THE rLATTSMOUTTT. NT.r.KASTCA, .TOTIRKAL Monday, November 17, 1947 PAGE SIX Winter Warn To Car, Truck Operators Don't let Old Man Winter catch you by surprise, car own ers and truck fleet operators were warned today by Dwight Havens, president of the Ne braska State Safety Council. 'Face the threats of wintry months ahead in confidence that your vehicles are. in tip-top shape, particularly from the standpoint of safe driving," he advised. "Preparing an adequate defense will help you prevent causing accidents and traffic tie-ups. It's no fun to have me chanical failures, an accident or pet stalled at any time, but it's doubly disheartening to run into trouble in bad weather and then realize that a little timely care would have prevented it." Itrcis requiring pre-wintcr checkup were listed as follows: Brakes Be sure they are equal ized; Windshitld defrosters and wipers You must see a hazard to avoid it when it gets cold or snows; Tire chains Have them ready to use when snow or ice conditions get bad; Exhaust sys tem Check for possible defects, and carbon monoxide leaka-.? in to car; Electrical system Inspect to prevent added moisture of winter causing short circuits; Headlights Check for proper focus and aim. on bright and dim beams. Remember, you may even need lights during day when snow storms develop; and Tires Good treads are highly desirable because they help lots on wet pavement; but even new treads or "rubber chains" won't aid on packed snow or ice. Only metal tire chains will bite into packed snow or ice. according to National Safety Council tests. In addition to putting this standard and winter equipment in condition for seasonal use. Havens urged that drivers re vise their driving habits when the bad weather arrives. "Start a little earlier and re duce your speed," he advised. "Braking distances on snow or ice are three to 12 times greater than on dry pavements. Under severe snow or ice conditions, tire chains reduce passenger car braking distances 40 to 50 per cent," he declared. "On heavier trucks, buses, and tractor-trailer equipment, anti-skid chains are still more essential. They cut truck skidding 60 to 70 per cent. Chains also provide needed traction for getting under-way or climbing a grade. Other spe cial winter equipment includes defrosters, heaters, warning flares and fuses to provide pro tection in case of breakdown under winter conditions." Citing research by the Na tional Safety Council, Havens reported that in many snow belt states last winter, nearly C5 per cent of all traffic mishaps oc curred on snowy or icy road surfaces. "Foremost factors in the high winter accident rates are inade quate traction and poor visibili ty," the official declared. "Ac cordingly, drivers must learn to adjust speeds to conditions, use metal anti-skid chains when se vere snow and ice conditions prevail, slow down well in ad vance of intersections and curves, maintain safe distance between vehicles, signal inten tions of turning or stopping, and be sure of ability to see and stop according to conditions." "Traffic fatality rates jump from 24 to 53 per cent in north- j ern states during the months of ice and snow." said Havens. "We need everyone's cooperation if we are to get through the winter TREAT TAf ROUGH -UreS 1 Kicks, scuffs end scrapes don't fore these sturdy (imrds Oxfords they're protected by cuff-proof tips.

Seek to Bring Army Strength The department of the' army this week asked the nation's uni versities to cooperate in a plan which would help bring the all volunteer regular army up to its authorized strength of 1,070, 000 men. In a letter to university pres idents the department of the army stressed that it was the sincere desire of the Army and Air Force, to give veterans, as well as others, who are forced to forego their schooling because of the crowded conditions a chance to become familiar with career opportunities in the serv ice. Institutions cooperating in the plan will appoint a personnel counselor to work with the U. S. Army and Air Force recruiting service in a concerted effort to give veterans and other students every opportunity for an educ cation. The department of the arrhy hppes to "absorb" the surplus students, and feels they can con tinue their formal education while in the Army with the United States Aimed Forces In stitute as well as gain a liberal education by traveling through out the world with the Army and Air Force. in Blind Assistance grants.

Nebraskans Can Well Be Thankful Among many things for which Nebraskans may be thankful is this State's excellent liquor control statutes. These laws are clear, enforce able, and have the backing of public sentiment. They provide that violating taverns may lose their license. That's why, today, tavern keepers generally are striving to operate in the public interest to keep their places clean, wholesome and decent to eliminate sales to excessive drinkers and minors. You, as a citizen, have a duty in still further Improving the State's beer retailing condi tions. It's your duty to demand strict, enforcement of the law ... to discourage excessive drinking and unsocial conduct. The Nebraska Committee, U. S. Brewers Foundation, wants and works for strict law en forcement, and welcomes all opportunities to cooperate with citizens to this end. NEBRASKA COMMITTEE United States Brewers Foundation Charles E.

Judge Herbert Rhoades, of Omaha, who handles the domestic rela tions and juvenile court docket of the Douglas County bench. Judge Rhoades was very much enjoyed in his short and inter esting address. He enlivened the evening with many clever stor ies and gradually swept into the main part of the address that stressed co-operation and team work on the athletic Held, in the school and in the home. He urged the audience in their activities of life to play the game, while they were in the full tide of life. It was necessary for some to get into the harness and do their part, as everyone could not carry the ball. In complimenting the team Judg-o Rhoades told of the fine effect that church and good character made on men and wo men in later life as he had ob served from the bench. To the boys of the school he pointed out that they were com ing on the stage and would in the future years be advanced to places of leadership in the na tion and prepare the future chart of the world activities. The radio that was offered to the student selected by the audi ence for his service resulted in the naming of John Johnson by the large group by ballot. Mr.'Alkire told of the offer of C. E.

The firm had presented Champ hats to Richard Bintner in the early part of the season, later in the season as two of the players tied, the Champ hats had gone to Gil bert Peterson and Charles Ful ton. For the final Champ hat for the last touchdown of the season, the hat was awarded to Jim Aikire, by his father, Harold Alkire. Mr. Alkire also presented the radio to John Johnson on be half of the radio shop. Coach Merle Stewart then pre sented to Gilbert Peterson, team captain, the football that they had carried on many fields. This was autographed by all the players, the coaches and those connected with the team activi ties. The grace was sung by the boys of the squad and at the close the benediction was offered by Rev.
