A Slippery Subject *Close cals, like sliding through an intersection and narrowly missing a delivery truck can 6e terrifying winter driving experiences. It coildn't happen to you, you say, because you have snow tires on. B~ut have you checked those tàïc!s recently for wear or damàage?. BF. Goodrich Canada Limited tire engineers recommend that tires with less than 1/16 inch of read thickness should B.F. Goodrich Canada Limited tire engineers recom- ment that tires with Iess than 1 /16 inch of tread thickness- should be replaced. What does 1/16 of tread rubber look like? Take a new Canadian penny. Place the bottom edge into the tread grooves. If you can see the bottomn of the word Canada in two or more adjacent groves, your tire needs replacing. The samne test should 6e applied to your regular tires even if winter in your part of the country amounts only to a rainy season. During the first ten minutes or so of rain, when,,the water mixes withthe oit and residue cover- ing the road, ice-' like drivng conditions occur and it wili. take you at lea9t four times the distance to stop, even with good rubber under your car. A few tips for foui weather driving from the Canada Safety Council:, neyer "lock up" the wheeis 6y jammîng :on your brakes - pump them down instead; increase the "fIollowing" distance between you and the car in front; avoid abrupt use of the accelerator and steering wheel and sharp curves, wind gusts, shady spots and bridges. Should you start to skid, take your foot off the gas and steer in the direction of the skid by turning the front wheels in the direction in which your rear wheels are sliding. TheQ, as the car stabilizes, straighten out the wheels and punip the brakes gently to slow down. Today'fs Health More and more couples are looking to permanent forms )f contraception - those who have had ail the children they vant, or those who prefer not to have any. Making the decision is the difficuit part, carrying it out s easy. Either the man or the woman can have a minor ;urgical incision that will prevent unwanted conception. tVs something you may want to talk over with your amily doctor. Vasectomy of the maie is perhaps the easiest choice for Joth. It's a minor procedure, done in the doctor's office. In Ontario, the number of vasectomies performed is rising L-very year. One Ontario physician, who has done thousands of vasectomies, says that the average Canadian seeking the operation is in his mid-thirties, has three cbildren and has an economic and educational levet somnewhat higher than the average for the general population. But you had better be sure that a vasectomy is what you really want. There have been several dlaims that the opera- tionis everi*l,1-bt-te suces-rte-foC rveraIar month post-operative period. At this point, the surgeon will normally mail the vasectomized maie a signed report saying that he is penn- anently sterile, and that there is no need for furtber testing for sperm. With the fear of pregnancy permanently remov- ed, many couples have reported considerable improvement in their sex lives. Other reports, though, suggested that men who bave vasectomies tend to overcompensate for an imagined loss of mascuiinity and virility by cbasing every woman in sigbt. However, a vasectomy does not affect the sexuai ability of the man, thougb there may have been some fear about this when vasectomy was stili a noveity, and those who had the operation felt that they had 10 prove to themseives that they were stili capable of functioning sexuaiiy. Reports in the medical literature say that there's no mlore evidence of psychological upset or marital problems among vasectomized patients than among untreated patients. Vasectomy is a safe, simple and painiess operation that provides a couple with the opportunity to be free of the fear of unwanted pregnancy. Until we can corne up with a contraceptive that bas no ide effects, and that can provide protection for substantiai periods of tome, vasectomy may be the most effective me- thod of absolute birth control at our disposai.
