Every few seconds, some-
one is injured by a car— and
in the time it takes for a
coffee break, someone dies
on the highway! The Nation-
al Safety Council points out
that faulty vehicles contrib-
ute to at least l.0% of high-
way accidents . . and rust
is often the chief villain.
But many problems caused
by rust can be detected and
corrected ahead of time.
Know how? Experts at Zie-
bart Process Corporation
have answered this list of
common questions from car
owners:
1. I keep my car in a heat-
ed garage in winter, yet I'
have more trouble with rust
than ever. Why is this? A
heated garage can actually
increase rusting by as much
as 300%,. According to a Uni-
versity of Manitoba survey,
ice .on the car melts and be-
comes water, the electrolyte
that completes the electro-
chemical circuit necessary
for rusting.
No! No-Rust Areas
2. Are there any areas in
the U.S. or Canada where
because of climate there is
no rust problem? There is no
area where rust is not a
problem. It is less in arid
areas because moisture must-
be present for rusting to take
place.
3. Does frequent washing
and waxing prevent rust?
Car care -helps, but unless
the interior boxed-in areas
of the car, where 88% of all
rusting starts, are protected,
rust can still eat holes in
your car and your pocket-
book, The rustproofing seal-
ant must be sprayed at high
pressure through strategical-
ly located hdles.
4. What is the major safe-
ty problem caused by auto
rust? Brake failure. Abcord-
ing to the Lincoln Technical
Institute of Detroit, this con-
dition is a direct result of en-
vironmental conditions such
as salt and moisture on our
streets. Major fleet operators
say that 40% of their brake
lines are rust damaged after
two years of service. The LTI

ance, as well as being unsafe.
people further recommend
that cai owners protect their
car and their life with a rust
preventive process.
5. What about air pollu-
tion? Is there really enough
contamination in our air to
cause vehicle rusting? This
is the 'finding of extensive in-
vestigation of rusting just
undertaken by the Canadian
Province of Ontario. In some
industrial areas tons of sul-
fur dioxide gas are put into
the air every minute. This is
true of residential and com-
mercial areas, too. Since sul-
fur dioxide plus rain water
results in sulfurous and sul-
furic acid which effectively
accelerate rusting, your car
has a bath of dilute sulfuric
acid every time it rains!
Not Effective
6. What about the chemi-
cals certain cities are adding
IF BRAKES FAIL •
Should you step On the
brake' and the pedal' sinks to
the floor, try pumping to
build up pressure. If there is
no pressure, coast in gear
and use the hand brake. For
quicker stops, shift into a
lower forward gear.
If all of these precattions
fail, look for something to
sideswipe such as a guard
rail, snow bank or parked car.
Use your horn and lights to
warn other motorists or ped-
estrians that you are out of
control.
to salt? Do they retard rust?
Corrosion inhibitors have
been tried with salt, Compre-
hensive testing of such cor-
rosion inhibitors was under-
taken by municipal govern-
ments both in the U. S. and
Canada a few years ago and
the inhibitors were found to
be ineffective. The only test-
ing' by a disinterested au-
thority was just completed
by the University of 'Mani-
toba over a two-year period.
As previously fonnd, the body
rusting was exAtly the same
with or without the inhibitor,
Keeping Warm...
With winter on its way, bet-
ter make sure your car heat-
er is functioning properly.
Often passengers in the
front seat are comfortable
but those in the back seat
are cold. You turn up the
heat, but it doesn't seem to
make it to the back. The hot
gets hotter and the cold stay
cold.
One reason for this may be
a clutter under-seat. Gener-
ally, the heat flow is designed
to travel under the front seat
to the rear compartment. If
there are rags, papers, tools
and other things in the way
the heat will be prevented
from reaching the back.
Short Takes . • •
A tune-up improves gaso-
line mileage, and engine per-
formance.
Planning a trip? Consult
your local service station for
the best routes.
Check your windshield
wipers and cleaning fluid
often,
Its a good idea to check all
around your car before start-
ing. Make sure that there
are no glass or obstructions
around your tires..

driving, spark plugs fire over
15,000,000 times.
