Steer This Way to drive in Mexico? LARRY SNIDER Planning Leave your CB radio home. Permits are no longer being issued because (North) Americans were not following Mexican regulations. * * * To check your shock ab­ sorbers, bounce the car up and down hard at each wheel; when it is bouncing well, let go. Good shock absorbers will stop the bouncing after one bounce. Weak ones will keep it going two or more times. k k k Sloppy weather coming up. Check your windshield wipers. Inexpensive replacement wiper blades may make a life-saving difference in your effective driving vision. * * * If your engine overheats, if may be the thermostat, the fan belt or a leak—or it may be something as simple as a bad radiator cap. If the seal or the spring has failed, it can't keep the pressure in the system. Check on a cold engine. k k k Experts consider rust-proofing a worthwhile investment for your car.

Friday night the Jets bounced the league leading Petrolia Squires 7-4 in Ilderton. It was the first season loss for Petrolia after winning 21 consecutive games. In winning over the Squires, the Jets did it in heroic fashion coming back from an early four goal deficit. News from Lucan UC “The Door of Opportunity” was the New Years message given by Rev. Keith Brown in Lucan United Church Sunday. Speaking from I Corinthians 16: 1-9 Mr. Brown said that our present position is our “Door of Oppor­ tunity”. “We must learn from our failures and not let them become habits. We have four God-given open doors — The Door of Lord­ ship, of Faith, of Prayer and of Christian Witness and Service. Let each of us resolve that we will , be alert to seize every op­ portunity to be of service to God.” The flowers in the sanctuary were from the funeral of the late Mr. Peter Veel. The sympathy and prayers of the congregation are extended to his loved ones. Sympathy was also extended to the Forester family in the loss of John’s father. The choir sang “Love Came Down at Christmas” with Mrs. Dale Froats singing the obligato. Next Sunday, January 8, the Sacrament of Infant Baptism will be held Tuesday, January 10 at 8 p.m. the general U.C.W. will meet and Sunday, January 15, the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be observed, together with reception of members by tran­ sfer. All young people, 14 years old and older, and adults, who wish to join the Church by Profession of Faith, are asked to contact Mr. Brown (227-1143) as soon possible. The Squires took a 3-0 lead by the 5:52 mark of the opening period scoring on their first three shots on L-I goalie John Robertson. Firing the first Petrolia goals were Tom Douglas, Bill Symington and Bill Abercrom­ bie, Doug Zonneville made it 4-0 just past the 14 minute mark. A goal in the final minute of any period can give confidence to any club that’s what Barry Baynham did for the Jets. The team captain put the puck into the Petrolia net on a blazing shot from the point, Ian McTavish and Terry Johnston drew assists. The Jets came out flying in the second period and were back on even terms with the Squires before four minutes had elapsed. At 2:12, Jamie Robb converted a pass from Barry Baynham and 40 seconds later Scott Graham hit the mark on a pass from Terry Johnston. The tying goal came from the stick of Frank Janick with assists going to Ron Tyler and Terry Johnston at 3:'58. A Petrolia power play back fired to allow the Jets to score what proved to be the winning goal at 11:03. Scott Graham scored on a play started by Steve Proctor and Jack Chipchase. At 4:40 of the second period, the Jets scored again while play­ ing short handed Brian Murphy poked the puck away from a Petrolia player at centre ice and romped in alone to blast the puck high into the net. The final Jets marker came at 6:37 when playing coach Jack Chipchase scored on a hard slap shot that knocked the stick out of goalie Bruce Aberhart’s hands. Assists were credited to Ian McTavish and Barry Barnham. After a shaky first period, John Robertson in the Jets net came up with a strong performance. He faced a total of 35 shots. The Jets were without six regulars and filled in with four members of the Strathroy juniors. Referee Ken Werboweski call­ ed 18 minor penalties in a relatively cleanly played con­ test. Petrolia took 10 of the penalties. The only action for the Jets this week will be Friday when they travel to Preston to meet the Jesters.
