LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Gentlemen:
Will you please renew my
subscription for another year.
I am always anxious to get
the Wylie paper each week as
1 have a lot of relatives still
living there and also just a
very few of the older people
that I knew when I lived
there, there are just a very
few of them left. I just can't
say how many years I have
been reading the Wylie paper
but it is a lot of them, my Dad
& Mother always were
subscribers to the paper
when Mr. Tom W. Perkins
was editor of it, 1 rather think
that Mr. Perkins was the first
editor of the Wylie paper 1
think I paid my first
subscription to Mr. J.B
Baskett after I married and
my wife and I rented 3 rooms
from Aunt Sis Bowman and
lived there until we could find
us a house to live in, and just
think we paid the enormous
sum of $3.00 per month rent.
Thai was 66 years ago last
November 14th. We are still
happy, healthy and enjoying
life.
Yours very truly,
Frank A. Allen
Story Hour, our special
program for the early reader
(ages 4 to 7), will start up
again this week, after a bit of
"recess” for my annual
leave. The time has been
changed to allow more
school-age kids to attend:
Story Hour will be at 2:00 on
Saturday afternoons, begin-
ning with February 3. This
Saturday at two. Library Aide
Kristin Bell will be helping
our crowd to write their own
books - about themselves.
There will also be two stories
to listen to. We plan to really
rev up Story Hour in ’79,
using our newly acquired
stero and overhead projector,
along with more frequent use
of our puppet theatre and
more audience participation.
Next Saturday, February 10,
Miss Bell will make her debut
as a puppeteer. The following
Saturday, the 17th, we will
"air” an eerie episode of that)
superhero of old-time radio,
"The Shadow”. So, kids of
Collin County, come join the
fun at 2:00 each Saturday -
Story Hour rides again!

THE WYLIE NEWS
Facts from a pro on driving to survive.
Q. Is it important to pay attention to any un-
usual sounds your car might suddenly make?
W hat kinds of sounds should I listen for?—
H.T., Austin.
A. It is definitely important to listen to the sounds
your car makes, from both a safety and a money-
savings (preventive maintenance) point of view. Next
month, this column will begin a series which will
explore this subject further. Bui for right now. listen
for squealing when braking. It might mean your
brakes need relining. Or, for disc brakes, a very
unusual squealing might indicate a problem. If the ear
squeals as you turn the steering wheel, it might be
wise to check the steering belt Both of these reasons
for "squealing" could signal dangerous repair needs.
And especially during winter months, listen for an
uneven rumbling in your exhaust system. A hole in
your muffler or tailpipe could cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Q. We are always hearing about how far we
should or should not follow the car in front of
us? What do you sav?—Worried, Houston.
A. A standard answer is at least one ear length for
every 10 miles per hour Recently, a major oil com-
pany has promoted the "two second rule"—which
means you should allow a two second interval be-
tween your car and the ear ahead of you. Select an
object on the roadside and count the time it takes you
to reach it after ihe car ahead of you has reached it
"One thousand and one. one thousand and two.”
If you reach the object before "one thousand and
two" you are definitely following too closely. Alright
for ideal conditions. At night or in bad weather, you
should obviously allow more distance.
