This twisted mass of steel girders among mountainous blocks of Ice Is all that remains of the 4®-year-old
I alls View International bridge which collapsed Into the Ice-filled gorge below Niagara falla after resisting
an ice Jam for 24 hours. This view of the famed “honeymoon bridge’’ was made from the American side. The
noise of the crash of the 4,500,000-pound structure blotted out for a moment the roar of Niagara falls, 500
yards upstream. Thousands of spectators watched as the girders bnchjjjed. Workmen who had been sent Into
the gorge to strengthen the bridge’s supports narrowly escaped death when the crash came.

YOUR MILEAGE MERCHANT ADVISES...
i
Try to have the two cars slightly “staggered”—
not exactly in line with each other. This often
helps if bumpers lock, especially when the car
with its bumper below can reach a drain or simi-
lar depression. Another way is for the car with
its bumper on top to get up on a curb or “hump.”
All of that is “just in case.”
Now ask the poor fellow who wants your help
to get into HIGH. Tell him to keep his clutch
pedal down, letting it come back gradually
only after you get his car under way.
Do your pushing with your LOW gear. That’s
easiest on your car.. .for half a block. Then if the
other fellow’s car hasn’t started, have him get
into neutral and push him up to a nearby Mileage
Merchant for Special Winter Blend Conoco Bronze
like yours. That can’t help but get him started...
(the Mileage Merchant will know what to do IF
the battery has entirelyjjiven up the ghost). And
then the lightest way to dodge further battery
trouble, dangerous oil dilution—and embarrass-
ment—is to make a point of getting sure-starting
