P~AE 22. WETBY PÈRE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 26198é Safety first .on this summer' s cam ping.tnp Whether camping in a tant or in a trailer, practical planning and preparation are essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable outdoor experience. The Canada Safety Council suggests that, before you leave home you check in advance for what is available at established campsites and test your camping equipment, including tant,' lantern, campstove, etc. Inspect and ensure good mechanical condition of your car. If hauling a trailer check brakes, tires, hitches, horn and lights; adjust mirrors for clear rear vision; practice turning, backing and parking away from traffic, always with someone to guide and watch behind you. Safety tips for campers: * Leave a copy of your vacation itinerary with someone. * Carry a complete first aid kit and include extras such as water purifier, bee sting kit and poison ivy lotion. *Check the campsite for hazards. Instruct children on places and things to avoid, iLe., moving vehicles, cliffs, wild animais, poisonous plants and berries. I f skin is exposed to poisonous plants, use strong soap and water then rubbing alcohol. Wear.shoes to protect against glass, sharp rocks and emibers. * Know where your children. are at àil times - - sèt boundaries and guidelines. Carry a whistle and pin one on your child's clothing - predetermine signaIs for distresa calis. * To .avoid attracting wild animais, keep food Iocked in the car at night or bang in a tree away fromn branches and your tént site. Don't feed the animaIs. * Carry yellow or orange garbage bags. In an emiergency they ca~n be protection from wet weather and are easily visible in dense bush. * Check the fire hazard index with forestry authonities in your area. Light campfires in designated areas only. Drown and atmr fire when you are through. Ashes should be cold when you Voyager SE mini-mvan FROM PAGE 22 wiper and transmission lever. The driving position in the Voyager is very comfortable and outward vision is probably the best of ail the mini-vans. The large windows and absence of thick pillars help here. As with ail mini-vans, the biggest advantage of the Voyager is the seven or eight seating capability, and loads of cargo space. One or both rear seats can be removed to provide up to, 3,540 litres/125 cubic feet of cargo space. With seven seats, you:can take your spouse, the kids, grandparents and Iuggage. ta. the game or the park. If you don't mind the image of driving around in a van', then al of this is available for about the same price as a well-equipped md.-size sedan with fewer seats and a lot less luggage space.
