North Cardinals drivers and pc
destrians today were asked to join
a Statewide effort to remain COM
pletely free of traffic accidents on
"S-Day"-"Safe Driving Day" -
Wednesday, December Is.
The appeal was made by Col.
James r. Smith. commanding the
State Highway Patrol He said:
81 am asking every man, wo-
man, and child who uses our
streets and highways to make an
extraordinary effort to walk and
drive safely on SD Day. We
want to demonstrate that traf-
fic accidents can be reduced
materially if everyone complies
voluntarily with all traffic regu-
lations. We hope that we may go
entirely free of such accidents.
Last year North Carolina lost
Lib of its citizens in traffic acci-
dents. About $50 occurred on our
rural highways. I therefore urge
motorists to exercise particular
caution on the open road.
"Our observance of SD Day is
part of a Nationwide effort to TO-
Gus attention on the seriousness of
the traffic accident problem. 1t
merits the full support of all of us.
"Our state highway patrolmen
are urged to set a good example on
SD Day. We want to show the
