Show Will Coming Holiday Season Bring Horror? Will Christmas be a holiday or a horror day for you and your family? The National Safety Council asked that question this week as it announced a campaign in December to reduce accidents on the highways and in the home. Emphasis during the month long campaign will be on the moral responsibility Americans have to prevent accidents. The person who brought disregard for safety injures or kills another person has violated a commandment. "Thou shalt not kill" refers just as surely to motorists on the highway and chance-takers in the home as it does to the berserk man with a loaded shotgun. Motorists who drink and then drive, homeowners who carelessly use matches, candles or Christmas tree lights, are morally responsible if death or injury results. , One target of the National Safety Council holiday campaign is the office party that relies on the bottle for its fun. The campaign will not attempt to dampen holiday gaiety. "We're just as much in favor of office parties as the next one, but not when they spill out tipsy people 'to climb behind the wheel of a car and drive on the highway. Have your friendly office party but without the flowing bowl, the highball hilarity," hilar-ity," says the Council. |
