oEMEMBER the days when
II automobiling was almost
strictly a summer sport? The
days when muddy roads in
spring and fall, and snow
jammed roads in winter, kept
motor cars in their garages from
November through to May? The
motorist who operated his car
the year-round then was really
a bear for punishment.
Paved roads, the tremendous
increase in car ownership, So
cial and business growth, have
changed all this. Today the one
who "puts his car up for the
winter" is the rare exception.
Winter use of highways has
brought many advantages but
along with the benefits has
come an alarming increase in
traffic fatalities. So serious has
the winter accident record be-
come that safety engineers and
highway departments through
out the country are uniting as
never before in a determined
drive to reduce the heavy casu-
atty toll.
The most treacherous road
condition the winter driver has
to face is icy pavements. Snow
bound roads may stop or slow
up travel, but icy roads spell
danger with every revolution
Of the autos wheels.

The plan includes: Sale by c. &

The total of these debentures to
