of the award will begin at 7 p.m. Monday, March 12, in the Milford Community Building. MORE SNOW fen on Tuesday afternoon. Won’t winter ever give up. After, all. spring is only two weeks away. DURING LAST week’s snow storih many people found themselves stranded at home for one or two days and had to find a way to keep from getting cabin fever. It’s funny how most of us are so busy that we dream of a day when we can escape the routine and do what we want ... then when nature forces us out of our routine we find it hard to keep busy. Not so in at least one household last week. The husband of the house decided to take it upon himself to clean out the desk in the den; a job that had not been done in a number of years. About mid-morning he decided he was making a bigger mess than he had had before he started. How true! However, by evening the desk drawers were as neat a could be and the mess had been cleaned up and at least one person felt like he , had accomplished something on his unexpected “vacation” day. Among the items found was a sheet giving instructions on how to repair an electronic instrument. Since we have so many computers at The M-J he shared it with us. It follows: Step 1. Approach the ailing instrument in a confident manner. This will give the instrument the mistaken idea that you know something. It will also impress anyone who happens to be looking, and if the instrument should suddenly start working, you will be credited with its repair. If this step fails to work, proceed to step 2. . Step 2. Wave the service manual at the instrument. This will make it assume that you are at least familiar with the source of knowledge. Should this step fail to work, proceed to step 3. Step 3. In a forcible manner recite Ohm’s law to the instrument. (caution • • * before taking this step, refer to some reliable handbook to be sure of your knowledge of Ohm’s law). This will prove to the instrument beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you know something. This is a drastic step and should be attempted only if the first two fail. If this step fails to work, proceed to step 4. Step 4. Jar the instrument slightly. This may require anything from a three to six foot drop, preferably on a concrete floor. However, you must be careful with this step because, while jarring is an approved method of repair, you must not mar the floor. Again, this is a

very drastic step. If it fails, proceed to step 5. Step 5. Brandish a large screwdriver in a menacing manner. This will frighten the instrument and demonstrate your knowledge of the deadly “short circuit” technique. Proceed to step 6. Step 6. Add a tube ... even if the instrument is solid state. This will prove that you are familiar with the instrument’s design. This will confuse the instrument and thereby increase your advantage. If this doesn’t work, proceed to the most drastic and dangerous step. It is seldom needed and is a final resort if all else fails! ! ! Step 7. THINK . . J Backing car hits another Charmaine A. Egolf, 40,136 W. North St., Syracuse, was involved in a backing mishap on Sunday, Feb. 26, at 6:35 p.m. The mishap occurred on North Street, approximately 120 feet east of Maple Street in Syracuse. Mrs. Egolf was backing from a private drive and did not see the vehicle parked on the north side of North Street, because of the blind spot. The parked auto is registered to John and Rhonda Young, 19287 Garfield, Redford, Mich. Damage to the Young auto was estimated up to SI,OOO. There was no damage to the auto driven by Mrs. Egolf, which was registered to Steve or Connie Solina, 425 S. Lake St., Syracuse. Syracuse Police Officer Robert Houser investigated. Minor accident in parking lot Syracuse Police investigated a minor accident in the parking lot of State Bank of Syracuse, Village Branch, on Friday, March 2, at 1:25 p.m. Everett Ketering, 80, 601 S. Harrison St., Syracuse, was backing out of a parking space at the bank when his auto collided with a vehicle owned by Gus and Jo Liske, r 5 box 152 Syracuse, which was also parked. Ketering not knowing he struck the vehicle, left the scene. Syracuse Police Officer William Selvey estimated the damage was up to S3OO to the Liske auto. sls damage in fire at pro shop Syracuse Firemen were called to the Maxwelton Pro Shop, Syracuse at 2:16 p.m. Saturday, March 3, for a structure fire. According to Syracuse fire officials a ballast in a fluorescent light burned up causing the small fire. Firemen checked the structure for fire and unwired the light fixture.
