Trouble Starts In Starter
Trouble with the family
car often starts with the
starter.
In fact, says Samuel T.
Milliken, Service Manager
for Keystone Automobile
Club, many “can’t start” sit-
uations at first attributed to
dead batteries or faulty ig-
nition exentually are traced
to troublesome starters.
“The electric self starter is
a sturdy device and usually
last the life of the car with
normal use’, he said. “But,
starters need attention and
Children Alone
Invites Fires
Leaving little children at
home alone is an invitation
to fire, says the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
Too many times each year,
children left at home alone
have started playing = with
maiches with tragic conse-
quences.
Never leave children alone
for a minute. If you are go-
ing out, arrange for a compe-
tent baby sitter or call in a
neighbor to watch after them
while you are away.
Before leaving a sitter with
the children, be sure that she
knows what to do if there is
a fire.
She should, first get the
children out of the house,
then call the Fire Depart-
ment,

care and repairs, sometimes,
too. The starter’s brushes or
commutator might be worn
and need repair. Roughness
and pitting of the commuta-
tor, poor brush contacts, or
just plain dirt can cause a
starter to break down.
“It should be remembered
that weather affects starters:
particularly cold weather,
which, combined with heavy
oil, makes the starter crank
sluggishly. Under such con-
(ditions the driver never
should use the starter too
long at a time because over-
heating could burn out the
starter.
“When a starter won't turn
the engine over a mechanic
quickly can locate the troub-
(le by testing the starter with
(the car’s lights turned on.
If the lights glow dimly the
{battery probably is low on
power. Should the lights go
out when the starter key is
turned or pressed, there could
be a poor connection between
the starter motor and the bat-
tery; perhmps caused by cor-
rosion of the battery termin-
als, Such a condition can be
corrected by cleaning the
terminals and coating them
with petroleum jelly.
“When the car’s lights dim
and the starter moves very
(little or not at all, either the
battery is run down or mech-
anical trouble in the starter
or engine is adding its bur-
den. When lights remain
bright and the starter fails to
crank, the trouble often can
be traced to an open circuit
in the starter. in the starter
switch, or in the control cir-
cuit. When the starter spins
but fails to crank the engine,
look for broken teeth in the
flywheel ring gear or a defect
in the drive mechanism.
“The starter is a mighty
important device on your car.
Have it checked regularly, at
least once a year.”

Specific Purpose
It may not be so simple as
it first sounds to choose the
right lightbulb for home dec-
orating, reminds Helen Bell,
extension home management
specialist, the Pennsylvania
State University.
Manufacturers have design-
ed four different types of
lightbulbs finishes to improve
quality and to meet special
needs. Finish may be des-
cribed as inside frosted,
ceramic finish, tinted pastels
and silvered bowl.
Developed to reduce the
brightness of clear lightbulbs,
the inside-frosted finish ab-
sorbs only a small amount of
the light. But the brightness
is less than that of the clear
bulb and sharp lines are re-
duced. .
Bulbs with a ceramic or
milky white finish have a
coating of fine white silica
particles on the inside of the
bulb, Miss Bell explains.
Light is distributed over the
entire bulb surface, with no
bright spot near the finament
With a ceramic finish, harsh
shadows are eliminated.
Tinted pastel bulbs are
made by the same process as
the ceramic white bulb, and
both provide the same diffus-
ion and softness of illumina-
tion. The colored coating ab-
sorbs some light. Tinted
bulbs are designed to accent
or complement certain colors
Designed primarily for
base-up fixtures, the silvered-
bowl bulb is a standard in-
side-frosted bulb with a sil-
ver coating on the bowl end.
It’s often used where inside
frosted bulbs have been used
for general lighting. Miss
Bell cautions against using an
ordinary bulb in a fixture or
lamp designed for a silvered
- bowl bulb.

to the spirit of worship and
fellowship respectively. If

Conestoga Wagon ‘Finest’
The Conestoga wagon, ‘the
finest wagon the world has
ever known,” was one of the
outstanding contributions of
Lancaster county to Pennsyl-
vania and all the United
States.
First built for hauling pro-
duce from the fertile farms
of the Conestoga Valley a-
bout 1725, the wagon played
an important part in national
history for over 100 years.
It provided the major
means for carrying foodstuffs
from the Pennsylvania Ger-
man country to Philadelphia,
and freight on the return trip

Convenience Foods
Not Necessarily Costly
Using convenience foods
doesn’t necessarily mean
you're increasing your food
bill, says Harold E. Neigh,
extension consumer econom-
ices specialist at the Penna.
State University.
Some "nationality and gour-
met-type dishes are rather
costly. But the less expensive
convenience items are the
ones bought in volume.
With higher incomes and
with more women working a-
way from home, sales of con-
venience foods have gone up.
However, volume selling
helps to keep prices down,
Neigh explains.
New processing and pack-
aging techniques will contin-
ue to bring new convenience
foods. Right now about fifty
different kinds of processed
potatoes are available, and
this doesn’t include the differ-
ent brands.
The newest in packaging is
the squeeze tubes being used
for baby feeding and for bed-
ridden patients. Applesauce
is one of the first foods mar-
keted in a tube.
" Easy-open beverage cans,
new thin aluminum contain-
ers, and improved glass, plac-
tic, and paper boxes are in
use.
Freeze - dried concentrates,
a jelled applesauce, and rais-
in paste to use in filled cook-
ies are among other new pro-
ducts. The jelled applesauce
turns to liquid when heated.
When poured into a mold
with fruits and nuts, it will
solidify when cooled.

when Lancaster was Ameri-
ca’s biggest inland town.
Benjamin Franklin in 1755
persuaded the Pennsylvania
German farmers and wagon-
ers to furnish 150 Conestoga
wagons and carry supplies
to the aid of Braddock’s ill-
dated expedition against the
French at Fort Dusquene,
where Pittsburgh now stands.
As roads improved, as
many as 50 of these wagons
would make the journey to-
gether as a wagon train, to
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
and points en route. Many
settlers started their way
west in Conestogas.
The first turnpike in Amer-
ica was the great road con-
necting Lancaster with Phila-
delphia. So any of the wag-
ons used it, that it became
known as the Conestoga
Road.
The Conestoga wagons
which sprang from its design
helped open the West — first
the Conestogas to Pittsburgh,
then the “Pitt Teams” over
he Alleghenies, and later the
“prairie schooners” to the
country beyond.
Drawing the Conestoga
wagons were horses specially
bred for the job—the Cones-
togas. The color scheme of
the wagons was patriotic —
red, white and blue. They
were big and durable, built
with loving care by the Penn-
sylvania German craftsmen
of the day.
The wagons and the hearty
Pennsylvanians who manned
them went out as the rail-
roads came in—but they left
a heritage that will not be
forgotten.
You can see Conestoga
wagons in action—and ride
in one—at special events
held by the Pennsylvania
Farm Museum at Landis
Valley.
