THREE EASY STEPS TO
IMPROVED LIGHTING
y For best light, get lamps
equipped with a diffus-
ing bowl; shades with a
white lining.
Use 150-watt bulbs in
table lamps; 300 watt
bulbs in floor lamps.
^Replace blackened
bulbs. Cle^n reflectors,
bulbs and shades often.

or infection since only the top
layer of skin is burned. Butter
salve applied
gently to the burns will usually
relieve the pain and a loose
bandage over; the burn will cut
down on any possible infection.
Second degree burns are the
kind where blisters form and
third degree burns are those
that have destroyed several lay-
ers of skin. Since the skin,
which forms a protective layer
for the body, is. destroyed to
some extent in these two kinds
of burns, it is easy for the
germs to grow there and cause
infections.
Second and third degree
burns that cover 10 per cent of
the body are considered major
injuries and should receive
medical attention as soon as
possible. If medical attention is
not immediately available, wet
packs may be applied to the
burned area. You mix three
tablespoons of< baking soda or
Epsom salts with ,a quart of
warm tap water and dip clean
strips of cloth into the liquid;
place that over the burns and
cover the whole area with dry,
clean towels.
Burns that cover a large por-
tion of the body are called mas-
sive burns, and the person
should be wrapped in a large
clean sheet, covered with as
much other wrapping as the
weather demands, and taken to a
hospital as quickly as possible.

deal when the cold winds put a

activities. And even such out-
door fun as you do seek is quite

■balmy fall days.
Fires, outdoors and indoors,
are the biggest change in living
habits during the winter and
fires can also be one of the big-
gest threats to health. A fire is
one example of• the. idea that a
little bit of a good thing in its
proper place is a blessing where-
as too much of a good thing in
the wrong place is a great dan-
ger.
From infancy to old age,
playing with fire is one of life’s
most dangerous habits, whether
I the fire be in a cooking- stove,
■ heater, camp fire or just on the
■knd of a match. There are few
JNJrocidents that leave deeper
scars than those caused by fire,
affecting not only the person
• burned but also those who love
-<■ him. Injuries from fires are
’greatest during the month of
December.
Burns are classified medical-
ly as first, second and third de-
gree burns. First degree burns
i are those in which the skin is

QjtWi tyuendltf. Zlecbtic Oampxauf,
If the person is conscious, your
doctor may advise you to give
him a glass of salt water en-
route to the hospital.
There is a sitate of shock that
accompanies Dad burns that
cover a lot of the body. The
body loses a lot of plasma, that
yellowish salty part of the blood
when burns scar the skin, and
salt water, if your doctor ad-
vises it, may help replace some
of the plasma until real blood
plasma can be given aft the hos-
pital.
In minor burns, the greatest
danger lies in infection. In ma-
jor burns1, there is always dan-
ger of infection and also dan-
ger to the person in a sitate of
shock.
Fire is essential to life but
all precautions must be observ-
ed to keep fire in its place.
Jusft like the family car. Life
is much easier with an automo-
bile but if that ear isn’t hand-
led properly it can be a robber
of life. Added to the year-round
hazards of an automobile are
the winter risks involved in
starting the ear in a closed gar-
age and riding in the car with
all windows up.
That air coming out of the
exhaust pipe of your car con-
tains carbon monoxide gas, a
deadly poisono. In an open
place it is quickly thinned out
in the air and is made harm-
less. In a closed place, however,
it accumulates and when breath-
ed into the lungs it causes suf-
focation. If all the windows of
the car are up and no air is
coming into the car, that carbon
monoxide gas may accumulate
in the car without your know-
ledge. It takes just a little cir-
culation of air to make the
odorless gas become harmless.
Suffocation by carbon mon-
oxide poisoning is one kind of
asphyxiation and the automo-
bile is not the only source of
the poisonous gas. Without pro-
per ventilation, the gas heaters
in the home can cause asphyxia-
tion . if they are not properly
adjusted. Clogged chimneys and
improperly operated dampers
with an open fire can cause
enough caribou monoxide to be
pushed back into a tightly clos-
ed room to be a danger.
So you want adequte ventila-
tion without draftiness to ward
off the threat of asphyxiation,
whether you’re at home or in
the car during the cold winter
months. It’s as simple as that.

mite the ear to accelerate more
quickly and at the same time
assists in braking, a safety fac-
tor and a marked contribution
to longer brake life.
In the 1 to 4, or cruising
range, most driving is done in
the 4th gear speed which per-
mits full economy service of the
new 3.08 to 1 rear axle. This
axle ratio is a 15 percent lower
reduction than the previous 3.64
to 1 which gives corresponding
reduction in engine revolutions
per mile of travel. Quieter
operation and improved fuel
economy on the highway are
among the results.
The gear shift indicator in
the new cars is so designed that
the driver will have no diffi-
culty in making his selection of
either range. The drive (DR)
range is split into two positions
—highway range is to the left
of DR and the city range is to'
the right. The change from one
driving range to the other may
be effected without reference to
the speed of the car.
MISSING COUNTY SCRIP
FINALLY SHOWS UP
Edinburg — Back in 1925
Hidalgo county issued some pav-
ing warrants. Some years later
they were called in when the
county voted1 refunding bond*.
Pontiac, Michigan—Plans for
a nation wide demonstration
driving program by Pontiac
dealers, in which the company’s
1952 models will be made avail-
able for public-testing of the
new Dual-Range driving fea-
tures, were announced today by
L. W. Ward, Pontiac general
sales manager.
It is expected that the new
program will put Pontiacs for
trial purposes into the hands of
more than a million drivers
during the next three months
and impart valuable first-hand
knowledge of the unusual per-
formance characteristics of the
new cars, Ward said.
The executive said that the
decision to take this means of
acquainting drivers with the
new engineering features of the
car has resulted from numerous
inquiries both from professional
test drivers and an interested
public who want to get behind
the wheel.
With the announcement of
One of the old certificates fail-
ed to show up at that time, and.
for the past 19 years the county
has been holding $1,000 plus?
interest- amounting to $180,.
waiting for the owner of the
old warrant to claim it. Finally-
last week a New Jersey man .
sent in the missing warrant.' He
was somewhat disappointed to-
learn that he could not collect
interest subsequent, which wouldt
have amount to $1,380.

the new cars just completed in
dealer show rooms across the
country, hundreds of thousands
have inspected the models and
in many cases, have either driv-
en them or expressed the wish
to do so,” Ward said. “Pontiac
is especially a focal point this
year because of the new engi-
neering developments that have
given this make “Dual-Range”
driving through the use of high-
er compression engines, new
Dual-Range Hydra Matic trans-
mission and an economy rear
axle gear ratio.”
The executive explained that
these elements comprise an en-
tirely new Pontiac power train
which permits maximum flexi-
bility and economy in perform-
ance from congested city traffic
to open country driving.
“During the initial showing
of the ears, these features came
in for more than average atten-
tion and dealers reported that
their sales staffs were kept
busy answering questions, ’ ’
Ward said. “I know of no re-
ent mechanical development
that has caused greater interest
or contributed so much to the
desire of the public to try them
out. ’ ’
Unique unit in the power
train, according to the descrip-
tion currently released by the
manufacturer, is the Dual-
Range Hydra-Matic drive, which
provides the owner of the 1952
models with two completely op-
tional driving ranges, each hav-
ing individual characteristics
which make it suitable for two
different classes of driving con-
ditions.
For economical performance
in country and' boulevard driv-
ing, the automatic transmission
utilizes the usual 1st, 2nd and
3rd and 4th -gear1 speed ranges.
For driving in congested traf-
fic or montainous territory a
second range is provided utiliz-
ing a new 1st, 2nd and 3rd
combination particularly adapt-
ed for these driving conditions.
P ontiac engineers explain
that use of the 1-2-3 range gives
greater flexibility in normal city
traffic, plus engine braking in
mountains or on steep hills, and
because of the greater reduction
in the gear box allows for a
lower ratio rear axle. This per-f
