I And a cup of milk. There'B Ham Under some conditions, special winter tires may also be helpful. Reinforced tire chains cut braking distances in half on both snow and ice, the report states. Starting traction is increased seven times on ice and nearly four times on packed snow, as compared with regular tires. Reinforced tire chains, which Jiave projecting teeth or cleats on each cross chain, "are vet y effective on glare ice in reducing braking distances, opposite side skids and increasing forward traction" as compared with regular round wire link chains which provide good stop-and-go traction on snow but comparatively poor resistance to side skids, the report states. Some special winter tires, according to the report,. "serve a real purpose under certain weather and road conditions, particularly when snow or slush is soft and not too deep. However, the overall improvement of even Uie best tires tested is not great enough to warrant less care or precaution when driving on slippery surfaces. Considering the hazards involved, drivers should also realize that a majority of the winter tires tested were pobrer or little better than regular tires." The six basic rules for safe winter driving recommended by the committee are: 1. Accept your responsibility to do all in your power to drive without accident. Don't blame the weatherman for an accident. Be prepared and meet the situation. 2. Get the "feel" of the road. Try brakes occasionally while driving slowly and away from traffic. Find out just how slippery the road is and adjust your speed to road and weather conditions. Remember you can't stop on an icy dime. 3. Keep the windshield clear of snow and ice, fog and frost. Be sure headlights, windshield wiper blades and defrosters are in top condition. You have to see danger to avoid it. 4. Use tire chains and good tires. Don't rely on worn-smooth tires. Use tire chains on snow and ice. They cut stopping distances about half, give four to seven times more starting and climbing traction. But even with the help of chains, slower than V Mushroom Chowder.

Crisp relishes (cranberry sauce and celery) are good with chowder. And hot buttered corn bread, fresh from the oven, helps to fill the cracks.
