The Ontario Safety League warns trailer operators to double check the condition of their equipment before taking an extended highway trip. The important parts to check are wheel bearings, hitch and safety chains, tie-down straps; and be sure you taillights and indicator lights are working perfectly. After summer's use, the wheel bearings may well need cleaning and re-packing. Check nuts and bolts on the frame of the trailer, the hitch and supporting rollers and cushions, to be sure they are all tight.

Tighten up Whenever you can think of it, pull in your stomach; tighten your shoulders and back muscles. It's good for you and you'll look better too, says the federal health department. Continued from Page 1 officials would make no similar offer. "We would like to get this settled before the end of September," said Reeve Thompson, "we were hoping you people would come closer. Our residents want protection and Hensall can do it best...." When a Hay official suggested his township's money would be better spent on a tanker than a pumper, Reeve Jaques asked: "What good is a tanker without a pumper?" The meeting ended with Hay asking for the standby cost from Hensall and saying its councillors plan to query provincial officials at Hanover next week in an effort to find out what effect regional government may have on fire protection services. "If we wait a year (to settle with the three departments needing fire trucks)," said one of the men from Hay, "maybe it will settle itself like the schools." Reeve Thompson said Tuckersmith doesn't want to pay the high retainer fees, noting that the township "owns a little bit" of the trucks in Clinton, Seaforth and Brucefield and "we think that's the way to do it," • -- . Tuckersmith's representatives said they were anxious to settle the matter and offered to go along_ with any reasonable agreement reached between Hay and Hensall, but no compromise could be worked out at Tuesday's session. Fifteen men participated in the Brucefield talks. With Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson were Deputy Reeve Alec McGregor, Clerk Jim McIntosh and Councillors Ross Forrest and Ervin Sillery. Hensall sent Reeve Oliver Jaques, Clerk Earl Campbell and Councillors Harold Knight, Hein Rooseboom and John Baker. Present from Hay were Reeve John Hoffman, Deputy Reeve Lloyd Hendrick and Councillors John Tinney and Lionel Wilder. Harold Knight acted as spokesman for the Hensall contingent and explained that Hensall's one fire truck was never designed for out-of-town service and is now worn and not in condition for rural calls. He said those who believe the firemen are trying to blackmail the townships are wrong. "They are just trying to make us aware," he said, "... the equipment is just not adequate. Hensall needs a new fire truck for country calls." Mr. Knight said the truck may last a few more years if used only in town, but in any event will have to be replaced eventually. Reviewing the course • of negotiations, he said the first thought was for each municipality to pick up one-third of the engine's purchase price. Then the township share was reduced to 32.5 percent each and the village portion raised to 35 percent. But an estimate of $7,800 for each township was considered too high still. Disagreement on the type of truck needed stalled the talks with Hay Township, but Hensall did offer to pick up the Hay share and go ahead with only Tuckersmith, reserving the right to negotiate with Hay if it decided it wanted protection after all. Then Hensall's council offered to accept as little as ' • Kippen BY MRS.

JEWELLERS LTD. ;110in And s../.nth EL, CLINTON 45E.9525 OPp, replies QUESTION; Dear Constahle: Can a pelieernan legally remove a car that he finds parked on a highway? ANSWER: Yes be can. The Highway Traffic Act states, 4 `A constable or an officer appointed for .carrying out the provisions of this Act,. upon the discovery of a motor vehicle apparently abandoned on or near a highway or of a motor vehicle without proper registration plates, shall take the Motor vehicle into his custody and may cause it to be taken to and stored in a suitable place and all costs and chargeS for removal, care or storage thereof are a lien upon the motor vehicle, which may be enforced in the manner provided by Section 45 of the Mechanics' Lien Act. loose bolt could create a major catastrophe on a crowded highway. And once out on the highway, remember you trailer manners'. Keep your speed well within the stated limit. Always remember the added length and weight of your load and give yourself more time for all manoeuvres such as stopping, passing and changing lanes. And above all, use your indicator lights to make your intentions known well in advance of the move. Use hand signals as well as mechanical signals where traffic conditions make it desirable to give extra emphasis to your intention to turn, or stop.
