DECEMBER 7. 1978 Be ready for winter stops Each winter brings new stories of motorists stranded by blizzards and snowstorms, and Ontario seems to have had more than its fair share off such conditions in recent years. 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 improve your chances of freeing your car; 2, Two wool blankets to provide warmth. Make maximum use of body heat by more than -one person sharing a blanket; 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. In fact, many authorities suggest that the heat from a single candle is sufficient to prevent freezing in snowbound vehicle; . 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 be done only when ab- solutely necessary.; 5, a flashlight , will provide light if you are forced to stay in your car over- night. It can also be used to. signal your location to rescuers. 4Medicalautliorities say alcohol is not a good survival item. It causes dilation of blood vessels close to the skin, speeding up loss 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 run- ning. Make sure the tail pipe is clear of snow, otherwise the interior of the car may fill with deadly exhaust fumes. Don't overlook newspapers as excellent insulation.material. They can be wrapped, around the feet or placed on the floor for extra insulation. Drivers operating throughout Northern Ontario carry a lot more survival equipment in their cars and truck than the few items mentioned here. Their kits might also include a small pot, packaged soup, • knife, fork and spoon, an axe, tea bags, sugar, and sleeping bags. Some even carry a portable propane stove. There are, of course, items that drivers should always carry no matter what the season: a chain or a stoutxope for towing, 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, you must 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.
