findings include a number of cases of cyanide poisoning. The recent legislative activity gives the medical professional the opportunity to encourage, discourage or ignore the use of laetrile for cancer therapy. Bone Loss And Exercise Bone loss (osteoporosis) is the cause of about 350,000 of the million fractures that occur annually in women over 45. Regular exercise can help alleviate this problem. The chief structural element of human bone is calcium. In-

Make Halloween a real treat

A Halloween never goes by any more without news of children being struck down by cars, seriously burned when costumes ignite, or becoming sick from poisoned “treats.” Parents can help make Hallowe'en a happy and safe time for their children by reducing the risks they face. The following suggestions will help. At least one responsible adult should accompany younger children. Restrict trick or treating to the immediate neighborhood. Be alert for stray, fenced or chained pets who may be surprised or irritated. Encourage children to bring

their treats home for inspection before being consumed. For those expecting trick or treaters, make a special effort to ensure them a safe stop. Keep the front entrance and driveway well lit and tie up the family pet. For those who will be driving, use extra caution, especially in residential areas. Halloween safety will make Halloween more fun. Costumes should be carefully selected or constructed to ensure that they contain only flameresistant material, do not interfere with walking, ensure unobstructed vision and can be easily seen after dark. Strips of reflective tape will add both to

the costume and the child's safety. Check Withholding Forms Employers should take a closer look at the withholding allowance statements turned in by their employees in order to identify potentially false statements. Submission to an employer of a fraudulant withholding statement is a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. Employers who fail to collect or deposit withheld taxes from their payrolls are taking a large risk of subjecting themselves to severe penalties.
