Principal Hazards
Of Winter Driving
CHICAGO— What's the lowdown
on traction and stopping ability on
snow and ice? Should motorists in
snow-ice affected states throw
away their tire chains and rely on
snow tires? What are the reliable
techniques for driving safely
through the more dangerous win-
ter months ahead?
These questions—and others
which each winter cause public
confusion due to conflicting claims
misinformation or just plain wish-
ful thinking are answered in a
new research report by the Na-
tional Sat ety Council Entitled
"Quit Your Skiddin'" the report
is based on actual tests and studies
by t h e Councils Committee on
Winter Driving Hazards — a group
of 32 experts embracing all fields
of traffic and automotive safety
Their chief objective is to reduce
the higher-than-average death and
accident rates which prevail dur-
ing the winter months Their sec-
ond objective is to reduce the
numerous traffic tieups and costly
delays due to slippery surfaces and
Impaired visibility Professors
Ralph A Moyer University of Cali-
fornia -and A H Easton Univer-
sity of Wisconsin are co-chairmen
of the Committee
Their endings include the follow-
ing recommendations:
1 Winterize your car and your
driving techniques
2 Have good tire s use tire
chains
3 Keep windshield and windows
clear
4 Adjust your speed to road
and weather conditions
5 Follow at a safe distance —
well back of the vehicle ahead
6 Pump your brakes when
stopping
Two States Have
Most Oldsters
NEW YORK — Iowa and New
Hampshire have the highest pro-
portion of elders in their popula-
tion In both states 11 per cent of
the total population — about one
person in nine—is 65 or older
New Mexico and Arizona have
the lowest proportion in the 65 or
older bracket—New Mexico with
53 per cent and Arizona with 58
per cent
The proportion of 65 or older
for the United States as a whole
Is 86 per cent or about one in
1
twelve of the entire population In
cheat themselves cin
(each one takes $400 off your
than 10 percent of the support and !
he must be a member of a group
who altogether pr)vidod more than
half support and that person must !
have been enLtled to claim that
(1ndent except tol the require-
nwnt of proviiio-4 more than half
support
in order for one ot the group to
hav- the et minion ill other mem
tiers of the grp who contributed
more than 10 per cent must sign
declarations that they will not claim
the dependent The internal Rev-
enue Service provides Form 2120
S'upport Agreement) for
this purpose
Children and Disabled Dependents
There is a deduction of as much
as $600 for care of children under
12 while the breadwinner works
This childcare deduction is avail-
able to mothers widowers divorced
and legally separated persons who
are allowed to deduct expenses paid
to someone other than a dependent
for the care of a son daughter
stepson or stepdaughter under the
age limit This regulation also ap-
plies to any &pendent of any age
who is mentally or physically in-
capacitated A working wife is entitled to this
deduction if her husband is physi-
cally or mentally incapable of pro-
viding support Where the husband
is not disabled the working wife
may also take the child-care deduc-
tion only if a joint return is tiled
and the $600 limit must be reduced
by the amount of the couple's gross
Income exceeds $4500 It should be
kept in mind that you can't take
this deduction if you take the stand- I
ard 10 percent deduction
The instruction book which comes
with your tax form gives further
information Help is also available !
by telephone or at offices of the
Internal Revenue Service The Rev-
enue Service urges you to consult
a properly qualified advisor if you
decide to seek outside help

1900 only 41 per cent of all Amer-
icans were in this age group
The proportion of older people
has been increasing for more than
a century slowly at first and more
rapidly in recent decades
In numbers those at age 65 and
over increased from 3100000 in
1900 to 14128000 in 1955
Science Doesn't Know
All About Myopia
CHICAGO—There are some ques-
tions about myopia or nearsighted-
ness which scientists are still
unable to answer with certainty
But this visual error has been
broken down into three broad va-
rieties — the "ordinary" type the
"progressive" type and the type
which begins with middle age
Ordinary nearsightedness attacks
eyes that are otherwise normal
most often appearing in youngsters
who are fond of reading when they
are between the ages of eight and
16 It's apt to advance during the
growth period and to stabilize when
adulthood is reached
Progressive myopia always
strikes sickly children regardless
of whether or not they like to read
It advances quickly and reaches a
Very high degree Fortunately few
people sutler from it for it is ac-
companied by destructive p r u c-
esses and may lead to blindness
Successful Business
Often Gets Careless
LOS ANGELES—If your business
Is too successful watch out!
This is the warning of Dr Harold
D Koontz a faculty member of
the Graduate School of Business
Administration at UCLA
From his observations and serv-
ice on boards of directors in five
industries Dr Koontz has devel
oped a theory of business compe-
tition which he calls the "theory of
the aggressor"
In general the theory's thesis
is that: "Whenever any business
becomes tot) stable or comfortable
or profitable—there is always an
aggressive soand-so who will pop
up to take advantage of the situa-
tion—either for his own or his com-
pany's benefit"
Color for Everywhere
NEW YORK—Modern homemak
ens are discovering that the work
areas of the home need not be dim
dark or grim Kitchens for exam-
ple can be just as bright and
cheerful as any other part of the
home thanks to durable but color-
ful materials like ceramic tile
available in about 200 different
shares and an infinite variety of
shapes sizes and textures
