OHIOAjGO. — “Keep your
cool’’ this winter was the ad
vice issued today by the man
who should know about keepii^g
cool the secretary of the com
mittee on Winter Driving Haz
ards of the National Safety coun
cil, Raymond Prince.
prince, whose job involves co
ordinating the council's annual
v/inter driving test project at
Stevens Point, Wisconsin, said
that safe winter driving is
largely a matter of “keeping
cixjT” under trying circumstances.
“■Safe driving during winter
weather conditions equires the
same skills and precautions that
are demanded at any time of the
year--plus the added difficulty
of coping with inadequate trac
tion and reduced visibility,"
Prince pointed out.
iHe said that few drivers real-|
ize or compensate for the ex
tremely poor traction on ice-j
land snow-covered pavements un-|
i til they get into a real tight'
I spot. ‘The council’s tests have
! shown, for example, that tjie
j braking distance on glare ice
i may be as much as nine or ten
I times the normal dry navemenl
1 distance, meaning that it can
! take from 150 to 200 feet to
I stop after applying the brakes at
i a speed of only 20 mph," prince
noted. :In contrast, the normal
braking distance at this speed
' on dry pavement is only about
slipnerv. and especially when,
*17 feet.’^ ‘ ^ ilWi'
So, whenever the pavement is
you think it may be but don’t
know for sure, Prince advised
that the first thing a driver
should do to “keep his coou" is
to get the “feel" of the road.
This can be done by tryirug the
brakes o “gunning” the engine
momentarily to see whether the'
wheels skid or spin. If the car I
has any tendency to skid or i
“'fish-lail," then it’s time to slow
way d<jwn and do all maneuver
ing—steering, brakinig and ac
celerating—with a delicate touch.

IPS
‘'If you do find that the pave
ment is slippery," he continued,
“then you should increase your
following distance to give you •
self adecjuale room to slow down
or steer out of troilble."
Other suggestions for keeping
cool during adverse driving con- j
ditions were listed by Prince as
follows: I
1. “Pump" your brakes to slow |
on slop don’t jam then on. An j
intermittent pumping action
three to five times per second
keeps the wheels rolling and
helps maintain steering control.
2. Have good tires v/ith good
treads. Better yet, use snow
tires which provide half again
as much pulling power in snow
as regula tires. Studded snow
tires offer still more ■ help on
icy surfaces.
3. Always carry reinforced lire
chains in the trunk of your car
fo use during severe snow and
ice conditions. They provide four
to seven times as much traction
on snow or ice as ^e^gula^
tires.
4. Keep your windshield and
windows clear at all times. Re
place slreaking wiper blades. Be
sure that you windshield washer
solution contains adequate anti
freeze.
Farm Census
Now Underway
iRALEIGH. — The annual;
North Carolina farm census is'
currently under way. The feats
and figures are compiled and
tabulated by the statistics divi
sion of the N. C. department of
agriculture in conjunction with
boards df county commissioners.
According to Agriculture Com
missioner Jim Graham the farm
census gives to fhe counties of
the state information that is eco
nomically adivanlageous in de
veloping agriculture and indus
try.
“It also provides essential farm
facts that protect the farmer’s
investment and eliminates mis
leading reports. Through ac
curate data ‘the census aids in at
tracting agribusiness," Graham
explained.
•He continued saying that from
the census the farmer deiives
many other benefits. “For exam
ple, agencies in the 9iate w'ork-
ing with farm problems must
have this information to develop
their programs. |
“Acreage allotments and mar-j
keting quotas are now in effect |
on tobacco, peanuts and cotton.'
Feed grain and wheat stabiliza- ■
tion programs are also included. |
Prior farm census records were;
used as a basis to establish these
allolment.s. In the event pro
grams are extended to other,
crops, the census will play an
important role to Insure fair
treatment to our farmers.
“It is incumbent upon all ag
ricultural workers, leaders and
farmers of North Carolina to
make this census the best ever.
This is serious and necessary
businr^ss and I urge all farmers to
provide the census taker with
the information called for,” Gra-
Iiam said.

WILD FLOWERS
Flowers that grow in the wild
■may make excellent additions to
your yard, but be certain they
are adapted to the terrain. To
do this, North Carolina State
University specialists suggest, al
ways seek out an identical situa
tion from Which to transplant or
gather seed. For example, if
your wild flower garden will be
in a low, moist spot, collect
from a similar location. Or if
your wild flower plot is upland
or on a slope, collect from a like
area.
