M, B. Dymond; Mi- nister of Transport for Ontario, said recently in commenting on the first snowfall of the season. When streets and highways are co- vered with ice and- snow, there is no sounder advice than 'take it easy', he said. Speed too fast for conditions is the leading cause of accidents at any time of the year, but winter road conditions make excessive speeds par- ticularly hazardous. It takes three times as far to 2p with regular tires on loosely packed snow than on dry pavement, and ten times as far on glare ice, he pointed out. Another dangerous threat to traffic safety is reduced visibility caused by snow, rain or fog, longer hours of darkness, defective car lighting Sy8- tems, and the dark clothing worn by many pedestrians, In winter, no driver can afford to relax his vigilance for one moment, day or night. Dr. Dymond urged all Ontario dri- vers to observe the following rules for safe winter driving: 1. Think for yourself, and at the same time be on the defensive for possible errors on the part of other drivers. . 2. On snow and ice, go slow. Even with the limited aid of snow tires, or the considerably greater help of rein- forced tire chains, speed must be re- duced on slippery road surfaces. £ - 3. Lengthen distance between ve- hicles, When you follow close to the bumper of the car ahead, you are in- viting a rear-end collision in case the leading driver stops suddenly. 4. Give your signal to turn well in advance, realizing that the follow- ing drivers back of you need longer distances in which to stop on winter road surfaces, 65. When you have to stop, use a light pumping action. Jamming brakes on may lock them and throw your vehicle out of eontrol. 6. Maintain windshield wiper arms with adequate tension and have. good blades for clear, streak-free visibility. You must see where you're going, 7. When starting out, get the "feel" of the road by trying your brakes while driving slowly, away from traffic. As you continue, adjust your speed to changing road, weather and traffic conditions. 8. Keep your vehicle in efficient operating condition, paying special attention to vital winter equipment-- lights, brakes, tire chains, defroster, windshield wipers, heater and battery. Freight Assistance During the past few years because of the feed freight assistance subsidy paid by the Federal Government the cost of livestock and poultry feeds to farmers in the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, Ontario and British Colimbia has been approximately the same. With the 17 per cent increase in $rreight rates granted to the Railways eR RRR, to bacome ry on December 1st these costs would not only be ingreased but there would be a greater variation in price betwgen the different areas. In order to maintain the existing re- lationship between feed freight assist- ance and freight costs in these areas the government today passed an order- infcouncil authorizing some increase if the feed freight assistance rates as of December 1st. Because of the movement of grain to 4 large part of Ontario and Western Quebec is mainly by water, the assist- ance payments on grain shipments to the Montreal Freight Rate Zone, in- cluding all of Old Ontario, will con- tinue at the present level of $5.00 per ton. To points beyond the Montreal Freight Rate Zone but with a through rail freight from Fort William of less than $1.04 "per hundred-weight, the freight assistance will be $5.00 per ton plus the excess throught freight to destination over the Fort William- Montreal rate. To eastern points with a freight rate from Fort William of $1.04 per hun- dredweight or higher, the freight assistance will be $7.50 per ton plus the excess through freight to desina- tion over the Fort William-Montreal rate. The area covered in this cate- gory includes Eastern Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces, The rate of assistance to British Columbip points will be the carlot short line rail freight charge to desti- nation from Calgary, Edmonton, or the point of orgin, whichever is the lowest, less $5.40 per ton, Peas - = BEST BUY -- Pure Fry's Cocoa REST BUY -- "It's New" "BEST BUY -- Aylmer Fancy 15 oz. tin BEST BUY -- Shirriff's Good Morning Marmalade = = - = 1 BEST BUY -- "The Round Shredded Wheat" Quaicer Muffets - - =m 24 oz. jar 2 pkas. 33¢ 3 for 49¢ | 47 c 69c¢ 1b. tin Oe0 EE Hilltop Herald The gnain topic this week is Com- mencement.
