The Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tions motor vehicle safety lanes are here. Fifty cars+tere passed through the check lanes on Tues- day by 4p.m. and of that number, 44 received orders for repairs to be done within a geriod of be- tween 24 hours and 10 days, and three had their plates removed because they were in an unroad- worthy condition. An insFector with the motor ve- hide inspection unit said they aren't visiting as many centres this year. He said they needed more money and personnel as the program costs more each year, but he added the mechanical fit- ness certificate that must accom- pany the sale of every used car now in the province ' has had • a positive affect on the number of dangerous cars on the road. He estimated since the mechanical fitness certificate law was passed 80 per cent of the "junkers" have been removed from the high- ways. He cited a personal observation as evidence of the effectiveness of the mechanical fitness certifi- cate law. He said before the new law out of 50 cars checked through a safety lane he might remove the licence plates of 10 of them. Now, he said the average number of plates removed out of 50 cars checked is three. The inspector said their princi- pall col rn, *hen checking ,a car, Jolts steering Systemand brakes.

Miticides for spider mites If plants in your garden don't seem to be doing as well as they should, it may be spider mite in- jury, Spider mites are very small spiders that feed on. the foliage of many garden plants. A severe in- festation can seriously damage trees, shrubs, evergreens and herbaceous plants. The foliage appears dull, sil- very -green and is speckled. The leaves sometimes look wilted. If examination shows spider mite damage, spray with 18.5 per cent a Kelthane and two tablespoons wettable powder per gallon of water or any good miticide. Spraying two or three times at weekly intervals will probably be necessary for control. Lack of control can mean the loss of valuable evergreens in particular, and certainly a loss of vigor.

Nor do ants, spiders, waterbugs, fleas, crickets, earwigs or silverfish. And trying to stop them with a spray insecticide that's meant for killing flying ihsects is tough. Because those bug killers don't have the staying power that Crawl-Tox has. The big difference - in Crawl-Tox is an ingredient called Diazinon. It keeps 'working effectively week after week. Spray . base- boards, drain pipes and steps and you'll stop most ground attacks before they even get started. Unless you have a special ant problem, of course. If you do, the best defence is to attack with Tat Ant Traps: Just place Tat Ant Traps wherever you see ants -- indoors or out. Ants will take bait from the traps back to the colony -- and in 3 to 5 days, the entire colony will be destroyed. Crawl-Tox and Tat Ant Traps. Between them they can stop anything that crawls. Gets to crawling bugs before they get to you. Kills ants where they live. Crawl,,Tox and Tat Ant Trap are Registered Trade Marks of CIBA-GEIGY CANADA LTD. M 0 0 0 0
