Auto repairs cost more because parts cost more, and labor costs more, The Canada Safety Council suggests as a result that the vehicle owner should be de- fensive—he/she should have the vehicle inspected frequent- ly by a qualified individual so that defects might be corrected before extensive and expensive repairs are unavoidable. The council calls it ‘De- fensive Maintenance’. “It is just like defensive driving”, accord- ing to the Safety Council—“You take the necessary precautions to stay. out of trouble.” Citing the most commonly overlooked defects—steering, brakes, tires, and exhaust—the council points out that a major fault developing in the first three of these can result in the serious accident, and huge expenses. A fault in the fourth can be fatal, even when driving at 5 mph wearing safety belts, since nothing protects against poisonous gas that can come spewing from a faulty exhaust system. At the same time, each driver can check other safety items frequently—winds-shield wipers for clean and proper operation, lights and turn sig- nals, horn and mirrors.

Be- lieve it or not it didn't settle a thing for when the scores were totalled at the end they were identical—60 strokes and 19 putts each! Of course Bert claimed a moral victory, saying his handicap was higher than mine, but I-simply ignored that. Now ¢ is clamoring for a return match and it is my turn to play the delaying tactics. that he used 80 effectively for the last couple of months. I know he is away this week so I have a slight breather. I will now play. him when I feel reat, 8 and, believe me, “It's My Turn.’ Not only were we anta- gonists on the course, but we were collaborators off it. The game was strictly “least putts” and resulted in terrific sand- bagging and keen rivalry. man for the morning was Earl LeRoy with a total of 16 putts while Bert and I brought up the rear with 19. Other bail winners wre Jim Kelly, Ira Hendrickson, Otto Walker Sr., Bill Naylor, Pete Murphy, Ernie Carkner, Joe Cushner, Bob Wadey and Mike Verzuh. Pete Soberlak was given a ball by mistake but there will probably be another mistake and Pete might lose one. That's life, Pete. week's competition will have been run by Claude Bissell and Reg Symons, SYAO, and when these two get their heads together one can be sure of something strange coming up. Incidentally, a brand new member was intro- duced to the boys last Wednes- day. He is Marshall Townes and he intends to be a regular from now on. On Wednesday night of last week, the game was Irons Only and 60 golfers took part. However, according to the tally sheet only 59 paid so it means that one golfer hasn't kept up with the honor system. This had been a problem at one time but it looked as though it had been licked and that all the players were honest.” Maybe this time was an oversight. I sincerely hope so. Everything else ran smoothly under the eagie eyes of John Mills, Otto Walker, Walter Janiki, Frank Zentner. and Leo Bosse.

A very pleasant Interlude to the evening’s events was the visit to the course of our old friend Peter Young’a dad, also named Peter. This is the fourth visit the Youngs have made from thelr home in East Kil- bride, Scotland, and they like it more and more each time they come, One of these days they might become regulars, who, knows? e Last week I told you about Danny Walker being picked for the B.C, Junior “B” team for interprovincial tournament. competition. Danny is back and I had quite a chat with him Monday. He was full of praise for the way in which the lads were treated while at the coast, "Besides the golf they. were guests at a swim party and a CFL football game between the B.C. Lions and, I believe, the Toronto Argonauts. The first day of play was strictly a team effort and B.C. finished on top with 6 points, Alberta had 3 while poor old Saskatchewan was skunked. Second and third days were individual match play affairs and Danny had the honor of scoring the lowest round of the entire affair, a red hot 72. Overall he finished fourth in in- dividual scores with 235, four strokes off the winner's pace. I understand from a dif- ferent source that Danny had had the misfortune to hit a tee marker and finished with a double bogey on that particular hole. This happened in the round in which he shot the 72 and could have been the difference between fourth and low score. * Danny won't be eligible for this competition next year on account of age, but he will still be trying rea! hard to make the “A” team. That is really some- thing to aim for but you can do it, Danny. An Open Letter to.

Up to now there has been a stupendous amount of work done but there have been too many freeloaders enjoying the results without eonttbutiog towards them and this has to be changed.

City council was informed by Major B.E. Crow of the Armed Forces at Chilliwack that the army will remove the dam at a nominal coat of $1,250. Council, along with the Rod and Gun Club and Chamber of Commerce, have been attempting for years to have the dam removed to clear the way for fish to spawn. More pressure has been exerted in recent months be- cause other spawning grounds will be blocked by. the im- pending Revelstoke Dam pro- that will onable the effort to be - ject, The choice is yours. Up to the present you have been enjoying the cheapest golf in the interior and on one of the finest golf courses in the same area. ‘The army originally agreed t© take on the project of removing the Illecillewact Dam, once the city’s lone source of power, as a field exercise but later withdrew the offer be- cause of other priorities, B.C. Hydro subsequently offered the city $46,000 to carry out the demolition project—a price estimated by a private contractor—but the city re- jected the offer and tossed the matter back into Hydro's lap. But last week Major Crow sald he is writing to his super- fora for permission to take on the project, subject to certain conditions. “It will offer an oppor- tunity for one of my officers to plan and direct a project that will foster a sense of accom- ‘plishment within the unit as well as providing a worthwhile service to the community,” he said. The army would demolish the dam in sections, using a minimum of explosives in each section. Major Crow said ‘that the spray of cement pieces from the blasting would be minimal and damage would be slight. CASTLEGAR NEWS, Friday, August 6, 1976 BUSINESS While the army would pick up the tab for the manpower and equipment used on the project, other direct costs of $1,250 for explosives and scaf- folding would have to be borne by “other interested parties.” Major Crow said the army is prepared to proceed with the project next February.
