SAFETY RULES FOR DRIVING IN
AUTUMN GIVEN|
Extra Precautions Needed to Offset Weather Conditions, View.
Autumn driving, according to C. W. Wood, national director of serv‘4ce, Chevrolet Motor Co., has a special set of rules all its own, which should be followed closely for max‘mum enjoyment of motoring dur-
ing the next few weeks. . “October and November,” said Mr.
- Wood, “differ in three important re-
. gpects from the months just preceding. They have a much higher average rainfall, making driving conditions more difficult. Streets and highways ~ are frequently littered with wet leaves, calling for extra precautions. And finally, the colorful autumn scenery lures large numbers of people to the roads. _ “For greatest enjoyment of drivdng under such conditions, all units of the car should be in the best condition. This is especially true of ‘the braking system and the tires, which determine the driver's ability
to come to a safe stop.
Damp Pavement Menace
“Damp pavements, particularly if ‘they are covered with slippery wet leaves, are no place fo drive with .wornout tires or Brakes not properly adjusted. “Factors affecting visibility are in the fall, too. Operation of windshield wipers should be checked, and headlamps and tail lights adjusted and refocused if necessary, for complete safety night and day ,in rain, shine, or fog. . “The prevalence of fog in the au‘fumn justifies special suggestions for gafe driving under these conditions.
Speed Vilal Factor ° “The safe rule for driving, at any
time, is ‘Keep to speeds at which
you can stop your car in the clear space ahead.’ The clear space ahead is greatly shortened by fog, of ‘course, and the safe driving speed 1 is
- reduced just that much.
“Two things to remember when driving in fog are: Use the utmost caution in overtaking other cars, and drive clear off the highway if you must stop to clean windshield or lamps. “A little extra attention to the car ftself, and a little extra care when driving, will pay big dividends in
- pafety, comfort, and the enjoyment
derived from your car.”

Through a quartz window in the new knock-testing motor it is possible to see exactly what goes on inside a running engine and detect the difference between ordinary gasoline and ethyl. This exhibit is being shown to the public for the first time. Of unusual interest in the Parade of Progress is the eight huge General Motors trucks which are used to transport the exhibition from one city to another. They. are said

FORD DEALERS
IN NATION-WIDE USED GAR SALE
Campaign to Sell 150,000 |
Units in October Is ‘Under Way.
For the first time in the history of the automobile industry, Ford dealers throughout the United &*- "es Thursday started a nationwide used car and truck clearance sale, which will continue throughout October, according .to R. A. Hayes, Indianapolis branch manager of the Ford Motor Co.
‘The aim of the drive is to put into the hands of new owners be-
fore the month ends more than
150,000 sound, dependable used cars and trucks, taken in trade n:the sale of part of the 1,000,000-odd new 1936 Ford V-8's produced this season. The drive is not only the first na-tion-wide clearance sale of its kind ever conducted by Ford dealers en masse, but also the first nation-wide event of its kind in the history of the motor car industry.
Aid to Winter Motorist
Begun just in advance of the advent of cold weather, the clearance sale is intended to enable those whose own cars are not likely to withstand the rigors of winter driving to acquire without great expenditure used cars or trucks which will serve safely and dependably. Many of the used cars and trucks in stocks to be offered by Ford dealers during the clearance sale will be marketed under the “R & G” (renewed and guaranteed) plan, an-
nounced a year ago. The “R & G” |
label on any used car or truck in the stock of a Ford dealer means that. the vehicle, including engine, chassis, tires, ignition, brakes and other parts units, have been inspected and repaired or replaced if found necessary, dealers said.
Permits Test Driving
The “R & G” plan permits a purchaser to drive a used car or truck bearing the label for two full days as a probationary period. At the end of this period, if he finds that the vehicle is not satisfactory in any way, he may return it and get back the full amount paid ! The plan was adopted more than a year ago. In preparation for the sale, dealers throughout the country are repricing their entire used car and truck stocks in order to permit clearance without delay. Used car lots are being furnished and decorated for the event. Arrangements are being made for special activities throughout the month.
