Patrol Chief Gives Hints
Ga Safe Driving in Snow

Careful driving on snow = covered
streets and highways is a patriotic
duty as we'll as common horse sense,
Gen. Charles L. Sheridan, supervisor
of the Montana highway patrol, said
today after another snowfall blan-
keted this section of the state.
ut is desirable to eliminate traffic
delays and accidents at any time
he said, but with increased essen
tial activity due to war work this
winter, it becomes imperative.
Research by the national safety
councils committee on winter driy-
ing hazards proves that inadequate
traction and reduced visibility are
the primary dangers, he asserted.
The following A B c rules for Win
ter are suggested:
A. Test brakes for simultaneous
gripping. Use tire chains when need
ed on snow and ice. Check wind
shield wiper, defroster and lights for
best possible visibility during ad-
verse weather.
B. Travel at less than than even
legal speeds on snow or ice, and
watch out for pedestrians or for
children on sleds. Drivers must real
ize protection provided by tire
chains on snow or ice does not du-
plicate dry weather performance, but
does reduce stopping distances 40 to
so percent and give needed go
traction on slippery roads.
C. Leave plenty of stopping room
hatween voIl and the car ahead,
Take icy curves slowly. Pedestrians
should realize snow and ice increase
auto braking distances three to
eleven times, and watch out accord
ingly, because some drivers may not
have anti-skid chains or neglect to
put them on.

Relief Ships Reach
 Naples With Supplies
Clothing Milk, Vitamins, Medicines Ohr Necessities
 Arrive at Port; Relief Society Officially Notified

Thre ships with clothing, milk, vitaminS, and other relief materials from American Relief for Italy, Inc, have arrived at Naples, according to a cable received today from My ron c. Taylor, President Roosevelt'S personal envoy to the Vatican. Con- tents of the cable were made public by Justice Juvenal Marchisio, pres ident of American Relief for Italy, Inc, the only agency certified by the Presidents War Relief Control Board to send food, clothing and medical supplies to liberated Italy.
 Tt is important that American Relief for Italy continue to assem- ble quantities of materials and sup plies" MT. Taylor urged in the cable because great need already exists and the need will be enlarged as Allied armies move farther north and more territory is liberated"
 MT. Taylor's cable added, We be- liev the President will never have occasion to rgret the support he has lent to this humanitarian enter prise.
 The cable is as follows:
 'Thre shipments of relief supplies now being discharged in Naples. These shipments involve not only clothing but also milk, vitaninS and other medicines. Selection of sup plies suitable for provinces for which they are intended are now in pro- cess and by the end of the week these supplies will begin to flow into provinces into a central warehouse in interior Lanciano, which we have arranged as a central point of dis tribution. From there distribution into hands of most needy will take place.
 "The National Committee of Dis tribution now goes into action. We have secured cooperation of Amer ican Red Cross to the extent of fur nishing trained women who will re- side in the most devastated areas. They will assist in work among wo- men and children, and guid Italian Red Cross in those areas using American relief supplies. We also are making use of our American priests representing National Cath olic Welfare Conference recently arrived here, to take up temporary residence in most devastated com to assist local authorities in of distribution.
 The National Committe of Dis tr1bution has been able to develop facilities for transportation and dis tribution upon a wholly voluntary basis. We also have succeeded in ar ranging free inland transportation by truck.
 Tt is important that American Relief for Italy continues to assem- ble quantities of materials and SUD- plies because great need already ex- ists and the need will be enlarged as Allied armies move fgarther north and more territory is liberated.
 We believe the President will never have occasion to regret the support he has lent to this humani- tarian enterprise
