Lets wrap up Christmas safely this year and end the joyous holiday season with fewer broken homes. The holiday season is significant of life. Yet every yuletide hundreds of lives are snuffed out or ruined by careless accidents. Most of the deaths and injuries are in traffic mishaps. The National Safety Council has found that the dailv traffic death toll during the Christmas holiday season is slightly more than twice the annual daily average. Family gatherings and other festivities of the year-ra- d holiday season bring the peak travel of the winter and when more cars are on the move there is more chance of an accident. Early darkness, plus bad weather, add up to poor visibility. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid accident situations. Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and highways, but thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust their speed to hazardous conditions. The good fellowship of the season stimulates more drinking and too often the celebrants clink glasses with death. An accident pan be tragic at any time, but at Christmas it is doubly so. And yet the Christmas season is ruined in thousands of homes every year by suffering and tragedy from accidents that need never have happened. Many a Christmas tree and gaily wrapped gift have become mocking reminders of someone not there to enjoy them. The traditional spirit of Christmas is Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men." A little extra caution, courtesy and common sense can keep this spirit alive and help reduce holiday accidents. Remember that your life is the most valuable present you can give your family or friends. Handle it with care. Dont lose it in the holiday rush. Dont let death take you holiday! v Ev The wages of economic sin are debt and taxes. Irving S. Olds, former chairman of U. S. Steel Corp.
