Safety Council Notes

Many of the traffic delays ani
accidents that have occurred in
the state during the past winters
have resulted from cars being
stuck or skidding ON snow or ice
Today, J. H. Tyler Mcconnell
president of the Delaware Safety
Council explained why.
1--WE just can't blame the
weather." he said Actually, oul
streets and highways are main
tanned during winter in much safer
condition than they were years
ago = fact which drivers with
many years of experience will re-
member and affirm. Naturally, ii
isn't possible for snowplow crews
to maintain all roads in bare pave
ment condition all of the time
yet many drivers are able to drive
all winter long, day after day
night after night, without undue
delay or mishap.
"This points up that it is not
just the road condition itself. 1t
is also our own ability or inability
to adjust our driving habits and
utilize safety equipment to compen-
safe for road conditions. That fire.
quently makes the difference be-
tween getting stalled, having a
skid-wreck or getting through
safely"
! To help drivers learn from eX-
perience, without themselves going
| through the experience of causing
a traffic blockade or having an
accident, ]. James Ashton, manager
of the Safety Council, reviewed
re-emphasized the results of ex-
haustive winter driving tests con-
Quoted by the National Safety
Councils Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards. The following in
formation about traction abilities
on slippery roads, based on actual
tests and experience, should be-
come common knowledge to every
driver, he said:
l.. Snow tires can be of some
help, providing up to 81 per cent
better traction than regular tires
on loosely packed snow, and up
to % per cent Improvement on
ice.
2. Reinforced tire chains were
found to provide 313 per cent bet
ter traction than regular tires on
snow, and 400 per cent more trac-
ton on ice.
3. On dry pavement, a car
equipped with regular tires and
travelling at 20 miles an hour, can
be stopped in 21 feet On loosely
packed snow it takes so feet. On
glare ice 200 feet.
These facts, proved by scientific
tests, give a driver reliable infor-
nation on equipping and handling
his car during various winter con-
ditions.
According to Mr.. Ashton, "they
also illustrate that reduced speed
and extra caution are still required
on snow and ice"

Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HOLBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

December is a festive and gay
month which will be graced witt
a rich assortment of plentiful food
assuring traditional generous feast
ing from start to finish.
Headlining the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's Plentiful Foods
list of foods in abundance will be
a trio of popular favorites
turkey, broiler-fryers, and Gran
berries. All three may be served
as a feature attraction both fo1
major and minor meals and oc-
casions
The record turkey crop now
moving to market assures every
one of a low-priced holiday favor
ite. Retail prices are the lowest
they have been in many years sc
fill your freezer with a good supply
Be sure to select turkeys that have
the USDA inspection seal, which
assures wholesomeness and helps
insure quality.
Another main dish favorite, pork,
will also be in bountiful supply
in December. Pork marketings
during the last month of the year
will be nearly 10 per cent greater
than a year earlier. Prices will
be moderately lower than last
year.
Use apples i'm preparing holiday
meals as this fruit continues to be
abundant and inexpensive Nearly
all varieties are available, so there
is an apple to fit every need. The
fruit counters are full to over
flowing, too, with grapefruit This
years crop is considerably above
last years and the average.
1t has been a good nut year
also, especially for pecans, almonds
and peanuts. The pecan crop is
record large and the almond crop
is the second largest on record.
Let the family enjoy these crunchy
tidbits in full measure in snacks,
baked goods, salads and other de-
licious dishes.
For either a sweet touch or as
sweetener, honey does the job
well. Honey production this year
will set a record 276 million
pounds and grocery shelves are
stacked high. Use honey in bak-
ing for long-lasting moist cakes.
The natural sweet is also excellent
for glazing hams, sweet potatoes,
and apples.

Postmaster Pearce
Urges Early Mailing
(contin ded from page one)

(contin ded from page one)
Despite, careful handling every
year, too many packages break
open in transit ana too often we
have 10 puzzle over names and ad-
dresses which are incomplete or
simply cannot be read at all
IF lou have any articles Of un-
usual size or bulk, better check
with Ike post Office before attempt
ing to mail them" the postmaster
warns The limits on size and
weight of packages varies, depend
ing on where you mail your pack
age from. AS an extra precaution
against loss, Postmaster Pearce
advised placing both your return
address and the recipients address
inside the carton or packages be-
fore it is wrapped.
If you use Christmas stickers
or seals, put them on the back
of your Christmas cards and
packages so that they will not
conflict with the address on the
front. Make sure that correct
postage is firmly affixed to each
card and package. When mailing
gifts, it's a good idea to place a
piece of transparent cellophane
tape over the address portion of
the label to prevent defacing it
in transit. And always be sure.
of course, to include the recipi-
ent's full name, street address,
city, zone and state.
he
mailing period is primarily bat
tie against time, do it now" is
the slogan from here on in. Don't
put OFF your Christmas mailings
while you still have ample time
because this means that dreaded
pile-ups will occur at the post
office, causing unavoidable slow
downs in deliveries as the holiday
approaches.
The postmaster asks the coop
Grafton of all business firms to
delay mailing circulars and cata-
logs until after December 25th, to
keep the mails clear for the Christ
mas rush.
The postmaster said he is most
appreciatIve of the interest and
cooperation shown by the mailing
public so far, and reminds us that
all mail going long distances
should be sent by December 10th.
Christmas packages for local de-
livery should be mailed not later
than December 18th, and be sure
to mail your Christmas cards for
nearby destinations at least a
week before Christmas.
The Philippines number more
than 1000 islands.
