beating with considerable wear to its moving parts distributor points have made 112 million contacts every spark ng has fired ii million hisrli voltage sparks the water pump has pumped 100000 gallons of water the fuel pump 700 gallons of gas and each valve has opened anil closed ii million times that is why your engine needs a complete tuneup after this mileage to restore original performance keep fuel economy at maximum and guard against jpocjh engine failure on the road js- o t effective u linkup must ih performed by a trained mechanic with ihe best equipment available he must usually replace

obviously short cuts all the way down to a quick check of points and plugs can be made by a garage interested only in turning out a bargain priced job but this kind of job is no bargain it is throwing

winds increased in velocity and by the time they reached new york states most modern highway visihily was al most negligible the four- lane super highway was open with the traffic flow ing about 4015 miles per hour the first indication mr and mrs duncan had that there was trouble was a man standing on the side of the road with flares traffic was reduced to a crawl and they were warned of an ac cident a short distance a- hcad they learned that the ac cident involved a tractor trailer two buses and more than 30 cars the pileup oc curred about 430 sunday afternoon just east of the small city of batavia a short while after sitting behind the massive smash- up a state police trooper checked their car for injur ies he asked them if they had plenty of gas we just had it filled tip mrs duncan said and that was one stroke of good luck that accented the harrowing experience the duncans 1964 comet was left in an idling posi tion from the time of the accident until after dark fumes from their own and other cars gave mrs dun can a terrible headache the state troopers who the couple praised for their heroic efforts returned to their car and led them from the eastbound to the westbound lane of traffic once facing the way they had come some four hours earlier mr duncan turned off the engine in an effort to save gas the car was off the brake was on and it was in park he said and yet mrs

again mr duncan once more turned oft the engine from a car stalled in front of the duncans a cou ple from buffalo asked for shelter in the comet their car had stopped and with out the heater they were freezing however things werent much better in the duncan vehicle mr duncan after several attempts could not get his car going snow had clogged the engine the couple from buffalo desert ed a short while later in the hope of getting a ride to their home and leaving the car on the thruway where the car had stalled was only one mile from a thruway exit mr duncan left the car in an effort to clean out the snow from the engine as soon as he stepped from the shelter of the automobile mrs duncan lost sight of him i thought he was lost she said at one oclock monday morning mr and mrs duncan were still trapped clearing the snow had en abled the engine to catch a- gain so they did have heat i really thought i was going to die she said i felt that the snow would just cover the car and wed never
