i Rules Are Outlined ; For Winter Driving Pointers Are Listed By Chief Os Police In cooperation with national safety and law enforcement authorities, police chief James M. Bor- ■ ders today outlined six rules for winter driving to reduce the number of accidents in the hazardous i weather ahead. Scientific tests and research by i the national safety council are the • basis for the rules, chief Borders ; said, adding, “Only sincere thinks ing of these rules will save motorists from being involved in serious accidents and traffic tie-ups.” The : pointers for drivers as listed by ■ the chief are: 1. When starting out on ice or . snow, get the feel of the road surface. Test your braking and ac- . ceteration when clear of other . cars. 2. Reduce speed when road sur-' faces are snowy or icy. Remember that it takes three to 12 times more distance toftop on snow or . ice than on dry pavement. 3. Keep snow and ice off the outside of the windshield as well as fog and frost inside. Be sure your defrosters and wipers are working. Watch out for pedestrians. 4. Never warm up your car in a closed garage. Cardon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. Also check floor boards and exhaust system

for leaks. Examine heater for possible defects. 5. WWen treacherous snow or ice prevail on the streets, use steel tire chains. They reduce braking distance for cars and trucks from 40 to 70 percent, and provide “go” traction often needed. 6. If possible, have tires with good treads. They provide better I stopping ability on both dry and . wet pavement, but do not depend . on even new rubber treads on ■ packed snow or ice. Tests also . show that “rubber tire chains,” i while nice and quiet, actually skid farther than bare tires on ice. So, > “don't skid yourself.” > “In northern states the traffic i accident death rate goes up 24 to . 53 percent above the summer rates . during snow and ice months,” chief i Borders said. “Now, with more > automobiles on the road than last ’ winter, every driver must exert extra caution, both to his own driv- • ing and to the other fellow’s.” He concluded, “If drivers do - this, and abide by the rules listed, • we know that we can continue to reduce unnecessary accidents and .■ tie-ups this winter.” i For the first time since the end • of the war, German university students this summer have had an • opportunity, to make contacts with I foreign sudents. Young people i from 10 countries, including 70 ■ Americans, .participated in a spe- • cial summer course at Heidelberg University designed to ‘'promote i international understanding.” Ger- . man and foreign students together : attended lecures by American and i German professors.
