Finish Your Trips
Right Side up, is
Good Advise

HELENA, Mont-Don't start any
trips you can't finish right-side up
by your own efforts, Chas. L. Sher-
idan, Supervisor of the Montana
Highway Patrol, warned here today.
Many of the mechanics you used to
depend upon to repair the ravages
of winter slides and glides have
not been returned to civilian use
yet.
An Army that moves in trucks
and jeeps, Navy that strikes from
thousands of multi-motored planes
and smaller sea craft, a war indus
try that still has huge tasks for
skill and precision to perform, have
first call on mechanics services, and
who would have it otherwise.
Rescue tow trucks are scarcer
and older. State, county and city
snowplows to keep streets clear
are scarcer and older too, and
men to man them are harder to
find. All in all, Supervisor Sheri-
dan pointed out, this winters mo-
torist is going to have to rely more
and more on his own good sense to
keep him out of trouble.
Winter accidents, research by the
National Safety Councils Commit
tee on. Driving Hazards has deter
mined, are most often caused by
inadequate traction or reduced Wis
ability. Self-help against the first
Of these Supervisor Sheridan said,
is matter of not neglecting to put
anti-skid chains on your tires when
snow or ice prevail, and driving at
lower speeds. Protection against re-
duced visibility can be provided by
defrosters and windshield Wipers in
perfect condition. Equalized brakes
and good lights are also more inn
portant in winter, he added.
Last winters traffic deaths per
100000 miles of travel went I'D
So per cent IN the snoW-be1t states
and "a per cent in the Southern
states, Sheridan recalled. So to be
able to see and able to stop during
severe weather, he advised, and
don't make that margin any worse
than it is already, or you'll be
statistic and your vehicle junk.
