WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1974, PAGE 5 MOTORING.a How to Keep . .m.a Your Car From Rusting More cars are junked due to rust than to mechanical wear-out. This is especially true in Ontario where salt is used to melt snow and ice on streets and highways. Where salting is heavy and frequent, car bodies can become riddled with rust in less than three years unless they are i-ust-proofed. Cars are rust-proofed by applying a coating that will keep water and air from reaching the metal. This can be done only by an experienced and well equipped professional. It is wise to nave your car rust-proofed when you buy it. It is more expensive to rust-proof an older car as it must be steam-cleaned to remove road grime before rust-proofing is applied. While rust-proofing is probably the most important step to protect your car against rust, it is by no means thé only measure needed. Fortunately, the other anti-rust measures are inexpensive and can be done by the car owner himself without professional help. B.F. Goodrich Canada Limited car care specialists recommend these additional steps to keep your car free of body rust: (1) A coating of clear petroleum jelly or heavy wax will greatly prolong the finish of bumpers and chrome trim. (2) Rubber cement or other sealants, applied along the edges of the windshield, rear window and and body trim will prevent rusting around these parts. (3) Oil, now available in aerosol spray cans, can be sprayed into hard-to-reach places where rusting might take place. A thin coat of oil prevents rusting. O.S.L. Recreation Tips: Snowmobiles Now that snowmobiling is under way it's time to start planning for a safe, trouble-free season. The Ontario Safety League strongly advises joining a snowmobile club. Newcomers to the sport will receive operator training and the help of experienced snowmobilers. It is vitally important to know how to safely operate your machine and be aware of your responsibilities under Ont- ario snowmobile regulations and municipal laws. Ontario accident statistics show the use of public thorou- ghfares and resultant collisions with rnotor vehicles account for a high percentage of snowmobile fatalities. So it is advisable to confine your operation to snowmobile areas and well-marked trails. Snowmobile clubs and resorts are reminded that the Ontario Safety League has just received their new stock trail markers, including danger, directional and prohibitive signs. A new item this year is reflective tape which is especially valuable for marking trails which have heavy night use. For detailed information, contact: Ontario Safety League, 409 King Street West, Toronto. It is now a week past Mid-Winter's Day, February 4th, and as of that date, the record of snowmobile fatalities in Ontario for the current season was exactly the same as one year ago. The winter is half over and thirty-two snow- mobilers have become fatlity statistics. The Ontario Safety League along with many other organizations concerned with the promotion of safe snow- mobiling has been emphasizing the hazards of ice travel th;s winter because of the unprecedented and tragic loss of life among snowmobilers last season through drowning. Perhaps these efforts are effective as only five snowmobilers have been drowned this season, to date, as compared with fifteen during the same period last year. The big increase in total snowmobile accidents during the current season has occured on Ontario's roads, twenty-six snowmobilers being killed mainly in collisions with parked or moving motor vehicles. These facts speak for themselves. One of the important answers to safe snowmobiling is obvious, keep your snow- mobile on snow where it belongs and use roads only with extreme caution. The Ajax Kinsmen this week announced that due to advance ticket sales of their annual Ladies & Founders Night, they have moved the annual event to larger quarters. Originally scheduled for the Georgian Motor Hotel Reception Room, the Kinsm- en have moved the event to the Harwood Mall Auditorium in Ajax. Ladies & Founders Ã'ight is Saturday, February 16th, and tickets are available to the public from Howard God- dard, at 942-3711 or Doug Menzie at 942-5995. OId Wives Tal e Most of us have tried them at one time or another - black coffee, cold showers, taking a jog around the block. But we must recognize them for what they are - old wives tales. There is only one thing that can sober a person: Time! THE DRINKING DRIVER The person least able to operate a car safely is the one who is most convinced that he is in brilliant shape for driving, suggests the Ontario Safety League. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Some people seem to be able to 'hold their liquor" better than others and this excuse is often aired by those who don't want to believe that a few drinks can seriously impair driving ability. Because of body weight, fatique, emotional condition or a number of other reasons, individ- uals may show differing effects from drinking the sanie amount of alchol. However, they may be equally impaired. THE COST OF A FEW DRINKS Alcohol is involved in approx. 50% of the fatal automo- bile-accidents in Canada, according to the Ontario Safety League. It plays a role in.causing other types of accidents, in the home, when skiing, snowmobiling, boating, etc. The- se mishaps bring the total accidental death toll in Canada to some 12,000 each year, and the injuries to more than four million, leading to an estimated economic loss of two billion dollars.
