(Shelley McPhee photo) SNOWBOUND: Survivial tips for motorists Each winter brings new stories of motaiirists stranded by blizzards and snowstorms especially here in the Huron County Snowbelt. According to the Ontario Safety League, all motorists should carry basic winter survival equipment in the car. Together with jumper cables, salt or sand to provide traction, your basic survival kit should include the following ingredients: 1. A shovel or hoe to im- prove your chances off freeing your car. 2. A couple of wool blankets to provide warmth. Make maximum use of body heat by sharing the blankets. 3. Matches, candles, or containers of canned heat and a coffee can to melt snow for drinking water - never use unmelted snow as a substitute for drinking water. The candle and can could also double as a foot warmer. 4. A couple of plastic bags can provide excellent protection from wind if it is necessary to go outside the car. Just cut out head and arm holes and slip them over the shoulders However, leaving your car should only be done when absolutely necessary. 5. A flashlight will provide light if you are forced to stay in your car overnight. It can also be used to signal your location to rescuers. Medical authorities say alcohol is not a good survival item. It causes dilation of blood vessels close to the skin, speeding up boss of body heat. To extend your gas and heat supply, run your engine about ten minutes in the hour. Keep a downwind window open a crack for ventilation when the engine is running. Make sure the tail pipe is clear of fumes. Don't overlook newspapers as survival aids. They can be wrapped around the feet or placed on the floor for extra insulation. There are, of course, items that drivers should always carry no matter what the season: a chair or a stout rope for towing and flares to mark off the highway in case of an emergency or accident. Although it is a frightening experience to be stranded during a ° blizzard, try to remain calm. Panic is your worst enemy. Calm, reasoned action plus a basic survival kit will keep you alive for a surprisingly long time. lings n the races By Lots Gibbings Bets Fly Fly, a five year old pacing gelding by Fly Fly Byrd - Side Bet by Bet- ting etting Time, owned by Stewart McCall of Seaforth, won in 2:03.4 at Greenwood Raceway in Toronto on Fri- day, December 18.
