According to the Garage Op- erators Association of Ontario, one of the major items on your car that you should -check is the exhaust system. Odorless carbon monoxide, seeping into a car's interior from a defective exhaust sys- tem, can cause headache, un- consciousness and even death to an occupant when the gas is in concentrations of just a few hundredths of a per cent. G.O.A. claims that a concen- tration of 1000 parts per mil- lion (.10 per cents) can cause death after an hour and a half. Isn't that a good reason to make sure your muffler, ex- haust and tailpipes are not cor- roded and leaking? Besides the safety factor, says the association, there is an im- portant economic reason for having a healthy exhaust as- sembly. .G.O,A. explains -that gas pres- sure builds up in all mufflers. Excessive build-up of this pres- sure tends -to push back into the engine and act as a brake against full driving power. Back pressure, says the asso- ciation, can reduce built-in per- formance by as much as 45 hp and actually .reduce 'miles -per - gallon as much as 10 per cent. Surveys show that one out of every three cars an the road requires exhaust system service. Is yours one? ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS TV VIEWS Parliament will be faced with some facts from ACTRA, the performers' and writers' union for English-language broadcast- ing, Here are a few: CTV pro- duces 31 hours of programs a week in Canada, while import- ing more than 60 hours a week from the US. and Britain, The CBC will receive $140 million in government grants and less than 4 per cent will be spent on English-language writers and performers. Canada spends more than $20 million a year on L.S, programs for Canadian TV, and the U.S. spends noth- ing here, The list goes on. Does ACTRA want more money spent on more Canadian programs? Do they want an increase in the present 55 per cent Canadian - content law? The ratings show that people want to be entertained all the time, not educated, The next item in this column will prove this point. Let's hope that parliament will not pay boo much attention to this matter, Television has never been better. There is still room for improvement, but we must not force programs on the people for the sake of say- ing that they were written, pro- duced and performed by Cana- dians living in Canada, * 'Movies took four of -the top ten spots in the latest national Nielsen rating which was taken in August and just released. Bonanza was first, with Thurs- day Night and Saturday Night Movies in second and third positions. Number four was Gomer Pyle, and Lawrence Welk was fifth. Saturday Night Movies and Tuesday Night mov- ies placed sixth and seventh, with Hogan's Heroes in eighth spot. Andy Griffith and Family Affair were tied for ninth.
