If Ice Comes = Remember You
Can't Stop Car on Frozen Dime

How fast is it safe to drive
on ice or snow?
With winter weather moving in
on most of the nation, the Nation
al Safety Council has attempted
to answer that question in new
report issued by its Committee on
Winter Driving Hazards.
Considering only the road sur
face itself, the Council offers this
advice:
To provide the same stopping
ability available on dry pave
ment at so m.p.h.-
Speed on ice must not be
higher than rs m.p.h. with re.
infOrced tire chains or Is m.p.h.
with special winter tires.
Speed on packed snow must
not be higher than 35 m.p.h.
with reinforced tire chains or
% m.p.h. with special winter
tires.
The Council warns that these
speeds are measure of stopping
traction only. Visibility, traffic
and other varying conditions can
make even those speed hazardous,
it says, so the rules of common
sense should always be followed.
The Councils committee, COM
posed of IS testing experts in the
field of automotive and traffic
safety engineering, based the
conclusions in its report on many
years of testing on frozen lakes,
airport runways and actual high
ways.
The best self-help for the mo.
toriSt are reinforced tire chains
according to the report. Under
some conditions, special winter
tires may also be helpful.
Reinforced tire chains cut brak.
ing distances in half on both
snow and ice, the report states
Starting traction is increased sew
en- times on ice and nearly four
times on packed snow, as com
pared with regular tires.
Reinforced tire chains, which
have projecting teeth or cleats on
each cross chain, "are very effec
tive on glare ice in reducing
braking distances, opposing side
skids and increasing forward
traction" as compared with regu
lar round wire link chains which
provide good stop-and-go Traction
on snow but comparatively poor
resistance to side skids, the re
port states.
However, the overall improve
ment of even the best tires TESTED
is not great enough to warran
less care or precaution when driv
ing on slippery surfaces. Con
sidering the hazards involved
drivers should also realize that 2
majority of the winter tires test
ed were poorer or little better
than regular tires"
The six basic rules for safe |
winter driving recommended by |
the committee are:
1. Accept your responsibility
to do all i'm your power to drive

From where l sit, it wasn't
a0hat the sign said, but the way
it was said. People are usually
pretty understanding if they I'M
derstand what you mean. It's the
same way with differences of
opinion. Perhaps your neighbor
prefers temperate glass of beer,
and you would choose buttermilk.
What I'd like to see is for all of
us to "slow down." talk it out,

sumner consultants who are
constantly telling parents
about the advantages of a
Carnation formula in infant
feeding.
The Carnation Milk which
is sold today is a finer prod
uct than ever before, be-
cause of the continuing eff
forts of the Carnation Com
pany to put into use the
findings of it's thorough re-
search. For example, this re-
search begins as far back
along the line of milk pro-
ductlon as the breeding of
cattle on the famous Carna-
ton Farms just outside Sc
attic, Washington. Here on
this 1,600-acre farm, some
of the greatest butterfat and
milk-producing COWS of all
time have been developed.
And cattle from these cham
pion bloodlines have been
passed down to dairy farm
ers in every part of the
country to improve the quail
ity of Carnation Milk.
In each of the SO evapo-
rated milk plants through
out the United States and
Canada, special Carnation
controls safeguard every can
of Carnation Milk, assuring
it's high quality and uni
formity regardless of the
| region or climate in which
it was produced. These lab
oratories report to a central
laboratory which conducts a
Quality-control program that
has helped to make Carna-
ton Milk the most widely
used brand of evaporated
milk in the world today.
1t is expected that the
"healthiest babies" discov-
cred through this contest

PRESS COMMENT

THE LETHARGY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
ON BROTHERHOOD
Announcement last week that segregation has been
ended in all Veteran Administration hospitals marks an
other milestone in the advancement of democracy this
country. 1t is in keeping with efforts being made
other fields and other agencies of the United
States Supreme Court the matter of segregation
public schools.
While this going in government, the sports
world continued to advance it's program of promoting
democracy by opening doors to all Americans without
regard to creed color Only the Christian church
lags behind in advancing democracy and the spirit
of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood Man
This we think is serious indictment of the very insti
tuition that ought to be in the forefront pointing the
to better way of life in the affairs of mankind.

gangsters able to engage in their nearous trades
with the best of nerracal harmony, especially against
common enemy 1t remains only for the white and
Negro church to hold the line other institutions
will against the advancement universal brother
hood.
Not only has the Christian church, generally speak
ing been slow in the promotion of the brotherhood of
man, but it is swift and certain to cruelty any man
woman who dares get out too far in front in such
effort This be testified to in the of the Rev.
Charles Jones, noted Presbyterian minister of Chapel
HILL who was asked to resign simply because he put
Christianity above and the Presbyterian creed
Someone has truthfuly said that the greatest hour
of segregation in America is between II 100 and 49,
Sunday morning when it's Christian churches are at
worship. This ought not to be, and feel that the
Christian church, both Protestant and Catholic, ought
to take the lead in champonng the Fatherhood of God

Dog Lifts Left Paw
Due to I ruininq:
Wood Tick Cure
Bv Peter Booos

Nine out of ten dogs will shake
hands with the left fore-paw.
Why? Because most people who
train them are right handed and
the dog offers the paw nearest
the trainer.
The right food, medicine and
all-around treatment will cure
most children of st. Vitus'
dance. But few dogs can recover
from the canine parallel disease
known as "chorea." This is the
sequence:
The dog contracts ,distemper.
Sometimes, through wise 24-hour
nursing, he will seem to recover.
Then, too often. his muscles will
begin to witch and his teeth
to chatter. He has contracted
distemper's worst sequel, chorea,
Summon the best vet you can
find If you want to save the life
Of your dog.
Wood ticks are rather prev
alent. They are hard to re-
move once they have fastened
themselves to a dogs skin. A
good procedure is to put a drop
of chloroform on each tick
then pull it from the dog. But
when an animal is found to be
harboring many ticks. clip his
coat and soak his skin with
crankcase oil. This treatment
may sound harsh and messy. but
it Is better to have your dog
smeared with oil and tied up
in the barn or garage a few
days than to have him suffer,
and perhaps die, because OF
ticks.
It is perfectly all right to feed
a dog canned salmon without
cooking it. Do not give him
sardines, they are too oily.

day its petals fall. This rhyzOme
springs from an elongated. bull
bous root similar to that OF the
iris. It is planted in 5 inches OF
water. and nud--the habitat In
which it thrived In Cleopatra's
time.
In addition to the lotus, for
centuries q favorite subject Of
romantic prose and poetry. the
annual display at Kenilworth
also features two other members
of the lily family-the tropical
and hardy varieties. Like the
lotus their fragrance is faint.
The hardy lilies begin bloom
ing in June and are red. pink or
white. Two of the better known
hardies are the w. B. Shaw and
the Helen Fowler. The former
was named after the man who
started the Kenilworth gardens
in 1880. The Helen Fowler Is
named for Mr.. Shaw's daughter
who lives in her home on the
gardens property. She is 80
years old and blind. The hardy
varieties require deeper water
than the lotus but their stems
are considerably shorter.
Two Varieties Of Tropicols
The tropical lily, poisoning
into shades Of blue, red, yellow
and white. performs q unique
function for caretakers Of the
garden and for spectators who
visit the site. Unlike their
cousins. they come In two var
ieties- day and night blooming.
When the lotus closes about /
pm. the tropicals take over
and dominate the garden scene
until the following morning.
Thus. the gardens always are in
flower. The tropicals FIRST begin
to bloom In, late July.
The gardens, sold to the Gov
eminent is years ago by Mrs.
Fowler and supervised by the
Department of Interior. also are
the home of a pond Of ancient
Chinese lilies which sprang from
two hard shelled seeds reported
to be 1000 to $4,000 years old.
The seeds were uncovered in
South Manchuria in 1851 by
DR.. Ralph w. CLANCY, West
Coast paleontologist. Their ger
mination here one year later
caused a mild sensation in the
world of flowers. One produced
a red bloom and the other a pink.
Today a special pond in Kenil-
worth is bursting at its bikes
with blooms of both colors.
It is also Interiors job to
maintain several concrete pools
spotted throughout the city.
Water lilies seen in Meridian
Hill Park Chevy Chase Circle

mall are few Of the depart
ment's charges.

FirebIight Unusually
Widespread This Yeor

Fireblight-a disease which af-

abundant in Virginia this year
It causes a dying back of the
branches, sometimes as much as
three or four feet or more. There
is little to be done now to con-
troll it other than to prune out
the affected branches and thus
remove the source Of infection.
Sprays during the blossom cycle

ease. Some OF the arltibiotics,
such as streptomycin. show
promise.
