After q Snowfall
If and When!

Careful driving on snow-covered
streets and highways is patriotic
duty as well as common horse sense
Col. Sheridan, Supervisor, Montana
Highway Patrol, said today after
another snowfall blanketed some
sections of the state.
1T is desirable to eliminate traf-
fic delays and accidents at any
time" he said, but with increased
essential activity due to war work
this Winter-it becomes imperative
We must conserve man hours and
automobiles that avoidable skiddine
and consequent smashups frequent
ly bring to war workers and other
drivers after a snowfall"
Research by the National Safety
Councils Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards prove that made
Quate traction and reduced visi-
bility are the two primary dangers
he asserted
The following A B c rules for
winter are suggested.
A. Test brakes for simultaneous
gripping Use tire chains wher
needed on snow and ice. Check
windshield wiper, defroster anC
lights for best possible visibility
during adverse weather.
B. Travel at less than even lega
speeds on snow or ice, and watch
out for pedestrians or for children
on sleds. Drivers must realize pro
lection provided by tire chains or
snow or ice does not duplicate dry
weather performance, but does re
duce stopping distances 40 to SO PEI
cent and give needed go Traction
on slippery roads.
c. Leave plenty of stopping room

More Used Tubes
Are Needed

HELENA, March IA final
search Of every Northwest home
for used collapsible Understanding
and dental cream containers, and
all tubes which contained medici-
nals--Was asked today by E. ].
Kelley, WPB General Salvage Ex-
ecutive Secretary for Montana.
Mr.. Kelley requested that these
tubes be brought as soon as possible
to drug, retail and chain stores
and, although the requirements for
turning in used tubes expired
March |, he urged that the public
and dealers continue gathering in
suitable tubes on voluntary basis
as long as necessary after the Of
fetal end of the drive to get all
available quantities to the tin sal
wage institute.
I'VE especially want tubes made
a year or more ago; because, gen.
orally speaking, they provide a
higher percentage of tin, than those
more recently produced" explained
Mr.. Kelley. "This. applies to tubes
containing shaving and dental
sSltdiIlS. 1uUeS containing OlnlnenLS
and other medicinals, no matter
when made, are even more valuable
for salvaging purposes because some
still are made of all tin.
Many householders have been
holding their empty tubes for one
or two years, thinking they might
be needed for extra purchase other
than the usual items of toothpaste,
shaving cream and the like. Since
the empty-tube requirement ended
officially after March /, there will
no longer be any point in holding
the tubes. SO we are asking people
to bring them in"
| The tin content of most tubes re-
Gently purchased is so small that
collection Of them for tin recovery
lis no longer worthwhile, Mr.. Kee-
lev said. But because there are still
apt to be tubes in consumers hands
that are rich in tin, he asked that
everyone make a special effort to
get their remaining tubes now"
Tin still is urgently needed" Mr..
Keely said, land Japan still controls
most of the new supply. Every per-
son can strike an effective blow for
Victory by turning in all used tubes
available-especial]y those of the
types described"
