Safety Council Lists Six Steps For Safe Driving During Cold Winter Months CEechmtjUes in dviwJig, any field of activity, arc developed to the point of perfection only after much practice and experience, Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed ward Scheidt said recently. "The stars in sports, music and the theater did riot develop their talents overnight/* he said. "Neith er does a driver become a real pro at the wheel without knowing the rules of safe driving and following them faithfully." The vehicles execut ve called the attention of all Tar Heel motorists to the National Safety Council's six 1 fundamental tips for safe driving ' during the cold winter months | ahead : 1. It's up to you. You know that , driving conditions are less favor able during the winter. It's up to you to winterize your car, to winterize your driving techniques ? nd to wintcri-:: y r dc ermi ; ? - * > iv nd ? ents 2. Have good tires and tire chains. Have good tires, preferably snow tires, and use reinforced tire chains for more severe conditions. Hem ember worn tires or worn chains are notoriously ineffective. But. even with snow tires or chains J slower than normal speeds are a , must on snow and ice. 3. Keep windshield and windows clear. Be sure that your wiper blades, your heater, and your de froster are cpemin^ l ropi rlv Clean snow and ice from the wind shield and from all windows of your car. Ventilate to keep the in side of your windows from fogging. 4. C.el the "feel" of the road. In order to avoid unintentional slid ing or spinning of your wheels, oc Thanksgiving Services Set For Wednesday Thp Union Thanksgiving Service will be held at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah Wednesday, Novem ber 26. at 7 30 p. m. The Rev. William Haseldon, pas lor of the Free Methodist Church will bring the Thanksgiving mes sage.

Then adjust your speed to road and weather condi tions. 5. Follow at a safe distance. Keep well back of the vehicle ahead so that you will have plenty of room to stop. It takes three to 12 times as far to stop on snow and ice as it does on dry pavement. You may find it hard to explain why you couldn't stop when the other fellow managed. 6. Pump your brakes. The best technique for stopping on snow or ice while maintaining full control of your car is a fast up-and-down pumping of your brakes. Jamming down hard on the brakes is almost certain to lock the wheels. This is l kely to throw your car into a dangerous and uncontrollable skid. "Tiioso rules have been develop < 1 by safe winter driving experts after years of scientific research and actual driving on all sorts of winter road surfaces," Scheldt ex plained. "Faithful adherence to these rules j will help even the newly licensed driver to become proficient in op erating his vehicle under hazardous conditions," he declared. "The per son who conscientiously applies these rules will develop driving techniques that will move him from :he clumsy skidding and stalling class into the expert class."
