There is no substitute for
caution in getting through the
treacherous start of the winter
motoring season accident-free.
Even the best traction aids have
their limitations, the Canada
Safety Council established in its
1970 and 1971 Winter Tests.
In general, the aids are at
their best on slippery surfaces
at temperatures near the freez-
ing point but their effectiveness
dissipates as the surface temp-
erature approaches zero.
"Even in the most favourable
conditions, drivers must make
allowances for other vehicles
which may not be equipped with
these' aids," Philip J.Farmer,
Executive Director of theCanada
Safety Council warned.
' The key to safe winter driv-
ing is defensive driving based on
the principle of recognizing the
hazards, understanding the de-
fences and acting in tims."
One hazard is maintaining
control while passing on slippery
roads. It takeis a great distance
in which to pass sately so drivers
are urged_ to be patient and stay
in line.
Another big hazard is the
rear-end crash. The following
car must ensur e it can stop
in time by maintaining a much
greater following distance than
necessary on dry surfaces. Re-
member that the vehicle's only
contacts with the road surface,
the tires, have very little trac-
tion on slippery surfaces. To
prevent skids when stopping,
pump the brakes rapid ly rather
than jamming them.
Motorists should have chains
available to give them traction in
an emergency. Snow tires pro-
vide greatly im,aroved traction on
snow but motorists should be
aware of the fact that they are
not effective on slippery sur-
faces.
So you're stuck. Motorists
should have some kind of shovel
available to clear the snow from
around the tires. They should be
equipped with sand, rocksalt or
ashes to put under the tires as
well as pieces of carpeting to
insert in frotit of the rear tires
before rocking the vehicle.
Skidding is another major
hazard. Motorists should avoid
any sudden steering manoeuver.
Slow down on slippery surfaces.
If the vehicle skids, take your
foot off the accelerator and steer
in the direction the rear of the
'vehicle is skidding. • Don't over-
compensate. And drivers should
practice this manoeuver off the
road on open sheets of ice or
other slippery surfaces so they
will really kno\ , what to do.
Heavy --ow and sleet create
a v'sibil azard. The defense

windshield wipers often when dri-

occasionally at night to clean
headlights and taillights. If driv-

use the low beam but when
visibility nears zero, getting off
the road is the only answer,
Your vehicle should be fitted
out for winter -- brakes checked;
snow tires installed; battery
checked; exhaust system checked
for leaks; windshield wipers
checked for proper tension and
anti-freeze added to the washers;
heaters and defrosters checked
out. And to see and be seen, keep
a brush to wipe off snow and a
windshield scraper in the car.
"The woes of winter driving
can be reduced greatly if drivers

do it in severe ice and snow con-

year, several swine pro-
ducers are reporting substantial
losses of pigs weighing between
20 and 70 pounds.
The most alarming evidence
of vitamin E-selenium deficiency
is sudden death. Apparently heal-
thy pigs are found dead. Fre-
quently they are recently weaned
pigs penned with pigs from other
litters. Closer examination of
living pigs may reveal muscular
weakness, 'depression, signs of
anemia, jaundice and edema.
When forced to exercise, they
move reluctantly, gasping for air.
A similar condition caused by the
deficiency can also be observed
in calves and la mbs.
If the postmortem reveals
heart tissue damage, the disease
is called Mulberry Heart
Disease; when the liver tissues
are found damaged, it is Hepa-
tosis Diaetetica, and when the
skeletal muscle is affected, the
condition is called Nutritional
Muscular Dystrophy. A fourth
.condition, Iron Toxemia may also
occur after the administration-of --
iron to piglets, either by in-
jection or orally. Death occurs
within a few hours, and may affect
some or all piglets in a litter.
Other symptoms and prob-
lems suggesting a deficiency are
excessive bleeding during cas-
tration, hemorrhaging anemia
from internal bleeding, and gas-
tric ulcers.
There are no simple or com-
plete answers as to why. this
nutritional deficiency should now
become a problem, says Mr.
Simmons. However, swine man-
agement is changing rapidly.
Since most swine are now raised
under complete confinement, nu-
trients found on pasture are no
longer available to correct mis-
takes in the ration. More farmers
are using simplified corn-
soybean meal rations, without
including alfalfa meal or other
basic feeds. There are important
differences in vitamin E content
in these feeds and this should
be taken into consideration when
.determining the ration.
Modern methods of corn har-
vesting and storing may result in
less vitamin Ethan was once the
case. Early harvesting, me-
chanical damage to the wet kernel
with exposure of the germ to the
air, plus, in some instances,
the heat of drying may result in
appreciable loss of vitamin E
activity. Other factors that des-
troy the germ include early
freezing, grain stored for over
a year, and any grain that has
been sprouted.
A second factor relating to
the problem is the low selenium
concentratiOn in most Ontario
soils. The amount of vitamin E
required in the diet seems to be
high when the selenium levels are
low.
Since selenium cannot be
added to feed, 10,000 I.U. of
vitamin E per ton of feed appears
to be the most common level
recom mended. Where pig losses
have occurred this is boosted to
20,000 I.U. Injectable preparat-
ions as well as some that can
be used in drinking water are also
available.
A few years ago, vitamin E-
selenium deficiency was not re-
garded as an imeortant problem
for Ontari o swine producers.
Although many farmers still have
not seen the disease, it is here
and can cause pig deaths, says
Paul Simmons, Swine Specialist,
Ontario Department of Agri-
culture and Food, Markdale.
Significant losses were re-
corded last winter, particularly
in Southwestern Ontario. This
