For Safer Winter Driving, Take a Tip From The Pros FLINT, Mich. — Winter driving can be safe, enjoyable and more economical if you will follow the same basic rules used a group of the nation's top drivers — Buick Motor Division s team of profes sional test drivers. . » __•— I These expert drivers, operating at the G eneral M o to rs P roving I G ro u n d s test track, M ilfo rd , M ic h ., have been d riv in g day and nigh t, sum m er and w inter, fo r m ore than 33 years w ith o u t a lost tim e acci dent. In this period, they’ve logged m any m illio n s o f miles on new B uicks. j * * j - A . E. M cM an am a , general supervisor o f B uick s road test depart m ent, says there 're certain fundam ental rules fo llo w e d by B uick s d tiv in g team fo r safe w in te r d riv in g : 1 Snow and rain: “ Both cause wet highways and wet highways are a hazard. Even more important, though, visibility is cut down by either element, and this is the factor that determines your safe driving speed.” 2 Ice on highway: “ It depends on the traction you are getting,” says McManama. “ I f we're not getting traction, we get off the road." New Bulletin Available Bulletins on agriculture, nome economics and related subjects are printed each month by Oregon State and the LSDA. New OSU bulletins are “Judging the Meat- Type Steer,” Station Circular 707; “W inter Feeding and Manage ment of Range Calves”, Station Bulletin 584; A griculture and Home Ec. bulletins list, October 1962, and "L et’s Cut Meat” a P NW bulletin No. 51. A trazine has been released for use in a cnemlcal fallow program. One half pound of 80 percent m aterial can be used wdth two pounds of 50 percent A mitrole (Aminotrizole or Weeahol). This spray m ixture needs to be applied before January 1. Do not use on light or shallow soils. This m at erial should be applied w ith ground rigs only. Cattle should not graze growing crops or spray ed stubble. Two pounds of A trazine can be applied w ith two pounds of Am itrole for a two-year fallow pro gram. This may be useful for diverted acres. No grazing can be perm itted on this land. Safe speeds: "A good rule o f thumb in rain or snow is cut your speed 10 to 15 mph below the ‘Safe speed," says McManama. Clean, clear windows: “ I f your car stays outdoors at night, a cardboard or newspaper over the wind shield (let the wiper blade hold it in place) w ill prevent your windows from frosting. In driving, an open vent w ill prevent your windows from steam ing. Every window, plus the outside rear view m ir ror. should be clear." 5 Getting out of a skid: " I f you’re driving properly, you won’t get into a skid," points out the Buick supervisor. "But if you do, D O N ’T touch the brakes. You have to steer yourself out o f it. and you can do this only by keeping some traction." i i I i Warming up your engine: “ You should idle the en gine a couple minutes to circulate the oil. Don't the engine during this warm-up. When you I iace start, do it at a reasonable speed. In the new Buicks, watc'- •' ■ green light on the temperature indicator. WK "j goes off. your engine is warm, and you can turn your heater on." Drive a clean car: "W inter darkness is more difficult to drive by than summer darkness. You don’t have the light penetration. A car that becomes covered with sal, and road d irt is difficult to be seen by an oncoming driver, particularly against a dull gray winter background. Keep your car clean fo r your own safety, as well as the car’s protection.” Fall Work With OruainentaLx As the tops show yellow, it is a good tim e to lift these plants. Cut hack the tops short and dry the corms rapidly w ith w arm ^ir and good ventilation. A fter they are dry, remove old corm and and roots and place in trays .vith open bottom s or in mesh bags for storage. Store in a cool, airy but frost proof place. (Gladiolus) Bare rooted stock should not lx* planted until early spring in E ast ern Oregon. Nearly all types of pruning in our area should be de layed until spring. McManama sums up safe winter driving in two words — ‘ Be conservative.” i " I f you th in k 55 m ph m ig ht be safe on a wet road, then cut yo u f speed to 40. I f there's any question about being able to stay on an icj) ' road, then p u ll off the road. " I f w in te r drivers w ill just rem em ber that they can’t operate the way they do in sum m er, th e ir m o to rin g w ill be m uch safer, and enjoyable, in spite o f the weather,’’ M cM an am a says. f if l Comment from tho Capital — A MONOPOLY WE NEVER TALK ABOUT by Vant Neff « Recently, Senator Goldw’ater list and your name goes on of Arizona addressed the Sen the bottom of the list and you ate about the dangerous con work up but for some reason centration of union power that your name never gets very exists in our economy. fa r up the list unless you are Everyone is a w a r e that one of the ins.” union satraps can grind all Not much for a $400 invest transportation to a halt, cut ment, is it? off food deliveries, stall the This same worker goes on construction of defense instal to tell about a friend of his lations and stop international who was critical of union commerce at the waterfront. leadership.

How long have we unions and said unless we tAke been asleep? immediate steps to curb the The truth is that the Admin Frankenstein we have created, we are in grave danger of losing our free economy. In addition, the Senator read a letter from a worker In Oregon about union dues, fees and hiring practices. The Senator said he had been de luged for some ysars with such letters from workers in all parts of the country, plead ing to help against the ty r anny of union bosses. Here are some quotations from the worker in Oregon: "Try to join a union and istrations and Congresses of they tell you that you have the last thirty years have been to pay $360 initiation fee plus granting labor unions, more 3 months dues which makes it and greater privileges and im well over $400 to join.

This ? deprives workers of a legal right enjoyed by all of us under the Constitution of the United States. Immunity from the pay ment for damages for per sonal injury and property damage inflicted on employ ees or others by union mem bers engaged in concerted activities, such as str.ke , picketing, and violence. These are only a few of the special privileges and powers granted unions under Federal law. No other private organi zation, association, or indi vidual in the U S. is the bene ficiary of such a pow’erful combination of extraordinary privile g e s and im m u nitie s under either state or Federal law. In courts of law and before committees In Congress, vol umes of testimony have been recorded on collusion between unions, the abuse of the rights of union members, and in some cases, illegal pacts between crooked unions and employ ers — all in disregard of pub lic interest. To further illustrate favor itism to union bosses — where two business corporations a t tempt to divide a market, the Anti-Trust Section of the Ju s tice Department cracks down hard. Now take two labor unions. What does the "No Raiding” clause mean ? For practical purposes, these unions are dividing a market. The result of this union doctrine is that the employee can no longer join a union of his own choos ing. He can only join the one, union bosses tell him he must. Can you imagine the furor, if any employer arbitrarily took money out of his employ ee«' wages? Yet, this is exactly what giant unions claim the right to dn. The United Auto Work ers has a clause In its consti tution that calls for an auto matic increase in dues wh»a the strike fund falls below the $20 million mark. Do you begin to see that there is one set of standards for the country at large, and completely different rules for unions? Isn’t it time to act and curb rampant union power — while we still have the free dom to do so?
