Drivers About
Winter Hdzdrds

Don't let Old Man Winter
catch you by surprise" car
owners and truck fleet oper-
ators were warned today by
Supervisor Charles L.. Sheridan
of the Montana Highway pa
troll.
Face the threats of wintry
months ahead in confidence
that your vehicles are in tip
top shape, particularly from
the standnoint of safe driv-
ing" he advised. Preparing an
adequate defense will help you
prevent causing accidents and
traffic tie-ups. It's no fun to
have mechanical failures, an
accident or get stalled at any
time, but it's doubly disheart-
ening to run into trouble in bad
weather and then realize that
a little timely care would have
prevented it."
Items requiring pre-winter
checkup were listed as follows:
Brakes BE sure they are equal
lied; Windshield Defroster g.
Wipers-You must see a haz-
ard to avoid it when it gets
cold or SHOWS; Tire Chains
Have them ready to use when
snow or ice conditions get bad;
Exhaust Systems Check for
possible defects, and carbon
monoxide leakage into car; FL
ectrica! System-1n aspect to
prevent added moisture of
winter causing short circuits;
Headlights-Check for proper
focus and aim, on bright and
dim beams; Tires-Good treads
are highly desirable because
they help on wet pavement;
but even new tneads rubber
chains" won't aid on packed
snow or ice. Only metal tire
chains will bite into packed
snow or ice, according to Ma
tional Safety council tests.
In addition to putting this
standard and winter equipment
in condition for seasonal use,
Supervisor Sheridan urged that
drivers revise their driving
habits when the bad weather
arrives
start a little earlier and re
duce your speed" he advised,
"Braking distances on snow or
ice are 3 to II times greater
than on dry pavements. Under
severe snow or ice conditions,
tire chains reduce passenger
car braking distances 40 to SO
per cent, he declared. "On
heavier trucks, buses and trac-
t~or-trailer equipment, anti-Skid
chains are still more essential.
They cut truck skidding 80 to
70 per cent. Chains also pro-
vide needed traction for getting
under way or climbing a grade.
Other special winter equipment
includes d%efrosters, heaters,
warning flares and fusees to
provide protection in case of
breakdown under winter condi-
TONS"
Citing research by the Ma
tional Safety council, Supervis-
or Sheridan reported that in
many snow belt states last
winter, nearly IS per cent OF
all traffic mishaps occurred ON
snowy or icy road surfaces.
Foremost factors in the high
winter accident rates are mad
equate traction and poor visi-
bility," the official declared,
Accordingly, drivers must learn

column are those of the writer

do not necessarily agree with
the policy Of this paper.)
Dear Editor,
In your column, Up and
Down the Street, we see what
all the town folks are doing to.
ward the construction of our
city materially and they are to
be congratulated, to be sure.
But others to be congratulated
are the ones doing construction
work morally. They are doing it
on their own time and aren't
getting any thanks or profit.
I say they aren't getting any
thanks. That, perhaps, is an ex-
%aggerated statement, but they
aren't getting the praise they
deserve. If the many parents
that had children present at
the Halloween party Friday
night could have seen the hard
work and trying effort that
went into the party, they
would feel like personally
thanking Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Ross, MI and Mrs. Al Waldorf,
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Meeke, Mrs.
Grace hammers, Rev. Nelson
and many others who spent
countless hours in planning
and preparing.
Another project that is a
year round job for many men
in this community is the Boy
Scouts. Every Tuesday night
for over a year, Chick Lund
berg and his assistants have
taken care of the boys of over
80 parents and very seldom
has a parent ever come to a
meeting to see what the chill
dren were learning or express
sed thanks to the Scoutmaster
for his never-ending effort.
When Mr.. Lundberg took over
the Scouts a year ago he start
ed with less than IS boys. Now
the Scouts number more than
40 and their activities speak
for themselves. There isn't
anything going on in which
they don't do more than their
part. The last Saturday in each
month they gather the waste
fats from all the restaurants
and from as many private
dwellings as time will permit.
They rendered a great service
to the American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars on
Memorial day ond only Captain
Luce had the good grace to
give them the praise they de-
served.
Yes, III bet you are thinking
of many more thankless act
ivities that are politically rem
dered. I, too, can think of in
cidents where it would have
only taken me a minute to ex-
press my appreciation for some
public service rendered free tc
my children, but didn't. There
is an old saying, better late
than never, so although late
I'm now putting some thanks
where much thanks belong.

WARNS sTREPTOMYCIN
 NOT CURE-ALL FOR T. B.

JUNEAU Although strepto- mycin is the most promising drug yet used in the treatment of tuber- culosis. the Territorial Department of Health this week pointed out that is cannot be considered a cure for pulmonary tuberculosis.
 The Department warned that tuberculosis patients and their families should not expect miracles from the drug and should by TO means forsake proved methods of treatment in the hope that strep- tomycin will bring a quick, com plete cure.
 "Our knowledge of the effective ness of streptOmycin in treating pulmonary tuberculosis in human beings is far too limited to war rant too much optism.' Dr. Leo Gehrig. of the Public Health De- partment stated. More research is needed before final conclusions on it's value can be reached
