For Conflict With Russia


Speed is a mighty fine
thing. 1t is good to know
that your machine will re-
spond when you need it, but
most of the accidents are due
to the fact that the driver is
speeding beyond the power
of control. Too many acci-
dents happen on straight
roads on clear days, from
speeding. Remember that
children will run out from
side streets, cows and other
animals are on the main high.
ways. Never drive a car at a
speed greater than you can
control. One of the greatest
mistakes drivers can make is
to believe that the road is
clear.
