USE OF SAFETY BELTS
CALL FOR THEM IN
ALL MOTOR VEHICLES .
The main organization of
Canada's doctors, the Canadian
Medical Association, is on record,
in favour of promoting the use of
safety belts by doctors and their
families:"
Several, studies in Canaaa and
the Tinned States show that doct-
ors were far from. leading the
way in the use of these life-saving
devices.
The CMA convention in Winni-
peg earlier this year passed . a.
resolution favouring use of the
restraining devices by members
of the profession, The doctors
also called for legislation re-
quiring the use of Safety belts in
all motor vehicles.

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.

"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

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',

VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES.
STILL BIG PROBLEM
. 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' . •
