TIMELY WARNING With the opening of the football season a stone's throw away and with much autumn travel between Hert ford, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Dur ham in the offiing as preparations are made to attend the games upstate, it is timely to warn motorists of the demands made upon their margin of safety with the changing seasons. Each season makes its own demands and with the approach of the football season when much night traveling is in prospect as fans return from the games, it is opportune to lend an ear to Ed Hedner, national service and mechanical director of the Chevrolet Motor Division, as he tries to assure maximum driving satisfaction during those football weeks between summer heat and winter cold. "In spite of certain conditions that require extra caution on the roads, there is nothing about Autumn to cause the slightest anxiety to a driv-1 er who recognizes these conditions and governs his driving accordingly. City streets are likely to present some hazards due to wet leaves un-' derfoot, but application of the same rules as apply to winter driving will prevent trouble from that source. j "Avoid abrupt stops. Even on dry ! pavement, it is always a good plan to check your car gradually. The driver who has formed that habit will automatically handle his car safely when ice, snow, or wet leaves put special emphasis on the cautious use of brakes. I "Few drivers make turns correctly. The tendency is to apply brakes when going into a turn, and this is wrong. It throws the weight of the car upon the front end, making it' harder to steer. Try slowing down t before you start the turn, and then, ' at the moment of turning, step on the 1 accelerator slightly. This throws the' weight loward the rear of the car, and makes for a smooth, easy turn. The advice applies not only in the fall but all the year around. "Fog is more prevalent in Au tumn than in summer, and fog al-j ways calls for special driving care. I The old rule. 'Be able to stop in the! clear space ahead' covers the whole' ground. And since the clear space! ahead is greatly restricted when the! fog is thick, this demands a sharp reduction in speed. "If it becomes necessary to stop and clean the windshield when driv ing in fog, be sure to pull well off( the highway and out of traffic. And' when behind the wheel yourself, drive j as you would if you suspected that! some motorist ahead had stopped without taking that precaution. "Night driving in fog has been simplified by the development of lamps which pierce the murk, and later on, the same lamps will be found of great help when driving in a snowfall. Their use, in conjunc tion with ordinary caution, will do much toward safer Autumn driving." Ihese automobile experts know, what they are talking about. They, built the cars and they know how the cars are handled with the great est margin of safety. So observe the precautions, go up to Chapel Hill and Durham to all the games, and . .... return safely. DOING THEIR PART No industry today has worked harder and with better results to-get its product in the good graces of Mr. and Mrs. Public, at the same time rendering an invaluable public ser vice, than the united brewers of beer in America. Twelve months ago several brew ers drew up an independent code, pledging to conduct their business in accordance with all existing laws against illegal sales of beverages and to aid local officers in correcting other conditions where the sale was apt to give the industry a black eye. Through paid advertisements in most of the newspapers throughout the nation . . . and at great expense . the United Brewers Industrial Foun dation has begged for criticisms, sug gestions, and invited correspondence with groups and individuals. The brewers asked the public not to pa tronize taverns where the sale of beverages is abused or becomes of fensive to a community. "Follow up and cooperate with the local authori ties," they urge their retailers, and to the consumer, "patronize only re spectable retail outlets." The brewers are serious, and the result of all this must surely mean at first, less business for the brewers. They are pledged to back the re tailers who sell beer as law-observing merchants and to neip tne autnori ties in preventing sales to minors and those who drink to excess. The brewers' code is not idle publicity chatter, for it is definitely known in. Kansas that the Foundation furnish-1 ed convicting evidence of liquor law j violations in two instances. The brewers gave their code the acid! test in Kansas. Since then the ef-, fects of the code have also been felt j in Hertford, when one local dealer voluntarily gave up a prospering trade in beer because he felt that the sale was becoming offensive to certain people in the community even though his business was strictly! within the law.- j In short, the brewers have gone! much farther in their efforts to up hold the law than many other law abiding businesses. The brewers .are doing more than their rt and de serve the cooperation of the people in helping to locate and stamp out illegal sales. "Illegal sales" means more than selling without license. Itj means also selling to minors and: drunks. The brewers have invited every possible attack on the indus-1 try. They pledge their continued ef-1 forts, and if coopciation is not forth-J coming, it is not the fault of thei brewers, who are striving splendidly to establish their trade among the other industries of America, and there is no reason why the business should not be conducted as others.
