Labor Day
Traffic Dangers

Despite the gasoline situation
serious traffic dangers over the Lab
or Day weekend are anticipated by
the Keystone Automobile Club.
1.-The three-day holiday" said
Edward p. Curran, Safety Director
of the Club, annually results in
many avoidable traffic tragedies.
Haste is a primary cause of these ac-
cidents, with most of the nations
100000 vehicles ON the highways
and every driver apparently intent
on reaching a resort or returning
from one without loss of time.
1--WE do not suggest that motor
lists dawdle along the highways at
extremely low speed, because that in
itself creates congestion and
causes drivers to take chances in
passing slow-moving vehicles. Or
derby driving within the limits sug-
gested in the gas saving program
will keep the highways clear OF con-
gestion and facilitate the move-
ment of what annually is the great
est holiday traffic volume.
Main arteries of travel will not
be adequate for the number of We
hicles trying to use them next Mon
day night, so it will be the part of
wisdom for motorists to acquaint
themselves with alternate routes
over secondary roads. Another point
to remember is that the earlier
start the more opportunity for ar
irving safely and without undue
strain.
"Under all conditions, motorists
should not loose sight of the fact
that they are part of great traffic
movement and that individual de-
sires must be subordinated to the
common good. Horn blowing and
other displays of temper will not
help the situation.

URGES CAUTION
REQUESTS ALL TO COOPER.
ATE DURING FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATION

TAMPA, June rs (FNS).-
Again the Florida Safety Coun-
Gil is calling on the people of
Florida to exercise every caution
through the Fourth of July holi-
day period.
Holiday traffic, Director
Asher Frank points out, lis al
ways a hazard for the motorist.
Records show July to be one of
the worst traffic accident
months. During that period
folks are pleasure bent; they are
on vacations and they are not
thinking of the dangers that Turk
on the crowded highways.
A year ago six persons were
killed in accidents; four were
drowned; two killed in traffic
accidents in this state, while
there were numerous injured.
BE cautious, urges Frank.
"and live to see another indie
pendence Day. Don't everyday,
don't 60 in swimming until an
hour after eating, don't take
chances on the highway, and be
careful when diving to avoid
shallow water"
