In sounding this watmr,ng, C. E, McTavish, Di- rector of Parts and Service, General Motors. Prc,ducts of Canada Limited, Points out that with modern auto- mobiles, the driver's control of bis ear is just as complete in the Winter as at my other time, but it fre- qu'r,61y requires greater skill to ex- ercise this control. The new driver contends. Air, McTavish, should be pyrticu ally 'cautious, during tete season when frequent rains, snow, slush, ice, and period's of hazy weather complicate the task of driving. "There is no better safety advice than. the rule that is now almost axionnat'ic," says Mr, McTavish," Always drive in such a manure- that you can stop In the clear space blind, A m•otonlet has thought he was obeying ,this rule only to find that the, stopping distance on, wet or icy pavement was something quite different frons! 'the stopping distance on bard, dIry concrete,' 1. Keep to a speed at .,which ,.yott can stop with a margin ..of ,-safety no matter what the conditions ,un. 2.. Apply the brakes gently and in- termittently at first, with the engine, still Ili gear and let the inertia of the power -plant slow you down. 65 3. "Feel" your way to a stop, re- leasing brake pressure at the slight- est tendency to slide, and reapply .rakes gently as 'the whets turn again, 4, If the pavement is very slip- pery, shift into second .,gear „when the speed Is slackened to eight or ten miles an hem', and then bring the Car to a stop, 1/ Hydra - Matic Drive' Starter Started The newly, perfected `EJiydra- Matto Drive," offered as' optional equipmet on the Oldsanobile for 1940, does away 'with eluteli and clutch •pedkM entirely, tis liquid coupling, which replaces then is saidto be waterproof and to make it impossible to stall the engine under any eonditione, "Cold Stove Cooking Over .a 'period of two and one-half years, avproxlmateiy 5,000 eggs have been fried on the induction,- .furnrace "ootid stove" featured in the stage presentation of marvels of science at the General Motors parade o5 Progress which, carried on a fleet os 0weutyasix mighty stream -lined tr'alleribtucks, has been touring the Uniteid States and Canada.
