Maybe if these "childish' quarts could get out of the way, mr; us talk could begin. Such problems as tiub must really seem serious to a family who has a son, husbnnd or even a friend in Vietnam. Who is going to set where ... a most ridiculous thing. Maybe if the*e same men who are arguing the point of where they will set wouM get off their buttocks and go to the front lines m Vietnam, they w uld be willing to set anywhi ' < in peace talks. Setting across or beside one from a h -tile countr) i ertainly makes JJ >r< sense than digging in across a hot line of fire from them. The quicker the peace talks can . e ume and some kind of a s< ttl* ment can be made, the better off the entire world will be. Fighting over a seating arrangement is a poor excuse Cor not getting the negotiitions underway and grt seme positive action taken.

Formerly the Bronx was u district comprising several towns in Westchester county, New York. It received its name from an early Dutch settler named Jacob (or Jonas । Bn>nrk. The old Du’o h pronunciation of the name survives in some quarters and one often hiurs it pronounced as if it were spelled "Bronk". In 1 Ib9* the district known as the Bronx became one of the five bor .ughs of New York City. In 1914 a count) named Bronx was formed and since that date the bor .ugh of Br mx and the county <M Bronx have been coextensive.

Speaking here before ths annual meeting the American Society for Testing and Materials. Prof. Whitehurst reported on the 19h7 and 1968 test projects of the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hasards nt Stevens Point, Wise., of which he serves as director. Theae tests also disch»ed for the first time that when these traction devices studded tires and chains — are used on the

rear wheels only, the comerincapacity oc a vehicle is not materially improved. "With studded tires on the rear wheels the cornering speej of the test vehicle wms increased 6 per cent; with reinforced tire chains on the rear wheels, 10 pet cent," Prof. Whitehurst said. "When studded tires were used on all four wheels, however, the o»rnering speed w’as increased by 24 per cent.” Since studded tires are normally used on the rear wheel only, Whitehurst explained that this practice could subject drivers to a haaardous situation in turning maneuvers. "Because of the increase! stop - md-go traction provided b studs when used on the rear wheel only, the driver may easii be misled into feeling thi.t thi added traction will help nn curve, only to discover that th front end of the vehicle skids ou of control, a phenomenon wt' . which he is probably not at a familiar. This typ” of situatior may indeed cause him to slid, through an intersection where I. had attempted to make a tumin maneuver," he cautioned. "For this reason." conclude j Whitehurst, "it is recommend' 1 ! that those who use studded tire should have them installed on a four wheels instead of on th rear wheels only as Is customar But whether they use stud# < chains they should sh»w down «. Icy road surfaces."
