Planning to visit a distant
relative over this .winter?
Counting • the days until you
head for Florida 'for a week or
two?
Your dreams of a beautiful
Christmas could turn into a
.nightmare if you should en-
counter snow as you mush over
the river and through the
woods to Uncle Charlie's house
or that place in the sun you
aim to claim ... if you are not
'prepared, that is.
Snow tires, studded tires or
chains, a shovel, a bag of' rock
salt, plenty of anti -freeze (in
your windshield washers as
well as in your radiator), ane
all the mechanical parts o`

lems. •
Hidden Snow Hazard
One of the ,
, hidden danger
of snow driving is the effect of
snow packed by hundreds of
e wheels in a short time. Some-
times this formis huge bumps
of ice. Hit a series of these ice
lumps at even moderate speed,
and your wheels may start
hopping. This can. be the first
step toward a hopeless slide.
It is 'not uncommon to see a
car in a snow drift or a ditch
because the driver lost con-
trol on bumpy, packed ice.
This danger is greatly in-
creased when your car's shock
absorbers are weak. Because
springs and tires want to
bounce .when they hit a bump,
your wheels .would Jiop up and
w, -
RUN
down with every irregularity
,in the road unless they had
some arresting force to keep
them where they 'belong ... in
contact with the ; surface of
the highway.
This is what shock absorb-
ers do — or are supposed to do
when they are working right.
When they are worn, they are
.just going along for the ride.
Essential on Ice
So when wheels, or some-
times- the whole car, seem to
begin a bobbing motion, the
only answer is shock treatment
. , new shock absorbers. This
kind, of control, plus generally
stable, tight steering, is essen-
tial when you must drive over
rutted, icy streets.
Play It Safe for
Keep Hard Packa
' Sometimes .at, this, time of
year We get so carried away
with all the excitement —L with
Aunt Minnie's first fruit 'cake
of the season or the way Sister
. Suzie, is going to flip over her
new ski togs, we forget all
about once of the most .impor-
tant parts of the whole vaca-
tion trip: the faithful friend
that will haul all of us there
and home again, hopefully
,without any problems.
Before you set out on that
trip for' the big family get-to-
gether, or whatever else you
have in mind for the holiday
season, give your car its
Christmas present early. Give
it ,a full. treatment check up
and servicing at your favorite
auto shop.

car. It is traveling at the same
velocity of the car. Should the
package become dislodged it
would move in the same direc-
tion of the automobile.
The package weighs more
than twice as much as a puck
or baseballs so, when the car
is traveling at 00 miles per
hour, a dislodged package l fly-
ing at a motorist's or passen-
ger's head is a potentially
lethal weapon.
The answer is a simple one.
Keep such packages stored in
the car's trunk or anywhere
• away from the rear shelf.

sional athletes ever know the
terror of stopping a Bobby Hull
slap shot or ducking a high
inside fastball thrown 'by Bob
o Gibson.• Hull can shoot the
puck at about 100 miles per
hour and Gibson can throw a
hard one at about the same
speed.
But unless the average car
owner is careful, he could
'learn of these experiences the
hard way.
