TRY Safety First
And Last" Says
Police Chief Orme

Gears Skid, Two Killed, Three
Hurt =
These are the kinds of head
lines we don't like to read in our
newspapers, Chief of Police
Charles M. Orme said today. "But,
unless we take precautions now
against the added hazards of win
ter driving there'll be headlines
like this during remaining winter
months"
Chief Orme, in making this
statement, added that just as sure
as snowfalls and Christmas are
coming, there will be some drivers
who fail to compensate for the ex-
IRENE hazards caused by snow, ice
and reduced visibility.
Even as anti-skid chains are
needed at times to counterfeit snow
and ice" the Chief declared, wind
shield defrosters and wipers are as
necessary as good lights TO pro-
vide for adequate visibility. Such
equipment, during bad weather, is
just as vital as any functional part
Of car or truck. Drivers who
neglect these safety aids cause in
creased accidents and traffic tie
ups. If unprepared, they should
not drive until conditions clear"
The Chiefs warning is based on
his own experiences as a public
safety official and a new research
report by the National Safety
Councils Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards. The report
showed about 65 per cent of win
ter accidents occur on snow and
ice, and further recommended use
Of tire chains on rear wheels of all
vehicles when severe weather and
road conditions warrant them. The
other major cause for the "a to So
rer cent increase in accident death
rates in snowbelt states during
winter months is reduced visibility,
the report verified.
"Above ALL" Chief Orme said,
Eve need the full cooperation of
all drivers to adhere to realistic
winter driving practices if we ex-
pect to prevent accidents resulting
in more injuries and deaths. This
means adjusting speed to condi-
tons, using proper equipment, and
generally being extra careful out
Of respect for added hazards of
winter" "Try Safety First, and
last"

They gave the alarm Immediate

lumbia police were also reported to
pc searching for the pair.
