b CHICAGO R-The nations mo-

extraordinary test of their ability
to drive and walk safely for "a
hours.
The test comes Wednesday. It
has been designated Safe Driving
Day.
Motorists and pedestrians in COM
munities across the country are
being alerted by newspaper stories,
radio broadcasts, modern Paul
Reveres in sound trucks, parades,
posters and handbills.
President Eisenhower proclaimed
SD Day. It is sponsored by the
Presidents Action Committee for
Highway Safety.
The purpose is to reduce traffic
accidents greatly to show that it
can be done. The reduction has
not been specified. The goal, at
least, is a big slash and, at best,
no accidents at all.
The committee has let each COM
munity make its own how-to- do-it
