WILL YOU KILL SOMEONE ON
LABOR DAY?

A good many of Delaware's auto
mobilists are undoubtedly planning
an automobile trip for the Labor
Day holidays. They will have three
days = Saturday. Sunday and Mon
day. The Delaware Safety Council
hopes motorists will accept a word
of warning before they start out.
The three holiday week-ends last
year-Memorial Day, the Fourth of
July and Labor Day-marked the
three peaks of the year in automo-
bile deaths. Each of these week.
ends saw the toll mount to a new
high record. There is no reason to
believe those records won't be brok-
en- this year.
The reasons are obvious. Every
body that has car goes somewhere
on a holiday weekend The roads
are jammed and everyone is in a
hurry to get somewhere or to get
back home. Roads that will accom-
modate normal traffic are crowded
beyond their capacities. Accidents
result.
what our country needs is more
no-accident drivers. In these days
election when everyone is
being told what he can do for his
country and what it is that Ameri-
ca needs, every good citizen can
start a little campaign of his own
as a candidate as a no-accident dri-
yer.
You can cast a vote for safety ev-
cry time you sit down behind the
wheel of your car. If enough candi-
dates of the no-accident driver part |
are successful in getting enough !
votes for safety hundreds of lives |
will be saved during the Labor Day !
holidays and thousands will be saw
ed during the next twelve months.
Take your time and drive cauti-
ously. Don't let an accident spoil
your holiday.
