MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager CLIFF MEMMOTT, Editor IF YOU DRINK, THEN DONT DRIVE IS STILL AN EXCELLENT BIT OF ADVICE If youve had your hand on the bottle keep your foot off the trottle. That warning was issued the nations drivers today by the National Safety Council as it opened its annual Christmas safety campaign. The campaign is aimed at reducing holiday accidents. Special emphasis will' be on traffic accidents, which have taken an upward swing this year of about 6 per cent. A contributing factor to this increase is an even greater gain in motor vehicle travel. Heavier travel and the festive spirit of the Christmas season always add to the normal winter hazards of bad weather, slippery roads and added hours of darkness, the Council said. In warning against driving after drinking, the Council said h of all fatal traffic accidents involve a drinking that driver or pedestrian. The conviviality of the holidays probably increases this percentage. In an effort to reduce yuletid'e accidents to a minimum, city and state officials, civic leaders, safety councils and 160 organizations are joining with the Council' in enlisting the cooperation of every motorist and pedestrian. If everyone would be his brothers keeper and assume personal responsibility for himself and others, whether walking or driving, many holiday traffic accidents could be prevented,, Ned H.
