SAFETT COUNCIL GIVES TIPS FOB WINTER DRIVINO ill' : «r; Aiefcaeeleffets Excavate i Early Aatrlcan Campsites | Camp sites of some of the earliest (Inhabitants ol North America were ^excavated this summer at a site in |th e upper reaches of the Angostura 'reservoir near Hot Springs, S. Dak. The stone javelin heads found 1 there, buried more than 20 feet I deep by wind and flood since they | were scattered on the surface as ^mnch as 5,000 years ago, are<quite f similar to, although not identical ! with, Yuma points. These Yuma J points, in turn, immediately sue- *ceeded the Folsom point, the curiously flaked javelin head from New i Mexico which is one of the earliest j known implements made by human f beings in the New World. The Angostura site promises to be the most significant yet found Jb the survey of areas soon to be ! flooded by reservoirs. This is a cooperative project of the bureau ef American ethnology of the Smith- ; Ionian institution, the national park ' Service, and the bureau of reclama- • tion. ; Hie makers of these curious javelin heads apparently were nomadic banters. These sites in South Da- :kota could hardly have been more j ftian bivouacs, and no semipermanent habitation site has yet been The new "winterized" automobile tires are not as good as tire chains for stop-and-go traction on snow and ice. but some of them do provide a margin of safety over conventional tires. That information has just been released by the National Safety Council to help motorists combat the extra hazards of winter driving and to clear up confusion resulting from the claims made for many types of "winterized" tires. It is based on actual tests made early this year on the frozen surfpee of Pine Lake, near •Clintonville. Wis., by the council's Committee" Winter Driving Hazards. 1 . Ross Gr Wilcox, council trafffic engineer and director of the re search project, said tlmt ten of the twenty-two' test tire's - showed »n over-all improvement of 10 per cent' or better ovei1 Conventional tire's, two were inferior and ten showed improvement of less than 10 per cent. "But the improvement was not great enough to warrant less care or the elittiination of tire chains hen driving under severe snow nd ice conditions." he said. For example, the best "winterized" tire stopped on glare ice from a speed of 20-miles an hour in an average of 141 feet, chains on a conventional tire reduced the stop to an average of 72 feet, while the normal stopping distance on dry concrete is about 20 feet, according to Mr. Wilcox. "Progress has been made toward producing safer tires for winter driving," he said, "and it is hoped that these tests will stimulate their further development." The specialized tires tested were of three geueral types: (1> those which gain additional gripping edges by the use of "break-out" material -- salt, sawdust, peanut shells -- or by piercing, cutting or lacerating: (2) those whith hard material imbedded in the rubber steel chips, steel wool or steel coils--intended to bite into the snrface: (3) those with deep treads, studs or lugs principally designed for mud and snow, some of which were combined with the tread cutting treatment."' The tests showed that in geueral the lacerated treads were best for stopping, traction and turning, although one mud-snow tire was best in all-round performance. Other mud-snow lugs performed well pn snow and rough ice, but were of little or no benefit on glare* ice. Other conclusions of the report were: Natural rubber was better than cold synthetic for stopping and traction, hut aot quite as good for turning. It is easier to control a car on ice with a hydraulic or fluid transmission than with a conventional transmission because an engine stall will not lock the wheels. K. C. NOTES TALKING IT OVER Gomes again that time of the year when the McHenry council roster is looked at by the. gimlet eyes of the powers in charge and found wanting. Never wanting in quality but always wanting quantity. - . . * ; ' Usually when * follow has amassed a few bucks he'l1 never telling his friends and neighbors how to go about almost: j.ou.re a8 close tp the JbQttojn discuss the thing* pe: your mutual Faith. The chairman of membership wishes that you seek out that friend 4>r neighbor who hasn't availed himself of the same "good thlfeg" and get working on him. He'll enjoy membership, as you dp, but he doesn't know that until a member. It takes a bit of we'll admit, but the accompfjpk~ ment of this work will return a great dividend In the Ratifying service for your fellow Catholic, thought that you have aone a real service for your fellow Catholic, TABLE CONFERENCE Thursday night, Nov. 30, will be Table Conference night. The G.K. wishes fvery member who possibly can to be there. I am sure you will find this meeting well worth attending. The meeting Marts promptly at 8:30. STATISTICS • - Uncle Mike was studying statistics. He finds if you're average. every phase of their everyday lives. If he has a flock of shekels in the bank, he immediately becomes an authority on tho ciro and feeding of lawns. Infants, dogs and gardens He knows the score on investments, stocks and bonds, his methods of fishing, go'tfug, hunting; and driving are the only good ones. He's an expert on diet, restaurants and liquors, he wants everybody to live their lives exactly as he does. Why? Because he's had a few breaks, life has belen good to him and lie's satisfied in his own little Utopia. 'He's interested In having others enjoy life as he does and feels that the only way to accomplish this is to tell them how to go about It. We Here wondeiing why an analogy couldn't be drawn Mi'e with the same fellow, substituting a membership In the K. of C. for his money in the bank Does he go about, among his friends, bragging over his membership. Catholic action, charitable enterprises, goodfellowship, Communion, and a thousand other things? Maybe the answer is no. Maybe he'j convinced he has a good thing in the K. C. but for soma unaccountable reasdn is shy about telling his neighbor. Tell him how to plant tomatoes, sure, but don't *.eil him how to pitch in and help on the Catholic action. Why be hesitant about it? If your neighbor is a Catholic it surely can't be our of order to as you are' to the. top; G'JiYE. Slide Detector Fence To prevent train accidents due to falling rocks or earth Slides in hilly or mountainous regions, electrically charged wire fences are made to serve as detectors. If a falling rock or an earth slide breaks one or more of the wires in the fence, a relay is released and "stop" signals r^e set up to halt a train approaching from either direction. x Bovine Mastitis Perhaps coming years will bring a "sure cure" for all types of bovine mastitis, but that cure Isn't here yet. a veterinary medical bulletin declares. Penicillin, strepto* mycin, and similar drugs have a definite place in mastitis control programs, but such drugs are useful only against certain types of germ caused mastitis. They\J»re powerless against ,-tionjnfeafEous cases, which are more commop than some farmers believe, the^ bulletin states. Drugs used against noninfectious cases actually may do more harm than good because they often aggravate the iniured udder.

Forfd ReqalrementsVisty According tb a Twentieth Century Fund report those engaged in very active physical work require much more energy-producing food such as potatoes, flour, legumes, meat, fats and sugars than do sedentary or moderately active workers. They, however, require largei quantities of the leafy, green and yellow vegetables ' and the same amount of protective foods such as milk, eggs, and citrus fruits. Both the active workers, who become physically tired, and the sedentary workers, who become fatigued by the mental strain and emotional tension of their work, are alike in their need of plenty of restful sleep to restore spent energy and make them fit for the next day. Exterior metal surfaces whiciJ are unfinished--or metal surfaces which have been sanded bare' to remove nfst--need careful priming. The types of primers that are satisfactory for the purpose include red lead, blue lead, zinc yellow, oxide of iron or zinc dust-zinc oxide. After the metal priming is dry. you can apply finishing coats of regular oil house paint by the same methods you use when applying it to exterior woodwork. Exterior enamel » preferable for metal furni ture. T ' Production Cows Obod cows that produce 300 to 400 pounds of butterfat each year are a profitable market for farm grown feeds.
