"Doing your own auto repairs may save you money," Linn C. 'Baker, President of the Utah Safety Council said, "but if you neglect safety in your work, you may pay an even higher price in the pain and loss that can result from driveway accidents." According to Baker, even the simplest auto repairs involve serious hazards hazards that can grow into potentially lethal accident situations for the novice mechanic. One of the driveway mechanic's most common and most dangerous mistakes, Baker said, is using a bumper jack to support the car while he works under it. A hard tug on a rusted assembly could shove the car off the jack or the jacks lock could fail and let the car drop to the pavement, he warn- Girl, born April 23 to Mr. and Mrs. Glen C.

A mechanic whose metal watch-ban- d or ring contacts the positive battery terminal while a wrench in his other hand contacts the engine block or frame is in line for a shock and a ser ious electrical burn, he said. Batteries also present an explosion hazard, according! to Baker, since they breathe out hydrogen gas. Especially large amounts of the explosive gas are liberated when the battery is being charged or jumped, he said, and he cautioned against allowing spark or flame sources near the work area. Amateur auto repairmen may face still another explosion hazard from solvents used to clean greasy auto parts. Baker said gasoline and other explosive solvents should never be used as cleaning agents. solvents, available at hardware stores, should be used instead. Less deadly, but still serious burn hazards are everywhere around a vehicles engine and exhaust system. Exhaust manifold temperatures, even while the engine idles, can run as high as 600 degrees. Muffler surface temperatures can run over 400 degrees, and radiator fluids under pressure can be well above the boiling point. d Gloves and sturdy shirts or jackets are good insurance against burns, Baker said. They also provide protection against lacerations from jagged metal protrusions and protection against scraped knuckles if a hand should slip from a wrench. Baker added, however, that gloves and jackets should be close fitting to keep them from becoming entangled in the fan or belts.

The computer electronically reads the meter reading on the account meter sheet, compares it with the previous month, subtracts the previous reading from the new reading to determine how many kilowatt hours you have used during the billing period, then it computes and prints your bill. If, however, the amount of kilowatt hours is unusually high or low, compared to previous months, the computer rejects the computation, and your account meter sheet is returned to the meter reader, who then goes back to your residence and takes a completely new reading. Is meter accessible? If accessible, every meter is read every month. Utah Power no longer estimates bills except u hen meters are not accessible.
