Scranton Not to Sign Bill on State Dog HARRISBURG (AP) A bill making the Great Dane Pennsylvania's official dog will become law Sunday without Gov.

Scranton feels that the selection of certain breeds of dogs for such recognition goes beyond the original intentions or objectives of having official state designations, the source said Friday. However, the course continued, since the General Assembly passed the bill, the governor feels it should become law without his official approval until a such time as the legislature may care to repeal it.

Wards Announces New Automobile Safety Tire This winter one of the most effective automobile safety developments in years will be widely available. It will help eliminate the risks and sometimes miseries of winter driving. It's the "Studded Tire." Coming to our store, after long testing In Europe, studded tires give you greatly increased traction, insures quicker stops and gives you more control on icy roads. Tests of studded tires on frozen Lake Mascoma in New Hampshire were extremely impressive. Cars with studs in all four tires showed a 60 percent reduction in breaking distance a 200 improvement for traction on ice, and up to 500 ii improvement on moist ice.

Moist ice is the worst kind. In Duluth, on ice of Lake Superior, testers reported that a car traveling al 35 miles an hour with studded tires could stop in 40 feel less space lhan the same model car equipped with conventional winter tires. In Cleveland, Ohio, to test control and road-keeping ability, drivers put a car with studded tires through a sequence of "figure eights" on the glare of an Ice Hockey Rink. There were no skids. When they tried the same make car without studded tires, it floundered and fender- banged all over the rink.
