Keeping mind on drying will keep driver on road Most .of us like to". think ' that.we are careful drivers. And, we are, most of the time. Some accidents hap; pen to 'drivers who are usually quite careful, but who may have their atten- tion distracted , even for just a moment. t e -e is a check list of some ,,of the most fre- quently encountered dis- tractions compiled by the Canada Safety Council: ri Reaching for some- thing in the glove com- partment while driving. Cure: • Have everything likely to be needed out of glove compartment before starting out, or, purl off the road and stop. • Trying to read a road map while driving. Cure: If driving on unfamiliar territory, fi-st find out exactly where 'you are from street names, high- way signs, or other land- marks. Their pull off the road, .find the location. on your map, :and plot out your next move. • Trying to put on or take off a coat pr jacket while driving. Cure: Stop the car, out of trafl'ii` Ho many drivers have been caught with one arm in a coat wen a traffic signal' turns g een? • Trying to locate an object dropped on .the car floor. This hazard is especially dangerous to smokers, who are aware of fire dangers from a fallen cigarette, or aware of damage that can be done to car seat or cloth- ing. Cure : • Stop the ear, in the case of a cigarette, as quickly as safely possible. Never try 'to save this problem while the' car is moving. • Having clutter o gar- bage oh "' the. car moor. Cure: Always carry a gar- bage collector 'for pop bot- tles, soft drink cans, 'or other items that can Sao easily roll under a pedal'. •• A bug or other insect in the "vehicle. This one 'is prevalent in summer! Cure: Either take the bite, or stop the 'car, at the first opportunity. Sometimes, driving with windows open can encourage insect to leave -- he's probably just as happy to be out of your car! �• Storage over the sun visor. Once again, the elas- tic or whatever secures items can break, causing -„distractions, or your at- tention can be momentar- ily taken while trying to retrieve an item from this. :. position.

With a little effort, the average car own*r can learn enough of them to avoid minor repair bills' and help prevent major mechanical failures. A new Car Service Man- ual offered' by The Gates Rubber Company 'is' one example of getting this icnow•ledge into the hands of” the motorist. The book is described as "the book professionals use."., This 132 -page, illus- trated. guide covers every- thing from servicing air conditioning systems to replacing windshield wiper blades. The book can be ordered by mail from Gates, using ' the coupon frons, the Gates' ad in this issue. Economy and safety are stressed under such head- ings as Brakes, Emission Control Systems, and Drive Belts. Many of the rnaintenanc.g proce'dures..M.- require no "tools, at all, ... though the book does cov- er such subjects as Auto- matic Transmissiohs, Dif- ferentials and Power Steering which assume some mechanical know- how. .. Imported `and domestic cars,. both front and rear • wheel drive models, are covered. Obviously, a gen- eral guide can't hit all the details that a factory shop manual would, but factory prepared manuals often cost $1b--to-$20 or -more. The Car Service M.arival offered by Gates w•as_orig- inally,•,written to train service station and garage owners and attendants. It covers automotive main- tenance services most. fre- quently performed by these firms and includes -•-• a complete Safety Inspec- tion Section. Abundant use of illus- trations permits the man- ual to serve m a "picture story" of the service, being performed. This visual as- sistance aids the car awn- er, student or mechanic in • quickly developing an un- derstanding of the prin- ciples, involved, as well as the easiest method of per- forming the service. "Every car o ner., has the most versatile inspec- tion equipment devised: eyesight and brain poweL," says the manual. "To ef- fectively use this 'equip- merit,' however, the motor- ist must be trained to con- duct. a D ethodical spec - tion, and to evaluate vis- ual evidence." Here's how the manual covers a typical check- point "Flex and examine all brake hoses for cracks, blisters, deterioration. Most cars have three hoses tone at each front wheel; one at .rear axle) . Cars with independent rear sus- pension have two rear hoses. Check threaded connections for leakage or looseness, See that metal pipelines are undamaged and are firmly. attached to frame or axle." • The pates people obvi- o151y ' are , not trying to turn every car owner into a mechanic with this book. They want to make each motorist" more aware of the types of services their car requires and how most of those services are per- formed. This knowledge will let motorists better appreciate the service they are receiving at service stations and garages. Even if the motorist never'makes a single re- pair described in the book, he or she will know what they're getting when they have a mechanic. do the job.

According ,to a recent survey, more than half of the cars in operation today have Min, excess of 50,500 • miles on their odom- eters.

In 1968 only 43 per cent of the cars registered 'more than 50,500 miles. The lat- est study, shows 51 per cent of all cars have ex- ceeded that mileage.
