8 THE OSHAWA Times, Monday, October 2, 1961 Oysters Glut B.C. Coast VANCOUVER .(CP) -- Along the rocky British Columbia coastline this is the year of the oyster. < Countless thousands of them are exposed at low tide on almost every rocky beach. And except for those grown on reg- istered oyster beds, they are free for the taking. Fisheries officials say eating- size oysters are so plentiful this year because the hot summer of 1968 raised sea temperatures and promoted spawning. Al- though at three years of age they are rather small -- 1963 would see them in their prime --many will be harvested by boaters and beachcombers. The federal food and drug directorate, which makes fre- quent toxicity checks, says that except for an area near Camp- bell River on Vancouver Island there is no sign of poisonous oysters. They warn, however, that oysters should be avoided from areas around cities, such as Vancouver, because of possi- ble contamination from sewage. The "red tide" infestation of 1957, caused by a certain type of plankton, has not reappeared, officials sav. British Columbia used to im-| port its oysters from Japan. Professional growers still im- port seed from Japan to aid local propagation. Student Hopes | To Aid Africa MONTREAL (CP) -- Michele Jodoin, slim, dark-eyed and 22, has gone to Senegal to work on a thesis and, she hopes, help Africa. "lI am going to write my master's thesis on economic geography," she said. "I will have to do some original work for it which, I hope, will help the country eventually." Michele, who majored in geo- graphy and also studied geology at McGill University, has a year's scholarship at University of Dakar. "I seem to feel a responsi- bility towards these people," she says of the Africans. "They have had riches grasped from them and received nothing in return." Miss Jodoin approves of the Peace Corps and of Operation Crossroads Africa--"they show we are aware of these things." After consideration she added: "I hope they don't just mean we are afraid of these people, or afraid that others will get there first." She believes the West is not making the most of its wealth. "The technical advantages we enjoy should free people . . . so they can advance intellectually. But many just spend their time looking at television." Such idleness won't do for Michele. She has mapped out a future for herself which includes study of the economies of under- developed countries for her doctorate and then possibly service with the United Nations. Life Attracted By Breakwater TSAWWASSEN, B.C. (CP)-- Living things of the sea have wasted no time in adopting a two-mile jetty built two years ago by the British Columbia highways department for its new ferry service between the mainland and Vancouver Island. A 30-man group of naturalists from Victoria counted 48 species of plant life and 27 varieties of sea creatures during a recent examination of the structure, 20 miles south of Vancouver. Different plants and creatures have adopted different types of gravel used in the jetty, said Freeman King, leader of the party. Such dry land plants as great mullion, evening primrose and wild tomato also were identified on the breakwater, as well as Douglas fir seedlings, shrubs and clovers. Sea creatures spotted by the visitors included hermit crabs, mussels, welks, limpets, sea snails, cockles, tiny sea fleas, sowbugs and small shrimps. Under the rocks several types of sea worms and red sea spiders already are at work. The Ladder of Life Is Full of Splinters, But we never realize it until we begin to slide down.

NORTH OSHAWA, ONTARIO I Anti-freeze loss like this is a great m IRONCLAD GUARANTEE: All Shell stations are now authorized to give their customers this remarkable new anti-freeze guarantee: "Freerefill if: Shellzone leaks away- 'no matter how you lose it" Once your car's cooling system has been okayed at a Shell station and Shellzone anti-freeze installed --that's it. If the anti-freeze leaks or loses its strength before next May 1st, it will be replaced without charge. Any Shell station in Canada or the United States will do the job. HE SHELLZONE GUARANTEE is ironclad. Once a Shell serviceman has inspected your car's cooling system and refilled with fresh Shellzone, you won't spend a cent more on anti-freeze all winter long. If you lose Shellzone anti-freeze for any cause under the sun, Shell will replace it free. There are no exceptions. A leak, mali- cious damage, a faulty part, evaporation -- all are included. This remarkable pledge will be honoured at any Shell station in Canada or the United States--right up to next May. Ist. The disadvantages of pouring your own People who pour in anti-freeze for themselves have no such guarantee against added ex- pense. They have to reconcile themselves to other disadvantages, too. First, -there's the risk of leakage--which can take place under conditions that might surprise you. Virtually all major brands of anti-freeze have a lower surface tension than water. As a result, anti-freeze can sometimes seep out through tiny holes and cracks that are absolutely leakproof when you have plain water in your cooling system, Complete cooling system check Before a Shell service man puts in your anti- freeze, he checks the entire system for poten- tial leaks. He checks hoses, clamps, plugs, drain cocks, water pump, radiator. Eleven points in all, including every connection. Not a drop of Shellzone goes in until he's sure it won't leak out. The overdose danger Here's another surprising fact. Did you know that roo much anti-freeze can have the same effect as roo little? Here's what happens when you begin to add anti-freeze. As you would expect, at first the freezing point of the mix- ture goes down. But as you pour in more anti-freeze, the freezing point begins to come back up. i If you went so far as to fill your radiator with nothing but anti-freeze, you'd be pro- tected no lower than abour 4 degrees below zero. The correct combination of Shellzone and water can protect you down to minus 62°F. When you go to your Shell dealer, you will receive the exact amount of Shellzone needed to protect you down to the temperature you specify. The Shell man looks up the capacity of your car's cooling system (this varies from make to make, model to model, and year to year.) Then he does something you might forget. He includes the water capacity of your heater in his calculations. After he's poured in the right amount of Shellzone, he double-checks with a hydrometer. That's how he can be sure you have the protection you need. Shellzone guarantee Finally, your Shell dealer fills out the Shell- zone guarantee and hands it to you. He can give you this ironclad guarantee because he knows the job has been done properly. And because Shdllzone is a powerfully effective anti-freeze, with potent additives that pre- vent rust, corrosion, scale formation and foaming, Protect your car these seven ways The seven tips given here all deal with common causes of winter trouble. To avoid these ills and expenses, have all seven checked by your Shell dealer. And you'd be wise to do it early. In these more leisurely Fall days before the frost, he has extra time to fuss, check--and double check. Tip #1--check plugs and points. A car with faulty points or plugs is difficult to start in winter. A strong, precisely-timed spark is vital in cold weather. Your Shell dealer can quickly have your points and plugs put in top condition. Tip §2--check battery. For quick starts, your battery must turn the engine over briskly. If the engine reacts sluggishly when you press the starter, the spark is feeble and the gas mix- ture is compressed too slowly. Result--poor starting. Remember--battery must be fully charged, terminals clean connections tight and leads in good condition. Tip #3--check windshield wipers. Worn wiper blades slide sloppily over a windshield--leave behind a film of ice, slush, oil or dirt. This is particularly hazardous after nightfall, when a lot of winter driving is done. Tip H4--use multigrade oil. Shell X-100 Pre- mium Motor Oil will reduce the strain on your battery by letting the engine turnover quickly on frigid mornings. This is because it is multi- grade--effectively resists undue thickening in cold weather or thinning out in a hot engine. Tip §5--have your carburetor checked. For ex ample, a properly-set choke can make all the difference in how your car starts and runs-- and how much gas it uses. Another point-- many engines run more smoothly in winter when their idling speed 'is increased. Tip #6--have your car polished. A polish job will protect your car against its arch enemy-- road salt. Afterwards, have it washed regularly to preserve the finish. Tip #7--have your tires checked. Your Shell dealer will inspect your tires for cuts, bulges and wear. Have snow tires fitted, and you'll be all ready for winter. The deeper, wider tread on snow tires often makes the difference be- tween wheelspin and traction on slush or snow. 101100000 SHELL-3561A TOIT NT ---- g----"
