Prepare for slippery season ahead Snow and icy roads annually create worry and havoc among motorists. The | slippery season means it is time to take steps to min- imize the fender-bending and tire. spinning effects of the weather by taking some common-sense preventative measures. ‘i The two obvious ones‘ are tomake sure good winter tires are fitted to your car and that the anti-freeze is up to doing its job. — Use a rag to wipe your soles when you slide into the driver seat during snowy : weather. A slippery foot can skid off the’brake and cause an accident, — Carry a ‘supply of sand, ashes or rock salt to aid traction in case you get stuck. An old burlap bag or * blanket will also do. — Carrying a shovel is a good idea, but using it too vigorously isn’t. Hospitals report hundreds of heart at- tacks every ‘winter by “snowed-in motorists. — Add a good fuel- additive to ‘your car's gas tank from time to time to — Don't let the fuel tank run too low. The more gas in it, the less chance of con- densation and fuel line freez- ing. — If you are stranded in an unfamiliar place during a snow storm stay with the car. — Keep tires inflated at pressures. Letting some air out does not im- prove traction as some peo- ple believe. Underinflated : tires will cause premature . wear. — Never leave your en- : i gine running while you. are j asleep ii in a closed vehicle. — When the road is : slippery, maintain a substan- } tial distance between your car and the vehicle in front. — Use low beam when : driving in snow. High beam : will only blind the on-coming : drivers, When starting a car ina garage, keep the doors open while the engine is running. Skill and good judge- ment are musts on icy.or ; snow-covered roads. Keep + speed down and try to anti- : eipate stops — yours and the traffic ahead. Remember that :, intersections might be extra : slick because of the polishing effect of stopping and start- ? ing traffic. Slow down gradually. Hard, sudden braking can lock your brakes and throw you intoa-skid. Increase your following distance. In traffic 2 it is the extras that count,—. 2 Extra Time and Extra Space. You need both to make a safe * stop on winter roads. (Studded tires can be legally used in British Col- umbia from Oct. 1 to April 30 of the next year.)

You're following the ad- jow to ward off that all-too-common com- plaint, the backache, It says so on Page 162 of The Back Doctor, written by Dr. Hamilton Hall,’ an ortho- pedic surgeon at. Toronto.

Eight{ of 10 Canadians suffer backa¢he at some time, he says, and four per cent have chronic pain . because “our whole society lives wrong.” OLD TACTICS WORKED We could get rid of backaches though, Hall says. “I could tell people to give up their mattresses, to carry out their garbage cans on their heads, But people don't do it.” Ihave to tailor prevention to society's format.” Too bad, because some strategies that help - of: the tactics of the past worked:. well, Hall says. There was the Prussian peb- ble, a block which soldiers . + squeezed between their but- tocks. It forced them to stand with a modified tilt so they could stand at attention for a long time with no backache. The cavalry in days of “yore wore cummerbuitds, not for style but support so they could ride longer without back pain. Hall didn't intend to be a back doctor. After studying ‘ at the University of ‘Toronto, He found himself in his office teaching exercise tech- niques to back patients, up to | 12a day. Later, with a physi- | otherapist and psychiatrist, joining him, Hall designed a three-lecture course. By 1975 it pad a three-month waiting, lis Apart from $700 donated by* Women’s’ College "'Hos- ‘pital, there was no money to run the course. “Then all of a sudden we were given a pri- vate donation, $5,000 from a patient, {t was marvellous."
