DO SOMETHING ley, 63, prominent Sure we can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. There are fine organizations that are working day and night on the problem, organizations like the National Safety Council, American Automobile Association, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and many other groups. We can cooperate with these organizations by setting a personal example of safe driving, joining some local safety organization, and working for better laws and better enmany City-Coun- forcement. WE CAN PLAY THE GAME! The National Council recently set up four simple rules EASY that ALL OF US CAN FOLLOW. Here they are: a. Start early and take it easy. b. Hold down speed to a safe and sensible level. c. Don't argue with the other guy about the right-o- fway let him have it! WE'LL BOTH LIVE YES, Safety RULES LONGER. d. Be just as polite and thoughtful on the road as we are at home. So let's follow these easy rules, SAVE PRECIOUS LIVES, and KEEP IT FUN TO LIVE IN AMERICA. --cCc- HOW CANDIDATES ARE NOMINATED!
