GOODALL BARRISTER, SOLICITOR NOTARY, Etc. Office -- Meyer Biotic WINGHAM DIAL 357-1990 IS ALL THIS SAFETY TALK JUST THAT? Keith McClure As Will Rogers said 25 years ago: "Oh for the horse and buggy days when you lived until you died and not just until you were run over," The joke still makes as much sense as some of the speech making coming from high places these days on car safety. Sounds like an election year. One problem is that the audience' the talk is aimed at— the auto-buying public—ignores the advice when they cast their votes in the shoWroom. Safety just doesn't have any sales appeal as munufacturers know who have tried to sell it. As one dealer sununed it up: "Customers aren't just sitting on their seat belts when they shop for new ears, they're Waking them back UNDER the seats." Ninety percent of actidenta are driver-caused, but since improving that statistic is a hard-sell toe, it Could help to make our tars as driver-accident proof as possible. Let's hope sensible rulings ALL makers have to folloW tray be adopted, One of the Way Wingham drivers can help NOW Is to hare your present ear safety-checked at least once a year. Have yoltr dealer Cheek the BRAKES: fluid seals, rubber hoses, Pedal action and linings: STEERING: wear on all ball studs and tiered ends (a wheel could fall off); TIRES, SHOCKS, HEMLINE, SUSPENSION and COOLING SYS- TEM, See you next Thursday.
