Holidays Are Danger Days For Motorists Holidays are hazard-days, Dwight Havens, president, Ne braska State Safetv Council warned motorists and pedestri- ! ans today. j "Safety workers and law en- j forcement officers throughout ! the state are cooperating in an effort to curb the number of traffic deaths this holiday seas on." the official declared. December daytime is shorten ed three hours from summer daytime, it was pointed out. Most of this extra darkness comes when motor and pedestri an traffic is heaviest. "Because visibility is at its lowest in December, it is imper ative that drivers maintain wind shield wipers, and defrosters in good working order to clear away frost, sleet, snow and rain," Havens advised. "Because traction often is poor, it is important to keep brakes equalized, to reduce speeds, and to use anti-skid chains for snow and ice," he added. Emphasis was piven to the fact this is a month of holiday festivities, when people are so busy in shopping and merry making that many of them relax ordinary restraint in driving and walking habits. All citizens are urged to allow a bit more time to perform errands, whether by car or on foot. Walkers are ad vised to bear in mind that driv ers find it difficult to see dark clothed pedestrians at night, and that when snow and ice prevails it takes 3 to 12 times more dis tance for a car to stop.
