You the man woman or teen ager behind the wheel have a big responsibility In 1910 3 000 persqns were killed in traffic accidents Last year there was an increasing crescendo of death on the highways the worst fatality toll in a decade What can yow do about it? Your acts of safe driving are your contributions toward a greatly lessened dearh toll Every time you lower your speed to stay w'ithin safe limits drive more carefully as night and weather conditions demand extra care stay in your own traffic laneand abide by all the rules of the road you are contributing to greater highway safety Being a safer driver is like giving blood for a transfusion to save a life Taking a heedless chance may spill your blood or and waste it on the highways 10000 lives tobe saved in 1952 is a goal worth striving for by all who drive or walk Even half that number saved would help stem the rushing tide of death on our highways ride with the reckless! Most drivers play fair and observe the traffic rules but some the speeders cowboys road hogs drinking drivers and chronic accident must be forced to conform Temptation tq follow their bad examples means that more lives will become death statistics Re selfish with your own life careful with the lives of others va Ac Thnnnk Yniir liln hAnonelc ftn IT RACCI 1 Mr II 1 I REMEMBER.
