‘cently arrived in the Castlegar

A sports car that is only
one of 16 produced {and only
the second of its kind in North
America) is the proud: posses.
sion of a Warfield man.

Ken’ Coupland owns «the
$35,000 vehicle, racing it in the

. circuit organized by the Intor-

national Conference of Sports
Car Clubs in B.C, Alberta,
Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon and California.

Built by Derek : Bennett.
Engineering of’ England, Mr.
Coupland had the Chevron B-16
in Castlegar on Monday for'a
regular wheel alignment job at’
H & R Brake and Wheel. Com-
mented the sports car enthusi-
ast: “When you're travelling at
186 mph, wheel alignment is
rather vital”

Mr. Coupland follows |a
circuit which sees racing taking
place every second week from
early April through to the third
week of October.

"Events. vary from 30-

+ minute sprint races (“where

you go as fast as you can for
half-an-hour") to -endurance
races of two to seven hours in,
length. One weekend he might
be in Vancouver, two weeks
later he'll be racing in Cali-
fornia.

This weekend the Chevron
B-16 will be entered in the
sports racing class at the
International Raceways meet
at Seattle, Wash. The Coupland

-ear is always entered in the

sports racing class, a class fn
which any other cars from

‘sedans to larger-size vehicles

are permitted to race. In the

+ ICSCC circuit, the Warfield car
has been class champion two
%; years in a row,

The red racing car- gets,
four to six miles per gallon of
fuel-and can use regular pump,
gas withan additive required to
boost the octane rating. It has
four separate sets of wheels {at
$100 a tire) for different cli-
matic driving conditions, and
could be driven on the high:
ways if it had a muffler since it
has windshield wipers, signal
lights, a horn and headlights. <:

Dear Ann: 1 won't bore you with w unnecessary details, He is almost
26 and I am 92, He wants to marry me. Will it work?

T've always been a selfreliant gal—chose a ance over
marriage and motherhood. I was sure I had made the right
decision until a year ago, Suddenly, all my cool indifference melted

under the warm gaze of a palr of very brown eyes, I felt like the
‘Yeenager I never was,

T have kept him at arm's length—rejected his proposals a

dozen times. My common sense tells me not to make a foo! of
myself, But my heart tells me I want him more than I've ever
wanted anything in my life,

I keep saying, “You idiot, when you're 40 he'll be 94. When
you're 60 he'll be 44," ete, I know he loves me and I love him. Is
that enough?

My doctor (a wonderfully intelligent man) married a woman
eight years his senior, That marriage has lasted 87 years. It gives
me hope. What do you say, Ann Landers?

—Still Hesitating In Brandon, Manitoba
Dear Still: Say “Yes"—and soon—or one fine day, instead of
playing the numbers game you'll wake up and ay to yourself, “I
am 84 and the man I love married somebody else,

With women outliving men from four to six years, it makes
sense to marry a younger man, Happy Sane, bossa, sweetie!
Send me a posteard from Lake  Loulse

Dear Ann Landers: Five ie ago my ae surprised me with
a beautiful fur jacket for my birthday. I thought it was all paid for.
Yesterday a man from the finance company showed up at the door.

: It seems my husband still owes $210 on the jacket, The finance
man said I had to come up with the money within 10 days. He
wasn't very nice about it, either.

T've worn the jacket a lot and showed him it could never be
passed off as new, if that's what the furrier has in mind. I also told
him we don’t have the money right now and he can't get blood out
of a turnip.

What can the finance company do, Ann?

—Mad,
Dear Mad: They can jake! the turnip’ 's fur jacket.

Dear Ann Landers: Last night my father said: “Ifa person tempts
aiid eau causes another person to sin, then one is just as guilty as the
other.”

The example he used was that if a person puts cash money
into an envelope and mails the letter, and the person who handles
the letter in the post office opens it and takea the money, then both
are guilty. *

‘I disagreed because the person who handles the letter in the
post office has a free will to take the money or leave it alone. Who.
is right, Ann Landers? 3

—Strongly Opposed To Unearned Guilt
Dear Strongly: You are. Temptation is all around us, every day of
our lives. The person who intentionally tempts or tries to entrap is
as guilty as the law-breaker, but. in, most instances of wrongdoing,
entrapment is not a factor.

Anyone who sends a significant amount of cash in the mails
may be foolish, but he does not deserve to be branded a crook.

National Safe Boating Week July 1-7

CASTLEGAR NEWS, Friday, July 2, 1976

Cold Water Can Kill - Learn to Survive

July 1-7 is National Safe
Boating Week in Canada, and
the B.C, Safety Council wants
to remind all boaters of the
potential dangers which can ac-
company careless operation of
their boats,

In cold water the skin and
outer tissue cool rapidly, but it
takes 10 to 16 minutes before
the temperature of the heart
and brain begins to cool, This
lowered deep body tempera-

-ture is called hypothermia and

is a common cause of death
after immersion in cold water.

All boaters should be a-
ware of the factors that deter-
mine body cooling’ rate and
eventual death fron hypother-
mia. Without such knowledge,
one is not giving sufficient care

to this vital aspect of water
safety!

Predicted survival time is
about 2 1/2 to 3 hours in water
of 10°C, Survival time is
increased by extra body fat and
decreased by small body size.
Women generally coo) faster
than men due to their usual
smaller body size, and children
coo! much faster than adults.

Several hints to help sur-
vive in cold water when wear-

Ing a life jacket are es follows: _

1, Swimming does not help
to keep warm. Results of
practical tests show that the
average person swimming cools
faster than when holding still.

2. Certain regions of the
body have high rates of heat
loss while a person is holding
stil! in cold water, namely the

head (which is normally out of
the water), the sides of the
chest {where there Is little
muscle or fat), and the groin
area, If an effort is made to
reduce body heat loss, these

regions deserve special atten-
fon,

8. Two behaviors will help
in attempting to reduce heat
loss from the aforementioned
critical areas or body regions:

The’ Brownle vehicle was

certeria when the collision
occurred. reaulting in approxi-
mately $150 damage to the
Grifone vehicle.

sustained an estimated $600, No injuries ere reported.

8) Assuming a feta! posl-
tion or holding the side of the
arms tight against the slde of
the cheat and raising the
thighs.

b) When two or more per-
sons are in the water huddling

" together is a good means of

reducing body heat loss, es-
pecially when a huddle is
formed so that the sides of the
chest of different persons are
held close together,

Alcohol consumption does
not help survival and should
never be given to a person
suffering from hypothermia,

‘The B.C. Safety Council
wants everyone to have a safe,
enjoyable summer on the water

that “Safe Boating is no, Ac-
cident.” ae

Medley Harth of Louis-
