Thursday, February 9, 1956 ..r t mips on lraffic Safety CHARLES F. CARPENTIER Sccrctary of State T •r» (tVo Winter driving, of course, prets the motorist with hazards and 'oblems peculiar to that season. „ low and ice can make driving treacherous. There are certain rules which, if followed, can aid the motorist in avoiding an accident while driving in the winter. First of all, be alert and prepared to meet any situation. Be sure that your windshield is clear of snow, ice, fog and frost. Windshield wiper blades, defrosters and headlights should be checked to ascertain that they are in good condition. 31 Make sure that your tires are Also in good condition. Relying on %orn, smooth tires is takingli an innecessary chance with your life and the lives of others. Tire chains should be used on snow and ice. "Chains reduce stopping distance by almost one-half aad also greatly tacrease starting and climbing trao •ion ability. Determine just how slippery the road is and then adjust your speed to road and weather conditions. To get the "feel" of the road try your brakes occasionally while' driving slowly and away from traffic. When slowing down or coming to a stop, pump your brakes. Give yourself plenty of distance to stop by staying well behind the vehicle in front of you. A copy of the completely new ^jfRules of the Road" booklet will sent to you free upon request.

Navy Cruise President of the village, Jake L&vesque, returned home after serving a two-week tour of duty with his squadron from Glenview at NAS, Miramar, Calif. This is the largest jet air base in the country. Due to the inclement weather, which held up the arrival of training planes, the pilots enjoyed a week of straight liberty. During this time, Jake managed a trip to Los Angeles to visit with family friends. He and a group of the men rented a car and took a trip south of the border to Ensenada and Tiajuana, Mexico; where they met some very interesting people. The second week was spent in an intensive program which included jet airplane transitional training, high altitude techniques, oxygen, seat ejection and survival under combat conditions. An important part of their training was the ground school classes which were held, with some of the sessions lasting until 10 at night. These "weekend warriors" form an important part in our country's defense. Needless to say, Chryssie, J. R. and Dierdre, not to mention your reporter, were very happy to have daddy home again.

"It's the wisest nyotor car investment I ever made!" "I've owned a great many makes, but Cadillac wins my vote as the finest investment oj them all." "In my book, it is the best dollar investment on the highway today/" We can't tell you how many times we've heard it. In fact, Cadillac's value and economy have become favorite topics of conversation among Cadillac owners everywhere. And their sentiments are based on some very substantial facts about the "car of cars." First of all, there's the economy of buyinif a Cadillac. The average Cadillac car is surprisingly modest in its original cost . . . and many models are actually priced competitively with the socalled "medium-priced" makes. Then thefe is the economy of operating a Cadillac. Cadillac's gasoline mileage is simply phenomenal for a car of its si?e and stature . . . and its dependability is truly extraordinary. And, finally, there is the economy that comes, from Cadillac's great value. In resale markets all across the land, the Cadillac car traditionally returns a higher percentage of its original cost than any other automobile built and sold in America. And consider what generous dividends Cadillac owners receive from their investments. . . . the great pride they derive from Cadillac's beauty and luxury . . . the daily pleasure that comes with Cadillac's performance and comfort . . . and the personal satisfaction they take in Cadillac's wonderful reputation. We suggest that you pay us a visit soon and investigate the latest and finest Cadillac investment of them all. We have the car . . . and the keys . . . and the facts--and we'll be happy to give you all three at any time. Whv not ma^e i* today? OVERTON CADILLAC PONTIAC Co. 400 FRONT STREET McHENRY, ILL.
