States making the special accident analysis were Connecticut, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. This fact, combined with the knowledge that traffic death rates in the northern half of the United States increase from 24 to 53 per cent in winter as compared with summer, prove the need for greater driver caution in winter months, the council said. Mishaps Increase. Inadequate traction and poor visibility are the special hazards which send winter accident rates soaring, according to Prof. Ralph A. Moyer of Iowa State college, chairman of the councils committee on winter driving hazards. Moyer recommends that vehicles which must be operated under severe snow and ice conditions be equipped with tire chains and devices to aid visibility, such as windshield wipers, defrosters or frost shields and good lighting equipment.

Braking Distances on Various Surfaces at 20 mph Unique Club In 'Big House' Helps Needy Ranking as one the nations most unique welfare organizations is the Atlanta Welfare club, operated by prisoners at the federal penitentiary here. The club collects nearly $150 a month from inmates of the prison, distributing it to needy cases on the outside. Nearly 1,000 individuals have been helped since the club was formed. The amount of aid varies, one case requiring as little as $2.50; another, $50 outright and additional help over several months. An inmates desire to help a destitute mother whose son had been killed overseas led to formation of the unique club. The mother was devoid of money until the insurance policy was settled. When the prisoner asked Warden Joseph W. Sanford for permission to send $10 to the mother, the story soon spread through the big institution and the prisoners determined to form the club as a means of aiding other worthy cases. Eugene Goodwyn, chief parole officer, was selected by the prisoners to handle the accounting and other business matters. Miss Martha Dennison, home service supervisor of the Atlanta Red Cross chapter, was delegated to find the needy cases. From the small pay they receive in prison industries, the inmates hve collected more than $5,000 in a little more than three years. ATLANTA, GA. of CONCRETE PAVEMENT 1.
