HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1969-07-03, Page 7The head restraints in 1969 automobiles are designed to reduce injuries clue to rear-end collisions, Restraints should help minimize some of the unpleasant effects of these all-too-common crashes, but their causes can be dealt with only by drivers, There are a number of things you, can do to help prevent rear-end collisions. Here are some of them. Don't let yourself be crowded by the driver behind. If someone followsyou too closely for safety, encourage him to pass - by pulling off the road if necessary. Signal your intentions - to make a turn, change t1anes, or stop suddenly. Signal an intend- ed stop by pumping your brake pedal to flash the brakelights. Don't crowd the driver ahead - leave at least one car length for each 10 miles of speed. And remember that high speeds and poor weather conditions demand extra stopping distance. At night, or in rain or fog, allow for reduced visibility or decreased traction, Limited-access highways have mad higher speeds common. As a result drivers need to be especially wary of slow - moving or stopped vehicles. Stay alert - be particularly attentive near controlled intersections where vehicles ahead may be slowing, turning, and stopping, Watch for slower-moving merging traffic. Use acceleration and deceleration lanes to change your own speed when entering or leaving a highspeed highway. Prevent secondary collisions at an accident scene by getting off the roadway quickly if you decide to stop. Be a defensive driver - constantly watch the traffic around you and plan for any foreseeable emergency.

FLY CONTROL CHEMICALS NEEDED IN PIG BARNS Mies can be a big problem in pig barns. In the farm summer they carry diseases. and irritate the pigs. So it's important that they be kept under control. .1. G'. Xorrish. Swine Specialist, Ontario 1)epartmen1. of \ g Oen I - tore and .1 ood. says that one ex- pellent method of keeping the flies dawn is by using the regis- tered fly control chemicals. These are. Diazinon Dichlorvos (DT)V13 ), T)inletho;:ite(Cygolf), Triclrlorfriir (Dylox). nonitel (Kellen), and Malathion. They can all be used as sprays, while some cati be used as bait or, fogs. "Phe chemicals are harmful to pigs, so the animals nitist lie removed before the barite cite sprayed. Matiufactilter's It's good as far as goes... direetions f or use. should be fol- lowed exactly, If -there is Ito other accomo dation for the pigs while the barns are being sprayed, resin strips can be. Used instead of ch emic a 1 s. The strips are hung from the ceiling and are effectivo for about three months. Although the strips are more :Ltpensive than the sprays, the pigs do not have to bp removed from the barn and this m.ay help to offset the extra cost..
