For Safer Winter Driving,
Take a Tip From The Pros
FLINT, Mich. — Winter driving can be safe, enjoyable and more

a group of
the nation's top drivers — Buick Motor Division s team of profes

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

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

ficiary of such a pow’erful
combination of extraordinary
privile g e s and im m u nitie s
under either state or Federal

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?
