Show f f WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH 29, 1979 Irtow iieseB Mtfers From (as Emejmes With some diesel engines now on the car market and others coming down the road, motorists have become curious about how they compare with gasoline engines. The Automotive Information Council offers the following: THE BIGGEST difference that diesels do not have spark plugs or a carburetor. Instead of using a spark to mixture ignite the fuel-ai- r provided by the carburetor, diesels inject fuel into the engine and cause the fuel to explode by compressing it under great pressure. Diesel engines have a compression ratio of about 22 to 1, versus is an average of gasoline engine. 8 to for a 1 a gasoline engine. However, ' they also have 10 to 20 percent less power than a gasoline engine of the same size, so a driver has to adjust to the slower acceleration. A diesel wont start until its warmed up, which for-or merly took a full minute even more. The newer engines are equipped with a glow plug which warms the unit in a few seconds. A start-liginforms the driver when the car is ready to go. Diesels will not chase away gasoline engines, but their unique sound will be heard more and more often as the years go by, says AIC, but only if the Federal Government permits it. These rapid-fir- e explosions are what cause the diesel to have its unique clicking sound. The car companies use materials to muffle the clicks. sound-insulatin- g THE HIGH compression ratio requires a stronger and heavier engine block. A typical U.S. car diesel weighs 500 pounds more than its gasoline counterpart and costs perhaps $750 more. Costs are expected to come down when volume increases. A major advantage to a diesel is fuel economy, but 20 to 25 percent better than with THE ENVIRONMENTAL Protection Agency recently proposed strict new emission standards tor aiesei engines in 1983, which the auto makers say they cannot meet. The new rule calls for particulate exhaust emissions of 0.2 grams per mile in 1983, compared with 0.6 grams in 1981. One company said the difference between the 0.6 and the 0.2 would be about three ounces less dust from a mile-lon- g convoy of bumper-to-bumpdiesel cars.

Auto Union Uneasy Over Closings Announcement of tem- porary plant closings by Ford, Chrysler and American Motors to help reduce bulging inventories has resulted in considerable concern on the part of the United Auto Workers, whose three-yea- r union contracts expire in this year. LABOR OFFICIALS involved with the automotive industry are keenly aware of the fact that slowdowns and SUSAN BROWN Winner In Science Fair Competition The North Layton Jr. High School Science Fair was held March 15 in the school gym. About 275 projects were entered. Judging was based on three things scientific procedure, creativity and skills and presentation. There was a first, second and third place prize given in two categories for each grade. Honorable mentions for each grade were also given. A grand prize winner was selected. PARENTS WERE invited to view the Science Fair Thursday evening and to hear the winners announced. Susan Brown who entered a project on storing the suns energy, was the grand prize winner. She won this same honor last year. OTHER WINNERS were 7th grade physical: 1st, Karen Harrington, 2nd, Mike Over-so- n and Larry Tanner; 3rd, Chad Hazeldine.

True, insiders are of the opinion that General Motors will be the target when bar- gaining sessions are called, and that firm is enjoying overtime activity right now rather than inventory pile-- , ups. THIS DOES not alter the fact, however, that two of the automotive Big Three Ford and Chrysler have held output too high for too long, and currently have been forced to seek viable ways of controlling inventories. These two, along with American Motors, intend to lay off temporarily more than 33,000 employes at various times during the present month.

Naturally, inventories vary greatly according to models, with certain styles still in acute demand and avidly sought by agencies. sales upswing is, of course, hoped for as we move into spring and early summer months.

DR. ELEANORE Luckey, chairman of the Department of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah, said research studies show that parental attitudes and actions have the greatest impact on a teenagers decision to use illicit drugs, marijuana or alcohol. Speaking at a conference at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte Tuesday, Luckey said parental actions speak louder than words, and parents who discourage their children from drinking or drug use while using the drugs themselves are defeating their purpose by their actions. of closeness and warmth between parent and child is the best predictor of illicit drug use, followed by the extent of control exercised by the parent. The greater the parental control, the greater the tendency to use drugs. The study also found that different factors affect the decision of a teenager to either use or abstain from using synthetic drugs or ala lack cohol. A FATHERS influence is especially important in the area of alcohol, while a mothers example plays a large role in the use of psychoactive drugs. Luckey said adolescents appear to be using illicit drugs in part to cope with feelings of depression. And again, they're mimicking the behavior of adults.
