Monkton, Ontario. 347-2796 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1985 -Page 19 Nagging questions The deer hunt is well past, but there were some nagging questions which came up dur- ing it and I now have the full answers. The questions concerned the draw, since it seemed as if a lot of local people missed out this year. The main concern was that people from out of the area could apply to hunt in several of the controlled hunts, and then pick the one that suited them best. There didn't seem to be any way to prevent this happening, so 1 spoke to Ken Malhiot from the Wingham Ministry of Natural Resources about it. According to Ken, all the names for the controlled hunts are fed into the computer in Toronto, and any duplicates are automatically rejected. "If we did it by hand," Ken said, "we'd never catch it, but the computer kicks thein out automatically. They go into the rejected list along with those forms which are filled out improperly and the people who didn't fill out the man- datory reports. The people involved are not notified and would simply assume that they. •had not been drawn." So, for those of you who were wondering, there's the answer. Camping is cheaper An interesting fact about vacation camp- ing came to light recently, and 1 felt you might like to hear about it as well. The study was done in the U.S ., so a little conversion in dollars and gallons, etc. • could be necessary. The main point of the study is pretty universal however. So, you're thinking about using a camping trailer for that ,next .family vacation, but first, you'want honest nswers to a couple of -hard questions: Can I tow a well-equipped camper with a small car? How much money can 1 save'? Until recently, there was no objective study to provide answers to those queries. Naturally Speaking By Steve Cooke Now, the United States Auto Club (USAC) has completed a test that showed a family of four can save almost $80. a day by travelling with a camping trailer instead of making the same trip with meals in fast food restaurants and lodging in inexpensive motels. The independent USAC organization was commissioned by Starcraft, a company that has been making fold down campers for more than 20 years. USAC took a new, 17 -foot fold down Star - craft camper and hitched it to a 1982 Pontiac J-2000 4 -door with a four cylinder engine. The car had no air shocks or any other specialtowing equipment. The object was to find out three things: First, what is the effect of towing on gas mileage? Second, what are the practical economies of fold down camping versus motels and restaurants'? And finally, can a small, standard four cylinder car handle a luxurious, five -sleeper camper- like the 17 - foot Starcraft? USAC employee, John Banks, took his wife and two teenage sons on identical six- day trips. Each trip consisted of 1,479 miles through the deserts and mountains of "California, Nevada and Arizona. The course took them an average of 247 miles per day from 1. os Angeles, to I,as Vegas, then to the Grand Canyon, up to Zion National Park,. through Death Valley and finally back to Los Angeles. On the first trip, the Banks stayed in family -type motels and ate in fast 'food restaurants. During the second tip,., they towed the Starcraft camper, camped in it and ate all of their meals m it. Their grocery list didn't cut corners, and the Banks dined on such things as charcoal broiled steaks. Banks kept close tabs on the gas mileage over the 1,479 -mile course and found that the car with the camper and gear used an average of 1.03 more gallons of gas for every 100 miles travelled. With a gas price of $1.25 per gallon, that would have cost an extra $18.49 for the entire trip - small change compared to the money saved by camping. By, cooking their own meals and forgoing rnotels, the Banks saved $462.68 - or $77.11 per day. USAC, the organization that is perhaps best known for the respected Mobil gas economy run, certified the carefully documented results. The USAC test answered Starcraft's final questions, as Banks recorded no problems with the smaller car pulling the 897 -pound trailer. . "On the first leg of the trip, I found out what a breeze this Starcraft is to tow," Banks said. He admitted that he'd had some doubts at first. • "I'm used to 'towing with a much larger car and I wasn't sure if this Pontiac could handle the camper," Banks said. "But both performed great." The Banks family also discoveredaddi tional benefits. "Back home in California our busy schedules don't have much roon for family togetherness," said Mrs. Bank:, after the second trip. "Camping is a great way to share as a family - see this great country of ours." Thousands experience skiing injuries You hear the crackle of the soft snow; you feel the crispness of the' wind; you tingle with the warmth of the sun;• you are ex- hilarated with the speed and movement. . Thousands of Canadians will enjoy skiing this year, and may experience one of the many injuries that are so inherent in this sport. It's .not sports that are dangerous '--- it's 'the people who participate in them. According to skiing authorities, about 50 per cent of ,the injuries are equipment - related, while the other 50 per cent are due to poor physical conditioning and negligence. Physical conditioning is important because the energy absorption ability of the bone is .minimal. The skier's primary defence against injury is muscular condi- tioning: Doctors of chiropractic emphasize a direct relationship between lack of condi- tioning and structural injury. Skiing not only requires specialized atten- tion to knee and leg exercises, but also a general good tone of the body. It is the type of sport that requires endurance and struc- tural maneuverability. Equipment should be of high quality con- struction, proper fitting, and well maintain- ed. For example, because some parents con- sider ski -bindings for their children in the category of -"toys," children often have in- terior equipment. The result: a high fre- quency of injuries of the ,bone growth cen- tres among children. • Ski poles have •been the basis for many shoulder and thumb dislocations,. and for muscle problems in the arms. and back. Without pull-away straps, a caught pole ex- erts a tremendous shock on the limb ras the body moves forward with speed. '1'hesKrer must be properly stressed for the activity -" not become chilled or over- heated. 'Poo many or too few clothes can contribute to colds and other respiratory problems. Properly designed ski clothes let you take simple falls without getting wet and without getting hurt. Ski clothes should have a high coefficient of friction, which slows the speed of the skier when he comes into contact with the snow. . Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional at snow•skiing, remember that your body is your machine. 'l'o ,protect it, you must practice safe procedures and keep it operating efficiently. Snowmobile accidents avoidable There are a number of serious snowmobil- ing accidents each, year. Many of these mishaps •could have been avoided if operators had used comlilon sense. Snowmobilers should use their machines the sarne6s• you would a car on a highway. Follow safe driving rules to avoid accidents ' with your snowmobile this winter. "DO I.'1' OUR WAY - IT WON'T HURT" This has 'been a message from the Farm Safety: Association.
