WINTER DRIVING
Winter driving means coping with rain,
>g and snow. Here are some hints to help
ou drive in these conditions with greater
tse and safety.
FOG
The first thing to remember when driving
i the fog—especially at night—is to use the
>w-beam headlights. In this way there is
ss glare, and you are able to see more of
te road.
Drive slowly, but keep moving. Turn
our wipers on and use the defroster to
tduce the condensation on the inside of
our windshield.
Be especially alert. Although you and
thers on the road will be driving slowly, it
; amazing how quickly your visibility can
ompletely disappear in thick fog condi
ons, and how quickly you can be right on
jp of another car if you’re not ready for it.
If you have to pull over to the side of the
ad, remember to turn on your flashers.
RAIN
Your watch-word when it rains should be
‘slow down.” Slow down even more when
ntering a curve. Don’t make any sudden
loves with your steering wheel, brakes or
ccelerator unless it is absolutely necessary,
dso, remember to allow more than the
ecommended space between you and the
ar in front of you.
During a light rain, try using the wind
hield washers before you turn on the
vipers. A light rain may not wash the film
iff of your windshield —and when the
vipers are turned on, the result is streaking
-which can greatly reduce your vision.
If you must drive through deep water, go
lowly. Going too fast may splash water on
rour ignition system and short out the
park plugs. After you’ve gone through
leep water, remember to pump your brakes
i few times to see if they are still tight. If
ravel by auto, airplane, bus or rail is always an exciting and wonderful adventure.. .as long as it is
ouble free and comfortable. American manufacturers have now established themselves as makers and
oviders of excellent modes of transportation of all types. American-made accessories, replacement
trts and other travel needs also are the finest available anywhere. All travelers, however, need helpful,
oney-saving advice. So, whether you are motoring, flying or travelling by rail, make it your business to

they have gotten wet and faded, shift into
low gear and drive slowly, holding the
brakes on lightly. Most of the time, you
won’t have to go very far before they dry.
SNOW
Be prepared! As the old saying goes, “An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.” When you are expecting to drive in
snowy weather, no matter how short or
great the distance, you should make sure
you have snow tires or chains—and a basic
winter emergency kit. The kit should in
clude a steel shovel, matches, candles or
several containers of canned heat, a metal
coffee can, two plastic garbage bags or a
large sheet of plastic, sand, flares and flash
light. The shovel and sand will help you get
out if you should get stuck. Use the candle
or canned heat to melt snow in the coffee
can for drinking water, in case you are
snowbound. The candle and can will double
as a foot warmer, if necessary. The garbage
bags are great insulators against the wind if
you find that you have to get out of your
car in a blinding snowstorm. A luxury sur
vival kit might also include some extra
warm clothing, nonperishable foods, a
compass and a CB—if you plan to go some
place where the weather is like the North
Pole!
When driving in snow, remember: 1)
Keep all windows clear of ice and snow, on
all sides. If you can’t see another car, you
can’t avoid it.
2) Try not to park in a parallel direction if
it’s icy. It’s a lot harder to get moving again
if you have to turn your wheels.
3) When stopping your car, ease off the
accelerator slowly and earlier than normal
—then pump your brakes gently, instead of
jamming them on.
4) If you start to skid, steer in the direc
tion that the rear of the car is sliding.
Best of all—Don’t drive in the snow
unless absolutely necessary!

Give greasy stains
your 'all' in 1980
DEAR INEZ: One of my New Year's resolutions was to keep my
home as clean as possible, but I’ve got real problems. I just can't
seem to remove oily stains from my table linens. My favorite table
cloth is still splattered with gravy and ketchup stains. The laundry
detergent I’ve been using hasn’t helped much—and it’s too costly to
replace linens at today's prices. What should I do? BAFFLED
HOMEMAKER.
DEAR BAFFLED HOMEMAKER: There is no better time than the
present to get a new start in learning how to get
the most out of your laundry detergent. And the
first thing you should do is to start using new
kSBs f improved CONCENTRATED “all,” which is es
’V f A pecially effective in removing tough, greasy, oily
J I Ki dirt as well as gravy and ketchup stains.
In fact, you will find that CONCENTRATED
"all” outcleans other leading powders on tough,
iHWniM-PliO.l greasy, oil stains—and it’s also effective in all
Huillniii j.'l jikl water temperatures—hot, warm or cold.
y o j ncrease th e efficiency of your detergent,
follow these helpful laundry hints: Sort your wash by color, fabric
and amount of soil. Wash non-colorfast items separately.
Pour CONCENTRATED “all” into the washing machine as it fills
with water, before adding the clothes. This allows the detergent to
dissolve easier. Remember, CONCENTRATED “all” helps keep your
modern colors and fabrics—even tough-to-clean polyester—looking
clean, bright and fresh.
THICK AND RICH SYRUP SWEETENS YOUR MEALS
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to start your day off right. That means
eating a tasty nutritional breakfast every day. Pancakes and waffles
are ideal foods to serve on these cold mornings, along with French
toast.
To add further zest and taste appeal to the meal, just top these
dishes off with MRS. BUTTERWORTH’S Syrup. The s
Kaiser family prefers MRS. BUTTERWORTH'S because
it is thicker than the leading syrup and tastes so good.
The thick, rich taste of this buttered syrup is also de
licious in other ways. For example, you can substitute
MRS. BUTTERWORTH’S for sugar in hot cereal for a
taste-tempting change. With some fruit juice and hot /fIWiV;
chocolate, this makes a hearty, warming breakfast for /
cold mornings. 4
MRS. BUTTERWORTH'S can also be used to good
advantage in your favorite recipes. Chill MRS.
BUTTERWORTH’S in the refrigerator for a fabulous topping for ice
cream desserts. Top fruit salads with a refreshing salad dressing of
1-2 tablespoons of MRS. BUTTERWORTH'S Syrup stirred into 1
cup of sour cream.
IT’S EASY TO BRUSH AWAY BAD BREATH
IN THIS HEALTH AND BEAUTY-conscious world, everyone
seems concerned with appearance—and they should be. Faced with
career decisions, meeting new people or making a good impression
in social situations, we are all keenly aware of the importance of
fresh, clean breath as well as bright, white teeth.
That’s where CLOSE-UP comes in. CLOSE-UP is a true two-in
one product. It’s a toothpaste with real mouthwash to freshen your
breath and get your teeth as white as they can be.
In other words, CLOSE-UP helps brush away bad breath as it
cleans and whitens teeth.
j This gel toothpaste is available in clear
imi»ite'ii luflm&iS*♦ -4 re( j or m j n f g reen flavors. Both versions pro
vide the cleaning effectiveness of a toothpaste and the breath
freshening qualities of a mouthwash in one single grooming step.
For the total look of beauty, think of CLOSE-UP for whiter teeth
and fresher breath. It’s as important a cosmetic as lipstick. If you're
a smoker, feel confident that CLOSE-UP toothpaste can help com
bat “smoker’s breath.”
Look for the new Super Size tube of CLOSE-UP on your grocer’s
or druggist’s shelf. It gives you 8.2 ounces of super-whitening
toothpaste and mouthwash in one.
