It was about a new plan to reduce traffic accidents she had just read in her newspaper. Her son, riding with a licensed driver, had been killed in 1952. In her anguish and sorrow and the aching void in her family circle, her first thought was for other mothers. She felt she must do something to save others from that endless heartbreak which strikes into some 40,000 homes every year. What can I do? she pleaded. As a citizen I feel that such a plan is most worthy of everyones consideration. As a mother whose boy was one of 38,000 Americans who lost their lives, I will whole-heartedlenlist to recruit others to put such a plan into effect. Must other mothers and fathers be so tragically shocked into a lifesaving crusade to stop this killing on the highways? Not if you do your part in the way you drive. And you can join community projects to make streets and highways safer, too. A citizenry sick and ashamed of this reckless, heedless, unnecessary killing could contribute much to saving thousands of lives. 15-year-o- ld y Think safety talk safety drive safelyl S 1 O 7 DOWN-LIV- ES ARE IN YOUR HANDS! |
