Remembering last winters fall down the front steps, the average person probably will tell you that ice is ice, and that its al- ways slippery. Hell be right, but theres more to it than that. Ice is much more slippery when its wet than when Its dry, at least so f?r as automobile tires are concerned. This was the most striking fact brought out by Ralph A. Moyer, associate professor of highway engineering at Iowa State college and chairman of the National Safety councils special committee on winter driving hazards. The committees annual report was presented before 10,000 persons at the National Safety Congress last fall. All phases of accident prevention were studied at the Congress. The committee's report is based on the most exhaustive skidding tests ever conducted. For two weeks last February, automobiles were sent spinning over the frozen surface of Lake Cadillac, Michigan, in an effort to gather information which would protect motorists from the hazards of winter driving. Cars were driven over the lakes smooth ice under many different conditions to determine the weathers effect on driving safety. Thawing Ice Slipperier. It was found that ice is somewhat temperatures. sticky at near-zerBut above 20 degrees and when the sun comes out bewarel Brakes are only half as effective on thawing ice, acceleration is reduced 70 per cent and the maximum speed on curves is SO per cent lower. Winter presents a tough problem for traffic safety experts. Traffic death rates go up in all sections of the country as the mercury goes down. Traffic death rates in winter are about 40 per cent higher than summer rates in the northern half of the country, and about 20 per cent in the southern half. The chief reason, of course, is skidding on snow or ice covered roads. Skidding is involved in only 1 per cent of the accidents on dry Toads, but on wet roads the figure is as high as 27 per cent and on snowy or icy roads, up to 50 per cent.

Dont take it for granted that because part of the pavement is clear, all of it is free of ice. Anticipate ice around curves and over hills, in shady spots and on bridges. Remember that ice is more slippery when it is thawing. Watch out for the sudden freeze in late afternoon which may convert a wet pavement into an icy one. Keep a steady foot on the accelerator. Too fast acceleration may spin the wheels, causing a side skid. Slow down gradually. Once a skid starts turn the front wheels in the direction the car is skidding, leave the car in gear, and dont apply the brakes. can do Highway departments much to reduce winter traffic hazards, the committee reported. Highway officials should strive to keep roads clear by prompt and complete snow removal: establish uniform and effective systems of road condition reporting, and adequately warn the motorist of the presence of snow plows and other equipment, or culvert headwalls, guard rails and other low obstructions covered by drifted snow. They should improve traction on ice by spreading abrasives treated wih calcium or sodium chloride. self-hel- MARINELAND, FLA. A spectac- aviation executive and philanthro- tanks housing nearly these 50,000 deep sea denizens three crystallized officially recently into the ambitious municipality of Marineland, Fla. With a population in which humans are outnumbered, 2,000 to 1, by fish, the settlement was incorporated as a town in the fall of this year. As such Marineland began its existence with many advantages over other American Tillages and with several distinctions unmatched by any city in the world. Here are some: 1. It is the smallest incorporated municipality in Florida, having only voters (it 28 qualified registered takes 25 registered voters to incorporate a municipality). 2. It is believed to be the smallest incorporated municipality in the entire United States. 3. The whole town is built within 300 acres around Marine studios, containing two huge tanks constructed at a cost of nearly a mWion dollars raised chiefly through the efforts of C. V. Whitney, New York The tanks, called oceanariums, are the largest in the world and were built especially for motion picture study of the deep sea and its inhabitants. 5. The town was the scene recently for the first time in scientific history of the milking of a porpoise. The product was flown by plane Immediately to the University of Chicago for analysis. 8. Marinelands porpoises are the only ones in captivity. 7. Marineland is the only place in the world where large marine specimens are fed by hand daily. 8. The largest great manta ray ever exhibited alive in captivity lives hi one of the tanks. It has a wing spread of 1316 feet and weighs over 1,500 pounds. The humans of this unique place, aside from its founding fathers, Whitney and Dr. W. Douglas Burden, of the American Museum of Natural History, are themselves much more than an ordinary group of people because they range from scientists to the divers who care for the fish. Presiding over the municipality is a young man, Milton E. Bacon Jr., mayor of Marineland. He is 30 years old, a publicist and not a politician by profession. Many of the men of his town are within draft age limits, Bacon says, raising the possibility that his council and aldermen may have to vote on political issues while wearing mufti.

Although they win never be called upon to fight, blind men and women of the country are taking an active part in the nation's preparations for defense. Hard at work in 43 workshops across the land, they are preparing certain supplies necessary for the governments defense plans, according to Robert W. Irwin, sightless executive director of the American Foundation for the Blind. Under provisions of the Wagner-ODa- y act, federal government departments purchase blind - made products whenever possible and for the past two years blind workers have been supplying these departments with brooms, mops, deck swabs, mattresses and the like at a fair market price, according to Irwin. In recent weeks the governments order for pillowcases to serve the men in training has kept blind men and women working overtime, and has brought into the group more than 400 additional sightless men and women who, up to now, have lacked the chance of employment. The American Foundation for the Blind acts for the sightless across the country as a national agency. Connected with it is a marketing agency called National Industries for the Blind. This agene cy receives orders for goods, and allocates these orders to those institutions and sheltered shops best equipped to handle them.
