MONDAY DECEMBER 13, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ' PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Chief Gives Tips On Winter Safety To Local Drivers "Don't let death take your hol- iday," J. Wm. Elliott, Chief Con- stable, warned today in a winter and . pre-Christmas message to Whitby's drivers and pedestrians. "Ease-up in a freéze-up or a snow storm and be prepared to take prac- tical precautions necessary to min- imize the added hazards of Slippery streets and reduced visibility," the Chief advised. "Dashing out with- out a coat may land us in b: | with a bad cold, but driving too fast 244 and neglecting to compensate for winter weather 'and road conditions might land us in a hospital -- or morgue -- and spoil coming holi- days." There are far more traffic acci- dents in proportion to distance driven during winter month accord- ing to Department of Highways re- search, and major hazards are skid- ding and reduced visibility. Tests show braking distance on snow or ice without tire chains are 3 to 12 times as long as on dry concrete. Chief Elliott advised serious con- sideration by every driver of proven rules for safe winter driving. The rules, based on a ten year study of the winter driving problem by the National Safety Council, follow: 1. When starting out, get the feel | 391 of the road by trying tbe brakes or "unning" the motor while driv- ing slowly and when no other ve- hicles are near, to see how easy it is for the wheels to slide in stop- ping or accelerating. 2. Adjust speeds to conditions. On slippery surfaces and when visibil- ity is poor due to bad weather or darkness, conservative speeds are imperative for safe driving. On glare ice, the recommended max- imum safe speed is in the range of 10 to 15 miles per hour. 3. Use tire chains when driving 'on icy and snowy road surfaces, since they are the most effective and practical self-help for the mot- orist in increasing traction. They reduce braking distance 40 to 50 per cent on passenger cars and on trucks 60 to 70 per cent. Chains al- go provide needed "go" traction to prevent traffic tie-ups. 4. Keep the windshield and win- - dows clear of outside snow and ice and inside fog and frost at all times. Be sure your headlights, windshield wipers and defrosters are in good operating order. Lower the side windows, if necessary, to maintain vision. Adjust your speed to the distance you can see ahead. 5. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. The recommended safe practice is to follow other vehicles at a distance which will permit a stop or allow ample room for man- oeuvring out of danger if the ve- hicle ahead should suddenly come to a standstill: Remember, it takes three to 12 times as long to stop on show and ice as on dry concrete. 6. When you have to stop sudden- ly on a slippery surface, "pump" the brakes by applying them inter- mittently -- on and off. Jamming on the brakes may lock the wheels and throw the vehicle out of con- trol.

Pickets Guard French Border Brussels, Dec. 13 -- (Reuters) -- Pickets guarded the frontier today when 60,000 Belgian workers who cross into France daily went on strike against a French order pre- venting them taking more than half their earnings back to Belgium. The strikers registered at Belgian labor exchanges. A French Finance Ministry spokesman said in Paris that the French decision would not be modi- fied at present. Reports from the frontier indi- cated that the French employers fully approved the action of the Bel- gian workers, engaged mainly in textile, steel, and building enterpri- ses. The workers' move will greatly in- crease Belgium's already rapidly rising unemployment figures, which stood last week at 200,000. Today's registration will increase unemployment payments from more than 11,000,000 Belgian francs (about $251,428) to about 14,500,000 francs.
