No. 7—SLIPPERY WEATHER
Ice and snow always brag problems for drivers. These problems are the
result of less fricFcn. And that is interesting, because usually we are try
ing to reduce friction all we can. We use ball and roller bearings to overcome
friction. We smooth and polish parts to reduce fric-
STp ... tion. We put oil in our cars to avoid friction. But we

=( jjJV J ’’-igp Most of the time we have plenty of traction. But
in certain climates every year. Winter comes blowing
end blustering down from the North, and the first
s&J/ijl \ thing v.-e know he has spread ice and snow over our
fpjpfeg* > roads, and our whole traction condition is changed.
But automobiles are pretty well prepared these
A\V days to meet any conditions. All we have to do is to
* r-v-v.v., adjust ourselves to these changed circumstances.
For instance, many skillful drivers start their cars in high gear on very
slippery, icy streets. Ord narily this would be a bad thing to do. But when
our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or
snow, starting in second or “high” is harmless and it
does help to avoid spin-- 3 wheels, side slipping and crncoi^Z

very slowly. / //5 !
This business of starting in slippery weather can
be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so. \/ 1
However, most good drivers agree on one method v = --
that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they X (i.i x __±=
begin to slow their cars down at quite a distance W
from where they want to stop. They press the brake A\ Xv-u
lightly at first and release it almost at once. Then /:—-
they press again and release quickly. By a series
of brief, moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, they
gradually reduce speed and can usually stop without skidding.
Many of the best drivers always make A a point
Snot to disengage the clutch as soon as they apply
their brakes, but to wait until the car has almost
stopped. While this is their general practice, they
say it is especially important on slippery roads, as
they claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But
if we use this method there is one thing we must look
out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur
face it is very easy to stall our engine by using our
brakes when the clutch is still engaged.
Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid
ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us
that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though
it were going to be a stop. In other words, they ap-
PS®*.-. proach curves using the very same system of short,
moderate brake actions. The result is that when they reach the curve they are
t „ inf w s iowly that they can actually give the engine a little gas and put
some power in the wheels. With power turning the
wheels, we are not so likely to skid. yamgggfp&T-Stisps
After all, the main thing to do about driving in - ~
slippery weather is just what we do about walking in fggnV->—
slippery weather. We are all pretty careful about IX

110 POUND HAM WILL BE
PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT
John W. Sammons, of Eatonton, a
well-known Putnam county citizen,
observed hog-killing time recently b\
slaughtering a 920-pound porker
which he produced this year.
The hams weighed 110 pounds
each and one of them, as soon as it
is cured, is to be sent to President
Roosevelt as a gift from Mr. Sam
r.ions.
Now if someone will remember the
president with a few hundred dozen
eggs, there’ll be no need for any
lack of ham and eggs at the White
House breakfast table for a long time
to come.
Many large hogs are reported
throughout the state this season.

This is the time of year when I
would like to leave my desk in the
city and spend the next two month;
viewing basketball games in rural
communities. Because, folks, coun

quite seriously. And their pro

spirited and they are loyal.
I remember when I was a small
chap stubbing my toe on the stumps
and roots of the terrain which ha
evolved into the progressive city of
Montezuma that baseball was the
major craze.
Football, bah! Who cared to make
a long trip over muddy roads in n
skipping motor car to witness a con
test in which—it seemed—twenty
two men were scrambling for a lost
shoe?

But, as does the weather, times

engaged in fighting the itch caused
by peach fur in the packing houses
became interested in basketball.
Now, basketball is the most popu

today. Every village, every hamlet,
every cross-road center has a team,
both for boys and girls. And how
