Protect your eyes with goggles when chipping hot slag from the weld, The techniques for welding are easily learned, says Professor Scott. Some welder manufacturers have set up short courses to give farmers a solid background in welding. For most farmers, the instruc- tions given by the machinery dealer and some practise will be sufficient. The first snow of winter can be beautiful. But when that snow is in your driveway and on your sidewalks, it's not nearly so pretty. Snow removal can be less of a chore than in years past, however. Gone are the rusty snow shovel and hat,. tered scraper, replaced by self- propelled snow blowers and small tractors with snow removal attachments. Modern snow-removal equipment eb- soletea the back+breaking labour of the shovel, saving you time, effort, and the danger of a possible heart attack, But for maximum effectiveness, the fine points of selecting, operating, and maintaining your snow-removal equipment must be understood, Two main types of equipment are used for snow removal at home. First is the walk-behind (or self-propelled) snow blower, which is handled somewhat like a power lawn mower. As you walk behind it, the snow blower cuts up the snow, then blows it to the side through an adjustable chute, Non-self- propelled blowers are available, but studies show a 3- tol preference for the easily handled, powerful, self- propelled models, The other major snow remover is based on the standard garden tractor, which many users already own for grass-cutting and light hauling during the summer, Come winter, you can put this tractor to work by adding either a front dozer-type blade for snow-plowing, or a blower attachment similar to that used on self-propelled snow blowers. According to snow-removal experts, choice between these two types of equipment whould be based on local average snowfall, amount of space to be cleared, type of terrain, and health of the individual removing the snow. Health is the most important factor. Even though a walk-behind snow blower handles effor- tlessly, the exertion of walking through the snow may over- strain a user in poor health. Such people should consider a riding tractor. The next factor is the type of surface from which the snow must be removed. A snow ' blower does topnotch work over hard surfaces, such as• concrete or black-top driveways. But a'' blower has shortcomings on gravel. Small stones can be sucked up an ejected along with the snow stream, causing danger to surrounding win- dows, automobiles, pets and people. Plows and dozer blades also perform well on hard sur- faces, and are completely safe on gravel. But when a plow is used over grass or along grassy borders, it can gouge and cut the sod surfaces if not used with care. If you work carefully, you can probably use either blower or blade on nearly all surfaces. But the blower seems to he the better choice when working mainly around grassy surfaces, and the plow or blade seems the ideal chocie for working over gravel, The amount of snowfall received and the amount of sur- face to be cleaned work together to determine the size of snow-removal equipment you should have. Most self- propelled snow blowers are equipped with gasoline engines of 5 to 8 horsepower, driving snow-removal blades of 26 to 32 inches wide. These rugged machines can cope with heavy, dense snows, are perfectly adequate for clearing large driveways, sidewalks, and playing areas. Garden tractors are even larger and stronger, with engines to 14 horsepower available to power snow blowers or snow plows. Engineers recommednd that they be used for extra large cleaning jobs. Snow blowers, whether of the self-propelled or tractor- mounted type, handle very deep snow better than a dozer-type blade. The snow blower blows the snow out of its way, but the blade piles up the snow in its path. And, you can control the path of snowremoval easier with a blower, because you can swivel the discharge chute from side to side. Of course, a tractor can handle either snow-blower or blade attachment. If you select a tractor, you have the flexibility of switching from blower to blade on the same tractor. Since self-propelled snow blowers are not available with a blade attachment, they don't give the same flexibility of usage. Once equipment is selected, two checks should be made. First, check the area to be cleared, noting the location of obstructions that might foul the blower or blade: curbs, sidewalk edges, low-lying plants, pipes projecting from the ground, etc. If you check for these before snow flies, you'll have an easier task of avoiding them when they are buried un- dep a thick blanket of snow. A feriernarketstakes, strategically plaeedthylate autumn, can be a big help in avoiding obstruc- tions and finding the edge of curved driveways. When the snow comes, adjust the machine to a steady com- fortable pace for most effective snow removal. Forward speed should be determined by snow depth and other operating con- ditions, but should usually be between two and three miles per hour. Speed is more critical for blowers, If snow piles up and clogs the blower chute, the blower is moving forward too fast. When partial blockage oc- curs, slow down and let the discharge chute clear itself_(if it can) before continuing at a lower speed. If you must remove snow from the blower chute by hand, stop the engine, International Harvester safety experts also recommend removing the sparkplug wire so that the engine cannot be started inad- vertently while your hands are near operating parts, When you start the machine to continue, be sure to keep hands and feet away from the front of the machine or discharge chute while the engine is running. Objects thrown by a snow blower can cause damage. Great care should be taken to provide proper chute direction and deflector-cap adjustment of avoid throwing snow and possible foreign material at people, autos, indows, arid pets. Make sure that no one passes in the path of the discharge chute while you are working, particularly small children. A bit of care here can protect bystanders from possible injury from flying debris. Do not fill the gasoline tank while the engine is running or hot. Wait until it is cooled, then use a funnel to avoid spillage. Keep smokers and flames away to eliminate the possibility of fire and explosions. If a snow blower must be used on gravel surfaces, International Har- vester engineers point out that special runners, available on many models, can be adjusted to maintain working height over the irregular surfaces. , Adjusting the runners down- 'ward lifts the blades of the blower to clear gravel and small stones. This adjustment can help prevent the accidental discharge of gravel and rocks along with the snow. Children should not be allowed to operate the snow blower at any time. The average child is not capable of coping with the intricacies of operating a power tool. Be extremely careful not to slip or fall as you operate a snow removal machine, especially when it is in reverse. Injuries caused by this type of accident are rare but can be ex- tremely severe. FIRE ESCAPE During the winter season the risk of home fires increases. If fire strikes, a window may be the easiest and quickest escape route for members of the family on the ground floor of the home, Consumers' Association of Canada reminds you to break the window with a chair or other heavy object, shielding your face from flying glass. Then run a large object—a book or a man's shoe—around the edges to remove jagged pieces of glass. CAC headquar- ters is located at 100 Gloucester Street, Ottawa. I Equipment breakdowns cut into an operation's efficiency. A welder in the workshop can sometimes make the difference between getting your crop off in good condition, or waiting for repairs and settle for poorer quality. A farmer can recover the initial cost of a welder in I year of machine repairs on a modern mechanized farm, says Professor J. Scott, Sdhool of Engineering, University of Guelph. The electric welder 225 am- peres at 20 percent duty cycle, is the most popular unit for use on farms. Its cost ranges from $150 to $175, complete with cables, ground clamp, electrode holder, and a head shield. Elec- trodes can be purchased to weld, braze, or hard-face almost any metal. The low hydrogen electrodes, for steel alloys and medium carbon steels, will probably be of great value to farmers. Much of today's machinery is manufac- tured with these metals. Heavy-duty wiring, similar to that for an electric stove, is necessary to provide 45 am- peres at 220 volts. Setting the welder in a machinery storage shed or workshop will facilitate repairs. For bigger equipment, the welder can be moved out- doors by using a 3 No. 8 cabtire extension cord of the ap- propriate length, There is no danger of elec- trice] shock if the welder is properly grounded. But there are a few hazards to watch out for. Always use a welding helmet. The electric arc produces X-rays and ultraviolet rays that can burn the lubricant from your eyes at a range of up to 40 feet, Get im- mediate treatment from a doc- tor if your eyes are exposed to a flash. Keep the welding area clear of flammable and com- bustible materials, such as gas, INe/SeeerooVeNeee.0114%eeerfaefa Plant that money now!

Instead, tenants and homeowners will be applying for tax credits when they file their 1972 income tax returns early in 1973, Ontario's residential property tax reduc- tion program of the past four years is being replaced by a new property tax credit plan. Mr, MacNaughton. said the ' new provincial plan, designed to more equitably distribute the property tax burden among homeowners and tenants, will work through the personal in- come tax system and be ad- ministered for Ontario by the Department of National Revenue. "The property tax credit will come as an income tax refund cheque or as a reduction in in- come tax. However, I should advise Ontario homeowners that to qualify for the new property tax credit, 1972 municipal taxes must be paid during 1972," he said, Mr. MacNaughton said the new system will reduce the total property tax burden by at least $160 million. Low income groups will benefit most. The plan is also being extended to roomers and boarders. The property tax credit plan is restricted to Ontario residents and applies to prin- cipal residences only. Residents in homes for the aged or tax- exempt institutions do not qualify. The Treasurer said the benefit to individual taxpayers will vary "because we have linked property taxes to income taxes and, therefore, to the in- dividual's ability to pay. The Majority -of Ontario residents will receive more money back under the new plan, Some will receive abent the same as last year, while high income earners will receive less. Homeowners, tenants and, others who may be eligible-- such as roomers ana students living on-campus -- will receive instructions on how to apply for and calculate the property tax credit when they receive 1972 income tax return forms early next year, Clinton Memorial Shop T.
