SAFETY WEEK IS
OBSERVED. LOCAL
"NEW YORK National Tire Safety
Week, which got under way yester
day and which will continue until
May 31, "will be a major factor In
raising the level of car maintenance,
and as such, a contribution to traffic
accident prevention." Alfred Reeves,
vice-president Automobile Manufac
turers association, declared yesterday
in a statement endorsing the cam
paign. Aimed at reducing the number of
highway accidents caused by smooth,
worn tires, by replacing them with
safe, new cnes, the drive, sponsored
by the Rubber Manufacturers asso
ciation, tire manufacturers, distribu
tors and dealers, la further directed
as a stimulant to business by In ere as -
lng production, consumption and em
ployment In the tire Industry and
others that contribute to It or are
affeoted by It.
Mr. Reeves' endorsement was one
of many received by A. L. Vlles, presi
dent of the Rubber Manufacturers
association, from leaders In the auto
motive Industry, heads of .safety or
ganisations, Insurance companies and
officials of civic and farm groups.
Also endorsing the movement are the
motor vehicle commissioners from a
number of states. Including Pennsyl
vania, Ohio. Illinois. Wisconsin, Ore
gon. Michigan, Tennessee, Missouri,
West Virginia and the District of
Columbia.
Excerpts from some of the letters
of endorsement follow:
"Your twin objectives of safer high
ways and better business Justify the
sincere applause of the general pub
lic and are worthy of unqualified
support." Paul O. Hoffman, presi
dent. Automotive Safety Foundation.
"Tires that have been used until
the tread has been worn smooth in
crease the hazard of driving because
they Increase the tendency to skid
on slippery pavement." Sidney J
Williams, director, Public Safety Di
vision, National Safety Council
"For the benefit of the pubyc at
large, smooth, wornout tires have no
place In our scheme of modern motor
vehicle transportation." Frank West,
registrar, Ohio Department of High
ways. "I am quite mire that your Na
tional Tire Safety Week will have a
great part . . . lnreducing the fatal-
ttfesnd wrecks which are happening
on our highways." Joe Boyd Wil
liams, chief, Tennessee Highway Pat
rol. National Tire Safety Week. Mr, Vil?s
said. Is being observed at an oppor-
tune time Just as the motoring sea
son gets into run swing and at a
time of the year when highway acci
dents traceable to tire trouble mount
In number.
"Hot weather doubles tire troubles."
he said, "yet many motorists fall to
take the necessary precautions to as
sure trouble-free travel In summer
months.
"A chart recently prepared by one
of the country's largest tire manu
facturers showed that tire failure hls
a high point In August, with .he
frequency almost as great in July
and September. "
"While the amount of driving in
creases In the summer months, sta
tistics show that It does not increase
nearly as fast as the degree of tire
trouble. For example, it was shown
thst while there was. a 6ft percent
increase In August driving over thst
of February, 140 percent more tire
trouble was reported.
"The relation of summer heat to
tire trouble was noted in the develop
ment of the modern outomobile tire
which experts claim enables motor
ists to get 40 percant more wear and
at 10 percent of the cost than was
possible several years ago."

Bradley states that tha manufac

diameters of piston pins, for example,
cannot vary over two ten-thousandths

Only two dangerous things can
happen to an automobile tire, a blow
out or a alt Id. according to Jack An
atey, credit manager.
"Five years ago the B. F. Goodrich
company introduced a tire with a
apeclal ply built in the carcass to af
ford protection against blowout and
now offers the SI 1 vert own safety tread
for maximum resistance against skid
ding. "More than 100 different tread de
signs and 380.000 miles of actual road
testing during the past two years
went Into the development of this
new tlte.
"Incorporating revolutionary non
skid and braking effectiveness as well
aa the advantages of the special ply,
the new tire will do much to make
motoring safe under all conditions.
"Skidding accidents during 1036
again showed an Increase over the
preceding year. According to ata
tlatlca compiled by Insurance com
panies, approximately 40,000 people
loat their Uvea In automobile acci
dentia in 1937, an Increase of 3.000
over figures for the preceding year,"

The week of May 14-31 has been

Week, and la being observed In all
parts of the country.
To c. C. Furnas, local dealer for
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber com
pany, of California, Inc.. however,
National Tire Safety Week merely
focuaea national attention on some
thing he has been preaching day In
and day out throughout the year.
"National Tire Safety Week la de
signed to call attention of the motor
ing public to the danger of riding on
smooth, old, worn unsnfe tires," Mr.
Furnas aald. "This la something we
have been telling car owners for
years, and I hope observance of the
week nationally wilt help impress this
deeply into the mind of every person
who owns or operates an automo
bile. "With highway accident totals In
creasing, rather than decroaalng, it
la important that motorists realize
the chances they are taking when
they venture out on tires that have
passed their stage of usefulness, In

an effort to get a few thousand mora
mtlaa. Ooodyaar haa proved that M
per cent of tha danger of highway
accident comas In the laM 10 par
cent of a tire's life. Old, smooth,
worn tlrea may fall at any time; with
new rubber the motorist is free from
worry from that source.
"In addition to the danger of fail
ure, a smooth tire offers no protec
tion against dangerous skids whan
streets get wet and slippery. After all,
brakea will atop the wheels, but It la
the tires that stop the car. Gripping
center traction, such as la found In
Goodyear G-8 and R-l tlrea. gives
maximum protection against sklda,
provides maximum stopping ability
in event of emergency.
"Many a car owner who believes
he can squeeze a few more miles out
of his worn tlrea may regret that
these tlrea weren't replaced with
new ones," Mr. Furnas concluded.
