Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hynd- There were 33 voluntary checks on Monday and Tuesday; 24 were defective, three were approved and six were recheck- ed. In the compulsory check section, out of 96 cars checked 79 were defective, five were approved and there were 12 re- checks. From those figures it is readily apparent that a big per- centage of older cars is unable to meet official safety stand- ards. When this provincial safety test was inaugurated checks were on a voluntary basis. Since that time legislation has been passed which makes the examination compulsory. Today, if a peace officer waves you into a safety lane you are compelled by law to have the check. First the officer will test your car's lights, horn, wind- shield wipers, and other points which are readily apparent, check your licence, insurance and driver's licence. lie will then wave you on to the more intricate part of the set-up where department of transport employees take over with com- plex equipment. First your headlights are checked on both high and low beam. The next piece of equipment tests your wheel alignment. The front end of your car is then hoisted and the entire wheel suspension system is carefully checked by two mechanics. At this point you get out of your car and a department man takes over to put the car through the brake test. Four dials on the brake test machine show the efficiency of the brakes on each wheel. If your car can come through these tests with no defects it is either very new or very well maintained. What happens if your carhas defects? If it is overdue for the scrap heap, that is where it goes. If the defects can be re- paired you are given an inspec- tion sheet listing all defects. Your car should then be tak- en to a garage and the garage- man should be given the list. You are allowed 72 hours in which to have the repairs made and the car should then be re- rested to provide you with the bill of health necessary for your safety and the safety of others you may meet on the highways. If you don't have the repairs made the licence plates will be removed from your' car. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Man spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Alex Strong, Guelph.

Using electronic equip- ment in a set-up on Alfred Street beside Wingham Town Park, representatives of the de- partment are carefully check- ing the 38 safety points of lo- cal vehicles, paying particular attention to the older models. In the first two days of this week 129 vehicles were check- ed. The tests have shown that it is quite probable that these checks can be credited with saving lives. In one instance, when the braking cheek was being made at a speed of about three miles an hour, the brake lines blew on the vehicle. The licence plates of this car were subse- quently removed. Three other cars were taken from the roads during these first two days. If you happen to think the old model car you are driving, or a later model car with high mileage is safe, possibly these figures supplied by the depart- ment on the first two days of the check will occasion you to put your car through the safety lane.
