Wise Winter Motorist
Will Drive Defensively
During the winter months ice, snow, heavy rains and
generally bad weather substantially increase possibilities
for automobile accidents.
It is especially fitting that December has been named
“Safe Driving Month.” Armed services personnel do a lot
of driving in the winter with
days or moving from one assign-'
ment to another. They should be
more than alert to the dangers of
winter driving.
Every car should be winterized,
equipped with snowtires or chains,
and kept in good mechanical con-
dition. Defrosters and windshield
wipers should be checked and re-
placed or repaired as necessary.
Never drive your car until all the
windows are cleared. You can’t
avoid an accident if you don’t see
it coming.
But no matter in how good a
condition the car is, safety ulti-
mately depends on the driver.
more trips home for the holi-
Winter or summer, a good driver
is, always on the defensive, as-
suming the other driver will be
less careful or familiar with road
conditions. Caution is even more
necessary when roads are packed
with ice or snow. A driver apply-
ing his brakes obviously will not
stop as quickly as he would on a
dry surface, or may not stop at
all.
The wise winter driver appro-
aches every stop sign as though
it was his last. Be cautious, not a
casualty. (AFPS)
---- WOW WinnerJ —
CONGRATULATIONS AND CASH TOO—The first cash award from
the War On Waste Campaign were presented last Tuesday by Capt
Emile E. Pierre, Jr., commanding officer of the Naval Station, to two
suggestors. A new process of filtering JP-4 jet fuel that is economic
and safer won Mr. R. J. Louis (right), Quarterman for the Fuel Divi-
sion a $430 check. Mr. Kristinn Ardal, (left), accepted a $15 check
for his father, Mr. Steinthor P. Ardal, who is in the hospital. The
elder Mr. Ardal’s award winning suggestion lowered the electric
sockets in building #752 from their three-foot level where they caused
a safety hazard to people walking through the halls while any cord
was connected to a socket. Mr. Ardal is the Leadingman, Labor Janitor
of Public Works.

Chaplain Robert G. Brown
“The WHITE FALCON’S “Inquiring Photographer” recently asked
several individuals the following question: “If you were capable of
doing one good deed for the entire human race, what would it be?”
The answers that the various individuals gave showed that they were
very much aware of the needs of humanity at this Christmas season.
One young lady’s heart went out to a world torn by hostility and
the wished that she might instill a feeling of consideration for others
in the hearts of all men. A man wished that he could join all men
in a common language. Another’s good deed would be “To stop wars
in all countries and let all our troops come home.”
Christmas Gift
What would you like to give the world this Christmas? There is
much that I would like to give. I would like to present robust health
to those whose bodies or minds have been afflicted by disease. I
would like to give grieving widows back their husbands. I wish that
I could lift the load of heartache and disappointment from the hearts
of parents who have seen sons and daughters mar their reputations
and warp their characters. But something needs to be emphasized at
this point. I CAN ONLY GIVE WHAT I HAVE TO GIVE.
Many a boy would rather have a little more of his father’s time
than an elaborate gift. Many girls would exchange their prized pos-
session for a mother’s confidence and the knowledge that they could
share with her all their problems. Some lonesome shipmate would
appreciate a word of friendship. Concern for the world must begin
with concern for those about us.
How easy it is to wish to give what is not in our power to give what
we have. And make no mistake about it, each of us has something
worthwhile to bestow. This was well expressed by NEWSWEEK
magazine in a paragraph entitled THE GREATEST GIFT.
“It has no fancy wrap. It bears no scarlet ribbon. But it will sure-
ly ring a Christmas bell in the heart of the recipient .... It can bring
glowing love to a child. It can give confidence and direction to a teen-
ager. It can give reassurance to an older person. It can calm the
frightened. It can comfort the lonely. It can give hope to those who
feel they live on the outposts of our society. It is worth a thousand
tinseled packages. It is the greatest Christmas gift of all — an un-
selfish act of human kindness.”
That, sir, is something we can all give.
