The bulletin calls attention Co the many accidents, mostly of skid. ding variety, involving drivers dur lng the sudden freeze lest week which made road surfaces almost unUsable for vehicles not equipped with non~skld equipment,
 For the next eight to ten weeks" states the Highway Safety Com mission bulletin, motorists will tace the well known hazards which ace commpany New England winters, Vehicles should be winteriseG to ensure eftAclent mechanical opera ton. winter equipment should be provided and checked to ensure availability, in the emergencies bound to occur.
 Adherence to these precautions will provide as safe winter driving as it Is possible to develop, assum- ing the operator Is awake to his responsibilities and always on the alert, Here are the ten rules of winter driving safety
 1. Speed. Slow down on slippery surfaces. Use second gear in traf- fic frequently for better control Be cautious in turning or stopping. Use brakes judicioNsly, applying pressure internationally. Never jam brakes. Wheels may lock and throw car into dangerous skid.
 2. Windshield. Ample vision is es~ sential to safe driving, Keep wind- shield wiper in effective operating condition, Check defroster to ensure means of clearing sleet from glass, Remove snow from windshield and all windows before entering traf- ficways.
 3, Chains, Use chains for efaclent traction when surface conditions require. Equip wheels before start ing trip to avoid extra work in- volved in stopping en route on publicways and being exposed to hazards of passing vehicles, Remove chains as soon as slippery surface conditions justify, Tires should have good tread at all times.
 {. Pedestrians. Be watchful for pedestrians, especially during twt- light hours when so much foot traffic is abroad. Pedestrians are difficult to see, especially when street surfaces are wet and reflect lights. Tn urban districts vehicle movement during dark hours, par ticularly when workers are home ward bound, should be slow and careful
 5. Darkness. Twilight comes early in winter. AS stated in rule four the twilight hours are the worst for tafflc ancidents involving pedes- trians. Also for side-swiping of other cars. Dim lights In cities and

New York, Dec. 24-(UP)-What. ever you do, come Christmas, Pop, don't make like Santa Claus.
 Don't hide behind false whiskers, or a pillow belly, and deceive your own children.
 This somber warning came today direct from PSychiatrist Vladimir Eliasberg, father of four and grand- father of one, who claims that the head of the family--in the eyes of his small fry--iS overwhelming enough dressed in @ plain business suit.
 Seems Both As One Too Much
 When father comes out all decked up as Santa then it's sim- ply too much for tiny tots nerves" Eliasberg added. T know what I'm saying. To my children I did 1t myself"
 EliaSberg said that the idea of Santa Claus is splendid for infant morale, and that it wasn't the sight of old St. Nick bobbing around in front of the fireplace that gives a child the jitters.
 ~ . OiAC OOiklpnldIAO1l Ol SSCLlS HIS old man and Santa wrapped in the same bundle that throws him for an emotional loss.
 Let him think of Santa without seeing him. Eliasberg said "and that is fine. That is one thing But let him see his daddy all dressed in red, and that is deflnite- ly bad"
 Could Create Hysteria
 The psychiatrist pointed out that the child immediately sees some thing that belongs to his father, but also something that belongs to mysterious apparition.
 Consequently" Eliasberg ex- plained, he is apt to confuse his father with a ghost-and the ghost with his father"
 Needless to say, this might create hySteria when the ghoSt-father

Ry FREDERICK 0. OTnMAN

Washington, Dec. M.-(UP)-My poor bride gets no black lace night gown this Christmas, either.
 Last year there weren't any such female monkeyshineS on sale in all Washington; this season there were plenty. I found one black gown for S6.95, but the lady said 1t wasn't guaranteed. She did not recom- mend it. She said she doubted if it would last. The second washing, blooie for sure. Why she was ex- pected to sell such cheesecloth she said she did not know.
 A block and Q half down r Street, where Federal stenographer and diplomats's wife postle for geegaws, l looked at another midnight gown, $4e. 50. I asked, would 1t wearp This lady didn't exactly sheer: she said 1t was too beautiful for wear ing purposes.
 Clerks May be Worrying
 got out of there. What I'm try ing to say in my own awkward way (you, too, sir, would feel awkward if you'd been shopping for night gownS) is that strange things seem to be happening here this Christi mas shopping season. It may be that the Government clerks are worrying about their jobs. Perhaps they're simply tired of getting stung
 A gent in the 18th Street door, way was going good business in giant balloons, IS cents. In the capi- tals biggest radio department damned with radios big and little lphonographS, and television sets, was a large sign which said: Please take a card from the receptionlst and wait your turn for e salesman" Flaw.
 There were no cards. No recep- tioniSt. Nor customers, either. A rec ord tootled about the silent night over and over once again; the Idle statesmen looked unhappy. I priced Q television widget; $l,l00, plus tax.
 The toy department seemed busy. The trickiest electric train I ever saw was chuffing around the track. It was a beauty with two headlights, red running gear and polished brass trimmings. Imported from Ger many. the clerk said, by arrange ment with the U. s. Army. Price $ll0.
 Nylon shops Empty
 I poked my head in the door of two speedily shops, both of which had big signs: Nylons. Each place was nearly empty.
 Only line of customers on the sidewalk (to remind fellow of war time) Washington was in front of candy shop where chocolates were 30 cents a pound. Another store, where bon-bonS nestle on pure white velvet and retail at @ and up 6 pound, did not enter. Neither did anybody else.
 Here and there, to the goggle- eyed amazement of Washingtonians, were bargain sales before Christi mas. Electric heaters, 70 per- cent off Mantel radios marked down. Fur coast, reduced g per- cent.
 The liquor dealers were having their own troubles making up their minds. Scotch $7,99 at one store; the same brand. $ll.50 around the corner; $8.2O in the next block. Bour- bon prices varied as much and this year 1t paid dividends to shop for eggnog makings.
