Winter hazard* for
driver* of autos
outlined by Musick
“Poor visibility is one of the
most serious problems facing the
motorist in winter driving!”
That was the warning issued
recently by E. C. McFadden of
Dallas, Vice President of Employ-
ers' Casualty Company, and Pres-
ident of the Texas Safety Assoc-
iation, in connection wilh the
state-wide campaign for safe win-
ter driving sponsored by the Tex-
as Safety Association.
“In addition to the hazards of
skidding that winter presents to
the motorist, the problem of re-
duced visibility can make driving
especially treacherous,” McFad-
den said.
"Motorists must be able to see
danger to avoid it,” he emphas-
ized.
"A basic requirement is that
windshield wipers be in top-notch
condition. Summer sun or age
bake the life out of rubber blades
and cause them to streak the
windshield,” McFadden said.
“When they do, they should be
replaced.”
"Another important precaution
is to see that heaters and de-
frosters are working properly.”
Fewer hours of daylight, rain,
snow, sleet, splattered wind-
shields, the glare of the sun on
snow or ice, fog and frequent
overcast all serve to reduce the
distance a driver can see to a
dangerous minimum, it was point-
ed out.
“And after a storm be sure to
clean all the snow off your wind-
shield and other windows of your
car. It is also a good idea to wipe
off the headlights, turn signals
and tail lights at the same time.
"Keep the inside of your win-
dows clean and free of smoke or
steam and be sure you can see
through the side windows. Danger
may approach from the sides or
rear as well as from the front.
Statistics show that in almost
one out of seven fatal accidents,
the driver’s vision was obscured.
In two out of five of these cases,
the obstruction was on the ve-
hicle itself, such as rain, snow or
sleet on the windshield.
"Keep these figures in mind,”
McFadden warned drivers, "and
keep alert to these dangers. You
wouldn’t drive with your eyes
closed. Don’t drive with your vis-
ion obstructed!”
Old buggy bobby
and stamp collector
on Humble TV show
X-Ray pictures of the human
heart, made possible by the devel-
opment of an amazing new cam-
era, will be shown on The Hum-
bie Company’s Texas in Review
next week. This camera, located
at Parkland Memorial Hospital in
Dallas, is the only one of its kind
in the United States that enables
doctors to film the beating heart
from both front and side.
Conservation practices ard the
planting of a newly developed
grass in the Salt Fork area of
West Texas will be seen, as new
steps are taken to combat drought
conditions in that section of the
state.
While some folks collect
stamps, coins and many other odd
items, a Houston lumber dealer
makes an unusual hobby of col-
lecting old buggies. Some of these
vehicles are 65 to 70 years old
and each tells a story of a by-
gone day.
