Therefore, it makes good sense to look after the mechanical innards and protect the outer shell too, by regular washing and Canada's national rustproofing code, aside from setting out respon- sibilities of manufacturers to improve rust prevention, also contains advice for con- sumers on how to clean a car. Some of the tips in- clude: 1. During the summer, wash your car once a week in the shade. Clean the under• side, at the very least, once during and once after the winter, to prevent salt buildup. 2. Start by loosening up the . dirt wit)) a jet of water. Rinse the entire car, then wash off the dirt with a sponge. 3. Use a mild dish detergent, or a specialized car wash product; never use laundry soaps, which are too strong: Lukewarm water is best; avoid hot water, par- ticularly in the winter, when contact with cold metal could cause the paint to nv-o nir Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth or chamois. 5. Use special cleaners to remove bug 'or bird residue and tar. The best wash job is the one you do yourself. Automatic car washes remove surface dirt, but fail to reach underneath the car. They are a practical alter- native for winter, washing, provided the car is dried im- Fbur yearold Kim Martin visited the tractor -trailer called and is sponsored by the Canadian Unity Information Office, 'A Resource -Full Country' parked at the Suncoast Mall all appealed to all age -groups and displayed Canada's last week.

Ballots used in Ontario elections are printed in black with each candidate's name appearing in white. A white circle to the right of the candidate's name and along the edge. -of -the.-ballot,. is reserved for the- viler to mark his or her choice. To facilitate the blind voter, a small notch has been cut into the top edge at the upper right-hand corner of the ballot which will enable a blind voter 'to properly align the ballot face with 'the circles on the right. A notch has also been.cut beside each white circle down the right side of all ballots. With candidates' names printed alphabetically and numbered, the blind voter may have a friend or poll official, read all the names in order as they appear on the ballot. Those blind voters who require other assistance may apply to the Deputy Returning Officer in the polling place. The Deputy Returning Officer, in ac- cordance with the Ontario Election Act, may also assist To hold early polls Three advance polls will be held prior to normalpoll- ing day on March 19 for On- tario's 32nd general election. Advance polling will be carried out on March ,12, March 144 and March 16 — between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. each day. Advance polls are for the convenience of qualified voters whose names appear on the polling lists for their polling divisions and who ex- pect to, be unable to vote on election day. Voters are reminded that they may use any advance poll in their electoral district. They are located in places offering level access or ramps so that elderly or physically handicapped voters may find it easier to vote. Voters may obtain details of advance polls from Retur- ning Officers. • Nursery Stock • Rolling • Fertilizing • Aerifying • Vertieutting • Seeding & Sodding • Instant Shade Trees Mothers Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance 524-244000111 the voter, to mark theballot. A provision in ,election legislation also makes it possible for a friend of the voter, under oath to carry out the blind voter's wishes,, to accompany that person through the voting process. mediately after cleaning. WAXING Car manufacturers recom- mend occasional waxing. The cumulative effect of sun, rain, grit, and temperature 'changes can dull any car's finish' but 'a variety :of pro ducts'can restore the 'sheen. Again, application by hand is the best method. The diluted waxes used in automatic washes do not last long, and can coat your windows with a filen• Thereare separate preparations made for at least five distinct purposes and shoppers should distinguish between rubbing, compounds i restorers 1, polishing compounds (or refinishes), cleaners (also known as polishes), cleaners (also known as polishes), cleaner -waxes ( or one-step waxes) and waxes. • Even a junk -yard car can be shined with a "rrub"binng.. compound. The orange paste contains coarse abrasives which remove dead, oxidized paint, deep stains, and scuff marks. Overly-v7igol'ous rub- bing can remove the paint , down .to bare metal. The .newly exposed layer of paint should be waxed immediate- ly -for -protection. If your ear is not badly -weathered, it does not need such severe treatment. , Polishing compound, a • white paste, . contains finer abrasives, which will smooth shallow stains and light scuff marks. Like rubbing com- .,pounds, this product con- tains little wax and bur- nishes, rather than protects, metal. A cleaner or pre -wax can be a liquid. It shines a car by removing dirt, filling in ir- regularities to drakea smoother .- surface, and depositing a transparent film that gives the top coat a wet look. But it does not pro- tect the shine as long as a wax will. Cleaner -waxes, the most popular type, combine two operations in one, and are often advertised as the "thir- ty minute wax job". They are meant for new and normally -weathered cars, and contain typically, solvents, waxes, detergents and water. Pure wax does not clean or provide the mirror finish of a polish, but protects paint in two ways: lly forming a bar- rier between paint and by keeping moisture out. Waxes may be parrafin, beeswax, ti polyethylene or a montan, and the more expensive brands contain hard car- ' nauba wax from Brazilian palm trees. Wax comes in li- quid or paste form; customarily, liquids spread more easily and pastes longer, but in today's'market the differences are slight. There are special, milder waxes for new and imported cars. ,•••••••••\•.••-••••••,.....,•••• .. 0,011•.•,04.411, h i (AGS).
