PAGE 8 TERRACE HERALD, TERRACE B.C. THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1970 J CAMPING The pioneer way BY CLAUDETTE SANDECKI With summer approaching its time to ready the camper or trailer for that trip to Alaska or the visit to tne folks back in Alberta, To take the worry out of your trip, the Recreational Vehicle Anstitute recommends this checklist to service your vehicle for travelling: First, review all the literature thal came with the RV at the time your purchased it. This includes the owner’s manual, booklets, and equipment manufacturers tips for appliance upkeep. Having reviewed these booklets, you're ready to start on the checklist: 1. Tires, Wheels and Brakes: Tires (spares, too} should be examined for excessive wear, cuts and cracks. Inflate tires to the proper level. It’s a good idea to rotate the tires every spring for even, longer wear. See if wheel bearings need repacking. Are wheel balancing alignment necessary? The braking system, so essential to safety,should be checked by an expert if you have any question about its efficiency. 2. Electrical System: Recharge batteries, Check electrical connections. Are all the lights in the vehicle working properly? Be sure the conlacts of the exterior bulb receptacle have not been corroded by dampness. Stock up on extra fuses, bulbs and a heavy duty extension cord. Treat your auxiliary generator to a general tune-up and lubrication. 3. Gas-Fired Equipment - Before replacing LP tanks, check the holding brackets to be sure they are secure. Unless you have the newer aluminum tanks, the exterior of each tank should be painted to prevent rusting. Fill tanks slightly less than full to allow room for expansion of gas in warm weather. All vents and orifices of gas- burning appliances should be examined for damage or obstructions, _ Tank and line and connectors should be tightened. (Never use a flame to test for gas leaks. Instead follow the soap bubble test: simply apply a soapy water solution around all connections. If bubbles form around connector, it is either loose or faulty.) 4. . Plumbing and Water Lines; - To test the water system, run a couple gallons of water into the tank and pressurize. The plumbing system is faulty if water is noticeably expelled. It's best to have plumbing problems dealt with by an RV dealer. Check faucet washers, and stock up on exira washers. 5. General Maintenance: - Make any necessary repairs to screens, doors, locks and fasteners. Clean ventilators. Disinfect the tojlet, bath, shower and sink. Make sure ail appliances are functioning well. Inspect cabinets, closets and Shelves for damage. Usea mild detergent to clean alt interior non-wood areas. Furniture polish will restore the original gleam to wood surfaces. After washing the outside of the vehicle, spraying the front with silicone or liquid teflon will simplify the next scrub-up. Your vehicle has cleared this checklist? Then it’s ready for a trial run to a nearby overnight campground. Let those hidden problems come to light before you set out on a three week trek. Once set to rights, your vehicle should give you a carefree summer of camping fun. Care -- s healthy ve it is just as hard for children to understand their parents as it is for parents to understand their children. Everyone has problems. It’s only natural.

Alen Stewart, We, | competition to decide the zone representative to provincial first aid finals in Vancouver later this mou: errace F. in regional A first aid attendant looked down at the still-conscious, rubble-covered, twisted body of an injured industrial worker and confessed that.he’drun out of ideas. . With those words, the “casualty” looked dismayed. The situation looked hopeless. The first-aid attendants and the “‘casnalty’’ were participating in the annual regional first aid competitions in Kitimat, Saturday. The Terrace Fire Department leam was squeezed into second ; place by a quick efficient’ Kitimat fire department team. Seven first aid teams fromthroughout northern British Columbia competed in the event which decided northern zoné first aid finals leading to the provincial first aid championships to be held later this month in Vancouver. The teams, comprising five certified industrial first aid altendants, were judged on their ability to administer first aid to three ‘victims’ of a simulated industrial accident, It was the first time the Terrace fire department had entered the competition said Fire Chief Andy Owens who - is ‘also the team coach, Owens said he was “tickled pink’ by his . team's performance. He pointed out that they had practised together for only seven weeks to prepare for the competition. The Terrace team outpointed last years zone champions - Prince George -. and other teams with longer competition experience. + In an awards banquel Dr. E.R. Dunn, chief medical officer for Alean in Kitimat, said he was “impressed” by the performance of all competing teams. However he warned first aid attendants to use caulion when speaking around industrial accident victims. He said saying the wrong thing could easily cause extreme anxiety, possibly fatal to a serviously injured person. All teams were taken separately to a simulated accident scene complete with bloodied and rubble covered accident-victims. The teams were required fo rescue the victim and administer first aid. Two of the accident victims were placed in.obvious places. A tira victim required - considerable searching on the part of the first aid attendants. Only one participating team faile.. to find the third accident victim. Bill Lee, Alcan, personnel manager presented awards and certificates to participating teams.
