':MOTORING with Mike Burgess 5 JAM RACING ENTERPRISES - OSHAWA It was announced recently by Jam Racing Enterprises that they are discontinuing their racing program with the Vega 2300 racing car because of "lack of funds" and complete disinterest of area General Motors people." The following statement was released by Don Jeyes, local racing driver and car builder, who heads up JRE's publicity and racing activities as well as being the principal driver for the company's Vega 2300 in the Ontario Regional series and the Bulova 2.5 Sedan series. "We have decided to bring to a halt the outflow of a great deal of money into a project that to date has for us been next to disastrous. We entered into our program on the advice of certain ranking G M people who assured us of a great deal of help in the engineering technicalities as well as an availability of parts to make the project feasible. This help has evaporated and, at present, any mention of racing plans for a Vega brings instant and complete silence. The only bright light in the whole situation is from a local dealer, 'Nurse Chev - Olds', and we cannot thank Bill Nurse and his men in the Parts and Service Departments enough. We have a rather small company and we found that our project was constantly short of money because we had to go to small independent U S companies to get the special parts needed. This was in spite of verbal com- mitments from G M people that we would get all the help we needed. This situation coupled with the rid- iculous weight factor imposed by the CASC governing body made it stupid to continue since our competition has more horsepower and can legally weigh up to 850 pounds less. If, in the near future, an engine capable of developing competitive horsepower is made available, we may get back into competition.' Don Jeye s, 32, before coming to JRE in late 1970, was active in racing in Ontario and Quebec and some parts of the U S. He began racing in 1962 in Formula Cars. Since then he has driven a variety of cars but has never received National recognition because funds were not available to enter the National Championship Series. As of this date he is going into semi - retirement until such time as it is financially possible to return to racing. He is still going to remain connected with racing in Ontario, but would not elaborate further. WHITBY FREE PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9. 1973, PAGE 5 Information from the Ontario Safety League -THE GOOD DRIVER FIRST ON THE SCENE You're driving home when suddenly it happens. car ahead seems to lose control. Tires scream. leaves the road and hits a tree. Silence. The It What do you do when you are the first on the scene? There are no rules, because every crash is different. The Ontario Safety League offers the following facts to guide you. 1) Stop immediately. Park far enough away from the crash scene to protect it. Turn off ignition of damaged car immediately. Flag down the first approaching cars and ask the drivers to assist in warning other traffic from both directions. 2) Help the victims. Administer first aid if qualified. Do not move seriously injured people unless absolutely necessary. Rescue experts estimate that 80 percent of the people injured in cars are pulled out by frantic rescuers -- and many are made worse, or even killed. If they are lying on the road, leave them there and take steps to guard them from traffic. 3) Hail passing cars and send them in opposite directions to find telephones and cali the police. Remember, police say that if only one car is sent, its driver may go miles, find no phone and give up. 4) Often accident victims appear to be trapped when they are merely held by a foot twisted under a seat. If the driver is trapped between the steering wheel and his seat, pressure can often be eased by releasing the seat catch and gently inching the seat back. 5) Don't attempt to lift a car. Thousands of people get hurt ail over again because motorists try to lift cars, find they can't and let the car fall back. 6) If you are not skilled at first aid, you can render the following assistance white waiting for the ambulance: Cover the injured to keep them warm. Loosen collars, ties, belts, without tugging, to help them breathe easier. Keep the victim's head to one side if he is lying on his back. Slow heavy bleeding by pressing a folded pad of the cleanest cloth available firmly over the wounds. Don't press on a head wound ... the skull may be fractured. Talk to the injured. Never tell them anyone else has been killed or is badly hurt, say help is on the way. Rescue officers say even hold their hands. "A firm handgrip seems to give them courage." Send someone to find boards on which trained first - aiders can carry victims flat should the ambulance not arrive, and locate a truck on which the victims can be carried 1 flat if transportation is needed. About one car in seven catches fire in a crash. If fire doesn't start right away, it will rarely start afterward. If you notice smoldering under the hood or dashboard, don't panic. Disconnect the battery (be careful not to let the hot wire hit metal and cause sparks), locate the fire and attack it with a fire extinguisher, dirt or a blanket. When you telephone the Police to report a traffic accident they will usually ask the following basic quest- ions: Location, are there any injuries, is an ambulance required, your name and address. OTHER DRIVERS The Ontario Safety League suggests that, if you are driving past an accident, try to maintain speed, don't promote accidents by slowing down to gawk. lips From the Family Safety Department of the Ontario Safety League DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION CAM OCCUR FROM WITHIN The resurgence of inciden- ts involving children shut in freezers, discarded refrigerat- ors and even clothes dryers prompts the Ontario Safety League to issue an emergen- cy warning to all parents about one of the most at- rocious and terrifying exper- iences a child may encounter -..suffocation. In Canada, there is an average of 1 to 3 deaths of this type yearly, in spite of the fact that for the last 16 years Canadian - built refrigerators and freezers have been equipped with a safety release, either of the magnetic or mechanical c- atch type. - Each is pressure sensitive. However, most of the refrigerators and freezers being discarded are several years old and may not have this quick release mechanisn. You must aiso bear in mind that a child suddenly en- trapped in the dark enclosure may panic andmiot have the presence of mind to activate the release mechanism. In fact, he may not even know that an escape route exists, let alone how to use it. A child's imagination can turn the abandoned unit into a hide - out, rocket ship or play house. With the door shut the dream vanishes and death from suffocation can occur within inIukes. It's up to you to protect your child from himself. Never dispose of or store any unused appliance with- out first removing the door or latch. It this is not possible, chain or wire the door shut. Contact your local works department to arrange for final disposal of the unit. You must also protect your child from others. Instruct him on the ope ation of quick release mech- anisms, emphasizing that ma- ny units, due to age, will not have these features and are literally death traps. Most importantly, educate your child to the hazards of playing around unused ap- pliances and encourage the reporting of any abandoned unit. The Ontario Safety Leag- ue reminds Ontario residents that it is illegal in many municipalities for anyone to leave an unused large applia- nce without first securing the door or removing it. In response to a recent incident North York Mayor Mel Last- man suggestedthat Council increase the fine from $50. to $1,000, the maximum per- mitted under Ontario Law.
