• / i Like so many other cru-
r 'rial devices, your ear’s
J / windshield wipers are most
' likely to fail just when you
need theni most. During the
winter months, windshield
/ wipers have to fight snow,
ice, slush, and road salt, as
well as tile usual rain,

: vision is extra important,

ditions So now is the time
. *to cheek your wiper blades
E carefully, and to replace
C them if they're not in per-
Jj feet condition.
How should they be
> checked? And what are the
signs that a wiper blade
isn't up to par?
The best time to check
your blades is during a
rainstorm, or just after-
f wards, when there’s dirty
water on the roads. Or you
can check them by using
your windshield washer or
as you go through a car-
wash. Or even by having
someone spray water on.
your windshield with a hose.
Whenever you choose to
test your wipers, you should
be sure to check them at all
wiper-speed rates they can
be set for And also be sure
to check for all of the fol-
lowing signs of malfunc-
tioning t ;
Streaking — arcs Of un-
wiped moisture within the
wiping area;

Hazing — a thin, hard-to-
see-through film covering
most or all of the wiping
area even after the blade
has just wiped';

Hopping — a jumpy mo-
tion, accompanied by a
"chattering” noise as the
blade sweeps across the
windshield, with some areas
left unwiped;

Scalloping—a ragged out-
er edge in the wiping pat-
tern;
er assemblies as is neces-
sary to eliminate the prob-
lem. In many cases, all
that’s needed is new squee-
gees (the rubber strips that
actually wipe the wind-
shield). Try replacing the
squeegees first, and if this
doesn’t solve the problem,
replace the entire wiper-
blade assemblies.
When you do replace all
or part of your wiper blades,
replace both at the same
time; if one is “shot,” the
other Is usually about to
More Vehicles
Boosting Need
For Mechanics
Five years from now there
will be a need for at least
100.000 more mechanics be-
yond the approximately
600.000 we have now. With
more than 120,000,000 cars
expected on the roads in 5
years, that is a conservative
estimate.-
With car population
growing at the rate of 3.4
million a year, there is now
only one mechanic for each
170 vehicles. The ideal is
one for each 80 cars.
Young people apparently
do not understand the earn-
ings and opportunities in
the Job. Average hourly
earnings of mechanics in
Detroit are now $6.13, with
some making much more.
$25,000 a year is not un-
usual.
No auto mechanic will
ever be out of work, says the
industry, and when “young
people" are urged to get in,
the ladies are not excluded.
give up, as well. And good
vision is too important to
risk for a few dollars.
One final tip. If you are
replacing your wiper blades,
consider the new, molded
polycarbonate variety. They
last longer than the old
metal type, and cut down
on glare and rattle, as well.
