Patrol, has ordered all patrolmen
available to sacrifice days off and
has assigned e~xtra-duty hours to
insure maximum assistance from
the Patrol.
"Since 40 percent of this years
fatal accidents involve drinking
and an even greater percentage
involve speed over legal limits
or greater than reasonable under

problems will be our primary
targets" the Supervisor stated
He also appeals to every driv-
