The nearsighted MISTER MAGOO to your holiday? Before you set out, look over your maps carefully to determine whether a free su perhighway will serve you as well as a toll road will. ' Sustained high-speed driving is differ ent than your normal daily stint behind ' the wheel. Keep pace with traffic, neither much faster nor slower. To stay alert, eat lightly. Stop for a breather after the first three hours of travel and every 100 miles thereafter. The respite will benefit the driver and everyone in the car. How far should you drive? Set a daily limit of 450 miles at the most Driving at high speed is one thing, but driving at high speed when tired is another. To increase your mileage, gas consump tion, and safety, travel when highway traffic is lightest.. Statistics show that Sat urday is the week's worst day for acci dents and Sunday the second worst. Pick a weekday, any weekday, and start early say at 7 a.m., before the local rush hour begins. The prettiest, most inspiring hour of day is morning twilight. Stop early, too, especially before evening twi light; the shadows become deceptive and tricky after a day behind the wheel. Now we can travel the lesser roads in confidence, for there are none of the dirt surfaced, unmarked paths the early mo torists were forced to use. And here is the last refuge of the genuine tourist, who proceeds in his unhurried way. This is the way to utilize your car as a vacation vehicle; to scout the country for yourself and discover friendly communi ties; to explore the lesser-known national monuments and state parks, locating out standing areas which still give you the sense of finding something new. For the real sport of touring, think of the pursuit of the open road as part of the . vacation experience; moderate your speed and enjoy the countryside, its landscape, villages, and architecture. These are the hidden glories of America that ask to be seen and appreciated. publblml tr Dovbbday t Co., Inc., Gardtn City, N.Y.) . Family Weekly, April 2, 1961 . 13 i I mmw 1 I DRIVE BY 11 r ft .
