Nolan 173-478, S. Hoover 176- 478, B. Stump 187-473, B. Kline 472. WINTER DRIVING MADISON, Wise. — In winter weather driving it is the sudden skid and inability to see out of windshields plastered with snow and road-muck that often maims oi’ kills the unprepared driver and his passengers, This is the statement of one of the top authorities on winter driving hazards of the National Safety Council Traffic Conference, Prof. A. H. Easton, chairman of the Council’s Committee on Winter Driving Hazards and director of the Motor Vehicle Research Laboratory, University of Wisconsin. “Tests conducted each year by our committee have given us considerable knowledge about winter weather driving”, Easton said. “It is my. belief that many motorists have accidents simply because they neglect equipment”. The.committee, on Winter Driv-' ing Hazards is made up of automotive 'engineers from Detroit, test drivers, government officials and .university researchers/ . “Our committee works in temperatures ranging down .to 30 degrees below zero on frozen lakes and fields and snow packed roadways to come rip with answers tlyit may save lives”, . the ■ traffic safety specialist said. . Here are some of Easton’s suggestions for safe operation in snow, ice, freezing weather and fog. “Drivers must be able,’ to see and be seen. Early .hours of darkness make it imperative that lighting systems are perfect, with both upper and lower beams properly aimed”, he said. “Keeping lights clean is often overlooked by motorists. Keep a cloth handy to wipe off road grime and a brush to remove snow”, Easton urged. He maintains that failure to keep windshield wipers in -top condition causes thousands of winter crashes. ‘‘Drivers neglect their blades and when they hit snow or rain they drive almost blind, he said. “It is foolish to put lives and a vehicle costing several ,thousand dollars in jeopardy by neklecting maintenance of wiper arms and blades”, Easton said. “Wiper blade rubber must be checked frequently because summer sun bakes the rubber and causes it to harden. The arm pressure must be firm to avoid streaking. Manufacturers recommend an ounce of pressure for each inch of blade length for efficiency in clearing off rain, snow, gleet, and road-muck”, the educator explained. “Equally important, our tests at Clintonville, Wis., and in Michigan have proved that in severe conditions, reinforced tire chains are needed”, Easton said. “Snow tires give you half again as much pulling, power in snow as regular tires, but when conditions are bad, chains give up to five times as much traction”, he said. Easton urges every to keep a set of reinforced tire chains in the trunk for emergency conditions. He warned motorists to be on guard when the temperature is just above freezing. “Wet ice at 30 degrees is twice as slippery as ice at zero temperature. The ‘polishing’ by heavy traffic also makes ice more slippery”, he said.

MILFORD YOUTH GO CAROLING The Milford Town Youth group, which is sponsored by focal ministerial association, braved the snow arid cold weather last Wednesday evening to hol'd a caroling party. They met at the Bethel Church of the Brethren in Mil r ford and proceeded on its rounds front .there. They stopped to carol at twelve places and once back to the church to warm up during the time they were caroling. Among the places they caroled was the Orn nursing ,home arid the home of John Hare, high school student, who was recently released from the hospital after suffering injuries in : an automobile accident. Carol Chambers was spng leader for the carolers. Most of the group of 35 then returned to Bethel church where they were glad to see the hot chocolate and cookies which had been prepared for them. The attendance banner for the Milford Town Youth was retained by the host church for having the most youths present, “Happy Birthday” wag sung to Mrs. James Chambers whose birthday was Dec. 18 and Worth Ganshorn whose birthday was Dec. 19. The youths were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Ganshorn and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith, Bethel youth counselors. The refreshments were prepared and served by- Mrs. Delbert Moneyheffer, Mrs. Chambers, and Mrs. Levi Chupp.

Milford Wins Four-Way Tourney At Wolf Lake

By JOE JESSOP The Trojans went to Wolf Lake to win, and that’s just what they i did. In their first game they played Cromwell. The first quarter was ragged. Neither team could hit the ' basket and everyone thought the I game would be a close one. After one period of play the score was 9-8 with the Trbjans leading. During the second quarter) Milford started to click and CromWill never caught up. l*he final . scoi'e was 80-47 Milford the winner. There were .-three Trojans in double figures. Tom Holderread had 20 points, Stan Stump had 10 and Jon Dewart* scored 15. OVER LARWILL . i ' Friday night’s game was a i thriller. Coach Jim Allen had two alternatives. He could piay ab’zone defense, but, Larwill’s Glen Stangland could stand outside 1 and. hit baskets all night. Instead of a stone he decided to play a man-to-man defense. Mike Zimmerman was chosen to guard Stangland. The first quarter saw Larwill, ahead by 10 points, We were not getting any rebounds, and this hurt because the boys weren’t hitting their shots. There was only one thing Mr. Allen could do, change to a zone defense. This changed the whole picture. We started getting rebounds and we started hitting. The buzzer marked the end of the half and the MilI ford fans rose to cheer .their team I as they left the floor. The Trojans had come from alO point defecit to head Larwill 46-44.' — ft was close play the third period, but Milford never let the opposing team get ahead. We were still ahead by two points at the end of the third quarter, 64-62. Victory was in the air and the fans seemed,/ to sense that Milford was going Yo win, and they did. 90-83. j Mentone has its Zolman and Nelson, Syracuse has Brewer qnd Longenbaugh, Claypool, had McKenzie and Conly, North Webster has Breezley, Sidney has Wather and Whitaker, Silver Lake has Parker and Shipley, Leesburg has Dukes, Pierceton has Cone and Slusher, Larwill has Stangland, Akron has Helvey, Triton has Feldman, and last but not least Milford has Holderread, M. Groves, D. Groves, Dewart, Zinlmerman, Stump, McClintic, Mishler, ' and Baker. In every team I have mentioned their are one or two boys that score most of the points, Milford has a nine man team. Everyone of these nine boys have scored ten points oi’ better in a game at one time or another this season. “No” team in the county can say they have a team on which everyone has scored ten points in a game. Not all members of the team can score in double every game. We would have to score a hundred points. But, we did our best in the Larwill game with six boys in double figures. i Keep up the good wo?k boys. We want that county tourney ? trophy. . ’ Box scores follow: MILFORD (80) — Mishler 112, Dewart. 633, Baker 403, McClintic 200, M. Groves 242, Stump 505, Holderread 100, Bowser 101. Totals 35 10 22.
