SAFETY COINCII. NOTES

According to the Delaware Safe
tN Council. keep your head and
Fttp Your temper if You want to be
Il safe driver. The driver who is
easily upset or who allows himself
To become distracted so that he
cannot give proper attention to
driving is not safe behind the wheel
OF It car. 1t is true that hurrYin2 re-
suits in many accidents. 1t is also
true that worrying is probably re-
sponSihle for just as many highway
n'ishaps. 1t is Just about as bad to
tax" Your mind off your driving as
ii is To take your hand off the steer
ing wheel If You have load ON
your mind, set rid of il somehow
before you get in the drivers seat.
Driving nowadays. especially city
driving, demands constant alert
ness. You cannot tie 4 palt-time
driver.
y great deal of attention has
been given to the design and pro-
duCtion of automobiles that will aC-
Celerate rapidly and travel at high
rates of speed for indefinite periods
of time
While speed in itself may not he
dangerous, uncontrolled speed is
always dangerous. Obviously your
automobile muStmOVe at some
speed to be uSeful-but unCOntrOll-
ed speed cannot be excused Tn
controlled speed is never necessary
even in an emergency and endan-
&erS not only your life but also the
lives and property of others.
Your safe speed depends upon
driving conditions and how quickly
You can stop. Effective brakes
firm, smooth road surfaces good
visibility increase the speed al
which YOU can safely drive but
YOU should always drive at a speeC
slow enough that you can stop il
the distance that you can see to be
, clear this is controlled speed
You must see and YOU must bt

Farm Need Seen Big
Tire Market Factor
continued from first page)

Such is the present war deferred
demand for farm service tires that,
while the tire industry produced
during the first quarter of this year
four and half tines as many as III
the first quarter of 1871, only about
one half of the orders could be
actually filled" Mr. Sheaffer said.
Underlying the trend to tires on
farms are the facts that on powered
equipment they cause important
tuel savings and in all cases they
speed up work and make 1t easier
the b. f. Goodrich dealer SAID.
Tests have shown, he asserted. that
rubber tires save as much time as
"a davs and as much fuel as 675
gollonS in year for each 100 acres
worked. The time saving, he point
ed out, may be even more lmpor-
tant to the farmer than the saving
i'm fuel. as the extra time can be
used for improving the yield from
present acreage through more IN
tensive farming, and for farming
additional land.
Mr.. Sheaffer said that b. f. Good
rich farm experts are predicting
that the nations farm tractor
population" now over two million
would reach the three million marx
within five years He cited a survey
recently taken in Texas which lndi'
Gated that 30 percent of the ranche:
of more than 1000 acres Ill ina
state are in the market lor new
tractors.
THE tire industry is mindful o
the critical food situation through
out the world and the neceSSlt! 0
an ample supply of good farm IRE
in meeting national food produc
finn ouotas." Mr.. Sheaffer said
DESPITE the enormous demand, de

proved
