JAFETYS; Wet Weather Driving Tips Rains bring with them especially hazardous highway conditions. Driving through . heavy rain or standing water can result in engine drownout, brake failure and loss of vehicle control, warns the Safe Driving Bureau of Budget Rent a Car Corporation. The Budget Safe Driving Bureau suggests driving through water puddles slowly. Speeding causes water to splash into the engine, and " the car may stall. If this happens, try to coast to the side of the road and wait for the engine to dry out. Turn on the car’s emergency flashing lights to alert other autos of your location. The Bureau also advises lightly applying the brakes after driving through deep water. This dries them out and assures a safe stop. Another hazard of driving too fast in rainy conditions is hydroplaning — when the car skims over the water, losing road contact and causing it to go out of control. Take your foot off of the accelerator so that your tires can regain traction. Finally, the Bureau advises, if you can’t judge/how deep the water on the highway is, don’t cross at all. The U.S. Department of Transportation says that every year people are drowned trying to drive across flooded roads.

g»>lf facts & fancies PUTTING- KEY TO GOLFING SUCCESS

A woman golfer’s short game—chipping, and especially putting—can be the key to her golfing success. And, according to golfing experts, it is also easier to develop than the long game. Since a woman golfer generally will not be able to regularly send a ball soaring 200 yards down the fairway as a man can, she has to depend ,on her putting accuracy. Many of today’s leading woman golfers owe much of their consistently low scoring to fine putting. Putting is an individual matter. PGA Golf has personalized putting for women to an even greater extent by developing the Butterfly T-Line putter. This putting innovation is designed specifically for a woman’s putting stroke. The T-Line on the blade helps line up the ball with the hole, and _ the putter is specially weighted to help a woman move the clubhead through the ball in a straight line. For daily practice, when time on the golf course is not practical, the experts at PGA golf suggest practice putting indoors. And this is one case where practice really does make perfect. Here’s how: * Choose a heavy tumbler. * Turn it on its side on an even, carpeted surface (shag carpeting will distort the ball’s roll). * Scatter several balls on the floor. Starting close to the “hole,” then moving progressively farther away, putt the balls into the tumbler. * Keep your head and your body still as you stroke the ball. * The shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands should all move in one piece like a pendulum. * Be especially careful in keeping the putter blade square to the “hole,” and keep it moving in a straight

line. Turning the club inward or opening the blade' outward when striking the ball can result in wide directional error. * Make sure you are not using too long a backstroke. For a five-foot putt or less, the blade should go back only a few inches. Putting is a stroke of finesse and feeling. * Practice! Practice! Practice! It’s the only way to improve and lower your score. WwMfe/yQ One of the many incred-ible-but-true moments in sports happened during the third game of the ’32 World Series when Babe Ruth called / his home-run shot. Ruth had I good naturedly taken the' Chicago Cubs’ players’ insults and even a pelting with lemons from Cub fans. Coming up to the plate in the fifth, the Babe felt it was time to get back at them all with his bat. He brazenly pointed to the center-field bleachers to indicate he was determined to hit a home run. Then promptly, on the very next pitch, he blasted the ball into the center-field stands for a home run. — wxu Ruth’s successful prediction of his mighty home-run drive was probably a million-to-one shot.
