Strange Case of THI FOOLHARDY skier i ■ HERE was once a young fellow who decided skiing was as easy as driving a car on snow-covered roads. So one day he stepped into his new skis atop a slope, and pushed off. His friends were aghast! Such confidence! He knew little or nothing about the rules of skiing—how to turn—how to stop how to use his poles and edges. What happened? That’s right. He ran smack into a large tree. Everybody on the slope said he „ „ should learn the rules of skiing before taking such chances.; But nobody mentioned that neither he— nor most of them—knew or practiced the rules of winter driving. Doesn’t that seem awfully foolish—and childish—when you think of the terrible, death toll from winter traffic accidents? Just in case, here arc the six rules* of winter driving.' *THE SIX RULES OF WINTER DRIVING 1. Accept your responsibility. 2. Get the "feel" of the rood. 3. Keep the windshield clear.. 4. Use tire chains and good tires., 5. Pump your brakes. 6. Follow at a safe distance.
