More than likely, it is just one of our advertising representative^ or maybe even the whole staff. Many times they work late creating good copy for our advertisers. Some times they even take their work home (both physically and mentally.) We Certainly do not recommend all these extra hours for our display advertising staff,but we can't get them to stop....well that's the way it goes when you have a creative display advertising department. WEIL BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL FOR YOU I Fuel Shortage Adds To Woes Of Winter Driving The mounting energy crisis, fuel shortages and pollution controls, when combined .with the usual hazards of winter driving, may make this, winter a real nightmare for drivers, according to a national traffic safety authority. Douglas M. Fergussion, chairman of the National Safety Council's Traffic ̂ con­ ference, warned drivers that slippery pavements and reduced visibility will com­ pound driving problems in many parts of the country throughout the winter months. "In view of the current concern about fuel con­ servation and pollution con­ trols, engine tune-ups and good vehicle maintenance can be critical factors in getting through the winter months without mechanical failures that can lead to traffic jams and accidents," Fergusson said. "First and most im­ portantly, .have your engine tuned by a competent mechanic. A tune-up should include inspection of the electrical system, timing, points, plugs and the emission control devices on late model cars. This will reduce fuel consumption, while at the same time assuring dependable starting at low temperatures and fewer stalls in traffic." In addition to the basic tune- up, he urged drivers to also heed the following equipment recommendations that have been developed by the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards of which he serves as a mpmber: HEATER-DEFROSTER SYSTEM - must clear fog and frost off your windshield rapidly - and keep it clear. If not functioning properly, check the thermostat or adjustments to thecontrol mechanism. Your check should also include the rear window defroster if your vehicle is equipped with one. WINDSHIELD WIPERS * -- may have dried out in summer heat, Live replacement blades are inexpensive and do a better job in wiping away slush and snow without streaking. Check your washer solution for ^adequate anti-freeze protec­ tion. LIGHTS - must be in perfect working order. Check for and replace burned out bulbs and broken or cracked lenses. Winter grime and road salt corrcde sockets and reflectors. Clean all lights frequently during inclement weather. BRAKES - a poorly ad­ justed, faying or grabbing brake c&n force you into a uncontrolled skid on slippery pavements. If your brakes grab or pull to one side, have them checked and adjusted by a competent mechanic. TIRES - good tires are important all year long, but especially so during the poor • conditions winter slings at you. Snow tires provide additional pulling power in loosely packed snow. Studded snow tires, where legal, improve stopping and pulling ability on ice. TIRE CHAINS - reinforced tire chains still remain the ultimate traction aid in deep snow or glare ice conditions. Keep them in your trunk for severe weather conditions. On the topic of emergency kits, Fergusson reminded motorists of the following items: a shovel, a container of sand or rock salt, a tow chain, battery booster cables, and emergency flares and lights. "Remember," he concluded, "while winter adds additional hazards on the roads, proper planning and maintenance today can prevent traffic ac­ cidents and tieupsJwfibrrow!" m Right Turn On Legal Notice Wed Effective The long-awaited right turn on red after stopping law became official Jan. 1, Michael J. Hewlett, Secretary of State, said this week. The new law is the result of legislation approved by the, General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor June 12. Motorists turning right on red after stopping must yield to pedestrians within the adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully ustng the intersection. . "State and local authorities may prohibit any right turn against a red signal at any intersection under their jurisdiction," Howelett ex­ plained. "In these cases, signs must be posted at the in­ tersections giving notice of the turn exceptions."
