Winter vacation trips pose driving problem CHICAGO — Some portions of our country don’t have the snow and winter sports that many of us enjoy; but every year, more people from every part of the country are taking winter vacations in snow country. This observation has led Donald C. Lhotka, manager of the national safety council’s traffic department, to consider a growing winter problem. In his words: “All too many tourists from states with mild winters simply do not realize the problems of driving under snowy and icy conditions.” As a primary example, Lhotka pointed out that drivers who are inexperienced at driving on ice and snow-packed pavements have little concept of the extremely poor traction that such surfaces provide. “Tests by the council’s committee on winter driving hazards have shown that braking distances on snow and ice may be from three to nine times the normal, dry pavement distance,” he reported. “It seems obvious that few drivers recognize this fact of life or take the necessary precautions to compensate for this vast difference.” Lhotka offered other suggestions for safer, troublefree winter driving based on recommendations of its testing group: 1. Make sure the antifreeze solution in your radiator and your windshield washers can handle below freezing weather. 2. Keep your windshield, windows and rear-view mirrors snow free and clear at all times. Replace worn, streaking wiper blades. 3. Clear head and tail lights regularly. A barely visible film on light lenses can decrease lighting power by as much as 25 per cent. 4. Make sure your car has good tires with good treads. In heavy snow areas, equip your car with snow tires and carry a pair of reinforced tire chains in your trunk. 5. Increase distance between you and the car ahead. Give yourself ample room for maneuvering or stopping if the vehicle ahead makes an unexpected stop or turn. 6. Pump brakes rapidly to slow down or stop; this technique keeps wheels rolling and helps maintain steering control. 7. When driving on winterslick roads, get the feel of the road. Accelerate carefully or tap your brakes while away from traffic. See if the wheels spin or skid. If either occurs — reduce your speed accordingly. 8. If a skid starts, steer in the direction of the skid —steer left if the rear skids left; steer right if the rear skids right. 9. Buckle your seat belt and shoulder harness every time you enter the car and be sure your passengers buckle up as well. 10. Drive defensively — traffic laws in other states may not be the same as those in your home state. When in doubt, slow down to give yourself more time to judge the situation. Classics provide Yuletide melodies In this century, hymns and carols of the Nativity have been composed by Peter Warlock ("Bethlehem Down”) and Gustav Holst ("Mid-Win-ter”)—among others. Often, hymns and carols have been set to the music of classic composers. One example is, "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night,” by Nahum Tate. Music for this came from Handel’s opera, "Siroe,” as adapted by Richard Storrs Willis. bluest of the blue chips is headed for I.U. Our frosh next year have an opening for we will be graduating a bunch of seniors who are now juniors so they can play their sophomore year —a better aim than playing as a freshman. Christmas vacation so J. Q. Fann will retire to the front of the fireplace and listen for a Ho Ho Ho 9 and Christmas cookies from the kids. See you right after the Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas we wish to you.

Letter to the Editor -r Help stop pollution

Dear Mrs. Cunningham: We received a copy of ‘the paper’ which was interesting so I am sending this article. You may print it in any paper you please. Help us to stop the pollution. If more fanners would avoid all poisons and chemical acid fertilizer on their farms, but then mix all the vegetation and humus matter into the soil, this would increase the life and thus produce far better quality crops. Many organic farmers prove this. Hie animals always choose the organically grown crops in place

of chemical grown crops. Why? The “experts” claim there is no difference, yet animals prove there is, because they can taste and smell the difference. Sick soil makes sick food. Sick food makes sick people. All the synthetic and artificial additives are not equal to the good natural organically grown foods, we know, our animals know the difference also. Moses J.
