Hospital Staff Here
Backs Governors
Safety Program

At it's last annual meeting, the
Medical Staff of the Milford Memoir
ial Hospital discussed the increasing
number of serious and fatal acct
dents on our highways. 1t is the
conviction of those who come into
direct contact with the victims that
drunken driving is a common cause
of the more serious accidents.
The Staff noted the recent pro-
gram set up by the Governors
Highway Safety Committee to
eliminate drunken driving.
The following resolution was
passed unanimously: We, the Medi-
cal Staff of the Milford Memorial
Hospital fully approve of the eight
point program to eliminate drunken
driving as recommended by the
Governors Highway Safety Com
mittee and urge its adoption. We
especially urge legislation to lega-
lie the use of the blood alcohol
test as evidence of drunkenness.
