The 15 Annual and Final Vietnam Vets Parachute Jump
with the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall is this weekend
February 22 and 23. The Parachute Jump starts at 8 a.m.
on both days. Congratulations to James Baker who won
the free tandem jump. Johnny Rogers will be BBQing ham-
burgers all day. Breakfast will be served on Sunday at the
VFW, Opening ceremonies for the Vietnam Memorial Wall
at the VFW will be held on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the VFW.
This wall is a replica of the wall in Washington D.C. A
man named Devitt made the wall so that vets everywhere
could experience it. There will be a spaghetti feed after-
wards.

Facts From The National Highway Traffic Safety
Expanded 1997New Car Safety Ratings
(NAPS)--The safety rat-
ing on the ear you drive or
the one you're planning to
drive is no accident. Each
year the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administ-
ration's (NHTSA) New Car
Assessment Program crash
tests vehicles and provides a
one-to-five-star rating on
each vehicle's crash protec-
tion. A five-star rating indi-
cates the best protection, one
star the least. The number of
stars represents how well
vehicles protect belted
drivers and front-seat pas-
sen'ers during a frontal and
side collision.
1997 New Car Safety
Features
Manufacturers provide
buyers the most complete
information about safety
equipment on their vehicles.
Here are some safety fea-
tures that are especially
important:
• Air bags. Air bags
inflate instantly in frontal
crashes to prevent occu-
pants from hitting the dash-
board, steering wheel or
windshield at speeds as slow
as 9 mph.
Air bags do not elimi-
nate the need for safety
bolts, and they offer no pro-
tection in rollovers, rear or
side impacts. Safety belts
help keep you in place
should a collision occur.
• Air bags and ehil-
of a vehicle equipped with a
front passenger air bag
unless the air bag is off.
• Safety Belt Systems.
Safety bolt systems are your
best protection in a crash.
They prevent you from col-
liding with the dashboard or
windshield and hold you
inside the vehicle.
Children who have out-
grown safety seats and
booster seats are better
protected by lap/shoulder
belts than by lap belts
alone. Most younger chil-
dren who have outgrown
their convertible child seat
at about 40 lbs. still need a
booster child safety seat to
help the shoulder/lap belt
fit properly. Booster seats
with shields can be used
with the lap portion of a
shoulder belt or with only
a lap belt if available. If
several children are riding
in back, and there are
shoulder belts there, let
the older ones use the
shoulder belts. Put the
child riding in the car seat
in the middle where there
is only a lap bolt.
Results for current mod-
els are released throughout
the year. For the latest
crash-test data, or data on
used cars since 1979, call
the NHTSA Auto Safety
Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
A fax-on-demand system
will fax the information to
