ALLOW YOURSELF ROOM

This is impossible, of course, where there is congestion and where traffic is moving slowly. Room is the chief need oi the driver who is called upon to stop on u slippery street or road.

ONE POINT TO CONSIDER

Virtually all oi’ tile latest cars are equipped with windshield clean- ers. This should be significant to the motorist whose car is not so elluilloeti. if tho manufacturers are willing to add to Winter driving these important aids which reduce their per unit. profit. it is recogni- tion of the fact that they are vital. ill connection with these cleaners. the automatic type is superior ill that it permits the (lriver always to keep botll hands on the wheel.

RETREADING IS HELPFUL

Motorists who have from a nlolltil to six weeks oi’ Winter driv- ipguilcarl oi’ them can make an iu- vestnleut in safety by retreadlng tires that need it.

However, it fre uently hap- pens that days elapse efore he gets around to the garage.
