-Yet three out of him- vehicles show
at least one- defect adversely
affecting fuel economy
The -hunan mechanisin has one particularly marvel-
ous.feature. No matter how severe a pain is created by
illness_ or' mishap, once the body has recovered there
is no tangible =collection of the hurt. Physical scars
may remain, but the intensity of the pain itself is for-
gotten.
The above-stated fact may help illuminate what
has been happening to the attitude of the motoring
public in recent days. Seemingly slipping from our con-
sciousness is the spectre of the gasoline shortage that
haunted us- only a matter of months ago.
laewise, the air quality problem that had a nation
in near turmoil in the 1960s has been put on our
mental back burners. (After all, haven't the auto corn-
paniet- "saved us" by -producing more economical,
cleaner burning cars?)
Improvements built into new cars
It is true, the car makers. have made remarkable
strides in building cars that give more miles per gallon
and emit less pollutants.'
But the facts show that the discoinfort caused car
owners by scarcegasoline at increasingly higher prices
and the cost of pollution and poor performance is re-
pressed into the darkest corners of our consciousness.1
-- Proof of the contention what Car makers are ac-
complishing by making better cars is being undone by
the car buyer—can be found in measurements of
public attitudes and practices.
What nationwide tests show
For example, a nationwide test program of motor-
ists' Maintenance habits shows a continuation of sloppy
maintenance practices. Three. cars in every four show
at least-one defect that adversely affects fuel economy,
emissions or performance. And the defects are due to
lack of good maintenance.
YET NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF CAR OWN-
ERSHIP HAVE GOOD CAR HABITS BEEN SO
LUCRATIVE TO THE, OWNER:
Years ago, when fuel cost less than 30 :cents a gal-
lon, even a 10 per cent savings in fuel was not too allur-
. ing! Today, such a savings can amount to hundreds of
dollars annually.
The price of cars is climbing steadily, While it has
always been true that the automobile, next to the house,
is thesecond largest purchase the average person makes,
some (1---today's cars cost what a small house used to
cost. Therefore, car care is a form of protection of
sizeable investment.
Potential for high return
• Along with higher new car prices, used cars have
zoomed in price: The potential for getting a high re-
turn for a used vehicle has never been greater — espe-
cially when that vehicle has been well cared for, .
There is no better time to get into good car care
habits than the fall and winter season.
* * *
• There is more stop:and go driving which is
draining on fuel economy and on the ignition sys-
tem. So a tune-up is a smart investment .. not
only for gas saving reasons' But for surer starting.
• Slippery streets and highways, demand sound
brakes, shocks, tires and steering.
• Longer hours of darkness mean visibility is
challenged by misaligned, non-functioning lights,
cracked and dirty glass or worn wiper blades.. -
• Extremes in temperature mean cooling sys-
tems must be in top shape.

when the Auditor's financial statement is received. It wa agreed that the policy of all department submitting a preliminary budget to be dealt with at the November session be adopted as future policy, with as many 1977 preliminary budget as possible to be submitted to the 1976 November session of council, or at least to be dealt with by the committee with a recommendation to the January 1977 session. Another recommendation from the Executive Committee. that the council support a .resolution from the Town of Markham that the Minister of Culture and Recreation be requested to consider a policy under which the Ontario Athletic Commissioner places order- for equipment purchases approved under any Provincial grant with sports equipment retailers located in the community in which the grant
applies received enthusiastic
support.
Morris Reeve Bill Elston told
council that "equipment sent out
from Toronto free is really second
class." He cited broken baseball
bats as one example and
suggested that if the communities
were given the funds instead they
could perhaps purchase better
equipment.
Goderich Reeve 'Stan Profit
said the same held true for soccer
balls received by Goderich.
"After one or two games the
seams were coming apart." he
said.
A resolution from the County of
Perth recommending that the Consumer and Corporate Affairs Ministry of the Federal Government, the Consumer and Commercial Relations Department of the Province of Ontario and the Canadian Radio and Television Commission be petitioned to enact regulations restricting advertising which encouraged individuals to incur excessive debt did not meet with the same support. Council chose not to support the resolution. Morris Reeve Elston said that this was a free country and asked "what next will we be telling people they can't do?"
