Larry Bertram, automotive instructor, says that one bad spark plug in your V-8 engine can cost ten percent less in gas mileage driving at 30 mph. Along with locating engine problems in autos driven by Palomar students, Bertram, other auto tech instructors and students plan to set up a diagnostic lane similar to that operated by the California Highway Patrol on Wednesday and Thursday, December 4 and 5. Engine and exhaust analyzers set up on the main entrance road each day will determine the need for engine tune-up, excessive engine emissions and register the amount of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide your car spews into North County. Open from 7:15a.m. each day until 4 p.m., the analysis will provide each driver with a registered condition of his or her car engine. Bertram also states that one bad plug at 40 mph costs the hapless driver as much as 34 percent mileage less and jumps gas consumption tremendously.

Falling two days after the anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy 11 years ago , Stanford has expressed the special significance this performance bears. "Requiem" was performed as part of the funeral service for the late President. "Although this performance ofthe 'Requiem' is not dedicated to the memory of Kennedy, his assassination is still remembered with a poignancy at this time of year. The 'Requiem' is a most profound expression. It presents an opportunity for all who hear to reflect on our place in the cosmos," said Stanford. The Palomar Chorale has been in existence since the fall of 1966. It is offered as an evening class and is made up of talented people from the community who enjoy singing major oratorio compositions. At least one major performance is presented each semester.

Christmas season, with its spirit of giving, is rapidly approaching and the San Marcos Junior Women's Club is counting on local students to help with their second annual Adopt-A-Family drive. Thirty five needy families are selected by the Richmar School District Nurse to receive baskets of food and small gifts. Elementary and high school students are contributing canned goods, and the college students are being asked to drop their change into canisters to provide meat certificates for the baskets. Canisters can be found in the coffee shop, the cafeteria cashier and the library from now until December 9. "Approximately $300 is needed for the meat certificates," explained Marilyn Cook, amenities chairman, "so if each student could just drop the change from their lunch it would be a big help." Suzanne Fitspatrick, Americanism chairman, is coordinating the 1974 Adopt-A-Family drive.
