Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1958 Pgo Five Winter Conditions Demand More Careful Driving Have car, will travel regard-less of the weather! That probably comes close to describing the philosophy of many of the millions of Ameri-cans who drive cars. In summer, their driving job is fairly easy roads are free of such hazards as snow and ice, windshields usually are clear, and it's light during all of the morning and evening rush hours when workers are on their way to or from office or factory. In winter, though, things are a whole lot different behind the wheel, according to the Utah Safety Councli. And many mo-torists, lulled into confidence by a summer free of ice and snow, may find themselves unprepared these next few weeks for the added dangers of winter driving. Not you we're talking about, you say? ; Well, maybe not. Maybe you are up on the finer points of winter driving. If so, you prob-ably know the answers to such questions as: 1. If my car starts to skid on glare ice, what should I do? (Keep your foot off the brake and steer in the direction of the skid.) 2. Is there any way to stop quickly on icy pavement? (No but a fast pumping of brakes will stop you the quickest and let you keep control.) 3. How fast should I drive in winter? (That depends remem-ber it takes you 12 times as far to stop.) If you weren't sure of all the answers, you're perfectly nor-mal, says the Council. Many - drivers are a little con-fused about what to do on winter roads. The time to learn the an-swers is not when you're in a jam it's right now, before win- - more severe conditions. Even with the help of snow tires or tire chains slower than normal speers are a must on snow and ice. 3. Keep windshield and win-dows clear. Make sure the wiper blades, heater and defroster are working properly. While you car is warming up in the morn-ing, take a couple of minutes to clear all windows, including the rear window, of snow and ice. ter descends in all its fury. The Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards, which made on the spot studies of how to go on ice and snow, gives these six tips to motorists: 1. Winterize your driving tech-niques and your determination to avoid accidents, as well as your car. 2. Make sure your car has good tires, preferably snow tires, and use reinforced tire chains for the feature makes the color phone especially suited to the bedroom. By merely twisting a button, a soft light is turned on. When the receiver is lifted, a strong light goes on to permit easy dialing in the dark. Bedroom Most Popular For Phone Extension If your family has been con-sidering installing an extension phone, there's some new infor-mation on hand from the Moun-tain States Telephone Company that might help you decide on a location for the instrument. A survey of thousands of homes shows that the bedroom is by far the most popular choice when a new extension is added. The actual statistics shows that 71 per cent of multiple telephone homes have phones in bedrooms. Other popular locations, ac-cording to the study, are kitchen, den, basement and workshop. The research spotlights some very good reasons behind bed-room extension popularity. As might be expected, the feeling of security and peace of mind that a bedroom phone provides is a compelling motive. Other fac-tors include step-savin- g, privacy, and a big assist it offers in the case of illness.

Help Fight TB Buy Christmas Seals Bus Travel Makes Gains in America Bus travel in American has made tremendous progress in the past 10 years. But the next decade may well mark the begin-ning of an era of "turnpike cruisers" that will whisk passen-gers in comfort and safety over a national network of super-highways. Refinements on present inter-city buses will add a new dimen-sion to modern bus travel. The bus industry is already making good use of new turnpikes, ex-press tunnels and freeways and will adapt long distance service to all of the proposed 41,000 mile federal interstate super-highway system. The bus of the future will offer advanced styling and more eye appeal, more comfortable accommodations, added conveni-ences, and a quiet, smooth ride. Some proposed bus innovations may seem fantastic, but a com-parison of buses of 30 years ago with today's modern equipment indicates how far and fast the American industry can move! Designs now on the drawing board include such things as television viewing for passen-gers, special tinted glass roofs and observatoin domes, club like lounges and special "executive suites." The bus driver .of the future may have a separate op-erator's compartment, complete with radio contact and a TV screen to give him a full view of the road behind. Radar and fog piercing headlights will see the road ahead, and electronic controls will indicate any motor troubles. Passengers may benefit from such suggested features as indi-vidual sun lamps, new sound-proofed interiors, facilities for "talking book" records, scented air conditioning and special hy-draulic elevators for elderly per-sons or invalids. Varsity-Fros- h Game To Display U Talent There will be a lot more than just the fabulous Bill "The Hill" McGill on display when the Uni-versity of Utah Varsity clash with the frosh Monday, Dec. 1, in Utah's Einar Nielsen Field-hous- e. For the Ute Varsity this will be "S" Day. "The "S"' is to stand for starting and the en-tire Ute Varsity will be going all out in an effort to get the starting nod in the following week end openers against tough Oregon State, also to be played in the Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse. It's been a good many years since the competition for the first five at Uteville has been as keen as in the case this season. Coach Jack Gardner has made it clear that he will put a lot of emphasis on the Varsity-Fros- h tilt and that it will have to be an all out effort on the part of the older boys if they expect to play against Oregon State. Gardner has 14 men on the Varsity squad and there isn't one of them who right now hasn't got a chance of starting against "Slat" Gill's defending Pacific Coast Conference Champions. There are several combinations which have looked good in early Redskin practices. One strong five has been Rich-ard Ruffell and Gary Chestang as forwards, Carney Crisler, cen-ter, and DeLyle Condie and Dick Shores at guards. Another has found Pearl Pollard at center, Dave Van Wagenen and Ches-tang at forwards and Condie and sophomore Joe Morton at guards. Any combination used however, seems to have Condie going. Gardner will have the tallest Utah team in history. They av-erage over 6-- 3 per man. His big proplem will be in the speed de-partment where he'll have to replace little All American Gary Hale of last year. Shores and Moreton will both be given a chance to fill the bill here. A large number of good seats are still availavle for the Frosh-Varsit- y tussle. They are on sale at the Fieldhouse ticket office and the Mint Cafe.
