"Ke~p warm and be safe" is warnmg g1yen by the touring and transportation board of the American Automobile Association in a special bulleti.n issued from headquarters at Washmgton as advice to motorists pl!lnning extensive late fall and early wmter tours throughout sections of the country where winter driving is becoming the rule rather than the exception . The A . A. A. board points out that carlessness in cold weather driving is largely the result of being cold. "Keep as warm as possible when touring in cold weather and it will be easier to observe the simple rules of caution," it urges. According to the A. A . A. a large percentage of winter-time accidents are preventable, warming devices being the preventive. "These should include suitable cloth ing, particularly_ warm gloves," says the bulletin. "Too many drivers are handicapped by numb fingers during their winter trips, so that if they are called upon to recrank the motor in an emergency, dim the headlights or shift gears they are at a loss. "It is foolhardy to attempt to make great mileage without sufficient stopovers for hot drinks and food. It requires more energy to fight the el ements in winter, and drivers cannot afford to feel that because they are stimulated by the snappy air they can endure more strenuous driving. "Keepin~r warm is the first rule of keeping safe in cold weather. Closed cars are proving their value in this connection, but even here the motorist must take definite precautions against subjecting himself to unnecessary exposure and thus to unnecessary hazards."
