Most television viewers ‘are familiar I
with the advertisements in which af
policewoman er weman parachutist unex- !
pectedly launches into an endetsement of a {
revolutionary new fampon. . Similarly |

Wee who bring.those messages inte your
living room say feminine hygiene materials:

| Ihave as much place on the airwaves as any
[oro product, many viewers say the ads°
are in questionable taste. What do you say?

Are feminine fiygione: advertisements

Monofilament Fishing
Line Quiz:

1) Is monofilament stron-
ger or weaker when wet?

2) What makes line
deteriorate?

3) Is line that has taken a
set or kink worn out?

4) Is line stiffer or limper
when wet?

5) Do all knots reduce
line strength?

If you get two or less
right, you should pay more
attention to your gear. Three’
right is average. Four right
means you know a lot about
your gear. Five means you've
either studied line a lot or
have done a lot of fishing and
found these things out the
hard way.

1) Mono is stronger
when wet. Tensil strength is
10 to 15 per cent greater than
when dry. Lines are rated at
“wet” strength.

2) Excessive heat and
ultra violet light (from sitting
in the sun) are the two things
that are hardest on line.
Rocks, sand and sticks will
weaken line through abrasion
or making nicks it, but that
ean happen to brand new line
on the first cast.

3) Not necessarily. It
may simply have taken on
the set by drying out on the
reel. Mono absorbs around
eight per cent water, so the
set can be removed by
getting it wet again. This
re-wetting process can take
several hours.

4) Mono is limper when
wel,

5) Not all knots reduce
line strength. The palomar
and the old faithful double
clinch knot used by salmon
and steelheaders can be just
as strong as the line. Some
knots, and even the clinch or
palomar, can reduce line
strength by 10 to 15 per cent
or more if tied pooriy.

If you cruise far from
home, or even if you stay
within a few miles of your
home port, you'll find a world
of helpful information in the
1979 edition of the Pacific
Boating Almanac.

The Pacific Northwest
edition covers Oregon, Wash-
ington, British Columbia and
southeast Alaska. Harbors,
bars, passages, inlets, bays,
rivers, marinas, launching
ramps, repair shops, radio
telephone information and
even pumpout stations are
among the things listed.

Numerous good aerial
photos and charts supple-
ment the words. Tide tables,
eurrent tables and other
listings vital for cruising are
there. It’s truly an almanac,
with the thousand and one
things a boater wants to
know.

The almanac is available
at marinas, book stores or
from the publisher, Western

$5.95. (U.S. funds for Cana-
dians.)

Don’t drive youngster
to school says BCAA

If you have a child just
entering school for the first
time this fall or enrolled in a
primary grade, consider this
advice from the B.C. Auto-
mobile Association: Don't
drive your youngster to or
from school.

The reason, says the
auto club, is that each driving
parent adds to traffic conges-_
tion around school grounds,
presenting a hazard to small
students. The advice applies
especially in inclement wea-
ther.

Instead of driving chil-
dren to school, the auto club
recommends that parents
help them learn safe walking
rules — and on rainy days,
provide them with well-fit-
ting, light-colored raincoats
and rain hats. If you drop
children off on the way to
work, do so within a safe
walking distance.

Plan to walk children to
school for the first few days
and meet them afterward.
Get started in plenty of time,
so there's no need to hurry or
run. This way, they'll learn to
walk safely.

If there's a school bus
available, walk with children

to the bus for a few days and
meet them at the stop when
they arrive home.

A child will be better
‘equipped to go it alone by
then, if the parent has
mapped out the safest route.
The youngster should be told
why it is the best way, and
why alternate routes are less
desirable, even though pos-
sibly shorter.

To select the safest
route, keep the following in
mind: Wherever possible,
choose controlled intersec-
tions for children to cross.
Control may be by a mechan-
ical traffic signal, an adult
crossing guard or a member
of the school safety patrol.

At crossings with traffic
signals, explain the meaning
of the red-yellow-green se-
quence, and the walk/don't
walk signs. Teach children to

start across only at the .

beginning of the appropriate
signal.

Instruct them also to
watch carefully for turning
cars and explain that while
the signal is an aid to safe
crossing, it cannot be relied
upon totally — they should
lock in all directions
