Civilian personnel venture d through the "Safety Lane" set up in the mobile equipment hanger. The lane consists of several tests and inspections to deter- mine if the vehicle is safe to drive. Horn, lights, wipers get the first check, with taillights and turn indicators getting close attention. The angle of the head lights was inspected closely and beams that were too high were noted. A gauge that determines the toe-in and toe-out of the front wheels also gives the driver a good indication of possible tire wear and steering problems. The car is jacked up and the steering linkage is checked for slackness, the exhaust system is given a thorough visible check and the car is passed on to the brake test. The vehicle is driven across Kinsmen hear project reports The Exeter Kinsmen received reports on one of their most suc- cessful car shows to date at their meeting last Thursday. Despite the rain, attendance hit 700, said Cal Wein, well over last year's attendance. The Har- vest Jamboree was also con- sidered a success.

Baynham also reported on the prospects of the Kinsmen spon- sored midget hockey team. He ventured that the club may have an Ontario hockey championship team on its hands. Parent in- terest is much more responsive this year, he said. There was some momentary confusion on whether the club had voted to support midget hock- ey this year. The procedural problem was solved by putting the motion and passing it. New members for Hensall Brownies Ten new members, Patty Row- cliffe, Aileen Klungel, Lorrie Downie, Joan Alexander, Gail Travers, Valerie Clark, Patty Ann Parker, Beth Turvey, Kim Parker and Margaret Rooseboom were received in to the Hensall Brownie pack on Nov. 9. Brown Owl Mrs. Robert Cook enrolled the Brownies in a cere- mony arranged by Snowy Owl Mrs. Barrie Jackson. Mrs. Tom Lavender, District Guide Com- missioner, presented athlete badges to 18 Brownies.

Of the 801 cars inspected at RCAF Station Centralia, 347 were approved on the first inspection With another 240 approved after minor repairs were effected. Of the 112 cars that did not pass, only a very few were deemed needing major repairs such as front end wheel alignments and steering linkage repairs. The remainder had not returned to be re-inspected. Inspector Basil Pocock of the Ontario Department of Transport was very pleased with the results at RCAF Station Centralia. He stated by comparison the number of vehicles passed at Centralia was much higher than the pro- vince on a whole. The provincial pass rate is approximately 50% as compared to the high 86% obtain- ed at Centralia. Asked why the rate was so high at Centralia, he contributed the success to the educationprogram and compulsory check that all servicemen's vehicles must have before they are allowed on a De- fence establishment. Also, the Safety Lane is asked to attend the unit twice a year as compar- ed to the once a year provincial voluntary system. A further in- centive is provided by the fact that those who do not obtain the yellow safety lane sticker for their cars may have their on- station driving privileges re- voked and find themselves walk- ing. Inspector Pocock stated that burnt out lights, beams too high, or turn indicators not functioning was the area where the greatest' number of cars were found de- ficient. This is one area where an inspection by the individual could remedy the fault very easi- ly. From the standpoint of the Department of Transport and the Vehicle Safety Supervisor, Sgt C. J. Arnold, a very successful and worthwhile vehicle safety campaign has just concluded.
