Women At The Wheel by NANCY MORTON With more and more women behind the wheels of the nation's autos—they should know about basic maintenance. Spring cleaning applies to the car as well as the house. A good washing and waxing will remove winter's grime—so damaging to finish and chrome. Nothing appeals to road wolves more than a pretty gal stranded with a flat tire. It's wise to have tires checked frequently and rotated every 5,000 miles. Cooling System Maintenance Week—May 16 through 22—will remind the gals it's time to remove winter-worn anti-freeze and add fresh rust inhibitor and water to the cooling system, insuring trouble-free warm weather driving.

Deadliest Bite Buena Park Snake Victim Recovering Kenneth Earnest, 22, of Buena Park, bitten ten days ago by the world's deadliest snake, was out of his iron lung today and making "wonderful progress" toward recovery. Shortly after Earnest, son of the owner of a reptile farm on La Palma Ave., was struck by an Australian tiger snake, doctors only gave him a 50-50 chance of surviving. The bite is usually fatal within four days, causing paralysis to the respiratory and muscular systems. Even after he began to recover it was feared he might have to spend much of the remainder of his life in an iron lung because tests showed damage to muscles and nerves. His recovery has been termed as miraculous. Gerontologist Dr. M. B. Linden To Give Address At CC Luncheon ORANGE — Dr. Maurice B.
