Some will say that more cars are on the highway. This is not strictly true. Gasoline sales re ports show that slightly less than 25 per cent of the annual gallonage is sold during the last three months, indicating, if anything, less travel. And congestion during football games, Thanksgiving and Christ mas holidays can scarcely be said to approach the mass movement of motorists during the Fourth of July and Labor Day week-ends. Weather conditions and short ened daylight hours are blamed. But why should they bear the bur den when the motorist himself is aware of them and could easily make the proper adjustment? The answer seems to be that the motorist does NOT make the prop er adjustment. Instead of slowing down on wet pavement, and driv ing with more cautton during the early dusk, he goes charging along at 50 or 60 miles per hour as though he were motoring under smiling summer skies. Isn’t it true that most motorists drive in exactly the same way re gardless of weather conditions and the position of the sun? Isn’ t it true that "summer driving” and "winter driving” are just diction ary distinctions to them? This attitude is strictly in error. Proper driving in winter means prevailing speeds of 5 to 15 miles per hour slower than in summer, except under the most favorable conditions. Spots of ice, frost buckles and sudden rain and sleet squalls can bring death quickly if the driver is not alert and pro ceeding at a cautious speed. Win ter visibility also averages far lower than summer, which means, applying the basic rule, that the driver must proceed more slowly. Apply these facts to yourself. Are YOU a good winter driver, or are you also guilty of pushing your car along at the same rate in Jan uary as you do in June? BE A GOO If SPORT All this talk about what will hap pen unless trees are protected from slaughter and soil from erosion is worthy of study. But there is still another phase of conservation that is treated too lightly by quite a few people during fall and winter season, and that is the matter of conserving wild life. Protecting game does not mean refusing to hunt when it is legal to do so, nor does it mean abstain ing from the killing of such game in season as the laws of the state permit. Game conservation means nothing more and nothing less than being a good sport and killing in lawful season only a sufficient amount for your needs. It does not mean killing bv wholesale simp ly because the game is to be had nnd your marksmanship is good, , nor does it mean killing your quota if a lesser amount will meet your j food demands.
