Traveling Jail-on-Wheels Proves Crime Doesn't Pay A travelling jail-on-wheels exhibit was parked in a down- town, Tampa, Fla., mall recent- ly with proof that crime doesn’t pay. Its main features include anauthentic electric chair and a picture of a man being ex- ecuted. It is one of six converted campers packed with police equipment and touring the country in an attempt to deter juvenile delinquency. “It’s just to show the kids - CALL CONG DISTANCE. AND GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. | When you want to call long distance, but you haven’t got the person's number, you can dial directory assistance to most places in Canada and the U.S. At no charge. For all areas in B.C. not included in your local directory, call 112-555-1212. For areas outside B.C., call 112 + area code + 555-1212. Area codes are listed in the front of your phone book. Once you've got the number you want, remember that most station-to-station calls you dial yourself (112) cost tess. Now, isn’t that something? RCTH® what it’s like to go to jail,” said an exhibit worker. Edward Slavin of New Haven, Conn, created the exhibit 17 years ago, Slavin, a sheriff for 37 years, was at the state's first electrocution and the last hanging. In 1947, Slavin began an antijuvenile delinquency cam- paign, allowing young people who wanted to see what criminal life was like to go through the motions of being arrested, frisked, booked and taken to jail. Then the state took con- tro! of the jails in 1959, it put an ead to the. sheriffs: program and Slavin took iis campaign to the streets with the mobile unit, Slavin has been dead for several years but his work is . being’ carried on by the J. Edward Slavin Foundation of Clinton, Conn. Inside there are police badges from all over the country, a miniature jail cell, a model: of,-a gas chamber, different weapons, a bullet- proof vest, a lie detector, hand- cuffs and a hangman's noase. “Your Floor Covering Centre * Vinyl & Tile Flooring * Custom Draperies Carpeting ied Furniture, Recovering Gordon Wall Ltd. EXPERT INSTALLATION Phone 364-2537 801 Victoria, Trail Dr. Bob Young Years ago, when cars were young and travel] speed was modest, only the rear wheels of automobiles had brakes. The advent of four-wheel brakes, an obvious improvement, was de- erled as being fraught with danger by a.segment of the then motoring public. Their fear? They were convinced that braking the front wheels would cause the car to flip head over heels, Present day opponents of seat belts use equally spurious arguments as reasons for’ re- jecting them. Few people are killed or injured by the initial collision between two vehicles, It is the second collision that ‘is the killer. Occurring a fraction of a second after the first, is the collision of the passengers or driver with parts of the interior of the car. Obviously, if the second collision can be avoided or made less violent, injuries and deaths would be fewer and the road toll would be less horrendous: As many as 115 of the 717 citizens killed on B.C. roads in 1975 would atill be with us if they had been able to avoid the collision.

"The Other Guy.” He's out ‘there some- where and:he can ruln a good weekend. * The British Columbla Med- fcal Association supports the mandatory use of seat belts. . ‘The association's invest- igations confirm the conclusions of’ others, ‘and’ show that injuries are less frequent and tess severe if the car occupant is “buckled up” at the time of a collision, Many people have resisted sont helte—portens the-do-net - hesitate to strap’ themselves into an airplane seat refuse to “do the same in their car, where : the need is so much greater. People take foolish pride in by-passing. the interlock sys- tems, or feel the belts are a nuisance or time-consuming. Six months in a hospital bed is time-consuming too, and being dead even more so. A favorite excuse is fear of being trapped in a burning car, unable to get out because of the belt. This is only Ukely to occur if you are unconsclous and unable to free the belt. With or without a belt, your chances are pretty slim in these circumstances if con- sciousness has been lost. ~ All studies show that seat belts savelives and reduce injuries.
