Journal- -Wednesday, August 29, 1973 Wednesdays editorial Labor Day The long Labor Day weekend is coming up and that means overcrowded roads may increase our chance of an auto accident and unattended homes will increase the opportunities for Last Labor Day weekend, 602 persons died as a result of auto accidents 5 in lowa, according to the National Safety Council. The first six, months of year, more than 385 persons have died in lowa traffic accidents. One and a half million residences were burglarized last year, the Institute reports, many on the Labor Day weekend when workers and their families were "out of town' Ironically, the occupants assisted the burglar in about 20 per cent of the cases simply by leaving a door unlocked. The Institute advises that you can reduce the chances of becoming a traffic statistic or a burglary victim the small society by following a few common sense rules: Lock unattended cars and store personal property out of sight. More than 800,000 motor vehicles were stolen in 1972; a majority were unlocked.

Don't attempt to drive too far in three days, and remember death rates are highest at night. For night trips, take someone along to help drive and keep you awake. Speed and alcohol are the most frequent causes of highway death and injury. Don't drink before driving and observe speed limits. A dark house or apartment attracts burglars.

Leave a light or two aglow when you are gone at night or on vacation. Uncollected newspapers and mail also tip off burglars. Before leaving, ask a neighbor or apartment manager to watch the premises and remove newspapers and mail. by Brickman Ha-BOY!
