For N ew s USA (NU) - In the past, I've told you about ways to protect the physical beauty of your car. I’ve included tips on selecting a repair shop, inform a tion about body work, item s to in clude in a road assistance kit and products to protect the interior against dirt and stains. The folks at 3M, who offer some o f the leading retail car care prod ucts, including the spray can auto version of Scotchgard cleaners and protectors, have asked me to share a few tips that w ill help protect you and your family when driving. • D o n 't drive a rental car until you know how the locks work. • Take a fender-bender to protect yourself in the event of a deliberate “accident.” • D on’t stop if the driver in the car behind you flashes the headlights. members o f the O B G C , teaching o f basic su rvival skills, responsibilities to fam ily and community involvement are a priority. Issues such as the principle rites o f passage involved in becoming a man or woman, spirituality, pride, self esteem, respect for themselves and others, are reinforced in a positive manner. One o f the ways the club raises funds to support workshops and field trips that are an important part o f their program is through its annual g olf tournament and dinner.
