Today, cars are year round propositions, but we all have some mental blocks about winter driving that can be dis pelled with a few common sense rules. Here are some key Winter driving sfaety do's and don'ts. 1. Do keep extra distance be tween you and the car ahead; itanay take 12 times as far to stop on snow and ice as on dry concrete. On icy pave ments, tires may lose all but one tenth of their grip, mak ing it impossible to brake to a sudden stop. Keep a mini mum of one car length for every ten miles of speed be tween you and the car ahead. And don't be fooled by a sud den let - up in the cold spell. It can take over twice the dis tance to stop your car at 32 deg. F. than at zero temper ature because ice and snow become much more slippery at higher temperatures. ' Amounts Of Tar Vary Cigarette -Warnings Asked For A majority of Americans be lieve that the tar and nico tine content of cigarettes shtould be disclosed in all cig arette advertising, according to a recent public opinion sur vey. Results of the survey are re vealed in an article in the No vember issue of Readers Di gest. The article also includes the results of a study of the tar and nicotine contents of the 30 most popular brands of filter - tip cigarettes. Cigarette tars and nicotine are widely thought to be re sponsible for development of cancer, cardiovascular diseas es and other ailments in smok ers. ,Of the 30 filter brands test ed in the study, Carlton cig arettes showed the least amount of tar and nicotine de rived from the smoke. Carl ton yielded 6.0 milligrams of tar and 0.39 milligrams of nicotine. Ttte next four brands, in as cending order of tar and nico- livelier lather for really smooth shaves! V2A 4 2. Don't jam on your brakes if your car should skid; you'll only make your situation worse. Instead, leave the mo tor engaged and turn the steer ing wheel in the direction in which the rear of the car swings Accelerate slightly. Pump your brakes gently but rapidly to stop; pumping your brakes also gives you better steering wheel control. - 3. Do keep your windshield washer reservoir filled; poor visibility is a prime winter hazard. As an added precau tion, keep a bottle of glycer ine and water, half and half, in the glove compartment of your car. An application will free windshield glass and win dows of ice and sleet. 4. Don't push the gas ped al to the floor when trying to get out of a snow - covered rut. A bag of sand and a sho vel in the trunk of your car are a simple safeguard against ruts. If you get caught in one, shovel away loose snow for three or four feet ahead and behind each wheel. Sand the tine derived, were Marvels, Duke of Durham, True and Montclair. Highest in tar and nicotine content of the brands test ed was Pall Mall Filter, which yielded 31.6 milligrams of tar and 1.72 milligrams of nico tine. Part of the higher yield may be attributed to Pall Mall's greater length. Of the 30 tested brands, Pall Mall was the longest at 100 millimet ers, of which 70 milimeters were smoked in the tests. Carlton and Montclair were shortest; each measured 83 millimeters and was smoked for 50 millimeters. All other brands tested were 85 millime ters. The tests were conducted by Foster D. Snell, Inc., con sulting chemists and engineers, using Federal Trade Commis sion - approved methods. In the public opinion sur vey, which was conducted among smokers and non-smok ers of both sexes, more than 54 percent of those respond- 1.00 1 lasting freshness glides on fast, never sticky! 1.00 $I,CK DEOI - with that shoveled area, especially around the rear wheels. If your car has automatic trans mission you can "rock it by moving the selector lever back and forth between low gear and reverse. 5.

How does it work? Calcium chlo ride simply absorbs moisture and generates heat while dis solving rapidly even at sub zero temperatures!

And more than 92 percent believed that special efforts should be made to discourage young people from smoking. The Digest article, by Lois Mattox Miller and James Mo nahan, sharply citicizes the tobacco industry for its "deep ly ingrained flim - flam" in. reporting the facts about tar and nicotine content. It im plies that the industry gives the public only favorable in formation and withholds facts at otHer times. As one example, it notes that P. Lorillardl Co. advertises the tar and nicotine content of True, but does not disclose that of Kent or of any other Loril lard brand. Similarly, Ameri can Tobacco "touts the low tar - nicotine content of Carl- ton but fails to disclose any ,T SHAVE lOTt crisp, clean masculine aroma! Electronic Library Spews Facts TULSA, Okla. (UPI) Stu dents at Oral Roberts Univer sity are encouraged to watch television while they study. It's all part of the new "com puterized dial access informa tion retrieval system" at the school. The $500,000 system is ex pected to simplify learning, by providing an electronic li brary for students seated at individual study stations. Each station has a television screen, earphones and control panel. Students can tap .the elec tronic library by dialing a number selected from an in dex of recorded lessons. The dialed number is re ceived in the system control center and a computer selects and starts the specified equip ment, which includes televi sion tape recorders, television film systems and audio tape recorders. The switching system can also be used to distribute live programs originating in a te levision studio or at various other program pickup points in laboratories and class rooms. Topics covered in the sys tem's library include art, Bib lical studies, biology, business administration, languages, his tory, mathematics and physi cal and political science. Dr. Paul I. McClendon, uni versity's director of learning resources said the system will enable the student to ob serve and study charts, dia grams and other material on new and advanced concepts ' before they are published in conventional textbooks. McClendon described the system as a step toward solv ing some of the problems plaguing education today. It will aid the teacher trying to teach too many students too much in too short a time. "With a computerized elec tronic storage and retrieval system, the student gets a se cond look at the material," he said. thing about Montclair," ' say the authors. Federal legislation in effect since last January 1 requires cigarette packs to carry the warning, "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health." But con trary to common opinion, the authors state, thte requirement represents a clear victory for the tobacco industry. In fact the industry itself planned the mild warning as a substi tute for stiffer legislation. Now, however, a crackdown looms. Senator Warren C. Mag nuson (D., Wash.), Chairman of the Senate Commerce Com mittee, has introduced new leg islation to require all cigarette advertising and cigarette pac kages to carry actual tar and nicotine contents. The new legislation repre sents "a sterner challenge than the cigarette industry has faced at any time during thte past decade," the authors report. brisk, bracing the original spice-fresh lotion! 1.25 lice SHU LTO N i f-i S i BUMPER TO BUMPER The makers of Volkswagen auto mobiles are going around the country sticking the bumper sticker above on the backs of their products.

And those who are absent a lot without having a clearly defined physical ailment have a proneness to absenteeism just as some persons seem prone to accidents. These views were among many aired at a conference on absenteeism held in New York for school and industrial health personnel. Helen C. Rush, executive di rector, American Association of Industrial Nurses (AAIN), cited studies indicating . that persons well adapted to their surrounding, to their jobs, had few illnesses. She said high-absence peo ple are discontented and wor risome persons with problems. "There is a correlation be tween the employee's attitude about his job and his attend- s ance on the job," she said. "High morale is fostered by a sense of belonging, of be ing needed. If this is lacking, a climate of absenteeism may be established. Emotional dis orders leading to absenteeism often have occupational back ground job dissatisfaction, fear of insecurity, conflict with other employees." School phobia, meanwhile, has been demonstrated to have similar causes. Such a phobia occurs when a child pleads an ill-defined tummy ache and gets. outr of going to schobrfor a 4ay.? .

Studies have shown such children might be trying to es cape a test, an unpleasant as signment or just boredom. The typical schoolchild, ac cording to the National Edu cation Association (NEA), is absent from school about 18 days during the year. Respiratory diseases are the most important cause of school absences. Stomach dis orders rank second. Dorothy Tipple, supervisor of school nursing, New York State Department of Educa tion, another conference par ticipant, reported on a study showing that the better stu dents Wad a better attendance record han those with lower scholastic achievement. Also, it was found that chil dren from homes that were below - average in economic status lost the most time from school. MeanwMle, Dr. Frederick . Gaudet, director of the Labora tory of Psychological Studies at Stevens Institute of Tech nology, noted that absentee ism is a permanent charac teristic of some persons.

"Shortly af ter school starts each fall, there is a high percentage of absenteeism. This may spring from the fact that the season for upper respiratory diseases has come around again.
