By Edith Allen North American Newspaper Alliance NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Amer leans are car-comfort crazy. About the only convenience they have not yet adapted to their cars Is indoor plumbing. ! Emerging dizzy, but undaunted, from a morass of statistics. Carol Lane, travel authority, reported that two-thirds of America’s fam ilies own about 50 million cars, for which they spend more than $2 billion a year in comforting extras. The average American, Miss Lane said, plunks down a minimum of $230. while a known maximum ixceeding $6,000 has been reached. Miss Lane, who is women’s travel director for the Shell Oil Co., covers 50.000 miles a year in vestigating ideas that make fam iily travel more comfortable and enjoyable. She pointed out that the uses we have found for the car's cigarette lighter is typical of how Americans transfer home comforts to their cars. Cooks Travel, Too. For instance, pop can plug his electric razor into the lighter,; baby can have his bottle warmed,! and mom can insert an extension1 flashlight to powder her nose by, while en route. “Today’s cooks are as much at home in their cars as they are in their kitchens,” Miss Lane said. There are portable two-burner; stoves that use all liquid fuels, "six-way” pots, plastic plates, and stainless-steel knife, spoon and fork sets that nestle together as flat as pancakes. Food can be kept fresh with a car refrigerator that works on the battery, or it can be kept hot or cold by covering it with “pillows” filled with a chemical that retains the original temperature. A 300-pounder can picnic com fortably on a collapsible metal seat that wilts away to the size of a small magazine when stored in his car trunk. He can dine on a table that folds like luggage, and keep a fatherly eye on his precious heir, who is safe and con tent in an inflatable crib. The same crib has straps to keep the wee one from rolling off when the car* is in motion. “Press-on” Patches. The convenience of a washing machine is matched on the road with pint-sized laundry equip ment, the expert proclaimed. There are ironing boards that take little room in a week-end case, and washboards that fit on the palm. There are stretchable clotheslines of braided rubber about the Bize of a dog-leash belt that require no clothespins. A man-sized wash can be tucked be tween the strands, and a “pull” holds them secure. There are "press-on” patches for the quick mending of socks, or junior's breeches. Portable irons are built into suitcase han dles. and there are “erasers” guar anteed to remove 60 different kinds of spots from a traveler's clothes. For those who like to keep ac counts on their trip, there is a compact travel notebook, with space for noting expenses, mileage, and the high lights of the day that is in the under-a-dollar class. For a few dollars more, the statis tical minded can use the new meter gadget for the dashboard which indicates fuel consumption, keeps a close check on the condi tion of the engine, and forewarns you when its\tune-up time, ac cording Miss Lane. Pent-Tent on Top. Changing temperatures need never worry the modern driver either, the travel expert pointed out. For a few sawbucks, he can -use a seat that prevents seat heat. It's made of woven plastic strands, with built-in springs, permitting the air to circulate under and be hind the driver. For six century notes, he can have the last word in & car air conditioning system that would make Death Valley s desert seem like the Arctic. The newest wrin kle for winter haters is a heated steering wheel. You can literally live on top of your car with the "Pent-Tent” recently introduced on the mar ket, Miss Lane explained. Col lapsed on top of the car, it adds only a few inches to the car’s height. Expanded, it accommodates three people on regular mat tresses. > You can be miles -from the nearest oasis today, and still have no personal clean-up problems. Miss Lane said. The traveling “personal-repair kit” includes waterless soaps, unbreakable bottles for mouthwash, and re usable plastic towels that are as soft as a baby’s skin. For the safety conscious*there! are mirrors enabling the driver to see ahead of the car ahead for worry-free passing; pigskin gloves i that glow in the dark for hand signaling; long-burning “torch” lamps to place on each side of a disabled ear on dark highways; and belts with reflectors to warn oncoming motorists when you’re fixing a tire after sundow'n. It’s common today for many cars to have back-seat radios, push-button windows, built-in beds, automatic window w’ashers and a two-way telephone, the oil company’s authority proclaimed. Tomorrow has greater comforts in store for us. ! Some makes, or experimental models, already have such items as a push-button aerial, a built-in jack for easy tire changing, and a contraption to enable you to slide into a parking space side-j ways. Also, there soon will be a convertible whose top and win dows automatically go up at the first drop of rain.
