Panic Greatest Enemy

Escape from Submerging Car

All of us naturally dread
the thought of ever. being in-
volved in a traffic accident
where our car is thrown inte a
deep body of water. We are also
concerned to know what to doif
we are asked to help rescue the
occupants of a submerged auto-
mobile.

The B.C. Automobile As-
sociation offers these sugges-
tions if you have the misfortune
to be involved in this kind of
accident, or are in a position to
provide help to someone else
who is involved:

tions, the important thing is to
avoid panic.

e The use of seat belts
increases the chances for sur-
vival of the car's occupants, by
helping them to escape injury
and remain conscious after the
impact of the plunge into water.

e Passenger cars un-
damaged by the impact. will

float about eight minutes, re- ©

gardless of speed, and longer if
the windows have been closed,

e Vehicles which enter the
water wheels-first, at low
speeds between 14 and 16 miles
an hour, will remain afloat for
varying times, usually longer
than eight minutes.

The tighter the body con-
struction of the vehicle, of

course, the longer it will float.

and offer greater opportunity
for safe escape.

@ The easiest way for oc-
cupants to escape the car while

sit is still floating is through a

window. If the side windows
are undamaged, they may be
rolled down after the impact,

Three Ticket
Holders Win
$Million Each
Three tickets worth $1 mil-
lion each were drawn Friday in
The Provincial lottery draw.

Winning numbers worth $1
million were 1151744, 2027875,

\. ‘
* Also drawn were two tick-
ets worth $100,000 each. The
winning $100,000 tickets were
204265 and 1806121.
There was $4,197,000 in

+ prize money for a total of 12,000
. prizes.

This was the first in a series
of monthly draws for the lottery
which previously was held every
two months.

In the new Provincial tot-
tery, each SS ticket is eligible to
win in two consecutive draws.

Tickets issued for Friday's
draw also are eligible for the

Oct. 30 draw and tickets pur-

chased for the October draw
also will be good for the Nov. 27
draw.

Ontario, Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and British
Columbia are participating in
The Provincial through the In-
terprovincial Lottery Corp.

and the escape is a simple
matter.

In a car-floating wheels-
down, the escape should be
made quickly before the water
reaches the windows. ?

hen’ submersion’ is
rapid, remember there is air in
the upper portions of the inside
of the vehicle. The occupants
should stand, calmly, to reach
the air, and escape through the
windows—which may have to
be broken by the heaviest hard
object available.

The rear window is often
best since it is usually manu-
factured of tempered glass and
is easily shattered.

e Neither doors nor win-
dows in a submerged car can be
opened in the ordinary way

until pressure is equalized in-’

side and outside the vehicle—

and this is when the car is:'

practically filled with water.
e Once out of the car
through. the. windows, oc-
cupants who hold their breath
will rise to the top of the water
in a few moments.
Rescuers should try to

help occupants out through the”

windows. It ‘is. a good pre-
caution to'swim to the vehicle
with a heavy. object to break
the rear window.:

Reaching the car quickly is
important, especially . where
you suspect panic on the part of
the occupants—as example, if
they are very. old: or very
young, or injured. They will be
more confused in the attempt to
save themselves,

@ If the occupants are in a
stationwagon with the windows
closed, the rescuers can help
them out through the tailgate.
This is best where the gate can
be manually opened by the oc-
cupants from the inside. ; '
