Down During Holidays to
Keep July Safe
HOLIDAY HAZARDS

To get July off to a fast start in
the safety column, the states motor
lists were asked by the Delaware
Safety Council to slow down during
the Fourth of July holiday.
]. James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council pointed
out that motor vehicle accidents
annually lead the list of holiday
hazards. This year the Fourth will
be four-day weekend holiday for
many persons, and that will great
ly increase traffic on the nation S
highways.
Extra care, caution and effort,
on the part of everyone, will be
needed if we are to enjoy a safe,
happy and tragedy-free Fourth, .
Mr.. Ashton said. Lets all work to-
gether to make certain that death
and disaster do not mar the cele-
bration of anyone in Smyrna.
Remember that the Fourth cele-
brates the birth of our nation.
Don't let it become a day of death
for you or your loved ones. Take it
easy on the Fourth-Be alive on
the fifth"

tically speed tips to holiday driv-
ers:
