Preparation pays Knowing what to expect, and then expecting the worst, is not being overly pessimistic when it comes to winter travel at least that's the contention of Douglas M. Fergusson, director of safety services for Nationwide Insurance In-surance Company. Fergusson' s reasoning is that being forewarned is the first step in being prepared; and with automobile travel to winter sports areas expected to reach an all-time high this winter, the need for proper precautions is more crucial than ever before. "In spite of current economic conditions and the high cost of gasoline, motorists are driving to new and ever-more remote parts of the country seeking winter sports areas," Fergusson pointed out. "Actually, they're looking for the very conditions (snow and ice) that make any auto trip downright treacherous!" Fergusson has firsthand knowledge of winter's deadly tricks. He is vice-chairman of the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards and has participated in many of the Committee's annual winter driving test programs. Based on these experiences, and those of his fellow skid-testers, he offers these suggestions for safer, trouble-free driving: Before you hit the road: . Have your car mechanic-checked mechanic-checked to be sure it is in first-class first-class mechanical condition brakes, lights, electrical system, anti-freeze, heater-defroster, windshield wipers and washers; the works. . Equip your car with the proper tires with good treads. Snow tires are helpful for pulling through snow. Studded snow tires are better (where permitted) per-mitted) for added traction on icy pavements. . For severe snow and ice conditions, be sure your trunk contains a good set of reinforced tire chains and that you are prepared to use them. The "emergency kit" in your trunk should also include a shovel, a container of sand or rock salt, a tow chain, battery booster cables, and emergency flares and lights. When you're on the road: . Keep your windshield, windows and rear-view mirrors clear at all times. Replace worn, streaking wiper blades immediately. im-mediately. Make sure your windshield washers contain an adequate anti-freeze solution. . Clean head and tail lights regularly. A barely visible film on lenses can decrease lighting power by as much as 25 percent. . Increase distances between you and cars ahead. Give yourself ample room for maneuvering or stopping. . Pump brakes to slow or stop. This technique keeps wheels rolling and helps maintain steering control. . When driving on winter-slick winter-slick roads, get the feel of the road. Accelerate carefully or tap your brakes while away from traffic. See if the wheels spin or skid. If either occurs, reduce your speed. . If a skid starts, steer in the direction of the skid steer left if the rear skids left, steer right if the rear skids right. . Buckle your seat belt and shoulder harness. Be sure your passengers buckle up as well. in winter driving Remember: icy or snow-clogged roads plus a trailer whipping behind your car compounds normal winter driving problems. Adjust your driving even more. Fergusson concluded: "Be forewarned. Study routes in advance. Check weather reports. It's sensible to wait out any threatening storm! To you Yours . . . May your day of Thanksgiving for America's blessings bring much happiness and fond memories! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA OFFICES Berg Mortuary in Springville, has been accepted for membership mem-bership in the International Order of the Golden Rule for the sixteenth consecutive year. The Sometimes We Forget.... I think we sometimes forget why we can be proud of our country. I want to tell you, very briefly, just seven reasons why I love my country, and why, when I fly my flag, that action represents a genuine and grateful salute to America. 1. I salute America because she has opened her heart and her doors to the distressed and persecuted of the world. 2. I salute' America because she has been the most generous and compassionate nation in history. 3. I salute America because she has never hidden her problems and her faults. We do not sweep our sins under the rug, we keep them out in the open where they can be studied and solved. 4. I salute-'America because she is honestly recognizing and courageously trying to solve her social problems. 5. I salute America because she has never sought to use her tremendous power to take over other nations. 6. I salute America because she recognizes that she is a nation under God. Time after time in our history we have been at the breaking point because of internal troubles or external threats, and every time some stablizing force, some moral strength, some protecting power, has pulled us through. I believe America needs to sing again. I believe we need to show our national pride. I believe we need to live up to our sacred heritage. and 1776 - 1976 WE'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES! IN SPRINGVILLE, SPANISH FORK, MAPLETON, PROVO announcement was made by Roger Ytterberg, Executive Director of the Order, from the home office in Springfield, 111. The Order is the world's largest limited-membership organization for funeral directors. Before being admitted, ad-mitted, a firm must be recommended by families it has served and by other professional people in the area. To remain affiliated, a firm must re-qualify annually. "Over the years", Ytterberg said, "the Order has become a more and more professional group. There are now nearly 1300 members throughout the world, and the knowledge and experience they share made them uniquely able to serve their respective communities." Ytterberg pointed out that regional meetings and an international in-ternational conference are held each year to offer members sources of new information relative to the profession. "Our entire concept of what is 'relative to the profession' has changed in recent years," Ytterberg Yt-terberg said. "With the growth of thanatology, grief therapy, and other fields of study in the universities, we are able to obtain speakers with new and valuable things to say. The emphasis is now placed upon making funeral service truly helpful and meaningful to the survivors, to those who are left behind and must go on." Continuous research is conducted con-ducted at the Order's home office, and information is made available to members through newstapes and newsletters. "Our continuing goal," Ytterberg Yt-terberg said, "is to work with our members for the im-, provement of the profession and the benefit of the families they serve."
