SCHOOL’S OUT! WATCH OUT FOR THE KIDS—ChevroletMotor
Division has transformed the National Safety Council’s driver re
action and vehicle stopping formulas into simple, visual arith
metic. Driving at 30 mph the normal stopping distance is 69-78
ft. At 40 mph the stopping distance is 108-124 ft. 50 mph is 160
186 ft. At 50 mph between 228and268 ft. are needed to bring the
car to a stright-line stop on dry, level pavement. Remember—
school is out. Kids often run from behind parked cars in residen
tial sections. Drive defensively and keep the speed-stopping figur
es firmly in mind. -

Know The Weather
What factor releases the
moisture of the air, acquired by
evaporation, over the various
areas of the earth, producing
life and vegetation?
Millions of tons of water are
absorbed by the air through
evaporation every second. This
gives the layer of gases above
the surface of the earth (our
weather) its moif oire.
As this air rises, usually
because of heating from the
earth, which is, in turn, heated
by the sun, it ascends into
colder temperatures. In the
colder weather the air eond
enses and its water capacity
decreases.
When the dew point is reached,
or when the moisture content
becomes the absolute maximum,
precipitation follows. Since air
travels hundreds of miles a day
usually, to the east in this
hemisphere, absorbed moisture
can be carried great distances
before precipitation is finally
triggered by a combination of
altitude and low temperature.
Welfare agency is first to
make budget cuts.
