DRIVING HABITS IN WINTER
Effects OF sudden Temperature
Changes and other Conditions

"Winter requires new set of
driving habits to keep from skid
ding into traffic accidents" ].
James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council said in
discussion of winter driving haz-
ards sponsored by the Delaware
Safety Council and the National
Safety Council.
Outlining the effects of sudden
temperature changes on snowy or
icy roads, early darkness, slippery
roads, and other bad weather con-
ditions on driving, Mr.. Ashton
said the proper techniques for
winter driving were derived from
tests conducted by the National
Safety Council Committee on
Winter Driving Hazards for the
past 16 winters.
In these tests, he said, it has
been found that braking distances
can be reduced considerably by
pumping brakes so they are al
ternately applied and then COM
pletely released. This technique
also helps retain steering control
he said, and is especially effective
on glare ice and on hard packed
snow.
Describing the proper technique
for getting a car started on snow
or ice, Mr.. Ashton advised start
ing in second or high gear, thus
permitting smoother acceleratior
which may get the car moving
without futile wheel spinning
However, tests show that tire
chains provide much needed trac
ton to start and stop on hare
packed snow and ice,
"Winter driving is difficult ant
exceedingly dangerous for eveI
the best of drivers" he said
THAT is why it is important TO
motorists to realize they can't g
lickety-split into winter weathe
with the same set of driving hab
it's and equipment which they us
ed during the summer and fal
months.
DRIVERS must learn how to cop
with glare ice, snow, rain, freez
ing temperatures, and this re
quires the right 'know-how' G
winter driving"
Mr.. Ashton called attention t
, the motto which every winte
driver should heed: "Want to SUI
!. vive? Winterize Your Drive"

IN MEMORIAM

In sad and loving memory of my
dear husband and father, Robert o.
Cole. Sr., who passed away two years
ago today. February S, 1854.
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever been called away
We think of him in silence,
No eye can see us weep,
But many silent tears we shed. when
others sleep.
Our lips can. not tell how we miss him.
Our hearts can not tell what to say.
God alone knows how we miss him.
In a home that is lonesome today.
Sadly missed by
Wife, Son and Daughters.

What 1t Means

And so We come back to the ques-
ton: is this the best way to do to"
If efficiency is the criterion. the
answer is no. The convention does
in three days to week what a small
group of party leaders could do in
a matter of hours.
If party democracy is the cri-
terion, the answer again is no. The
direct primary is obviously a better
way to let all party members make
their desires known.
But if the criterion is the Selec-
ton of candidate in such a way
that the party can unite behind
him, wounds healed and breaches
closed, then it may well be that
the convention has survived with
good reason. For the convention
does many things besides name the
two men to head the party's ma
tional ticket. 1t provides an arena
in which compromises-deals, if
you wish-can be reached and hurt
feelings salved. The enthusiasm
exhibited on the convention floor,
by no means all spurious. is trans
mitted to the party faithful back
home providing replenishing of
party strength when it is needed
most. The convention tells the
world that the political party is
living. vibrant being capable of play
ing an absolutely basic role in the
government of the most powerful
nation on earth.

more.
Most Of the 10 alternates also
are Mahoney adherents.
Old Gucrd Is Missing
An even greater evidence Of Mr..
Mahoney's control of the conven-
ton delegation is this fact:
State Controller j. Willard Tawes
is the only member Of the delega-
ton formerly a leader of the Old
Guard, the name given to that
clique which controlled Democratic
politics in Maryland for the past
decade or so. Mr.. Tawes made it
because he deserted his Old Guard
friends in the recent primary and
fought for Mr.. Mahoney.
The transfer Of control from the
Old Guard to Mr.. Mahoney's New
Guard is only one Of the differences.
from Maryland's view, between
Chicago 1852 and Chicago 1856.
You will remember that four
years ago the Maryland delegation
went out 10 the Windy City obli-
gated to support Senator Kefauver
for the presidential nomination as
long as, in their conscientious judg-
ment, ne had a chance OF winning.
The Tennessee Senator had
earned that obligation in 1852. just
as he did in 1856. by winning Mary

position of an "uninstructed dele
cation"
This year, however, Senator Ke-
fauver has withdrawn from the
race since the Maryland primary.
That releases the current Chicago
contingent from any legal obliga-
ton to vote for him.
Heavily Wooed
In 1852 the Free State group was
heavily wooed by several presiden-
tial hopefuls. including the late
Vice President Barley. Senator
Kerr of Oklahoma, Senator Rus
sell Of Georgia and Gov. Hartman
Of New York. Senator Kefauver,
Of course. was pressing hard for the
10 Maryland votes TO stay with him
through the end.
On the first ballot. Maryland
stuck by its commitment and gave
all its votes TO Senator Kefauver.
On the second ballot. there was
much searching OF souls and Mr..
Tydings even took the floor TO read
parts Of the Maryland election law
to the convention. The chair de-
clined to make any Interpretation

Most Maryland Democrats watch
ing the Democratic National Con-
vention on television this week will
need program to tell who is
playing for their team.
In the place of such well-known
and recognizable Democratic per-
sonalities as Lansdale G. Sasscer,
E. Brooke Lee. Philip B. .Perlman
and Millard E. Tydings, the Free
State will be represented at Chicago
this year by such personages as
Paul J. Reed. jr.. Edward Dabrow-
ski, Julian B. Carrick, Simon p.
Jarosinsky and Edward Dougherty.
AS regular readers Of this space
know. the reason for the preponder-
ance of relatively new names and
faces in Maryland's 54-member
delegation this year is that the
State party recently went under
new management. Former boss
fighter George P. Mahoney took
over party reins at the State con-
vention last May %.
OF the 36 delegates, only two
were out and out supporters of
former Senator Tydings, who de-
feated Mr.. Mahoney for the sena-
torial nomination in the neck-and-
neck primary that preceded the
State convention. These are Senate
President Louis L. Goldstein and
National Committeeman Thomas

but became confused and succeed
ed only in catching hold of its tall

The Marylanders seemed all set
to swing TO the eventual nominee
on that third ballot. but received
conflicting reports on whether or
not Senator Kefauver was conced-
ing defeat and releasing his dele
gates.
In the end. the Maryland third
ballot vote was divided this way.
Kefauver 8l2. Stevenson s. Russell

bsndwagon in time we're led by
Mr.. Perlman and Mr.. Lee.
For many Marylanders. the high
spot Of the 1852 conclave was the
part the Free State played in keep
ing Virginia and other Southern
States from boiling the convention.
1t was Mr.. Sasscer who. as dele
cation chairman. made the motion
that the Virginia delegates be
seated despite their refusal TO sign
a so-called loyalty pledge. See
