At least two collisions occur in “a typical crash: the first between a yehicle and whatever it hits: the second one a fraction of a second later when the vehicle's occupants. smash into parts of its interior. The first collision damages the vehicle; the second can seriously injure or even kill the occupants. That's because a crash brings the vehicle to an abrupt halt, but unre- Strained Occupants Continue mov- ing at the pre-collision speed.

If you're wearing a seat belt, however, the crash forces are spread over your body, reducing or eliminating the impact of the human collision. This greatly increases your chance of surviv- ing the crash and avoiding seri- ous injury. A seat belt algo keeps you inside the car, should a crash occur. Doors often fly open in a collision and unrestrained occu- pants can be flung from the vehi- cle onto the roadway. The chances of being killed are 25 times greater if you're ejected from the car. Another benefit of buckling up is that you'll be held in your seat, so that you can maintain control of your vehicle in a crash, pro- tecting your passengers and other traffic on the road. Some people don't bother wearing a seat belt when they're travelling in the back seat, believing that the rear of the front seats will protect them in a collision. It's more likely, however, that unbelted rear seal passengers will be slammed into the driver or other occupant, possibly injuring them, or will be catapulted through the windshield onto the road Buckling up every time you get into a motor vehicle is the easiest way to help reduce the staggering human and financial toll of traffic crashes,which each year kill more than 500 people, injure another 33,000 and add about $1.5 billion to our health care and justice sys- tem costs in BC 00 p.m. 00 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 — 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Dozens of Instruments on Display PTD VVtsseeevieneneniet og PTTViteerteeeenneenneied wn 3 MILES EAST OF TRAIL ON HIGHWAY 3B NEW — USED — RECONDITIONED — REBUILT TRADE-IN'S — ONE OF A KIND ITEMS ~ DEMONSTRATORS — BALDWIN — HAMMOND - KURZWEIL — CASIO — ~ WURLITZER — YAMAHA — 3RANDS — VERTICALS — UPRIGHTS — ORGANS — KEYBOARDS - DIGITAL PIANOS —- ACCESSORIES - — COMPUTER SOFTWARE Come Early for Best Selection!

Volunteers WantedlII wW/ § Author wins acclaim Herb Hammond's Seeing The Forest Among the Trees (Polestar, $46.95) has won this year’s Rod- erick Haig-Brown regional prize for the: bdok which best con- tributes to the understanding and appreciation of British Columbia. Hammond will be at the Beaver Valley Library on Friday night at 7:30 to discuss his work Seeing The Forest Among the Trees is essentially a forest ecolo- gy text that has taken a lot of complicated topics and made them understandable in an attrac- tive, easy-to-read format. It is a significant and lengthy work, worthy of serious consider- ation by both laypersons.and pro- fessionals. Some will dismiss Ham- mond’s book as listic non- jobs, rather than replacing them with machines and technology. The combined effort could triple or quadruple forest jobs, says Hammond, while at the same time reducing the annual timber harvest between 50 and 75 per cent. "We have a scarce resource,” he says. “The world doesn’t have a lot of the high-quality fibre we still have in B.C.” Hammond's concept of holis- tic resource use -is not new. It has sustained indigenous people for untold thousands of years. It stems from a belief that the forest and all its inhabitants, the environment and everything dependent on it for survival, must be viewed as one unit, and that a single resource cannot be exploited at the risk of sense, but Hammond says: “I selected, just like anyone does, science that represents what I feel to be closest to the truth about how a forest works.” If Hammond's ideas were implemented on a large scale in B.C., we would likely see a total restructuring of the forest industry and a massive redistribution of timber cutting rights. Hammond says his solutions are based on éstablishing four priorities; The first is to keep the forest ecosys- tem healthy. The second is to make as many jobs as possible out of every tree cut. The third is to engage in diverse activities; “doing other things with the forest to generate jobs instead of jut talk- ing about timber management.” The fourth is to strive to provide ing the others. Hammond is a registered professional forester with a Bach- elor of Science in forest science and forest science management He also has a Master’s degree in forest ecology and silviculture. Hammond has worked for timber giants Weyerhauser and Crown Zellerbach. BMS Consulting Financial Counselling and Goal Setting Brenda 365-3487 THIS WEEK ONLY ...
