Third, point is .''get the feel
of the road" by occasionally
trying your brakes or gently
pressing the accelerator, when
traffic and highway conditions
permit, to test the traction on
slippery roads.
Fourth tip is to follow at a
safe distance. well back of the
vehicle ahead, to have plenty
of room to stop.
Fifth, said the Safety Council,
remember to start slowing down
well before you reach a turn,
icy intersection or slippery crest
of a hill.
Finally, when applying brakes
on slippery roads, pump them
by quickly applying and releas-
ing them. This gives intervals
of braking followed by intervals
of effective steering while the
wheels are rolling.

Stopping Ability
Decreased on
Ice and Snow

Ice and snow cause amazing
increases in the distance a NOV.
ing automobile requires to stop,
the Delaware Safety Council de-
clared. THE actual difference
in stopping ability of cars with
regular snow tires with chains
as shown in tests on ice and
snow, will astonish many driv-
erS," said ]. H. Tyler McCon-
nell, president of the council.
Tests show the braking dis
tance of regular tires on dry
pavement at 20 miles perhour
is FL feet. This disregards the
reaction time-the time driver
takes to get his foot on the
brake pedal-which averages
three-fourths of a second and
takes another % feet at that
speed. The 21-foot braking dis
tance of regular tires on dry
pavement jumps to 1875 feet on
glare ice, or to go feet on loose
ly packed snow.
With snow tires the stopping
distance is l74 feet on glare ice
and So feet on the snow. With
regular tire chains the figures
show SO feet on glare ice and
46 feet on loose snow. With
reinforced tire chains the tests
show II feet on ice and 38 feet
ON the snow. That is why the
Safety Council recommends re-
inforced tire chains, said Nc
Connell.
The figures quoted were pro-
duced after years of expert
ments conducted by the Com
mittee on Winter Driving Haz-
ards of the National Safety
Council.
The subject is covered in a
film on winter driving available
through the councils film Ii
brary.
Mcconnell recommends six
basic rules for safe winter driv-
ing. The first is to have good
tires and chains and to remem-
ber that slower than normal
speeds are a must on snow and
ice.
Second is "be able to see and
be seen." This means keeping
the windshield and windows
clear, and to be sure the wiper
blades, heater and defroster are
working properly. Take the
time to clear snow and ice from
your windshield and all win
dows, the council president ad-
vised.

Egg Producers
Outline Goals
For '62 Market

Egg producers must become
businessmen as well as poultry
men if they want to compete
effectively in 1862, according to
Raymond Lloyd. extension poul.
tryman at the University of Del
aware. They must be able tc
deal intelligently with their feed
company, equipment source and
other suppliers.
A good bank rating is as inn
portant to successful poultry
operation as to any other big
business, according to Lloyd
To be able to borrow from a
bank and pay cash for feed and
supplies is Just good business,
he says.
In outlining 1862 goals for
market egg producers, Lloyd
suggests:
5000 layers per man as an
optimum size operation. This
means three men should handle
a $4,000 bird flock; 225 eggs
per hen housed; mortality OF
less than one percent per month
or IL percent annually; feed
conversion of four and a half
pounds of feed per dozen eggs;
95 percent of the eggs produced
grade A or better; and, less
than five percent cracked eggs.
Lloyd suggests every produc-
or be enrolled in some form of
flock record program. This is
the only way to tell if you
have reached these goals" He
also suggests studying market
and outlook reports. poultry
publications and bulletins, and
attending poultry meetings.
Seek the latest unbiased
knowledge you can get, he adds.
In short, be m o d ern-know
what's going on and be pre-
pared to meet the changes.
