Your car in
snowy weather

Getting stuck in snow is
certain to put a damper on
your winter ski ‘rip or

oliday excursion. Not only
is it a frustrating ex-
perience, it can be
dangerous as weil.

If you can't avoid getting
stuck, or if traction 1s poor
even if you're not stuck, the
B.C. Automobile
Association offers this
advice on how to get your
car moving again.

Steady _ pulling
moderate power, not speed,
are the important objectives
when traction is poor, says
the BCAA. When wheels are
“stuck in mud, deep snow or
sand, apply power slowly.
Keep the front wheels
pointed straight ahead so
the car can move in a

straight line. If you can’t go:

out,

forward, try backin
the

Steering in the trac

It may be necessary ta
“rock” the car out when it is
stuck, To rock a car, start
slowly in low gear. When the
car will go no farther, shift
rapidly to reverse, backing
until the wheels start to
spin. Then shift quickly to
forward or low gear. Repeat
this procedure in rapid
succession. Each rock
should move the car a little
further out of the hole.
Remember, the rocking
operation must be done with
minimum use of power to
prevent wheels from

and.

spinning and digging in
leeper. ‘

You can rock with either
standard or automatic
transmission cars. If wheels
spin, find some method of
creating traction under the
rear wheels. Any rough
material, such as sand, will
help. You may have to
shovel a path in front of the
wheels. Apply power slowly
and steadily, using second
or even high = gear.
Remember, for most cars
you need traction under both
rear wheels. If only one
spins, you're justas stuck as
if both were spinning.

The BCAA advises that if
you're planning on doing a
ot of winter driving, carry a

bag of sand or kitty litter ;

and a shovel in your trink.'

Remember to drive
slower. in snow than you
would under normal con-
ditions. If you have to stop,
start braking well in ad-
vance with a gentle pum-
ping motion. If you should
start to skid, take your foot
off the. gas immediately.
Don’t jam on the brakes and
don’t depress the clutch. Let
your engine slow you down
and turn your wheels in the
direction of the skid. As the
car starts to straighten,
straighten your wheels to
prevent ?
skidding in the opposite
direction.

the business of the in-

stallation. The following is
his address to the chamber
meeting.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

some of you know me as a’

salesman, some as an open-

line host, and some as a

Terrace booster. It’s in the
latter capacity that I'd like
you to think of me tonight
and during m
resident of this chamber
because I think that the
most important thing any
chamber can do is boost the
image of a town both to its
own citizens and to those
outside its boundaries.

We all acknowledge that

Terrace has lost some.

citizens in the past few
years and that the town is
now. only slightly larger
than it was at the close of the

last decade. But, lask you to

term as.

- by all of you here ionieht

look around you and think
for a moment about the kind
of people who are left in our
community: good : people,
people with a stake. ¢ .
ether their stake is
financial, or emotional, or
both, doesn’t matter. What
does matter is that they're
people with a deep interest
in seeing Terrace get back
on its economic and gocial
feet. And this one fact gives
me great hope for the im-
mediate and long term
future of this town.
I trust that hope.is shared

and that you will join. with
me and the Chamber of
Commerce in helping -to
make 1977, »~ Terrace’s
Golden Anniversary year, a
ear that we can all leak
back on with pride. -.
