Mountain Echoes ...
most of the time, this procedure was
repeated several times before the car got
going. Broken arms from the kick of the
crank were an almost common occur
rence.
The car had three pedals. One was the
starting gear, one was the high gear, and
the other was reverse. This middle pedal
was used more for brakes than it was for
backing up. The timer, as I remember,
seemed to be the most important part of
the motor. When the thing stopped runn
ing, the timer was first checked. Someone
gave a tap on the box with a wrench; and
when this didn’t work, the top was remov
ed and somebody spit in the box that held
the timer. Coils under the dash were
another important thing to the motor.
The driver would adjust, or think he had;
and if this didn’t help the motor get go
ing, he would do what everyone else did:
He let her cool for a while.
Letters To The Editor
Beirut Bombing Means Funding Needed
Dear Editor:
The new outbreak of violence in Lebanon
has claimed the lives of thousands of victims
while leaving countless more homeless,
without access to even the most basic
necessities of life. The International Red
Cross estimates that over 300,000 are
homeless; others put the figure closer to one
half million.
In the rural areas, whole communities have
fled, many of them huddling on open beaches,
scavenging for food and water. Beirut itself is
engulfed in fear, death and destruction. Emp
ty streets and shuttered shops stand amid the
unremitting shelling. Stunned and grieving
families stretch from one end of this tiny coun
try to the other.
And, as always, it is the children who are
the most vulnerable. Moving from place to
place looking for what might temporarily be
safe shelter, sleeping on open staircases or in
empty fields — lacking food, clean water or a
change of clothes, the toll of young lives con
tinues to mount.
Save the Children, the international child
assistance agency that has been working in
Lebanon for over 25 years, is providing

couldn’'t agree more —
We canusually insute your house, furnishings, out buildings,
mobile home or business at a big saving to you. Why?
Because:
* We are a Co-op Mutual Co.
* We are exempt from all taxes and licenses.
« We are a non-profit association and prohibited by state laws
from making a profit.
« We have no agents — so you pay no agent’s commission.
» You deal directly with an officer of the company. You deal
with homefolk in buying t?mur insurance and payln? claims.
*We are the largest and oldest Farmers Mutual in Georgia,
organized in 1892 and insuring property in our area ever since.

A knock up front caused the driver grave
