night's board meeting.
Trustee
Frank
Tedeschi
questioned the progress on
building a new hospital if the
Ideal Hospital board of managers
were considering hiring a
consultant to advise in the
running of the present hospital.
Mayor
Joseph
Caldwell
explained the consultant, Earle
Nicklas of Cooperstown, was
hired to advise on the operation
of the present hospital during
the interim period while a new
facility is being built. He added
that how long the interim period
would take could not be
determined
and that he
concurred with the board of
managers thinking in hiring the
consultant.
He also said the concern of
the managers is to provide the
best service within the available
facility.
Tedeschi said that • even
though he could now understand
why the consultant was valuable,
things "look black as far as a
new facility is concerned." He
also commented on the lack of a
timetable for the proposed
Dan Crankshaft
Mileage Is Low;
What Can I Do?
Dear Dan:
My problem a gas mileage, or I should say, the lack of it.
Twelve to 14 miles per gallon is all I can get my year-old car to
produce.
I've had the motor tuned, tried premium fuel, bought highly
advertised additives, even switched brands of gasoline. The car
starts good even in cold weather, and performs well generally. Do
you think I should try a new carburetor?
Charles D., Endkott
Dear Charles:
If your car performs well, you don't need a new carburetor.
What you may need is a new set of driving habits.
Drag racing type starts are murder on gas mileage. Avoid letting
your engine idle uselessly. I've seen people make a 10-minute
fueling stop without shutting off the engine. Try treating the gas
pedal as though it were an egg under it and you don't wish to
break it.
Don't waste your money on gasoline additives regardless of
whit the television commercials say. Don't buy premium gas for
your car if it runs well without knocking on the regular grade.
Premium gas is not automatically a better gas although it is a
different gas.
Your car may or may not need the higher priced fuel.
Regarding the brand of gasoline to buy for best mileage, I doubt
you will find any significant difference.
If you own a medium-to-large size car and it's pretty well
loaded with optional equipment, 12 to 14 miles per gallon may
be about all you can expect. Extras such as power steering, power
brakes, air conditioning and the like all need energy to operate
and the only source of energy your car has is the gasoline you
buy for it.
Regards,
DanC.
If you have a question on car care or service send a letter to

building and complained of the
slowness of planning.
Caldwell said the report from
the New York-Pennsylvania
Health Planning Council had
only been received in June and
he understood it was now being
studied by possible sponsoring
municipalities. He said he
expected County Executive
Edwin L. Crawford to convene a
meeting of such municipalities
to discuss their reactions.
He reassured Tedeschi that
both the village and the Ideal
board were continuing their
efforts towards a new building
"with all due haste that is proper
and fitting the situation."
Trustee Wendell Soltis, who is
also a member of the hospital
board, added that the hospital
was concerned with the yearly
certification by the State
Hospital Review Board. He said
the consultant's study would
allow the hospital to up-date
facilities and also assist in the
planning of a future use for the
present hospital when the new
facility is built.
Caldwell and Soltis agreed
that the hospital is only
interested
in
providing
"short-term, on-going service"
during the interim period.
Tedeschi thanked them for
their explanations and requested
the board be given periodic
reports on the progress for a new
hospital. He said the last report
the board had was the beginning
of the year.
Reconstruction of North
Street is progressing close to
schedule and the section from
Hayes to McKinley Avenues is
expected to be reopened for
traffic in mid-August, village
officials learned.
Other sections of the street
will be done after the
completion of this first segment,
though the section from Lincoln
to Nanticoke Avenues has been
scraped to its concrete base and
will be resurfaced without delay,
officials said.
Albert Korbar, head of the
village light department, said
that despite the inconvenience
suffered by closing the street
completely, he felt the project
time had been cut from six or
eight months (if one side of the
street had been kept open to
traffic) to approximately eight
weeks.
Korbar was congratulated by
the board for his election as
president of the state-wide
Municipal
Electric Utilities
Association. He will take office
in September.
The board also approved a
400 gallon tank for low-lead
gasoline to be installed at the
Mobil service station, East Main
and Vestal Streets.
