Safety
Notes
BY BILL GLIB
Key West Police Dept.

The Atlanta regional office of
Allstate Insurance Company has
sent me nearly two thousand safe
ty pamphlets entitled, Defensive
Driving Tactics" ''How Fast Can
You Stop" and 1.-THE Nights De-
ceiving Eyes"
Mr.. A. S. Johnson, Jr., customer
relations manager for Allstate, al
so informs me that their publica-
ton, "Home and Highway" will
be made available to the local Key
West Safety Council.
These things are free Of charge
and they are an indication OF how
reliable companies include the well
fare of the public in all their at
Itempts to build a larger and bet

ment that an organization can gain
is to create feeling of apprecia-

didn't take long for most of the
pamphlets to be picked up.
II so many people are attracted
by information pertaining to pub
lie safety, why - you may ask -.
do we continue to have tragic un-
necessary accidents?
The situation isn't quite as bad
as it appears. Since the formation
of the National Safety Council and
with every advent of new local
safety councils such as the Key
West organization, the accident
picture tends to become somewhat
better. The growth in population,
an increased number of mechani-
cal inventions, etc, distorts a true
perspective of the work of these
safety groups.
However, there is no use having

of such 4 move, with 80 per cent
in opposition and 2 per cent express

close to $500 million. There is little
