Ejection is known to be the" single greatest cause of death in automibile accidents. Safety belts keep you inside the car and in your seat. When a car hits a solid object, it comes to, a sudden halt -- but the car occupant does not stop. While car doors on new model cars no longer fly open in a crash because of the installation safety locks, people are still being being ejected through wind- shields and side windows. "THE:. GOOD DRIVER" . An electric car is being built in Oshawa that can go anywhere in the country, according to a stagy noted by the Ontario Safety League; all you need is a 8,000 mile extension cord. • e • A one-year test of 31 Toronto Transit Commission buses. fitted with water-filled bumpers in front has' been so successful that the '1'TC will gradually convert the whole fleet The Ontario Safety League says that the cost of property damage and injury' claims per million miles 'operated for the buses fitted with the energy-absorbing water bumpers was. $1,370.; for buges with conventiOnal bumpers the figure was $7,250. TTC buses average 30,000 miles yearly, and the saving works out at about $190 per bus per year for the units with "front water bumpers. • * Cowl Drivers "pump" 1, their brakes when th6 need arises for fast deceleration; 'that is, they apply, then release their brakes in rapid succession. This reduces ,the danger of skidding, and is re- commended particulatlY When the road surface is slippery.. But. there is one potential cleng- er in this technique that is little realized, says the Ontario Safety League_ If one of the brake lights is not functioning; "plumping" gives the effect of a, turn signal to the other brake light, which could mislead following ttaffid. This is an additional reason why all car lights should he checked frequently, and replaced iterned- lately when necessary', • * Here's a "nigheoip" ,ciatatistie froM ,the Ontario Safety League.

Vitamins are receiving renewed attention from nutritionists. Dr, D. Hill, Department of Nutrition, Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph, said that problems related to, vitamins and animal needs are not all solved. as a *.recent vitamin, problem. Dr. Hill cited biotin deficiency Deficiencies of this nutrient • are rare, as. thost feeding rations contain adequate levels of biotin. In 1985, biotin deficiencies appear- ed in both birds and animals, Young turkeys, particularly, suf- fer from this condition, which results in high mortality rate, and. a characteristic dermatosis of the bottom of the feet. Biotin deficiency can be cor- rected by adding more of the vitamin to the feed. For young turkeys, this rate is 100 to 1 20 milligtams of the pure vitamin tb one ton of turkey starter.. Asked why a vitamin such as biotin should become a ptoblem. so suddenly, Dr, Hill explained that modern feed programs And new bird strains may be ,the cause. Ration formulas lire con- tinually changing, and a change in the level of one vitamin could create inadequacy in another. Also, some of these vitamins ard produCed in the intestines of the birds or animals. The amount pro- dueed may he' affected by anti- biotics and other feed additives. A new type of 'bird, especially a rapid-growing strain,. may 'aide re- 'quire additional vitamin supple- ment' . • Amounts el these' critical nutrients must be' continually te- Vised to Shpfek the needs of oar livestock.
