He coordinates the committee's year 'round activities, including the council's annual winter driving test project at Stevens Point, Wis. ~ "You can't stop winter," Prince contends, "but there are new techniques that will help you keep winter from stopping you." Prince referred to changes over the years in recom­ mended techniques in pumping brakes on slippery road surfaces. Previously, hard fast jabs at the brake pedal were the way to slow or stop on roads.

At the time I„.was told it would be delivered within two weeks. After a reasonable length of time, I called to find out why nothing was delivered. They tpjd.^e they had no record of niy order, or my deposit. I took the receipt to the store, and they checked again. Fin­ ally they delivered a stereo, but it wasn't the one I ordered. I called and asked them, to pick it up, but they refused. ; Angry Consumer Dear Angry: Check with your Better Bus­ iness Bureau and the local Chamber of Commerce. Read your receipt and be sure the firm is responsible for picking ud the merchandise. share of today's if ever, have disk i the front and drum brakes on the rear. The "fast and hard as you can" pumping does not allow the front disk brakes to release ipletely. With the front locked and Ing is never ^e basic ob- jecspg ot^pumplng the brakes in the first place. "Instead," Prince em­ phasized, "skid testers recommend a slower, in-«% termittent braking action ~ fully oh and then fully off long enough do let disk brakes release so that all wheels are rolling again." The technique should be practiced, according to Prince, until it comes naturally and you can feel when the wheels are locked or rolling. Apply the brakes until you feel that a skid is about to start, then release, steer and pump again. Another problem arises with late model vehicles which have high idlin speeds, particularly wl the engine is cold - such as leaving a private driveway to enter a street. "What happens," Prince explains, "is that the degree of braking required to slow to make the turn may lock the front wheels while .the fast idle speed of the motor is still turning the rear wheels. "As a result, your car is moving forward but you've lost steering control and continue moving straight ahead even though your steering wheel is turned. "In investigating ^heir peculiar phenomenon with an automatic drive vehicle at the council's Wisconsin test site, we found that the best technique is to shift into neutral when quaking this of maneuver. many _jurisdictions, it is illegal to drive in neutral gear. This prohibition probably stems froiri^ the days before automatic transmissions and high idling speeds." In addition to these new findings, Prince urged motorists tos heed the committee's not-so-new recommendations for safer winter driving: 1.^Get the "feel" of the road by accelerating carefully to see if wheels spin; or brake gently to see if they skid. Reduce/ speed accordingly. I 2. Have good tires with good treads. Better yet, use snow - tires which provide half again as much pulling power in snow as regular tires. Studded snow tires (whepe,permitted) offer still e help on icy surfaces. your snow They provide four to seven times as much traction on snow or ice as regular tires. 4., Keep your windshield .and windows clear at all times. Replace streaking wiper blades gone dead from exposure to sun, wind and oily road film. Be sure that your windshield washer solution contains adequate anti-freeze, By popular demand the American' Repertory Theatre Systems is back with a hilarious new comedy, "Four On a Garden".
