A series of three specifications
were formally n recognized at the
Annual Meeting of the Ontario
Farm Drainage AsociatY n, .
w h i.e h 0 created. Minim,
voluntary standar& to be used
in the industry, says, Professor
• Irwin. The standards were
designed : by 'three committees
established a year ago by the
sat r Axl thein
recommendations were accepted
on a' tentative basis, which it is
hoped Will' be made permanent
• in the future. These standards
have come about through a
consensus of manufacturers An
. the industry, and are patterned
after those of the American
Society, for Testing Materials,
for conditions found in Ontario.
but have been modified slightly
Professor, Irwin _ notes that
clay drain tile may now be
specified inthree qualities.
Standard quality drain tile,
usually used, for farm drainage,
must have an average , minimum
It should also be remembered
that drain tile 'must not be less
than 12 inchsizes over 12e inches,in lgth the length and, for drainage,

per 'ideal foot. The crushing'
strength for extra -quality drain
tile is 1,100 pounds, and for
heavy-duty tile is 1,400 pounds
per lineal foot. These two the
types must be dense and not
, absorb, more than 11% weight
when boiled in water for 5.
hours.
•
Concrete drain tile.
sp ecigeations are slightly
different from those for clay
'drain . ,tile. Standard quality.
concrete, drain tile must have a
crushing strength of 900 pounds
per lineal foot. Extra -quality
concrete drain tilemust have a
.-crushing_ _strength._ _ of :•_ 1 -,100 --
pounds • per lineal' foot: A
"special -quality concrete drain
tile is nlanuftured from special
cement . to withstand acid or
sulfate soils:
on .the inside, be, approximately
circular and straight, and have
smooth butt ends. brain tile
should give a clear ring when
held free of the ground and
•upped with a light metal object.'
Extra -quality drain tile , is
usually used indeep, wide
trenches. A specification' for
plastic drainage tubing has been
accepted; however, because of
the- properties of til material,
the tests, for this product cannot
be directly compared .with those
used for clay and concrete drain'
tile.

Two points are being
stressed
* The .Promotion of
compulsory, • -periodic - motor
vehicle inspections ' - for . aIi'•

coast to coast; •
* The moral and legal
responsibility • of, motorists for
the safe mechanical condition of

they live in those provinces or
areas, where mandatory -car
checks are in force.
CSC President Norman H.

campaign . aimeat convincing
motorists of the need to keep
• their vehicles . in safe• condition
during the campaign and
throughout the year.
"Traffic deaths and injuries

10 per cent if all cars were in
such good mechanical condition
that they would -do what ' the

The , ' L ,Tic• lieairing , e
Legislave Committee on
Tourism, Wildlife and Fisheries
o Car ec are widely known as -the
"wolf -hearings." 'This 'week at
the annual -hearings in Toronto
opposing factions advanced
arguments from' manypoints of
views
Dr. Martin Edwards, President
of the Federation of Ontario
Naturalists, stated _ at the
hearings that Ontario has the
unique distinction of possessing
within its' boundaries one of the
-few areas in North Anierica
where large numbers of people,
may easily hear timber wolves: -
He urged that the wolf be
recognized= -ns -a valuable'part of:
our wilderness heritage and be
given the same level ' of
protection as other ' game
animals. The . anachronistic
bounty program should also be
terminated as ineffective and
biologically unsound.
A number of studies - and
surveys 'of accident ' causation
point the finger directly at the
individual for vehicle failures.
The great•..•.....:,_percentage of
accidents • due to vehicle
malfunctions can be traced back
.to the owner'•s abdication of
responsibility for the upkeep' Of
Ehis car.
Individual responsibility -
"It's Up to You" - is the key to
success of "Check- Your-Car--

Helpful Hints .. .
from Miss Classified
During the past 10 years the
Points System has affected
600,000 Ontario drivers. That:is -
the number who have been
warned by letter, interviewed or
-suspended.
In 1969, 8Q,000 drivers were
given re-examinations. •
Since' October 1968
certificates of mechanical fitness
have been required before car
ownership can be transferred. I.n
1969 there were 70,000 fewer
transfers between individuals';
40,000 fewer between dealers.
The mew. regulations have
created ' some -.problems, but'
•seem to be having the desired
effort in. removing.. some. of the.- -
unsafe cars from Ontario roads.

duimped somewhere,
presumably, but not in .Ontario.

M`otori'sts! Know what to` do
if a tire blows while you're
travelling at Highway speed?
The Ontario Driver's
Handbook -says ... Don't jam on
° the brakes. Instead, take your
4+
foot off the accelerator
concentrate on steering and let
your ear roll to a safe stop..
Remember, jamming on the
brakes when.a tire blows could
cause your car to overturn.
