"Not only are the hours from dusk to dawn longer at this time, but often even in daylight hours blowing freezing rain may become so bad that headlights should be turned on so you caa be seen sooner by other drivers," warned the vehicles chief.

Open All Winter Advice Given On Better Buying One of our biggest modern day challenges is consumer buying. Buying on credit (installment buy ing) adds to the problem. Purchas es may be loet if payments cannot be made within reasonable time. How can you be a better buyer? Miss Mamie Whisnant, home management specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, ?ays the answer lies in study, careful planning and good man* gement. This is true of anything you buy and more important today with so many things on the mar ket and so much clever advertising. Miss Whisnant says you should know what your financial situation is in order to determine how much you can afford to pay for the item or piece of equipment you need. Then you can determine what you need to get first and how this pur chase will tH in with what you already have. "Consider coat of installation, upkeep, storage and length of itime it will last," says Miss Whisn ant "Talk with family members and friends and find out all you can about the equipment before you buy." - Here are some buying cautions: 1. Take time to get information and to make up your mind; don't be rushed into buying by flowery sales talks or "high-pressure" tac tics. 2. Be wary of "bargain" prices ?they are not alwaya bargains. Compare prices at other stores. 3. Never let a strange service man or salesman have a piece of equipment or a household appli ance without a definite written statement of repair coat* or ad ditional charge*. Also, jrou should know something about the com pany represented before letting him have the item. 4. Bead a contract carefully bo fore signing ? especially the fine print. Demand aiul get a copy of the exact contract to keep in your files. Never sign a blank contract no matter what a salesman tells you. 5. If an item or product proves unsatisfactory or fails to live up to the manufacturer's or dealer's claims, notify the dealer aa soon as possible? within ten days if you can be sure of adjuatments. 6. Get a written guarantee on all installations of appliances and furnishings and keep it until you are sure the appliance or item is satisfactory or until the guarantee period runs out. 7. Never make a down payment to a strange door-to-door salesman who promises to deliver the goods later. Occasionally such a sales man turns out to be a fraud with no intention of ever delivering the goods. Kiss Whisnant says to remem ber that study and careful plan ning will help you get the most for your money. BEEN THERE BEFORE Sailor? Well, whatta you know? The car stalled again! Blonde ?
