( Photo by Fred Bisset) Avoid abrupt changes in speed on slippery roads The secret of moving safe- ly on slippery winter sur- faces is to avoid abrupt changes in speed or direc- tion, says the Ontario Safety League. Keep your eyes well ahead of your car so you can \ anticipate lane changes and turns and make them gradually. Don't follovrtoo closely — you need all the margin for error that you can get when roads are unpredictable. Slow down when ap- proaching intersections or highway exits. Be wary of warming trends. Ice is twice as slip- pery at minus k 1 degree celsius as it is at minus 12 degrees. Ice patches in areas shaded by trees or under- passes can catch you by, sur- prise. If you hit an icy spot,— ease up on the gas, hold the wheel steady and roll through. If you do start to slide, don't panic and don't hit the brakes. Take your foot off the gas and turn your wheels in the direction you want to go. When you feel the skid is corrected, straighten your wheels. When slowing the car Program assists farmers Since the OntariO Farm Adjustment Assistance Pro- gram was announced, more than 3,000 farmers have received financial assistance through the pro- gram's -three options.• The total of the loans covered under each option, to date, is: $267,768 under the interest deferral option A; $570,894,488 under the in- terest rebate option B and $38,808,147 under the loan guarantee option C. Farm Tax Rebate Announced Borne news 'reports have said that the minimum re- quirements for ' farm tax rebates are based on sales they are not. This point is clarified below. Under the new plan, the minimum requirement to qualify would be raised from a gross production value of $5,000 to $8,000 for 1982 and 1983. When the new tax system is in plaie in 1984, 'minimums would be $12,000 in southern Ontario and $8,000 in eastern and nor- thern Ontario. down on a slippery surface, squeeze the brakes by pushing down on them slow- ly until they begin to lock, then let up and repeat the process. The old method of pump braking can actually cause the'newer disc brakes to lock because they do not release as quickly as the old drum brakes. Squeeze brak- ing is not likely to lock up either kind of brake and also lets you feel what the car is doing and sense a lockup right away. The League ad- vises drivers to practice the squeeze braking technique away from traffic to get a feel for how it affects ,your car. Of course, the best advice for winter driving is to do everything more slowly. GODERICH SIGNA1(.4TAX, wgpmDAY, DFMM.:B.F.R 0, 19192 ---PAGE 9 Program announced by Miller expected to create 38,000 jobs Ontario Treasurer Frank Miller announced plans for an extensive $150 million provincial job ,creation pro- gram designed to create some 38,000 jobs in the mon- ths ahead. To stimulate employment throughout the province, On- tario will commit $100 million to participate m co- operative job -creation in- itiatives with the federal government under their New Employment Expansion and Development program. Miller also announced that an additionaL$50lliomwill_ be allocated by the Ontario government towards direct job creation projects. "Although responsibility for national fiscal and monetary policy remains with the federal govern- ment," he explained, "we believe that all levels of government must co-operate in order to make the best use of public resources in this troubled economic climate. "Through the joint pro- gram with Ottawa, we estimate that some 30,000 temporary jobs will be created in Ontario over the next year," he said, "and a substantial portion of this fund will be directed to local government projects." Under this co-operative program, job creation pro- jects will be developed on a regional basis and could in- clude such activities as reforestation, construction, energy conservation, com- munity services, tourism development and improve- ment of facilities for the han- dicapped. These projects may he sponsored by government departments and agencies, municipalities, voluntary non-profit organizations, private sector businesses and unions. Miller added that On- tario's direct $50 million job creation program will create an estimated additional 7,500 jobs. The $50 million program has two components: a $40 million allocation for labor- intensive, minor capital works projects such as need- ed renovations to hospitals and schoois; and an addi- tional $10 million for co- operative programs under the Unemployment In- surance Act to provide jobs and training opportunities for some .unemployment in- surance recipients. Miller noted, "The WO million initiative, to be co- ordinated by the Board of In- dustrial Leadership and Development (BILD), is a positive step in relieving economic hardship in On - Peter S.
