SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

What is the most dangerous fifth
column in America?
Spies and saboteurs? No, says the
National Safety Council. Far more
dangerous to our defense efforts
are accidents.
Accidents are striking at skilled
workmen, military personnel and
many others whose services are
valuable. President Roosevelt be-
lieves these accidents are seriously
hampering defense, and he has ask
ed the National Safety Council to
lead campaign against them.
The help of every man, woman,
and child in the country is needed.
Enlist now. for safety Help hold
the accident front.
Young drivers who speed along
a highway with one arm around the
girl friend are courting disaster,
not the object of their affections,
the National Safety Council warns.
Automobiles these days require
both hands on the wheel and both
eyes glued on the road ahead.
Young lovers who ignore those
facts may go down the aisle of a
church to the funeral march in
stead of the wedding march.
Stopping on the highway to
change fat is pretty sure way
of getting knocked fiat yourself,
says the National Safety Council in
a warning to motorists.
When you stop along the road,
drive as far to the right as possible. |
By all means, get completely off |
the pavement. And at night, make
doubly sure another car doesn't
crash into you by having someone |
stand guard with a flashlight to |
warn approaching motorists.
Whoever coined the phrase "kick
the bucket. must have had home
accidents in mind, believes the Ma
tional Safety Council.
Kicking the bucket and stumbling
over other household articles on
stairways have caused many fatal
home falls, the council says.
1t would take a mountain goat
o thread his way safely through
he accumulated junk on many Gel
ar stairs. Stairs are not store
'ooms. Keep them clear!
Here's bit of safety advice in
'hyme from the National Safety
Jouncil:
Stop and let the train go by
1t hardly takes a minute.
Your cars starts off again intact
And best of all-you're in it!
