We have always enjoyed, the
beauty: ,of Pipers- Dam, 'just out
on the ouskirts of town. For
many summers I was puzzled by-
°
-
the sight of grass on the twigs
,..,. and branches of bushes on the .
shore - many, many feet above
the water, but the grass was
always caught around the twigs
from the ,same direction and
stretched ' more '"or less

sense. I final-ly.'convinced myself
that there must have been a
great wind in :the fall that blew
towards the lake and caused this
' freak trimming on everything. I
didn't want to show my
ignorance , by asking anyone
about it. I just thought I was
,smart to figure it out for myself. •
Imagine how "smart" I felt
when we went to the same spot-
one
potone very early spring and had
water splashing ,fin` our feet —
and we were a good 12 or 15
feet above thewater level as I
"had known it in the summer. 1
couldn't believe my eyes.

-river is: digging down deeper and
-deeper eaclr'spring and some day
it will be like looking for the

don't expect to be here when

you! Anyone with interesting
tales, about our Maitland River? I
know there ate plenty of them,
would you share them with me?

Comparatively few people 'will ever face the
ordeal of a rollover, but.dts worth -while for every
driver to make a conscious, effort to remember
that turning off the ignition switch might prevent
a fire in a rollover.
• All drivers should have more knowledge about
emergency situations than they are Iikely3to need,.
Here are some questions about emergencies. Some
of • the answers are obvious, others are less
straightforward:
WHAT WOULD YOU DO lF.,.
Q, Your accelerator,11-jammed and the car .began
to race ahead?
A. Switch off the ignition. Don't lose time
try. ing to free the pedal until the power, is cid off.
If -you have power brakes or power steering,. be
preparedofmuscle
f.c r heavy-as-I•ead•handling as soon as the.
engine stops. Steering and -braking will need plenty
. A
„
• Q. „A deet• came out of the bush •and ran across
the road ahead? ; 4 °
” A. 'Brake', sound horn, flash lights off and on,
Deer and other animals seem to'be hypnotized by
'the steady .glare of headlights, and there may be
another close behind..
Q. A head-on collision became inevitable?
"' A. Cut the ignition and in a car not equipped
with shoulder belts, put both' hands at the top of
the wheel, elbows out, and rest your forehead on
your hands: The front -seat passenger, should lean
forward, put his forearms together on the
dashboard and rest his head on his arms.
O. _While you were waiting at.a red Tight your
ears and rearview mirror suddenly told you that a.
car coming up too fast. was going to crash into
your rear?
A. Suppress any instinct to move ahead and
"roll with the punch" to mini.miie the damage.
That might lessen the damage to your car slightly,
but it is likely to lead to a worse crash with cross
traffic. Instead, bear down on the brake, brace
your head from behind with your hands. Take the
damage on your bumper, not your neck.
