Don t Forget: Hazardous Winter
Driving Time Has Now Arrived
Winter driving can be a
hazard ms task not only in the
snow belt bnt in milder ports
of the United States where
snow on the ground is less
common. In these latter areas,
drivers often are less experi
enced in knowing how to cope
with snow and ice and other
hazards that 'accompany bad
weather driving.
The Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards of the National
Safety Council has spent years
searching out the facts about
safe winter driving. The follow
ing are some of the questions
most commonly asked about
winter driving practices.
—Are batteries less effi
cient in cold weather? Yes,
batteries can lose much of
their power when very cold.
To prevent this, keep the
water level up; clean and
tighten cable connections; and
test the charge occasionally
with a hydrometer.
—Keeping tires underinflated
will increase traction, true or
false? False. Decreasing tire
pressure does not increase trac
tion. The only increase is in tire
wear due to soft sidewalls and
cupped treads.
—Studded tires are given
more credit than they
are due. They don't Increase
stopping distance by more
than M per cent, true or
false? False. New studded
tire? on all four tires can cut
breaking distance on glare ice
by aa much as 31 per cent
—It’s preferable to back into
a driveway or parking stall
when leaving your car over
night Why? It will be easier to
reach the engine compartment
with jumper cables from an
other vehicle if your car Won’t
start in the morning.
The National Safety Coun
cil’s Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards will condnct
cold-weather driving tests
from Janaary 24 through
February 4, I#*>2 In Stevens
Point, Wisconsin. For tiies*
sessions about N into com
pany engineers, tire special
I sts, university insirucvors,
product development engi
neers and safety experts
gather these tests and k
monitor the results.
Items to be tested this winter
at Stevens Point include:
1) passenger car anti skid de
vices
2) a new type of tire stud in
tended to reduce pavement
wear (At the present time,
studded tires are banned ip five
states and most other states
limit their use to certain winter
months)
3) four-wheel drive and front
wheel drive vehicles for stop
ping distance and traction on
ice surfaces as compared to
conventional rear-wheel drive
vehicles
And 4) braking distance on
ice and snow for trucks.

I
. We lived in an old gray house on a country
r road just outside a small midwestem town.
And every year on the Saturday before
Christmas, my father would pile my sister,
my two brothers and me into the cab of his
pickup truck and drive us into town. We
all had money saved and ready to spend on
Christmas gifts. Dad would shop with us for
a while, helping us pick out gifts for Mother
and advancing our allowances when our eyes
got bigger than our budgets.
Then usually just before noon, he’d say he
had some special shopping to do and that hed
better get to the bank before it closed.
When Christmas morning came, we’d >,
gather round the tree and open our presents.
And when we were finished unwrapping the
trains, trucks, doMs and clothes; when Mom
had thanked us each twice for the gifts we’d \
given her; and when we’d emptied our socks
down to the last orange; my Dad would point
to four small envelopes nestled in the tree.
There was one for each of us. And every year '
for as far back as I can remember, each
.contained the results of his hurried trips to
the bank on the Saturday before Christmas,
A U. S. Savings Bond.
It’s Christmas time at my house now.
A house that’s far away from that small
midwestern town. A house that I could buy
because I cashed in some old U. S. Savings '
Bonds I had to help with the down-payment..
A house where two little kids are going to
find envelopes in the Christmas Tree this year.
Envelopes that contain U.S. Savings Bonds.
i
Bonds ate safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed,
we replace them. Whenneeded, they can be
cashed at your bank. Tax may be deferred
until redemption. Antj always remember,
Bonds Me * proud way to save* ,
