Not SO easily remedied, he
pointed out, is the lassitude of
drivers who allow these condi-
tions to go on, without correc-
ton.
'I'm afraid it's going to take
an accident to shake some people
out of the dangerous rut in
which they find themselves"
Chief Weaver said.
For drivers who have the mid
winter driving blues, nothing
can pick them up more surely
and happily than a firm decision,
followed by prompt action, to
eliminate the small annoyances
and equipment failures that
plague their peace of mind when
driving, the chief emphasized.
''Do right, and you'll feel

best word of advice on this cold,

Motorists Learning
.Wintertime DRIVING
Is Not An Easy Task

"It's gradually getting
through to many drivers that
driving in the wintertime is no
snap" Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver commented today.
"Some have been learning the
hard way-by getting stalled or
by skidding into accidents. 9th
ers, while they can't point to
any specific trouble or serious
disaster, are nevertheless begin
ming to realize that the hazards
are present and that you have
to work at being a safe winter
driver"
Cold weather always causes
below-standard performance by
the vehicle itself, the chief OBJ
served. For example, tires which
grip dry pavement and bring a
car to a stop within q feet from
a speed of 20 miles per hour, act
quite differently on packed snow
or ice, where they will skid 70
feet to over 200 feet before
bringing the vehicle to a pre-
carious stop. Many drivers have
experienced this hair raising sit
uation.
Too. many windshield wipers
which seemed perfectly adequate
last summer and fall have failed
miserably this winter. They sim
ply do not ''bear down" with
sufficient pressure to move
heavy snow and slush. Wiper
arms should exert one ounce of
pressure for each inch of rubber
blade length. Check this at your
gas station, for safe visibility.
The car engine itself may be
showing a reluctance to get
started" in the continuing cold
weather.
These are failings which not
only test the temper of the aver
age driver, but could endangerI
his life.

The atomic energy business

but already 1861 is setting an
unenviable record for fatal

This is the gist of a memo

Mr.. Luedecke added.
Workers in atomic energy

He reported that only one OF
the injuries was caused by
radiation, and none of the
deaths.
So far this year, eight per-
sons have died in Acc acci-
dents, including three in q
