WE Drivers A SerixM of BrieJ^ DUeuttions on Driving, Dedi- . cattd to the Safety, Comfort and Pleasure of the Motoring Public. Prepared by Generel Motors No. 5—DRIVING ON HILLS ■\ I N soMX parts of the country hills are taken lor granted ... and good steep ones, too. But for some of us who live in flatter country,.hill driving ia not so familiar. As a matter of fact, there are several conditions. '■ ■ • peculiar to driving ia very sleep hills or mountains, .V- especially if the altitude is high. For instance, a car that develops 100 horsepower at 8ea*level, has onljr 82 horsepower at an altitude of 5000 feet, and only 60 horsepower on top of Pike’s Peak. \ Another thing is that sometimes grades are* de ceptive and we don’t realize how st^ they jire, if there is no level ground to judge bjf. ~ So if we go on a road trip and happen to get into c^try where hills are hills, wa often have no idea ql/what is in store for ua Like as not. We will coma rolling up to a hill, UWng It for granted that we’ll make the grade. But' before we’ve gone very far we find that our power seems to be giving out, and we’re ^ slowing down. Then we realize w'e must shift to second gear, but we’re lucky if we haven’t found out so late that there we are, stalled on a Will . Now people who drive on hills all the time say . one thing to remember Is that there’s nothing like V a good start. Of course, this is true, because the Vilnute we start up. gravity starts to work and work fast. Yard-by-yard it uses up our momentum-till by- and-by that momentum is Just about gone. Then we have to shift to a lower gear to increase our power. Experts tell us that by far the mo.st common fault In hill-climbing is failure to shift to a lower .gear soon eiwjugh. So just to be sure, some drivers set a definite'point at which to change gears. The con sensus of ^pinion seems to be that we should always ■ go into, second gear speed gets down “^Sr20 nines an hour. There are times, however, when we want to stop on a hill. So it’s important to know* how to start again, with our car on an upgrade. And (here seem to be two methods used by experienced drivers. Spme lue their foot brake to.keep their carsjfrom rolling backward, put their engine in low gear and accelerate slowly with the hand throttle, gradually engaging their clutch and releasing the brake at the same time. Other good drivers do exactly tRe same thing, only “they use the hand brake and the foot accelerator. But both groups tell us it doesn’t make much difference ... to use whichever method we happen to like the better. Now there aren’t many hills that cars I \ can’t climb nowadays ... and what goes up ' ^must come down. And that’s where we have to look out for momentum. He may have been a friend in need when we were toming up hill, but going down he’ll run away with us if we aren’t careful. And if there are any sharp curves or any bad bumps or loose gravel, we have to be careful or he’ll Ijitch tis; right off the roadi- Many drivers say that we should go down a hill in the same gear we would use to get^ up. In other words, if it’s sleep enough so we would have to go up in second or even low gear, then we’d better get into thte nme gear before we start down. If our car la I in second or. low gear, our engine works As a very eflectivc brake, and besides it teves a lot of wear on our real brakes. - Apeeking of gears, experienced drivers say we shonid never, under any condition, disengage our emteh and ^st down hill. That's just what mwnen- tmn is waiUng £ot. Just gtya moihentum a free rein, ivithout our engine to cheek it, and nobody can tell wi'.at's going to happen. Wh-n we do got ih country where people are used to driving on hills all the time, it may'seem to us that they take those hills jvittMOt the slightest concern, ^ut if we were in their cars with them cooid aratch them closely, we would set thst they taka all thase^i.ie* cautions wt hart' mentioned, just as a matter of habit.

The new cars which are in the low-price field have been particularly designed by Hud.son engineiM-s and body ^experts to pro- jvide size and style features which up jto this time have not been possible! in that price clas.s. i I Both the six cylinder and eight* cylinder cars ■ are on display and a number of impoi-tant improvements will be noticed. In appearance the new Hudsons''are entirely different from their predecessors. The new sloping front grille presents a highly modem appearance. The V-type windshield and the entirely new styl ing of the hood, body and rear con-* tours plainly date these models as examples of the latest expression of the body designer’s art. Five basic new engineering devel opments are to be found on the Hud son cars this year; On these new cars Radial Safety Control, which is an entirely new system of front end de sign,, is. introduced for the first time. Because of this new front end system, an entirely new and soften front spring can be used j;iving rise to a better ride which Hudson has named aptly, the Rh}rthmic Ride. It «lao results in new steering control which Hudson has called Tru-Lhie Steering. B E TO THE CKEORICLB " per Everybady SiPda** PAJAMAS Beautiful I*{|jamas, in silk and Rayon.
