TIP TO MOTORISTS It's much better to be late down here than early up there — so drive carefully and live. the worst. ActUally, driving conditions on main roads in this area were pretty good throughout Monday, a fact made possible by lighter winds than usual. Most people in the snow belt area have learned to live with the snow, but the wind is the unpredictable factor. By late Monday, strong winds had blown up and continued overnight. By Tuesday morning Hospitalized Again With Leg Injury Brenda Johnstone, 18-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Johnstone of Lucknow, is back in Victoria Hospital again as 'a result of a badly fractured leg which she received in an auto accident last September. Brenda was hospitalized from September to early December after surgery, most of the time which was spent in traction. -,She was released several weeks ago, with a cast on the leg and was getting around on crutches. However, the leg still continued to give her problems and she was readmitted to Victoria, Hospital' on Friday of last week to determine how the problem can be corrected.
