Safety Council Notes

Now's the time to sign up and
be counted!
During the month of February
the State Federation of Women's S
Clubs are taking signatures to a
courteous driving pledge, 'The
Code of the Road" and by the
end Of the month they hope to have
the signature Of hundreds Of regis
tered drivers in Delaware.
Mrs. Joseph w. Ennis, safety
chairman for the Federation ex-
pressed her thanks to the Della
ware Safety Council for their cour-
tesy in supplying the pledge cards
and bumper strips.
In signing the pledge, a driver
promises to live up to seven basic
rules Of driving courtesy. After
he has signed, he receives a cour-
tesy bumper sticker which he is
asked tO display on the rear
bumper of his car.
Courteous driving programs are
not new, but the idea of measuring
the success of such programs is.
It was started in Midland, Michigan,
last October when the National
Safety Council and the Inter In
dustTy Highway Safety Commit
tee coOperated with the Midland
Traffic Safety Commission and the
American Association of University
Women in conducting a pilot Oper-
alton Safety program along these
lines. In the month-long effort
10000 drivers-virtually 100 per
cent of the Midland Areas regis
tered drivers-signed up. During
February numerous communities
throughout the nation are conduct
ing similar Operation Safety pro-
grams using Midland's. record as
their goal

important. It's the thinking behind
the signing that counts. Each sig
nature represents a driver who is
convinced that courtesy on the
road is a must and who believes
it so strongly that he pledges him
self to live up to the rules of
courtesy at all times.
What we're striving for is to
get 100 per cent of our drivers
thinking this way. That would
follow naturally if every driver
realized two important facts. The
first is that the line between dis
courtesy and traffic law violation is
a thin one, and it is often difficult
to tell when it is crossed. The
second is that there is a very def
mite relationship between traffic
law violations and traffic accidents.
Just how definite this can be shown
statistically In 1853, 81 per cent
of drivers in fatal accidents were
violating traffic law at the time
of the accident.
Realizing that his own safety and
the safety of all he meets in
traffic depends to a great extent on
his courteous conduct, no driver
should have any difficulty in living
up to the seven points of the Code
of the Road.
