OIL PRODUCTION Production * of an estimated 81,230,000 barrels of oil, worth approximately $240,000,000; y the drilling of 3,885 wells; the discovery of 35 new pools -- these are the salient points of a report on the Illinois oil industry for 1955 issued last week by the state geological survey. Drilling during 1955 was more successful than usual. Approximately 54 per cent of all wells drilled produced oil or gas. The 1955 oil production is the highest since 1943. A down-trend in production which started in 1941 was revei-sed in 1954, when output increased about 7,000,000 barrels over the preceding year; 1955 confirmed the upward trend with a further increase of about 14,000,000 barrels over 1954. "Warm" Ice More Slippery, According To Safety Council Did you know that there is ^jvarm ice as well as cold ice? "" Well, there is, and knowing it may save your life, the National Safety Council points out. Warm ice is a lot more slippery than cold icg, and "^greatly increases the hazards of winter driving unless your are using reinforced tire chains, the Council has found in actual skid tests on frozen lakes. An ice cube when first taken from the freezer tray feels slightly "sticky," but the warmth of your hand quickly melts the surface and it becomes slippery. The Council says the same thing ocr curs on road ice or glazed snow when it is warmed by a daytime rise in temperature, a brief period of sunshine, or heavy traffic. Such unexpected changes in the slipperineSs of ice is the basic cause of many winter accidents, the Council believes. Council tests show this relationship of temperature and traction: at 20 m.p.h. a car with regular tires skidded 114 feet at zero degrees, 155 feet at 10 degrees, 195 feet at 20 degrees, and a whopping 235 feet at 30 degrees (just below freezing). Reinforced tire chains stopped the test cars in 77 feet on glare ice, and this distance was not affected by changes in temperature. temperature is important whether you live in the northern or southern edge of the snow belt, according to the Council. While drivers in the north have to con* tend with more snow, they also get lower temperatures and con* sequently better traction. Drivers on the southern edge of the snow belt • meet more changeable con*"" dition with intermittent freezing and thawing. Wherever you live, the Council urges drivers to stay . aware of the changing characteristics of ice. Check the "feel" of the road at every safe opportunity and ad* just your speed accordingly.
