POOL CUE:

RELATED CONTENT

The "Hiloat" is an emergency flotation device that stores handily in a tiny space. But simply press a lever and throw the capped cylinder to a swimmer in dis tress . . . and—within 20 seconds after it hits the water—a full-sized life preserver inflates, while the mushroom-shaped top acts as a sea anchor to decrease drift. Once the crisis is over, you can replace the nontoxic, nonflammable Freon gas canister to ready the Hiloat for reuse. Hiloat Manufacturing Company (Dept. ME, 2434 N. 28th Dr., Phoenix, Ariz. 85029) will send you the unusual life buoy, postpaid, for $19.95 . . . or answer your further inquiries.

COOL IT

Here's a way to unsizzle your car this summer, without turning on the gas devouring air conditioner: Dieterich International, Inc. (Dept. ME, P.O. Box 3323, Vero Beach, Fla. 32960) can fix you up with "Coolux" sun and privacy shades to fit the side and rear windows of almost any car, truck, or van . . . and even those of boat and aircraft cabins. The perforated vinyl material should filter out up to 80% of ol' Sol's ferocity—and lessen the glare from snow or headlights—yet does not limit the view from inside the vehicle. Coolux sizes and varieties range from a mini-portable model that attaches to side windows with suction cups ($5.95 postpaid) . . . to a rear window heat-buster that pulls up over the glass from its mounting and retracts out of sight when not in use ($30.50). Dieterich will send you complete details on request.
