ing by a stroke but blew it by
taxing a rs on the last 10.
This time he didn't blow He
went into the final nine still
leading the field by the same
margin. At the 18th, he dropped
in an unnecessary birdie putt
to, increase his margin to two
strokes. The credit for his vic
tory went to sensational birdie
puts of Is feet on the seventh
hole and IS feet on the 18th.

MANY CHANGES ESSENTIAL
FOR GOOD WINTER DRIVING

Raleigh"A wise motorist begins
to get his car ready for winter
with the first signs of frost, but
careful motorist does even more
than that"
This weeks tip on cold-weather
driving came from Highway Patrol
Executive Officer Major D. T.
Lambert.
cts essential" he said, "to have
your cars cooling system serviced
so that it can withstand the rigors
of winter weather, but it's even
more important that you change
your driving habits to cope with
the many added hazards that ac-
company the coming of cold
weather."
Among the changes he recon-
mended were:
Slow down at shutdown. Because
a greater per centage of driving
will be done during hours of dark
ness, it is necessary that driving
speeds be reduced sharply to avoid
nighttime accidents.
Turn your headlights on at the
first hint of dusk-before they are
really necessary for road illumina-
ton. This is advisable because
lights are needed for Identified
ton by others before they are
needed to light up the road ahead.
Give signals in ample time, be-
fore turning or stopping. Icy
streets and highways made sud-
den stops dangerous. You can
avoid rear end collisions by giving
the driver behind sufficient warn
ing as to your intentions.
Reduce driving speeds generally.
Frost covered road surfaces, which
are especially prevalent during
early morning and evening, create
BOBBY Traps" for unwary motor
lists. What might be safe speed
on dry surfaces can be murderous
on ice or frost.
almost everyone" Lambert
said, "knows that fall and winter
weather brings with it greater
hazards for safe driving, yet too
many motorists attempt to make
excuses for skidding accidents by
blaming their mishap on icy or
frost covered roads. Last year, for
instance, 178 lives were lost in
traffic accidents during November
and December. Many of these
deaths resulted from mishaps in
which motorists failed to adjust
their driving to winter conditions.
Be your brothers keeper the rest
of this year and drive according
to existing conditions of road and
weather"
