A TECHNICAL-LOQK AT FOREIGN ECONOMY mins if 'i 402: . , Alg a Q17 ' 'W 'ian- ' eifiii aghkhr After reading many technical magazines, I can offer you readers my one opinion. You probably will not save much money in the buying EEE upkeep of a foreign car. Here is mechanical proof. Economy cars employ high engine Revolutions Per Minute CR.P.M.'sJ and lean fuel mixtures. This adds up to burned valves. Many foreignneconomyn cars refuse to go forty thousand miles without a valve job. This is a ma- jor factor to consider if you plan to keep the car for more than four years CAverage driving year---ten thousand milesl. Let's take a look at the body of the car. In England, for exam- ple, they do not have the cold that we have in, say, Montana. Thus, the English manufacturer will not put alloy steel in such places as door handles because the car is intended for a warm climate. Fine. But the car is shipped to a new owner in cold Montana. Rest assured the for- eign car shop will make a mint re- placing door handles which have bro- ken off, many of them in the owner's hand. Now comes to mind the matter of safety. Ever stop to think just how safe you are when you're in a car? The sheer smallness of the economy car suggests ten to one odds thatit will be reduced to an accordion in the event of an accident with you inside. Now you say, Uwell, the ob- ject of driving is not to be involv- ed in an accident.H I agree with you But sometimes accidents are unavoid- able. That's why they put erasers on pencils. CAnd bumpers on carsj. Another important thought: Foreign economy cars take a definite place in our nation's economy. They ruin it. So if you want to help your country and also help yourself in the process, don't buy a Foreign UEconomyH Car. George Grassel 55

za 'Q' x, Qu- 1,1 ..hf:: 'v,'45,S' AUTHORITIES volgcga OP!-IQIONNS The banning of further tests of atomic and hydrogen bombs is a ma- jor question facing the United States and Russia. The famed Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Lenies Pauling, thinks that both countries should completely disarm, stop testing,and aim for world peace. On the other hand, Dr.Edward Teller, who is cred ited with the American development of the hydrogen bomb, feels that we should continue testing and at the same time build up our arsenal of atomic and hydrogen bombs. 54 Dr.Pauling favors nuclear test banning because he believes that there is no apparent necessity for the testing as long as there is world peace. He thinks that greater effort should be put into maintain- ing and strengthening this peace through diplomatic channels rather than through a show of force onboth sides. In addition, he maintains that continued testing could be harmful to human life and its hor- rible effects could last for sever- al generations. Dr.Teller strongly believes that we should continue testing. Hefeels that in case of war, we should be prepared to defend ourselves. It is his contention that war can be averted by our side being militari- ly stronger and that military weak- ness will only encourage our enem- ies to attack us. He claims that the effects of atomic testing can be controlled with proper supervi- sion. In any event, he thinks that the risk involved is the lesser evil when compared to our enemy at- tacking us when we are not properly prepared. Dr.Pauling and Dr.Teller are pa- triotic and dedicated Americans and are both well--informed on all as- pects of this subject. They both present good and intelligent rea- sons for their viewpoint, but, nevertheless, arrive at opposite conclusions. This subject is vital to our very existence and each of us will have to form our own opin- ion based on all available informa- tion. Linda Cantor Barbara Lesch , I
