Mr.. Macdonald brought out the fact
that the road system is being planned

render an economic value equal to or
exceeding the investment required.

WINTER VACATIONS

Popularity of Resort
Towns.

Many trends of the day are ascribed
to the popularity and influence of the

ment-winter vacationing-appea TO
be an even more conspicuous outcome
of the great increase in motor ia
cilities.
Speaking of the new trend Capt
Harry NJ. Horton, local automobile
dealer. says that few people who go
south, whether by rail or sea. appre-
ciate what an important part motor
transportation plays in the success of
their winter vacation.
There are the taxis TO rush the
vacationer to the terminal and thence
to the hotel. as well as the sightsee-
ing machines to enable him to really
see the country he has travelled to-
Capt. Horton points out. The excel
lent food obtainable at resort points
in winter is largely the result OF con-
venience of haulagG made possible by
the commercial branch of motor
transportation. and the ability OF
in winter for recreation is partly due
to the stimulation and prosperity of
business resulting from the general
use of motor cars.
When it is seen that the motor car
influences the winter travelling of
those who do not actually use their
own cars for the major part of the
journey itself some conception is had
of the influence of the automobile on
the winter recreationing Of those who
make short runs to resort points via

tinues as follows:
Danger of skidding.
Wet concrete roadways or wet
brick or asphalt pavements present
the ever-present danger of skidding
with any sudden application of the
brakes. This fact alone should in
duce more caution in regard to the
speed of wintertime driving. We
urge every driver to think of the
chances he is taking-and then not
take them again.
icy pavements present the most
extreme hazard and call for the pre-
caution of using tire chains of some
description. Otherwise the driver
will have no control over his vehicle
In case he tries to stop. slow down or
dodge some other vehicle at even a
moderate rate Of speed. Even with
chains on he is apt to be entirely out
of control without a split second s
warning, and he is more apt to skid
into a ditch. a telegraph pole or
worse than he Is apt not to.
Beware OF the rain that freezes as
it falls. if you are on a hard surfaced
road. Beware of the snow that turns
to slush and then freezes at nightfall.
Beware OF frozen snow ruts. also,
