When this is the case, head: lights can be more of a hazard than a help. Improperly aimed headlights can mislead you they can make you believe you can see farther ahead than you really can. They can also blind other drivers if they are aimed too high. Even the highly effective coatings on road markings, traffic signs, etc., can't give you as bright a message if your headlights arent aimed for maximum visibility without a dangerous glare. Supposedly, a cars headlights are properly aimed when the vehicle leaves the assembly line, but its a good practice to have your dealer check and adjust the headlamp positioning before you take possession of your new car. Even so, all you have to do to throw your lights out of adjustment is to put 100 lbs. or more of weight in your trunk. Presto your headlights are aimed too high. Another good way to knock your beams off line is to hit a chuckhole too hard. After that, the headlights are likely to be aiming in almost any direction. Still another way to change the headlight alignment is to drive your car for about a year. In that time, your springs, shock Measure up to the middle of the headlights, then place a cross on the wall at this height and directly in front of each head light unit and aim your lights at these marks, as follows: Two inches Each high beam below the horizontal centerline and centered on its vertical cen- terline.

The Board of Water Resources will advance $55,000 and local spon sors will pay from their own assessment $25,000 and the United States Department of Agriculture will grant $20,000 as a share in the public interest. Mr. Lawrence, Director of the Board of Water Resources, said that this fund, when repaid, shall revert to the Revolving Fund to be used for other feasible water conservation projects. New Fishing Stamps Effective January 1 On Flaming Gorge Utah fishermen heading for Flaming Gorge Reservoir after January 1, 1969, who are plan ning on fishing in the Wyoming portion of the reservoir are to pick up a new 1969 Wyoming stamp and put it with their 1968 Utah fishing license to avoid any conflicts with Fish and Game Officers who will be checking anglers on the reservoir. Utah and Wyoming have reciprocal fishing stamps which allow anglers to fish all of Flaming Gorge Reservoir with a fishing license of one state and a fishing stamp from the other. The fishing stamps are issuec on a calendar year basis anc thus become effective on January 1 of each year. Utah fishermen will continue to use their 1968 license through April 15, 1969, but if they fish outside of the Utah portion o: Flaming Gorge they must have the new fishing stamp properly signed beginning January 1 ad-4vis- Consider the woe of artist LeVallg: He drove to deliver his portrait of Sally But no tire chains had he.

PREVENT THOSE WINTER DRIVING WOES The Safe Winter Driving League presents this tip for safer winter driving from the National Safety Council: Tests show that reinforced tire chains provide four to seven times as much pulling ability on snow and ice as regular tires without chains. Always carry chains in the trunk of your car to assure your ability to get through regardless of the weather.

Maia Wojciechowska, author of juvenile books, accuses writers of books for the young of ignoring the concerns of teenagers, and persistently going back to their own turn-o- f - the century childhoods, or writing tepid little stories . . . and boring accounts of what they consider 'problems. In an SLJ article entitled An End to Nostalgia, the winner of the 1965 Newbery Medal contrasts "The Real Child with The Fictional Child. In dramatic monologue, each child gives a selfthe real child description declaring her concern with sex, school, race prejudices, drugs, books, music, and adult hypocrisy, while her fictional counterpart gazes through glasses and talks expectantly about the high school prom. The administrative support that makes a relevant library collection possible is demonstrated in Frank A.

In his article, Where the Buck Stops, Stevens, until recently Chief of the Bureau of School Libraries for New York State, and now with the U.S. Office of Education, answers indignant complaints and eloquently defends Huckleberry Finn, It Could Happen to Anyone (a novel of teenage pregnancy), and Manchild in the Promised Land. well-know- n rose-colore- d e Doctor in the Kitchen0 by Laurence M. Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council HOW TO OUTWIT YOUR HOSTESS So it's Holiday time. And time to outwit your hostess. Whats that you say? Outwit your hostess? Sounds lacking in manners, for sure. But I have in mind your protecting yourself when it comes to all those goodies that Holiday parties offer to thicken your waistline. Thats the kind of outwitting of your hostess that this column will explore. If the approach seems negative, think of the pounds you wont have to take off next month if you watch what you eat now. That will make you feel positive. Your hostess doesnt mean it, of course. Her aim is to entertain you royally. But do you need all those calories? Buffets Help Buffets are a natural for outwitting your hostess since you do your own serving. Many hostesses nowadays serve buffet for just to allow their that reason to have as or as little much guests wish. as they But what do you do when seated at the dinner table and its groaning with things that are endlessly tempting? This is where discipline become paramount. You can avoid rich gravies, all gravies, in fact. You can cut the fat off your meat. If a platter is passed, you can attempt to serve yourself leaner cuts. Avoid excessive servings of bread or rolls. And all second helpings. Easy on the fats. Easy on salad dressings and oils. Somehow try to avoid large pieces of cake or pic for dessert. Leave some of any dessert at your place. Dont use too much sugar in your coffee. One friend of mine suggests that if your e is grossly overweight you should try to find a way to gracefully not accept the invitation for dinner. That seems drastic. But it's probably true that you will be expected to eat more at sudi a dinner. Is the moral here that you should choose your friends among more slender people? Since thats not a matter of nutrition, I wont advise. Its for you to decide. Watch Alcohol Calories At cocktail parties, and with respect to before-dinne- r drinks, you should nurse your drink. Nothing adds calories like alcohol Hold it down. This is really one of the easiest ways to gracefully be at a party yet not join in the kind of activity that will exuberantly add calories that youll later regret I'm not talking about eliminating the joys of a good wine at dinner. Were talking instead about those excess drinks you dont need to enjoy yourself. Could be youd even find a cocktail party 'more interesting. Move Around One way to do this is to visit with more people than usual Dont get trapped in a corner with the same bunch. Move around more. If you do this on purpose, you can also avoid taking so many of those delicious hors d ouvres. You wont offend your hostess if you simply arent there when she offers a fresh new tray full But if you are caught and the tray is there, tempting, in front of you, theres one last trick you can use Take the hors in d ouvres tray from your hostess and offer to help her serve. She'll love you and you're home free. self-defens- e. hostess-to-b- |
