Some Helpful Hints on Winter Driving With cold weather due in many setâ€" tions of the country, motorists will be interested in some advice on preparing their cars to give the best possible serâ€" vice in subâ€"freezing temperatures. J. H. Hicksy, general service manager of the Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited, has the following to say on this timely subject: Safe and Satisfactory Winâ€" ter Driving Helped by Suggestions of Chrysler Service Manager "Motor cars are subjected to. harder | use in winter than in sumrer, even | though the total mileage is much 1e~ss.l For this reason it is very important that owners have their cars thoroughâ€" ly checked over and put in condition to resist the additional hardships imâ€" posed by cold weather. "First of all, the should be given a tuning up, to avert starting trouble and cther wintor ills. Spark plug points and distributor points should be checked and adjusted to the proper gap. Wiring connections should be insp:cted to insure that they are clean and tigsht. The compression should be tested and brought up to norâ€" mal, with an even compression in each cylinder,. This means both additional power and greatsr smoothness. "If carbon has accumulated, it should be removed. In some makes of cars the valves may nesd touching up, though we have a minimum of valve trou>le in the Chryslerâ€"Bbuilt cars because of our valve seat insorts of heatâ€"resisting "The fusl system should be cleaned out and carburetor adjustment changed for cold weather. The battery, which if neglected becomes a frequent source of trouble in cold weather, should be careâ€" fully checked so that it may be brought up to full capacity to mset the extra demands on it due to the heavier load on the starter. The generator output also should be checked. The lights are used more in wint>r than in summer and it is important that there be plenty of "juice" to take care of them, as well as of all the other electrical requireâ€" ments. Battery cables should be checkâ€" ed and, if corroded at the terminals. sleaned and replaced if too badly damâ€" ta® . _3 a3n ce SDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, 1836 > e wl n mm mt District Oficesâ€"Bank of Commerce Buildings, Timmins, Ont. ! _"It is very important that lights lshould be in good condition for winter t driving, because so much of it is done ‘in rain, snow or fog. Lights should be 'aligned and focused properly to meet : the legal requirements of the various ’provinces. Poor lights are not always ! to be blamed on the bulbs, but may be due to low battery, defective wiring or | cther things that cause low voltage. If, hcwever, a bulb shows smoky, it probâ€" ably needs to be discarded. aged. Badly corroded termir a very heavy current loss. "Winter oil" should be put in the crankcase and the proper grade of cold weather lw:ricants into the transmisâ€" sion and rear axle. The use of an antiâ€" freeze mixture is essential in most parts of the country. In this connection let me warn ‘motorists to select antiâ€" freeze that is free from impuritiss that attack radiator core, water pump and alloy metals used in the engine. Some of the mixtures containing the wrong ingredients do great harm to a car; as much kharm as any one thirg I could name. "Tires that are badly cut or that have »een worn smooth should be looked afâ€" ter. Smooth tires are a great hazard on slippery streets and should either be retreaded or replaced. Don‘t risk a serious accident by failing to see that your tires are sound. "A frozen door lock is sometimes source of grsat arnoyance. With the coming of cold weathsr, these locks shculd be blown out to make sure they are free of water and then treated with powdered graphite, which in winter is better for this purpose than oil. By taking this precaution a motorist may save hims*lf the discomfort of having to blow his warm breath into the keyâ€" hole of a frozen lock until he thaws it out., which is about the only way I know of doing it unless you have access to heat of some kind. "The windâ€"lacing groundâ€"~the doors of your car should be examined to see that it is tight. This will keep out a lot of cold air. "Brakes always of the utmost imporâ€" tance, should be checked for winter driving. See that they are equalized on all four whsels and that no foreign matter on one brake shore or another causes it to perform less than its perâ€" fect function. The clutch pedal should be checked to that «it has full clearance. "The windshield wiper comes in for a lot of use in the winter and should be :als ir good condition. Blades sometim*s get fuzzy and do not clean the glass perâ€" fectly on that account. A new blads can be purchased for a few cents and is easily installed. If the wiper does not function properly it may be due to an air leak if it is of the vacuum type. Otherwise, it may ‘be due to failure in the wiper motor itself that probably can be cured by lubrication." Cobalt, Nov. 12.â€"(Special to The Adâ€" vance}â€"After a 19â€"yearâ€"old youth had admitted breaking a plats glass winâ€" dow in the men‘s wear section of Sam Bucovetsky‘s store here early Sunday, someone as yet unknown to police twentyâ€"four hours later put hole corâ€" responding in size to the glass through the temporary stopgap placed there and stole three pairs of gloves from the interior of the window. There is no clue to this second incident, Chief Miller said, but in the first Allan Coopâ€" er is held on a charge of wilful damâ€" age to property and will appear befors Magistrate Atkinson this weekâ€"end. He has admitted breaking the window, the chief said. Accused of Hurling Stone Through Cobalt Window According to information given the chief by the store caretaker, Cooper came to the door about 2.30 Sunday morning and sought admissior, allegsdâ€" ly because he wanted to call police. He was refused and when ordered off is said to have picked up a stone and to have hurled it through the window. The matter was not reported to him, Chief Miller said, until after ten o‘clock and then, on information supplied by the caretaker, enquiries led to Cooper, who is said to have confessed. During Sunday night, after cardboard had been placed over the break in the glass, some unknown person cut a hole through the protecting cover and, apparently with a hook, removed the gloves from a rack in the window.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO Thrilling Experiences in Cochrane Coroner‘s Life There have been several recent referâ€" ences in Th° Advance to Magistrate E. R. Tucker, of Cochrane, who is also chief coroner for North Cochrane disâ€" trict. Indeed, for many years past there have been fr:quent references to Mr. Tucker cecause his work has been so useful and valuableâ€"as io be worthy of special note. This whole arsa of the North has been particularly fortunate in its magistrates and coroners, and the high cha@racter and outstanding ability of these men in authority has been of undoubtsd service to this new country. Magistrate Atkinson, chief magistrate for this part of the North, has given over 25 years of notable serâ€" vice to the country. Careful considerâ€" ation"of his work on the bench will inâ€" dicate its value to the North. He is in the news every issue because of his courts held each week in the various communities of the territery. Magisâ€" trate Tucker, covering a territory furâ€" ther north, may not be as frequently | in these columns, but his cutstanding work both as magistrate | and as coroner wins hnim special notice‘ on frequent occasicons from all intrer-i ested in the North. Recently The Adâ€" vance was givirg special space to a suggestion of Mr. Tucker as coroner in | reference to protecting settlers‘ homes from fire. From his wide knowlsdge in the matter Mr. Tucker krew that most of the fires at settlers‘ homes were caused by defective chimneys, unproâ€" tected stovepipes passing through light partitions, stoves placed dangerously close to light wood walls, or similar errors. In most cases the danger could be removed, he said, at practically no cost. His suggestion was that the duâ€" ties of the fire rangers be extended to‘ | include the inspection of settlers‘ homes for fire risk. The rargers now have to inspect settlers‘ lands for fire risks so0 the new duties would not unduly °xâ€". tord their work or mean any particular @cost. At the same time the danger of fire at settlers‘ homes would be much educed 3y such a plan. Again this week Coroner Tucker was given merited publicity in connection with another suggestion made in connection with an inquest at which he presided. The inâ€" quest was into the death of two men whose lives were lost in a fire that deâ€" stroysd a logging camp. Coroner Tuckâ€" recommerded that a watchman be employed at all logging camps where more thar 50 men were employed, that fire extinguishers be provided and that a close check be made on all heating apparatus in such camps. At the conâ€" clusicn of the inquest a representative of the firm cwning the logging camp whers the tragedy occurred stepped fcrward to say that his firm would imâ€" mediately put the recommendations inâ€" to effect. It is also hoped that the plans for greater safety in logging camps will be adopted._by all oth®r firms in the North. Coroner E. R. Tucker Alone in Bush With Axe Murderer. Magistrate Attacked With Axe. Followed by Pack of Wolves. Indian Killed by Dogs: Other Experiences The last issue of The Northern Tribâ€" une, of Kapuskasing, earries a very inâ€" teresting story of the work of Chief Coroner E. R. Tucker. The Northern Tribune s2Ay$:â€" "Magistrate E. R. Tucker, of Cochâ€" rane, gained an unusual distinction last week when he was appointed chief corâ€" oner for the district. It is an unusual distinction becaus2 he becomes the first nonâ€"medical man in the province to asâ€" sume such office, asâ€" well as being the first to combine the two offices of magâ€" istrate and chief coroner. "The anrcuncement of his appointâ€" ment to the dual offices was explained in a press despatch from Toronto as being "due to unusual circumstances affecting this district." Beyond that lies another reason, howsver. Magisâ€" trate Tucker has been coroner in this area for the past 16 years, and during that time has demonstrated his ability to carry out the dutics of the combined offices in a praiseworthy manner. His appointment as chief coroner gives him techrically, jurisdiction over some ten coroners in the North Cochrane disâ€" trict. "For a layman, he possesses anrn unâ€" usual amount of practical medical knowledge. When he first assumed the office of coroner along with his judicial role, he set azout to make himself as proficient in the understanding of medâ€" ical phrassology as his duties deâ€" manded. Toâ€"day, when Magistrate Tucker conducts an irquest, he has a keen understanding of the medical dence. "For the past 16 years he has been travelling through the district, many times in places and in all kinds of weather. His duties have, many times, entailed hardships. But it is safe to say that during those years Magistrate Tucker has had more thrillâ€" ing exp@riehces than any three men have during their entire lifetimes. "A brutal murder that took place some 13 years ago a few miles from Hearst provided on* of them. A watchâ€" man in an abandoned lumber camp was found hacked to pieces in his lonely cabin. Magistrate Tucker and several police officers procesded to the scene. Magistrate Tucker picked up the trail of the murderer and followed it, alone, into a lonely swamp. There the killer, armed with an axe, lay in hiding. The two were alons in the swamp for sevâ€" eral hours urtil police officers arrived and effected the capture. officers. All during the trial he kept staring fixedly at the magistrate. When the axe was produced as evidence, h* broke from his guards and made a grab for it. He was swinging it wildly in the "At the preliminary hearing, the mirderer. who was himselr an unusual character, a Harvard graduate whose mind had collapsed because of overâ€" study., was placed between two husky direction of the magistrate when offiâ€" cers firally overpowered ‘him. "A few years ago, a settler was found dead in bed in his lonely cabin in midâ€" winter. It was in an almost inaccessible spot with but a bare wagon trail leading for miles through the wildsrness to the main highway. Magistrate Tucker, as cororer, and a police officer proceeded to the spot to investigate and decid that the man had died a natural deatX. "They bundled the corpse into 2 sleigh, and late at night set out for civilizaticn. A pack of wolves were atâ€" tracted by the scent of the dead man and trod a stsady circle around the sleigh, slowly narrowing in. It was a decidedly uncomforta‘sle experience, but Magistrate Tucker does not believe they would have attacked. In all his experâ€" f{ence in the North, and with his many contacts with trappers and settlers, he has never met one who believes that a wolf will attack a man unless the man becomes physically disabled and pcwerless to make a show of defence. "Particularly gruessme was the time he helped pick the scattered remnants of an Indian, who had been torn to pieces by his dogs. It ccecurred in the middle of the winter and following A fresh, heavy srowfall. The dogs turned on their master and tore him apart as if he had been a chunk of raw ‘beefâ€" steak. The snow for a considerable area was bespattered with blcod as if a furâ€" ious battle had raged. "These have been only a few of his many and varied experiences. He once cut down the body of a‘suicids which had been hangirg all summer in clump of trees a few miles from Cochâ€" rane and but a stone‘s throw from wellâ€"travelled highway. The skin had shrivelled from the kody. The neck tendons, however, had been preserved and wore holding the skull in a grueâ€" some position. _ "He has seer the North grow up and perhaps more than any other man in the North, has an intimate knowledgs of the growth of this area into one of the most thriving in the province. When he first ascended the bench, Kapuskasâ€" ing did not exist. Towns that sprung up were then mere collections of huts. His intimate knowledgeo of this disâ€" trict, and his varied experiences durâ€" ing those years tell the story of his apâ€" pointment as chief coroner much betâ€" ter than words. "He has seen life in all its phases. He has seen the North extract its anâ€" nual toll of death through hatred, suiâ€" cide, greed, and that most dsadly enemy of allâ€"the winter elements. Magistrate Tucker kas a keen understanding of psychology, gleaned from his many years on the bench. Fair and impartial, his decisions have seldom been quesâ€" tioned either by accused or their counâ€" sel. "In one respect Magistrate Tucker is following in the footsteps of his father. Many years ago, before he ascended the bench, his father, the late Dr. W. J. Tucker, was coroner for Algoma district which at that time included a Jlarge part of what is row the North Cochâ€" rane district. That he is aptly filling his father‘s shoss needs no further proof than the terse press dispatch that came out of Toronto, announcing his appointment as chief coroner. He .has covered this territory, which comprises the largest jurisdiction in Ortario, in every conceivable raods Qf transportation, motor, dog tewn, snowâ€" shoes, boat and airplane. He once transported an Indian prisoner from Moose Factory to Cochrane by airâ€" plane. Magistrate Tucksr, incidertally, although he does rot fly now, was A member of the Royal Air Force during the World War."
