Tips for Saving Your Tyres
Akron, Ohio, Aug. To conserve tyres P. W. Litchfield, rubber mag- late, suggested today that motorists: 1. Avoid speeda over 50 miles ap tyres wear out 62 per cent hours; faster at 70 than st 50.
2. Check air pressure weekly;
weare out rubber.
pressure either too low or too high
3. Have frequent inspections of brake adjustments and wheel align- ment to avoid "dragging" tyres.
4. Rolate tyres every 2,000 to 3,000 miles--switch the left front to the
right rear, ele.
5. Retread those which have good! sidewalls but worn treads.
"There will be enough tyres for those who need them if everybody helps and something unforseen does not develop," Mr Litchfield said.
Your memory must be at fault, it is $26,376. Perhaps you have never received the money, is that it?—I cannot remember.
You cannot remember whether you have received this money or not?- So far as I can remember, I think it was over $10,000 but not as much. Not Fully Paid
You do not know what happened | to the other $18,000?-1 am not yet fully paid, some money is still ow- ing to me.
