Miss Ava Shaw, bride-elect of
Dr 1\ E. Fish, was honored at
delightfully informal bridge shower*
Friday evening at the home of Mrs^
C R. Miller, 80G South Main street*
Mrs. Miller’s daughter, Mrs. W. E.
Kutzschbach of Taylor, was hostess,
and green and yellow were featured
as the color motif for the decora-
tions and table accessories. Two
tables were arranged for the games
in ^which Miss Lucia Magee won the
high score prize. She presented the
gift to the honoree, and other gifts*
wrapped in green paper and tied
with yellow ribbon, were brought
into the room in a washtub and were
presented to Miss Shaw with due
ceremony.
A delicious ice course was served
to Misses Bina and Lucia Magee*
Christine and Virginia McDannald*
Norma Andrews, Carrie Cross; Mes-
dames Ray B. Dickey, T. E. Shaw,

-.oinpiled by the United States
Weather Bureau, based on records
t ’aching over a long period of

The above map, compiled by the
American Automobile Associa-
tion, shows the approximate date
I jn which freezing weather can be
expected in the various states.
The most important step in
preparing the car for winter is a
thorough overhauling, cleaning,
and tightening of the cooling sys-
tem before the anti-freeze solu-
tion is put in It is a great mis-
take, automotive engineers point
out. merely to flush the cooling
system and put in anti-freeze solu-
tions without giving the system a
thorough overhauling. Few mo-
torists have thb time, knowledge
or equipment to do an adequate
Job. The safest procedure is to
have the work done at a service

should give complete protection/
it should not boil off : It must not
do any damage to the cooling
