Safety Council News


Winterize not only your car, but
your driving technique and attitude,
the Delaware Safety Council sug-
gested Monday in Thanksgiving
message.
Clifford T. Foster, Jr., president
of the council, suggested that
Thanksgiving is good time to give
thanks that Delaware's highway
death toll has recently been rum
ming a little below last years totals,
and to take steps toward improving
each individual drivers attention to
safety as a means of further hold
ing down the states accident sta
tistics.
And since the Thanksgiving sea-
son means that wintry road condi-
tions may occur in Delaware at any
time, he urged motorists to take
note of the following six tips on
winter driving.
/. Winterize your attitude-re-
member that normal speeds are
often too fast for winter conditions.
When the weather is bad, slow
down.
2. Have good tires preferably
snow tires-and for more severe
conditions, use reinforced tire
chains.
3. Keep windshield and windows
clear, and wiper blades, heater and
defroster in proper operating con-
dition.
A. On snow or ice get the feel of
the road as soon as you start out
(away from hazards of other cars)
by cautiously trying your brakes or
gently pressing your accelerator, to
learn how slippery the road surface
is. Then adjust your speed accord
ingly.
5. On slippery roads, keep well
back of the vehicle ahead to give
yourself plenty of room for an en-
ergency stop. Following to closely
is doubly dangerous on winter
roads.
: 6. Pump your brakes to stop on
icy roads. Jamming on the brakes
will throw the car into an uncon-
trollable skid. The trick is to slow
the car by rapid and intermittent
brake applications and at the same
time maintain rolling traction that
gives steering control.
There's nothing much you can
do about winter weather-except be
prepared for it." Mr.. Foster said.
Snow and ice, combined with early
darkness, frequent snowstorms and
spattered windshields, help cause
the high auto death and injury toll
in the winter"

Kent Home Doings
wby DO Have to Go to Bedl

why UO Il nave 10 TO W Dtus
"I'm not sleepy" says Junior, and
although this may be a try for just
one more TV western, it is quite
possible that he's right. He may
not need the Is hours sleep you
think he should have.
Juniors bad temper will usually
indicate how much sleep he needs,
says county home demonstration
agent Florence Y. Smith. The first
signs of tiredness or irritability,
indicate a need of sleep and help
you set up a schedule.
Once the needs are determined,
a satisfactory schedule should be
set and followed, Mrs. Smith said.
Variations in time and procedures
tend to confuse the young child. AS
the child grows the schedule can
be changed when necessary.
If a child resists going to bed
every night, it may be because he
feels alone and left out of things.
Or he may feel that the adults want
to get rid of him so they send him
off to bed.
Every child needs little special
attention at bedtime. BY reading
or telling story, listening to his
prayers and then tucking him in,
we give him sense of belonging
and feeling of security.
Often soft toy or a doll, to keep
him company, will help to break
down his resistance. Soft music
may help lull him to sleep too.
