My attention has been called TO
recent railroad crossing accident. Some
motorists seem to think that there has
been a curtailment in railroad traffic
because there has been driving cur
tailment. On the contrary, more freight
trains are being run on greater num-
Der of schedules. 1t behooves all OF us
to be more alert than ever at these
crossings.
Reduce your speed when you see a
sign indicating railroad crossing.
Look carefully in both directions be-
fore crossing the track.
Keep the windshield and windows
clean and free from frost.
Never change gears while crossing
| tracks.
Obey the signals of flagmen, auto
matte signals, or gates, if there are
any, at the crossing. To the gooo
driver it is always train time at rail-
road crossings. Train your nina 10
mind the trains.
