SATURDAY, NOV. 22, 1941. THE DAILY MICHIGAN. PACtl FIVE NEWS OF THE MOTOR WORLD MOBILIZE AGAINST ACCIDENTS" WARNS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IUTO TAX Bills Will Be Mailed to All Auto Owners by Private Firm (fP) treasury plans for collec- tion of the new $5 a year fed- oral automobile use tax called today for the mailing of bills' to an estimated 35,000.000 automobile owners by a com- i mercial publishing concern. I Although no final signatures havp been affixed, the con- tract has been drawn up to have this work done by R.

L. Polk for about $4000,000. The concern would compile the list of automobile owners from registration lists either at internal revenue of- oitheir at internal revenue offices or post offices. Under the law recently enacted, automobile owners would be required to pay $2.09 for a sticker good from Feb. 1 until July 1 of next year.

Then a sticker would be required at a cost of $5 for the following 12 months. i Officials said that since the! first, stickers were not requir- ed until Feb. 1. final plans! had not been completed. Some i congressmen have proposed i repealing the tax before it; goes into effect on the ground i that the cost of collection will; be excessive.

Besides the' money paid to the publishing i concern, it would cost the; treasury several million dollars! a year to print forms and stickers and pay other ex- pcnses in connection with the i tax. which was expected to' yield about $160,000,000 peri year.

TONIGHT President Roosevelt's recent safety proclamation called on every citizen to cooperate in "preventing of human and material resources of the Nation through accidents." Above is the new guide on braking distances for automobiles according to weather conditions affecting road surfaces, based on National Safety Council research. Over 3,000 tests were made on frozen Lake Cadillac, and snow-covered roads under direction of Professor Ralph A.

Moyer of Iowa State College, chairman of Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. (Actual stopping distances are 22 feet more than each of the average braking distances shown above because it takes average motorist three-quarters of a second to react and apply brakes after seeing reason to stop. This means 22 feet at 20 miles per hour.) Study of chart may prevent needless deaths, injuries or costly property War Declared on Winter; Safety Rules Are Listed 1.

Winter driving hazards are an immediate salient on the public safety front whiah, when conditions arrive, threaten traffic tieup.s, increase accidents and loss of man hours that will hamper National Defense activities," declared a i joint by Under Secrc- lary of War Robert P. and Lieut. Franklin M. Kre- ml. director of the safety divi- i sion of the nation's chiefs of police.

i Pointing out practical pre- i vention methods to minimize primary winter cling and reduced authorities emphasized tha traffic tie-ups and accidents can be avoided by public co- operation. i "While dangerous conditions exist during and immediately after severe snow or sleet storms i drivers should co-operate by re; ducing speed, maintaining ade- i quote vision with windshield 1 wipers and defrosters, and necessary traction by putting on 'tire else don't drive," I the authorities warned. "Traffic will be heavier in many sec-j cnalns on tires If lions this winter, particularly in industrial areas with impor- I tant defense work, and traffic blockades, semi-blind driving and sickening skid-wrecks must be prevented by practical methods." Based on research by the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter the following lions gives very little added traction and increases instability and tendency to skid on curves. It also damages tires, making them more susceptible to blowouts. 2.

Without chains even good tire treads slip and slide on snow or ice. Tire chains bite into hard-packed snow or icy road surface. Check your anti-skid chains. Put them on when needed for more positive stop- and-go traction. Traffic tie-ups will not be tolerated.

3. Wincisineid wipers and defrosters that don't operate lead to winter accidents. Make sure wipers and defrosters are in good working order. You must see a hazard to avoid it. 5.

High speeds on snow or ice are more than doubly dangerous. It takes 3 to 11 times normal distance to stop on snow or ice. Adjust your speed to conditions. Even when protected with chains, speeds should be reduced from those considered Tallman Festival Is High Success TALLMAN. The Thanksgiving festival held at Tallman school on Monday evening, Nov.

17, as a decided success. Over 200 guests from Scottville, Fountain and Round lake listened to the program and joined in the fun afterwards. Lila Dawn Schultz was voted the most popular girl in Tallman school and Miss Gertrude Eastman, in her usual charming manner, made the "festival crown" presentation to Miss Schultz. Harley Martz was winner of the 20-pound turkey which was given as a feature of the festival. The fishing pond and booths all drew enthusiastic crowds.
