MARLANE:: HOTEL “John and Jeannie” Insure Ifs Recovery Should — Your Car be Reported Stolen Currently, the odds are about one in 118 that your ear will be stolen, says the B.C. Automobile Association, and these odds are likely to increase if you're away from home on a family vacation. The problem of identifying stolen vehicles after they have been recovered continues to plague police, auto insurance companies and, of course, the ” owner. ‘The BCAA says there is a simple method you ‘canvuse to vastly increase the chances fur getting your -car back if it is stolen—and it costs nothing: Put your personal identifying mark on it, Sixty years ago, dents in fenders or unusual marks or scratches were just about the only clues to ownership. Rarely were the clues more person alized. ‘On one occasion a stolen car was recovered and the local police department called in nine owners of similar models who had reported their ears stoten. ‘One, though, said he had placed a corner of a shoe box under the transmission plate as a washer and that it bore the words “Broadway” and “shoes”. When the transmission plate was removed, there was the cardboard washer. Identifica- tion: Positive. ‘Today, despite widespread use of identification numbers on cars.and-their component parts, ownership is often difficult to prove. Increasingly, thieves are removing manufacturers’ num- bers completely. So the wise motorist must place his own “brand” on his car. The most widely recom: mended method is to etch the licence number in several ob- scure spots with a vibrator pencil. ‘Another technique is to scratch initials into the metal in an inconspicuous area. Or, even simpler, hide.a calling card oF return address label under the floor. mat, behind the instru- ment panel. or beneath a seat. One ingenious owner en- graved his name inside his cat's gasoline cap. Without such a person- alized clue, identification may never be possible, the BCAA says. At best, it could take months. Remember—today's car thieves can go to great lengths to alter a car's appearance. Take the case of the stolen sports car. The thief not only had removed all the manu- facturers’ numbers, but dis- guised the automobile by add- ing a vinyl top and an opera window. Confronted with this odd creation, the true owner, a university student, was reluc- tant to claim it. Time-Tested Winter Driving Tips The winter season is an especially hazardous time for driving. The responsible motor- ist thinks of the bad weather ahead of time and prepares to meet it. These people suffer the least hardships’ and causo the least obstruction to other dri- vers. They follow time-tested winter driying Ups. ‘The first good move is to put your car in the hands of a competent mechan for a com- plete check-up. Have a motor check and tune-up along with a thorough inspection of your car’s safety equipment. The check-up should Inclide the fuel and electrical systems, timing, battery and plugs. A check of your safely equipment should include lights, windshield wi- persand washers, defroster, exhnust, brakes, tires and tire “chains. Make certain the safety > equipment meets the following, standards: Windshield wipers—should have proper tension. Use a good quality washer solution; Defroster—be sure it is - operational; Exhaust—Mofiler and tail- . pipe system should be checked for leaks to prevent deadly carbon-monoxide gas poisoning during cold-weather driving when the windows are closed; Brakes—must be faultless and equalized so there fs no pulling to one side with result; ing skidding; Tires—ensure tires have sufficient tread to bite and grip. Keep tires at recommended pressure—low pressure does not improve traction, only increases tire wear, Snow tires inerease traction in soft snow and studded tires can be legally used in British Columbia from Oct. 1 to April 30 of the next year. Emergency’ equipment in the car should include a shovel, bucket of sand, tow chain, booster cables, tire chains and emergency flares and lights. A seraper is a must: Being prepared takes a lot less time and effort than the . delays, inconveniences, acci- dents and frustrations of being hopelessly stuck in a winter storm. . “ ; Ladies’ Curling Club Canadian Legion eraebrmenmennien Thirfy-Two Rinks Compefing By Jeanette Horning ‘This weekend the Castle- gar Ladies’ Curling Club hosts {ts annual bonsplel.

Presently much help is- being given the society by expertise from Selkirk College, help which ordinarily means extra “Without this type of help extra costs would have to be borne by the society,” says Mr. Oglow. Calling attention that other centres have experienced rent increases, Mr. Oglow stated rents are established by the two governments, federal and provincial. “Up to now the society has had no instruction for increases,” he said. He expressed the opinion that the tenants have assisted greatly in keeping the costs down by not making. excessive demands for improvements, requesting only that work which is necessary tothe upkeep of the Villa.
