Winter Traffic Hazards

The war department is concerned
over the annual December peak III
auto accidents, and Robert P Pat
terson, undersecretary of war, and
Lieut.. Robert e. Raleigh, director
Of the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, have teamed up to
try to stop them.
Seven valuable tips, based on Ma
tional Safety council research. on
how to escape traffic tieups. skid
wrecks, lost time and road block
AIDES have been offered:
az Reduce speeds on snow and
ice. 1t takes 3 to II times normal
distance to stop on snow or ice.
Repair old tire chains.
Cd Protect visibility. Check de-
froster, windshield wipers, head
lights and keep windshield clean.
You must see hazard to avoid it.
~ Use anti-skid chains. Tire
chains reduce braking distances 40
to SO per cent and provide traction
on snow or ice.
| "a Don't crowd traffic. When
roads are slippery, allow three to
six car lengths for every 10 m.p.h,
because snow and ice increase brak-
ing distances 3 to II times over those
required on dry pavement Slipperi-
ness varies, glare ice at thaWing
temperatures being twice as Slip
perry as dry ice near zero.
i 90 Anticipate mistakes. Drive SO
/ that you are prepared for any emer-
gency under prevailing conditions.
Anticipate mistakes of pedestrians
and other drivers.
(6) Signal your intentions. In turn
ing or stopping on hard-packed snow
or ice, remember other drivers need
more time and distance to adjust
themselves to your moves. Give
them a chance. Some may have
neglected chains and have insult
ficient traction.
| (7) Mechanics are scarce and your
vehicle may have to last for the
duration. Essential transportation is
vital to victory. An ounce of pre-
vention is now worth ten pounds Of
cure.

America First

Here is slight picture Of what
the next war may do to our civillza-
ton If the nations of the world are
SO unWise as to permit another
world wide conflagration. Follow
is what one man thinks Of the pos
sibilities of new weapons that are
now only in the first stages of
their development.
Because the Germans were forced
to make public laboratory tests Of
their new weapon designed for the
winning of World War III, the vi
flying bomb and the w rocket
proiectiles which have been loosed
on, England in the past months, we
in Nhe United States are fortunate
in Mying been given previeW into
the horror Of the final war that
may once and for all destroy us
and our civilization.
Writers forecasting the power
and terrors Of this new weapon
need place no limits on their mag
nation, because experiments have
proved that the original technical
obstacles have been overcome. It is
now merely matter of develop
ment, and this development is al
read the AL priority in German
laboratories and industry
SINCE 1912 the Germans have
known that in order to succeed in
their next and final aggression they
must at the outset attack and de-
stroy American industry and de-
fensive potentialities They have in
vented the weapon with which tc
do this But in doing so they have
had to reveal it. We have heard
about it and those Of us who have
been abroad have seen it and felt
its impact. If we do not now make
every effort to- deny Germany for
ever the use of this weapon or de-
stroy her will and desire to use it
| we are asking for it and we are go
| ing to get it.--Exchange.

Pastor Plans Radio Plea
for Renewed Faith in God

A nationwide appeal for faith
in Jesus Christ will be issued
Sunday by the Rev. Erwin
Kurth. pastor of Redeemer
Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne,
Ind, and first summer guest
speaker on the International
Lutheran Hour, Station CKLW,
at 1890 p. m.
Discussing the subject, with
out Faith it is Impossible to
Please God" Pastor Kurth will
declare: What is it that induces
the farmer TO sally forth in the
chill spring air TO pillow and har-
row the ground? 1t is faith in
the dependability of seasons. He
works in the belief that in due
time he shall reap.
1.-THE scientist is a man of faith.
He believes in the orderliness of
the universe. He carries on his
resc~rch-work in the firm be-
lief that nature is not capricious,
but wholly trustworthy in the
operation of her laws.
Our seaman and aviators are
men of faith. They sail the I'M
chartered sea and fly the track
less skylanes firmly believing
in the accuracy of their instru-
ments Of navigation. Who were
the men TO fling lacery of steel
across rivers and chasms, to link
two oceans with a great canal,
TO harness the forces of nature,
to discover new wonders in the
heavens, TO bring to light mys-
teries Of the deep, to make pos
sible the elimination or control
of certain diseases which have
plagued mankind from. anti
guilty? They were men of faith.
When confronted by the impos-
sible, they said, We believe the
thing can be done; it must be
done; it shall be DONE
"What was it that kept mil
lions of people going through
years of blood, sweat, tearS?'
1t was faith in ultimate vicuy.
And if now we had no faith in
the possibility of establishing a
peace that will endure, for at
least a few generations, what
force is there that could possibly
buoy us up? In the years that
lie ahead we shall look, not to
doubters and unbelievers, but to
men of courageous faith to give
us times less hectic and chaotic
than those through which we
have passed. Without faith it is
impossible to find life tolerable."
