VACATIONS SHOULD
BE SPENT In SAFETY

have no means Of determining the
condition of equipment or cOmpe-
tency or drivers so It is urged that
they employ only responsible con-
cenrs which specialize in passenger
transportation. In good many cit
les, motor trucks constitute one of
the greatest transportation hazards.
Passenger transportation requires a
high degree of skill. experience and
equipment maintenance than does the
hauling of merchandise. Commercial
motor trucks should be the last
choice for picnic transportation.
Choose a reliable bus company whose
sole duty is the transportation Of
the public. Picnic managers are
cautioned not to overload their vehi-
cles. This commonly occurs only in
motor trucks or private automobiles.
and in some instances has caused
very distressing accidents in various
parts of the country. Overlooking
vehicles often cause top heaviness,
invites panic, endangers driving
morals and occasionally leads to loss
of control of the vehicle, particularly
The Delaware Safety Council offers
these timely warnings:
1. Allow sufficient time to make
the trip safe both ways. Never re-
quest or permit the driver to make up
for lost time by reckless speeding.
2. At railroad crossings where no
watchman is on duty, proceed with
exceptional caution. be sure you are
safe and then go ahead.
3. HOmeward bound picnickers
generally like to sing. Occasionally
grade crossing disasters have occur
red because singing prevented the
driver from hearing the warning
whistle of an approaching train.
4. Storm conditions are also often
contributary causes of picnic acci-
dents. with storm clouds threaten
ing, a rain falling. the natural reac-
tions Of the picnickers is to strike It
for home, particularly if the party is
using uncovered vehicles. But with
roads filed with others similarly
minded and pavements increasingly
treacherous the accident hazard ra-
tion jumps alarmingly. The folks
may get wet but il the picnic safety
function effectively they
will lead all OF their party home safe
and sound.
