what it should coniain.

e Shovel — An inexpen-
sive army surplus entren-
ching tool will do. If you
can dig yourself out of the
snow, great! If not, you
might still be able to shovel
away enough snow to check
your car’s exhaust system
for leaks.

You’re safer inside your
car with the engine and
heater running than outside
in the cold, but only if dead-
ly exhaust gas isn’t able to
seep in. (It’s always a good
idea to check your exhaust

system — or have it checked

— with every oil change.)

If your exhaust system is
leaking fumes, don’t sit in
the car with the windows
closed. Leaking exhaust gas
can be fatal to occupants of
an unventilated car in as lit-

® Flashers — if your bat-
tery is strong (something to
check on before winter
starts) leave your emergency
flashers on.

A strong battery will keep
them going for hours. As a
back up, have a_ good
flashlight with fresh bat-
teries in your car.

Not only can it be an ef-
fective back up for your
emergency flashers, it can
also light the way ard safe-
guard against falls if you
decide to walk for help. And
it can help you detect those
under-car exhaust leaks
mentioned earlier.

© CB Radio — While the CB
craze has waned, a CB radio
can be a really ‘‘good bud-
dy’’ at a time like this. Fair-
ly inexpensive units that
plug into your cigarette
lighter are available.

Of course the best way
out of trouble is to stay out
of trouble. Brush up on
your winter driving skills
