AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT - Volkswagen's new seat belt system, now being field-tested in the U.S. and Canada, requires no buckling up by its user. With one end anchored to the rear of the VW Beetle's door and the other end firmly fastened to an inertia-real, emerg- ency-locking retractor, all a person need do is open the car door, sit on the bucket seat and close the door. The retractor, located between and slightly behind the front seats, automatically takes up any belt slack, adjusting to the user's size. Foam-padded knee bar takes the place of a lap-type belt, prevents sliding forward under the dash- board in the event of an accident. Emergency release at upper end of the belt provides a quick disconnect if needed. VW's passive restraint system prevents engine start-up unless the belts are properly connected to their unchorages. Winter driving is treacherous and requires precise handling control of your car. If you wear mittens to drive, you may lose your mittens and your life. Driving gloves with fingers and leather palns insure against steering slippage. Headgear should not block out hearing or sight. Covering up a child's face with bulky hats and too many mufflers may prevent him from hearing and seeing traffic dangers. When you are in an area where children are playing in or near the street and the sides are piled high with plowed snow, slow down so you can brake safely if you have to. Statistics show that most accidents involv- ing children at this time of year occur with the child running onto the roadway, says the Ontario Safety League. Expect the unexpected-..... children on sleds popping out of driveways and sidestreets, dashing out from behind snow piles, etc. The polishing action of tires spinning and sliding on snow and ice greatly increases the slipperiness of already hazardous road surfaces, warns the Ontario Safety League. This occurs particularly at intersections, on curves and on hills. Slow down before you reach the intersection and before going into a curve or down hill. Motorists who store extra gasoline in their cars are courting a fiery accident, states the Ontario Safety League. It's like playing with dynamite! This summer, two safety experts in Winnipeg placed a safety can full of gasoline in the trunk of a car. Leaving the engine running, they stood at a safe distance and waited. Within 20 minutes the entire back end of the car. exploded. The safety can is designed to breathe and as the trunk became warmer the gas generated enough pressure to force vapors out past the cap. These soon reached explosive proportions which needed only some ignition source such as a short in the electrical system or a defect in the tail light circuit for detonation. With the current fuel crisis, don't try to "beat those hoarders" by stockpiling gas in your vehicle or at home. More frequent refueling is the solution. This added warning for Canadians travelling south of the border: it is against the law in a number of States to carry spare cans of gasoline in your car. W. Beath, Chairman. WHY'PAY MORE? SAVE!!
