Lessen Winter Driving Hazards
By Following Advice Of Experts
All drivers can go on winter
ce and snow in safety if they
will follow the advice of the
experts, declares Richard O.
Bennett, secretary-treasurer of
‘he Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety.
“It is tragic to see drivers get
killed or injured — it’s bad
enough to see them stalled —
on ice or snow-packed streets
and highways because they
don't know the basic rules of
safe winter driving,” Bennett
said.
"These ground rules for get
ting places safely in winter
weather have been developed
by the National Safety Coun
cil’s Committee on Winter Dri
ving Hazards," Bennett ex
plained. "The rules are observ

ed carefully by all highly
skilled commercial drivers and
were developed after years of
testing by automotive engi
neers, test drivers, tire and
chain experts, government ofi
cials, and others who have
met each year to conduct test;,
of all kinds of vehicles and
equipment.”
The national authority on
traffic safety explained that
the ten commandments of safe
winter driving have been
widely publicized by the Na
tional Safety Council and
almost all safety organizations.
“Television spots are now
being used nationally by the
National Safety Council to
give more drivers a better
knowledge of how to survive
on icy roadways,” he said.
Bennett sums up the com
mittee's ten basic rules this
way:
1. Install anti-freeze after
cooling system is flushed out
and checked for leaks.
2. Have good tires. See that
tires have good treads, wheth
er snow tires or regular. Front
Year, with greetings to our
friends and thanks for all your
cooperation in the past. May the
months ahead bring you much happiness.

wheels also need good treads
for “cornering.”
3. Always carry reinforced
tire chains. Insure your ability
to “GO" on ice or in deep snow
with reinforced tire chains.
They are far superior for se
vere conditions such as deep
snow and slippery hills.
4. Be sure wipers work. Be
sure windshield wiper blades
are in good condition and with
arm pressure of at least an
ounce for each inch of blade.
5. Use your defroster. Keep
windshield clear of ice and in
terior fogging.
6. Make sure all lights work.
Headlights, stop lights, tail
lights and directional signals
should be tested frequently.
7. Be sure you can start.
Have engine tuned up for sure
starting in cold weather and
have spark plugs and distribu
tor points checked.
8. Be sure you can stop.!
Have brakes adjusted fre-1
quently, lirrngs checked and
free from grease.
9. Check battery frequently
for proper charge and make
sur*: it ;s always full of fluid.
10. Have exhaust system in
i i ier. Muffler and tail pipe
mould be checked frequently
to avoid leakage of exhaust
gases into car when windows
are closed.
"There are six principal
hazards of winter driving,”
Bennett declared. The two that
cause the most trouble are re
duced visibility and inadequate
traction."
The other four he listed are
(1) fluctuations of temperature,
(2) reduced ability to steer and
stop, (3) unexpected icy condi
tions, and (4 ice and s n o w
made slippery by rising temp
erature.

^ QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: When I retir
ed this year and applied for •
soeial security benefits, I had
already made $1700. My boss ]
has asked me to return to work
on a partime basis earning no j
more than $100 a month. Do I
have to notify you that I have
returned to work?
ANSWER: Yes. Even though
you will be earning less than ,
$100 in a month when you re- '
turn to work you will have ^
increased your total earnings '
for the year, thereby affecting '
benefit payments for the en- '
tire year. '
QUESTION: I have read ;
where the tax rates will be '
increased in 1966 and 1968. '
Why are these periodic in-1 '
creases in tax rate necessary? ! ’
ANSWE: The number of so- ’
cial security beneficiaries has ■
increased each year and is ex- '
pected to keep increasing for
the next 50 years. In addition, |!
many improvements have been :
made in the social security pro-1 ’
gram since it was first enacted
in 1935. Benefits have been
added for the dependents of
retired workers and for the
families of workers who die.
In addition, payments can be
made to disabled workers and
their families. Benefit rates
have neen Increased several
times to take account of rising
prices and levels of living. In
come from the tax increases set
for 1966 and 1968 will cover the
costs of these improvements.
