Driving and re-fueling in ~

If you go ‘down to the
States today, you're in for a
big surprise. Perhaps not as
astonishing as a teddy bears’
Picnic, but nonetheless po-
tentially bewil to the

Canadians will encounter the
term “gasohol.” It is not, the

First and foremost, the
United States is one of the
last holdouts against the
metric system. Speed limits
and distances are still desig-
nated in “old measure” and,
Jest you've fargotten: 50 mph
is 80 kph and 30 mph is 50
kph.

The metric system has
been found convenient at the
pump, however. Gas station
operators are not: permitted
to price gas by the half-gal-
lon after June 30. As the
price of gasoline is well over
the double diget benchmark,
only price per litre will fit on
the pump.

Canadian and US, litres
are, of course, the same
measure. If you spot a gas
station selling by the gallon,
keep in mind the U.S. gallon
is about 20 per cent smaller
than the Canadian, or Im-
perial gallon. Gas at $1.05 per
U.S. gallon is not cheap — it
works out to about $1.26,
Imperial gallon.

Even travelling in the
Pacific Northwest, but es-
pecially in the mid-west,

are nec-
essary.

It is possible you will
notice an octane boost. Gas-
ohol is usually a blend — 90
per cent regular ded

ULS., parti discount
chains, will not accept them.

Be prepared to pay for ~

your gds purchases with.

Today B.C.'s 150 ‘dentur-
ists’ — dental mechanics as
they are known by law — are
still fighting for recognition
as a legitimate, independent

“We hope it won't come
to that,” says James Con-
nolly, president of the Den-

turists Society af B.C. “But °

they’re going to have to put

» He says denturists are
tired of working under ar-
chaic, sative lecislati,

cards or, if p with
the station operator, travel-
lers’ cheques.

Another practice un-
heard of in Canada but legal
in the U.S. is charging for
services such as washing

gasoline and 10 per cent
ethanol (ethyl -alcohol or
grain alcohol), Regular. gas
has an octane rating of 87,
but the addtion of alcohol
boosts it to 89 - 90.

This boost is sufficient to .

stop engine knock: in many
cars with catalytic con-
verters,

Because of alcohol's
cheimical compostion, there is
a leaner fuel mixture (less
fuel, more air). If you own a
newer cat which relies on a
lean carburetor setting for
emission control you may
have some surging and hesi-
tation in performance.

Gasohol also acts as a
fuel system cleaner — some-
times dislodging so much
debris the fuel filter can't
handle it. If you have symp-

toms of stalling, look first for”

a plugged filter. Also, don't
spill gaschol on your car, it
may damage the paint and
plastic surfaces. .

and inflating tires.
It is not widespread, but
visitors should be prepared.
Another minor shock
will probably hit all Can-
adians when they first fill up
across the line: Gas is ex-
pensive. As of April this
year, regular gasoline in the
U.S. costs 83 cents a litre,

The Dental Technicians Act,
enacted in 1958, allows den-
turists to make and fit den-
tures but requires patients to
first: get an oral health
certificate from a doctor or
déntist.

Connolly says the pro-
vision, although ignored by
most denturists, implies they
are not competent to perform
the simple task of checking
out the patient's mouth be-
fore fitting dentures.

By ignoring it, most
denturists are operating out-

side the law. Connolly says
because they don’t like work-
ing illegally they may soon
launch a ‘legal challenge to
the certificate requirement,

‘Dentists have consis-
tently stood in the way of
changes in denturists’ status
because they want to retain
full-control, Connolly claims,

He says denturists re-
ceive 4,000 hours of training
before going into practice.
“In 20 years there has not
been one malpractice suit
against a denturist in Can-
ada." But dentists say such
training cannot substitute for
the years of training dentists
receive.

“Dentists have a more
trained: eye; so: to -speak,”
says Ken Croft; managing
director of the College of
Dental Surgeons of B.C. He
says the oral certificate
should be retained but the
college has no objection to
denturists' demand their title
be legally changed from
“dental mechanics” to “den-
turists.”

“People come to ‘us
thinking we repair dental
chairs,” says Connolly.

Most alarming to den-
tists is the denturists' de-
mand for the right to do
partial dentures as well as
the full uppers and lowers.

Trip to Fort Steele

By SHELLY HANCOCK

As a part of the Social
Studies class at Winlaw, the _
Grade 5 and 6 students take
an overnight field trip to Fort
Steele every other year: —
and this is the year.

In order to raise money
for this excursion, the stu-
dents presented three the-
atre productions last Wed-
nesday at the school: ‘Ali
Baba and the Forty Thieves;'
a Japanese play ‘Fire In A
Paper;’ and ‘Tomboy and the
Dragon,’ a spoof of fairy
tales.

Several parents — Mrs.

‘Vial of Life’ explained
- to local membership

Castlegar and district
:senior citizens were intro-
duced to a vital emergency

‘device called a “Vial of Life,"

‘when members met for their
‘regular business meeting last

“Thursday afternoon in their

Centre.
‘The vial isa small plastic
Bottle which contains the
wher's medical history. It is
pt inside a refrigerator,
with a label affixed to the
“outside of the refrigerator
door indicating its presence.
:In the event that a holder of
such a vial loses conscious-
ness in his/her home, medical
‘personnel arriving on the
scene would’ be aware of
what medication to admin-
ister to the patient.
Arequest was made that
a letter be sent to head-
quarters in Vancouver for
several vials to be sent to the
Centre. President J. Donnan
suggested that this subject
«be discussed at the provincial

convention has been‘sent in,
with each delegate receiving
a cheque for her expenses.
The resolutions which the
delegates will be voting on
were discussed at the meet-
ing.

One minute's silence was
observed by .members in
memory of the late Jean
Louis Bonin. A donation will
be made to the Heart Fund in
his memory.

Members decided to hold
a Spring Tea in their Centre
on June 7. Bake table, novel-
ty table and some sewing will
be featured. Price of tea
tickets will be 50° cents.
