PAGE.1 8. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1986, WHTTBY FREE PRESS Whitby The Jaycees Iaunched a pilot projeet this week desîgned to help cali a hait to impaired driving in Whitby. The broadly based program is aimed at reducing the incidence of impaired driving through community education and the promotion of respon- sible alternatives to what is finally becoming recognized as one of the most deadly social scourges of the 198's. The logo, DUTI, which stands for Driving Under The Influence, contained within a blue sbield in the shape of a stop sîgn, should start cropping Up in licen- sed bars and restaurants around town by the end of the summer, according to the Jaycees' DUTI chair- man Peter Sutton. Sutton said the pilot projeet, which is being condueted with the help of Catch 22 Restaurant and Circle Taxi, wiil last a month during which time the organizers hope to get ail the kinks out of the program before they extend it to the rest of the com- m'nty. Jaycees Beginning this week, any patrons of Catch 22 who feel they may have had one too many will receive a voucher from the bar en- titling them to a $3 discount on a cab ride home from Circle Taxi. Catch 22 will contribute $2 toward the cost of each voucher and Circle Taxi will kick in $1, Sutton said. "The idea behind the program is to make driving under the influence of alcohol as socially unaceep- table as driving on the sidewalk," he explained Friday afternoon. "We've got one nionth to get ail the bugs out of it s0 that when we do approach the other bars and restaurants we'll know exactly what we're talking about." There are more than 20 licensed establishments in Whitby, Jaycee president Bob Stanley estimated and he said they hope to bring them ail into the programn by summer's end. Stanley believes many bar and restaurant proprietors wil in fact consider it good business to join the DUTI fight impaired driving The Whitby Jaycees launched a pilot manager of Catch 22 Restaurant, Ron Rieger, programn last week which just mnight help put owner of Circle Taxi, Jaycees president Bob an end»-to impaired driving in Whitby.

In its simplest form, a cold frame is a glass or plastic- covered frame which traps the sun's warmth and shelters plants from winds and other weather extremes. Using a cold framne, the beginning and the end of the growing season may be ex- tended by several weeks; tender plants stored inside a cold frame have a better chance to survive the winter too. Seedlings started indoors may be "hardened off" or gradually conditioned to out- door temperatures by placing the seedlings in the cold frame for a few weeks. The frame gives sufficient protection against cool spring temperatures from about three wceks before plant- ing. Moving plants outside ear- ly, also alleviates space pro- blems inside the homne or greenhouse. When sown directly in a cold frame, early crops such as lettuce, spinach, radishes and hardy annual flowers re- ]y only on the sun as a source of heat. The frame retains some of the heat through the night - thus preventing frost damage. Give your Iawn arfighting chance right down to the rmots... FORFRA FREE LAWN ANALYSIS &ESTIMATE, ACTNOfW CALL ~n~a*2C- Throughout the spring and early summer, many crops may be started in the cold frame, giving them a con- siderable head start over similar crops sown directly to the garden. In autumo, half-hardy perennials, chrysan- themums, and other plants that do not overwinter well, may be stored in the cold frame and covered with leaf mulch. A properly-cons truc ted cold frame should be no more than two metres wide for easy access fromn both sides, Hamersma says. Siope the top and position the col d frame toward the South for maximum sun ex- posure. Standard height for frame boxes is 30 centimetres to 40 cm at the back sloping down to 15 cm to 20 cm high at the front of the frame. Various materials may be used on the top of the cold frame. Glass storm windows may be used. Or try the new lightweight six millimetre po- ly greenhouse film that is easy to adjust for ventilation, easy to remove and easy to store. The frame is usually made of wood for good insulation. Storm windows, hinged at the back may be easily lifted from the front to ventilate the cold frame. By attaching books and eyes to the front of the frame, the storm window sashes may be secured on windy days. You may set up the cold frame on top of the soul (for portability) or you may sink the frame about 20 cm to 25 cm into the ground. Plants may be grown in containers and then set in the frame, or sown directly into prepared soil inside the cold frame. "But remember that a cold framne is not a true greenhouse; there is stili a danger of frost on very cold spring nights unless a piece of cardboard or an old rug is placed over the frame," he says.
