The winter ahead, according to
predictions, is to be as severe as
last winter. Roads will glaze with
ice, snow will drift across our
highways and snowplows will
push the snow into towering
banks along the sides of our high-
ways. Winds will take over from
here creating wind tunnels
between these towering banks of
snow where our highway once
was,
In these wind tunnels the wind
will swirl snow into a fury of
white nothingness creating what
we call a "white-out". When we
drivers get stopped in one of
these times of sightlessness, we
could be on the wrong side of the
road meeting an oncoming car,
or drive into the rear of the car or
truck ahead.
Fortunately, some drivers
driving under these conditions
are driving at a slower rate of
speed than normal. In this case, if
there is a collision, the severity of
the crash is reduced with the rate
of speed and so is personal injury
reduced.
In a study on traffic deaths it
was found that death had oc-
curred in collisions at speeds as
low as 12 M.P.H. Seat belts can
prevent this, particularly that
sometimes uncomfortable
one, the shoulder belt. Without
seat belts occupants of vehicles in
collision go slamming against the
steering column, dashboard, roof
and windshield.
Some are thrown out of the
vehicle which is generally fatal.
Picture a child on your lap in a
collision at just 30 m.p.h., your
body is forced forward crushing
the child against the dashboard.
Statistics show you are 80
percent safer belted up. Reduce
your risk of serious personal
injury or death — BUCKLE UP!
Plants enjoy
a spot of tea
Don't throw away leftover tea
— treat your plants to a tea party.
R, A. Fleming, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
extension horticulturist, says
many houseplants can benefit
from an occasional watering with
a weak tea solution.
Using a weak tea solution about
once a month will help provide
the moderately acid soil many
houseplants require to grow their
best, says Mr. Fleming.
"Much of the water used in
Ontario has a high calcium
content. This can cause an
alkaline condition in potting soils
where leaching fails to carry the
excess alkalinity away."
High calcium content in water
can be identified by heavy lime
depositis after boiling.
As a natural mild acid, tea
tends to neatralize the alkaline
condition without adding any
harmful ingredients.
Use four parts water to one
part tea solution. This will not
only reduce alkalinity but also
provide moderately acid soil
preferred by plants such as
azaleas, camellias, gardenias,
African violets, begonias,
gloxinias, and Cape Primrose.
Plan session
on machinery
Farmers may have as much as
20 percent of their capital tied up
in farm machinery, but they may
not have the machines they need,
says Professor Ross Irwin,
School of Engineering, Ontario
Agricultural College.
Professor Irwin says there is a
lack of information about
machinery. Dealers and
manufacturers sometimes
assume farmers know more
about machinery than they really
do.
To help farmers become more
aware of the functions of various
types of farm equipment, a one-
day information session is
scheduled for January 3 at the
University Centre, University of
Guelph.
The session will begin with a
lecture called "The Jobs
Machines Are To Do", by E.B.
Pridham, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, Simcoe.
Farm equipment dealers and
representatives of the Canadian
Farm and Industrial Equipments
Institute will discuss the
machines that are available and
the ones dealers can supply.
Bev Hill, a farmer from RR 1,
Varna, will present the farmer's
case in his talk "What Does the
Farmer Want".
The afternoon session includes
a discussion of the financial
aspects of owning machinery, by
Gary Hutchison, University of
Guelph, a talk on "Off-Shore
Equipment", by Stan Snyder of
Eastern Farm= Machinery, and
"Replacement of Machine
Systems" by Jim Arnold, On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food engineer,
The one-day machinery session
is part of the three-day Ontario
Agricultural College
Agricultural Conference January
3 to 5, There is no charge for the
session.
Here are some tips for winter
driving:
1, If you are involved in a
collision and visibility is poor to
nil, stay in your car, pedestrians
can die when struck,
2. Posted speed limits are for
ideal conditions, In winter it may
be too fast. Use good judgement.
$. Be able to see and be seen,
Keep all windows and lights clean
and clear of snow. Use your
headlights freely . you may not
see better, but you may be seen
better even in daytime, If
visibility is less than 500 feet it is
law and you must use
HEADLIGHTS.
4. Winds cool bridges and
overpasses quickly and they ice
up more quickly than the rest of
the road. Soil insulates and acts
as a heat pad slowing the freezing
of roads.
5. While driving on ice and
snow remember that sudden
movement can cause a skid.
Don't speed up, turn or brake
sharply on slippery roads.
6. Allow a safe following
distance anytime but par-
ticularly on slippery roads in
case of sudden stops. In 70-80
percent, of accidents "following
too close" is involved.
7. Remove accumulated slush
and snow from car fender areas
before It freezes and effects
steering,
8. If you find yourself stuck in
snow, use second gear if a
manual shift, and drive if
automatic. Start slowly and
gradually, don't gun the motor,
this causes wheels to spin and
turns snow to ice,
9. Many people die or suffer
from exposure or frost bite when
they get stuck or stranded in their
car. Dress according to weather
conditions and be prepared in
case you have to walk a mile or
two,
10. If your car does get stuck,
have it removed as soon as
possible so that it doesn't cause
another accident or block snow
removal,
Winter driving requires much
common sense. THINK BEFORE
YOU GO!!
