"Keep your cool" during the winter months was the recommendation rec-ommendation issued today by Darice H. White, Vice President, Utah Safety Council White said that safe driving during the wintertime is largely a matter of 'keeping cool" despite the added hazards brought about by adverse weather in the form of inadequate traction and reduced re-duced visibility. "Safe driving during the winter months demands all the skills and precautions required at any time of the yearplus the added responsibility res-ponsibility of coping with slippery slip-pery pavements and poor visibility," visi-bility," the safety official explained. ex-plained. . As an example of the serious problem involved, he pointed out that tests by the National Safety Council have shown that the braking brak-ing distance on snow and ice may be from three to as much as ten times the normal, dry pavement stopping distance. "This means that it can take as much as 150 to 200 feet to stop on glare ice from a speed of only 20 miles per hour, as compared com-pared with a normal braking distance dis-tance of only 17 feet," he reported. re-ported. "When combined with poor visibility, this can lead to an extremely hazardous driving situation." sit-uation." The Council Executive urged motorists to compensate for these added hazards by heeding the six tips developed by the National Safety Council's Committee Com-mittee onWinterDriving Hazards as an outgrowth of its annual test project. He listed these as follows: 1. Get the "feel" of the road by accelerating carefully to see if the wheels spin; or brake gently to see if they skid. 2. Increase your following distance whenever pavements are slippery or visibility is poor so that you can slow down or stop if traffic ahead suddenly comes to an unexpected stop. 3. Pump your brakes to slow down or stop don't jam them on. 4. Use good tires with good treads. Better yet, use snow tires which provide half again as much pulling ability in snow as regular tires. 5. Carry reinforced tire chains in the trunk of your car for use during severe snow and ice conditions. con-ditions.

That's the theme of a new idea for the productive use of home trashdesigned to reduce the nation's na-tion's solid waste problem and save a little energy at the same time. David E. Lofgren, environmental environ-mental impace officer at the University Uni-versity of Utah, has perfected a way to use newspapers and magazines maga-zines to make a window-insulating material suitable for Christmas Christ-mas decorating, which can be easily removed. By sealing the gaps in a window win-dow frame and then insulating part of the surface area of the window, you can drastically cut down on heat loss from the window," Mr. Lofgren said. Here's how he does it: Add a cup of liquid detergent deter-gent to a gallon of hot water and put in newspaper and magazine maga-zine pages torn to about 5"x8" size. Add paper until the bucket is about two-thirds full. Magazines Maga-zines can make up between 10 to 50 percent of the total paper. Stir every 30 minutes, until un-til the slurry is cool enough to handle. Then shred the paper (a great job for the kids) until it is in pieces no larger than the size of a quarter. Let it sit overnight. Discoloration from the ink can be washed out by adding warm water and squeezing the pulp into "snowballs." To apply, wet the pulp again in warm water, and squeeze out the excess as you remove it from the bucket. The pulp will adhere to wood, glass or metal. After it's dry, it can be removed re-moved by chipping it away with your fingers, and any residue will wash away with water. You can paint it, too. Mr. Lofgren tested the material for flamability and it is about the same as wood it won't start with a match but it will burn with logs in a fireplace. In addition to using it in windows, I have found I can insulate in-sulate the gaps where the floor supports meet the outside walls underneath my house," Mr. Lofgren Lof-gren said. Mr. Lofgren emphasized that his idea should not be considered as a substitute for approved, permanent insulation.' The beauty of making insulation insula-tion is that it gives us a use for magazine paper," he said. 6. Keep your windshield and windows clear at all times. HOUSE OF THAT ijj O il ; av JON MITCHELL, FULLBACK Utah, was named to the ICAC team. Tanks Play Dig ran In Army In the early day of the Army's history, the enemy paled at the sound of thundering hoffbeats. They knew it was the U.S. Army Cavalry on the move. Today, the Army relies on a wide range of equipment to supply the speed, Valley Hospital, mobility and striking power once provided by the horse. It was during the battlefield n a stalemate of World War I that the idea of fielding armor protected, tracked vehicles which could not be stopped by the deadly machinegun, was first developed. Soon, the first tanks were breaking break-ing through the lines oftheWest-ern oftheWest-ern Front. The future of the new machines was assured. In 1940, the U.S. Army Armored force was established at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The new machines came into their own during World War II. The German Blitzkriegs demonstrated demon-strated the power of armor in an offensive role. Once the tide of the war turned, the Allied Army swept through Europe. Individuals such as General George S. Patton gave a new meaning to the spirit of Armor. ' Campaigning in Korea and Vietnam demonstrated that Armor can function under the most adverse terrain and weather conditions. Today, the Army's Armored Branch relies on a wide range of equipment to supply the speed, mobility and striking power once provided by the horse. The Army's Armored force is comprised of Armor, Air Cavalry and Armored Cavalry. Air Cavalry is designed to assist the reconnaissance and security capabilities of ground Armor units. In addition to its strongly armed attack helicopters such as the Cobra, Air Cavalry also uses swift and versatile observation helicopters. The Armored Cavalry performs per-forms many of the old horse Cavalry's traditional tasks including in-cluding ground reconnaissance and a quick reaction force in active combat. The tank units of an Armor organization form a main striking strik-ing force that is devastating in combat. Capable of operating in a wide variety of terrain and weather conditions, American tanks are among the most advanced in the world with highly effective sighting systems, mechanical ability and such unique weapons as the Shillelagh guided missile. Those who enlist into the Army for Armor training are sent to Fort Knox where theyattend basic and advanced training,. Members of the Armor branch receive all the benefits available only to members of the military community. Starting pay is $32G.10 a month with a raise to $303.30 in just four months. Thirty days paid vacation is provided pro-vided every year. All medical and dental care is free. And, the Army also offers a wide variety of educational opportunities opportun-ities for high school, college and graduate courses. For more information about the Army's Armor enlistment option and the $2,500, contact your Army Representative.

Interstate Landscaping In Cedar City Bids were opened today by the State Road Commission for the largest highway landscape screening project every undertaken under-taken in Utah. Miya Brothers of Ogden, Utah was the apparent low bidder at $314,738. This cooperative project will include planting nearly 1,700 Austrian Pines and a variety of native plants along 1-15 from North Cedar City to the South Cedar City limits. There will be 3,900 feet of pipe used to carry water, which Cedar City will provide, to more than4,100 water bubblers. Virtually every plant will be watered individually which will aid in conserving water. A unique feature of this job will be the use of tubelings to aid the plants during their early establishing period, Tubelings are a biodegradable plastic mesh wrapped around the plant roots with soil to facilitate planting and encourage the roots to develop downward. This is the first time tubelings have been used in a large scale project such as this. you check |
