A well-designed road should have an acceleration lane for entering cars so that they can reach the proper pace before mergin'g with traffic. 5. Speed makes it foolhardy to follow another car closely, as proved by the multiple chain reaction crashes that have occurred^ on superhighways. The interval of one car length for every 10 miles of speed is not enough on 4he expressway. So allow plenty of room for slowing and stop- „ ping.

Authorities finally had to impose speed limits on the super roads, because the average driver just couldn't cope with upwards of 70 m.p.h.

But at 70, it will take you 77.,feet to get on the brake and 256 feet more to stop! 6. Stopping on a superhighway is dangerous because high speed cars often are unable to stop or veer out in time. This is especially true at night when cars may be traveling too fast to stop within the distance illuminated by headlights. Don't stop on a superhighway for frivolous reasons.

So try to drive at about the same pace as traffic in general--neither passing nor being passed frequently. 3. Such differences in speed cause one of the most caramon types of superhighway accident --the rear-end collision in overtaking and passing. Fast drivers close the gap on trucks, buses and slower-moving cars much more quickly than they expect from their previous experience. Results: they swing out too late to clear the vehicle ahead or fail to see it in time at night. 4.* Another common accident location is the interchange--the cloverleaf intersection or other means of entry and exit.

A f, measured, the trance-like state | FORESTER WARNS induced by mile after mile of effortless driving, ,of visual com centration on the car or taillight ahead, and of listening to the drone of the motor and the rush of wiria~undoubtedly dulls alertness. The alarms, dangers and minor emergencies Common to driving on old roads keep the instinct of self-preservation functioning; on the superhighway, this animal awareness of danger is lulled and relaxed -- too much.. So play the radio, converse with passengers, play license plate poker or do .anything that will keep you from being mesmerised 'by iJteady, fast driving. 8. When seeking distraction, though, don't, take your eyes from the road. 9. Bad weather lfoakes the superhighway no better than the ordinary road. It may even ,be worse, because some drivers still " Jr will be going too fast. 10. By all means don't drive on a superhighway if you are tired or sleepy or if you feel ill. Fast diving requires the utmost alertness and . attention. ROAD PROGRAM Bids were received by the state Division of Highways at Springfield Aug. 21 on road work costing approximately $11,- 400,000. The various projects are located in 38 counties. Prevention is the best cure for plant poisoning in your livestock. And the best way to prevent plant poisoning is to keep your animals out of the woods, says Harold Scholten, extension for-, ester at the University of 'Illinois College of. Agriculture. Figures have not been collected to show how much money plant poisoning costs Illinois farmers each year in death loss and nonproduction, Sholten says. But there is one .report where the estimated loss to a farmer caused by white snakeroot over several years amounted to $20,000. About a dozen species of plants 'iiig to the- c'forest6r<"-,"':#ai^ fi^ Of these are trees., Some, of:., course, are more' poisonous than others. Generally, all can prove fatal if the animal eats enough' either at one time or over a longer time. Poisonous plants include buttercups, larkspur, Dutchman'^ breeches, jack-in-the-pulpit, pokeberry, bracken fern and white snakeroot. The trees include the oaks, Kentucky coffee tree, Ohio buckeye, black locus;t and cherries. • Sometimes it's tiie leaves, sometimes the roots or 9ther parts of the plants that contain the poisonous materials, Scholten says. Best policy is to keep^ your animals away from all of " them. are poisonous to animals, accord- today. Want Ads. bring Msulta.
