s ' If you are traveling sixty miles p ;r hour and passing a car that is g ling forty-five miles per hour, it is like parsing forty cars parked hamper to bumper on the road. You would look ahead carefully bjefore passing so many parked cars. Look'just as carefully when lassing one moving car, because it takes 600 feet to safely overtake, I ass and clear the car ahead at those speeds. r - : 1- r 1 . Stop, Look, Listen T At Train Crossings Since cdrlk'st tunes railroads have worked hard to provide many of the things Unit, we take for granted. They carry the fresh foods we eat, take people on their 1 vacations, and in some cases car- 1 ry the dead to their burying places, f Trains can do .more than this. Last year, according, to the Na-’j tfonnl Safety Council, 1,875 people were killed at grade crossings by trains. Kven 'morf distressing is-j that just a casual look at the fig- j ures show that 713 per cent of these people died at railroad cross-1 ings where the whole track was i in view. / g * Many of ..the 4,700 injuries .which , occurred could have been avoided!; by merely following the rules which the Safety Council.lists be low. | '♦ • . - 1. Approach all rail-highway crossings with your vehicle under control, prepared to stop, if nc- cessary. 2. Look and listen. If (he view is obscured, use extra precaution ary measures. Know the way is clear before attempting to pass over the crossing, .1 Obey the traffic rules and caution others to do so. 4. Support public enforcement agencies in their campaigns for safe driving on the highway and at grade crossings^ 5. Always observe these defin ite warning signs.

A safe Christmas -celebration, free from accidents that liiar hol iday happindss in thousitntls of American homes,, is the very best present anybody can give or re ceive, the Council said. There is a need for everyone to recognize the ext fir holiday hazards and to offset them- with the extra caution needed to nold down. Occi dents that make -the Christmas- NewTfealt perib4¥he mhst d.mgetv ous^time of the year. The Council pointed out that traffic accidents reach theit; peak at year-eVid be cause of winter weather, earlioi - dark’nips and holiday festivity. Home accidents also soar during this period. The Council' and 160 other na tional organizations are conduct ing n nationwide campaign to hold down the thryatened- holiday toll-. City and state officials, civic lead ers and local safety leaders are co-operating with the cninpaign behind the slogan, “Don't l et Death Take Your Holiday!” “Christmas is it very special du,\ p( Joy," said Ned H, Dearborn, iireshlqpt of the Council.; "Hut it Is a ver; sense, Uio-| a senst '■j T* very special day inf another l*! ttllit spoils V I tragedy for many homes and fam ilies in the midst of Yuletiife- hap piness. “Our records show that the traf- fic death toll for the day before Christinas is even greater—about two and a half times the daily] average. These two days call for! special caution on everybody’s part j —driver and pedestrian alike. “If everyone assumes personal responsibility for a safe celebra tion for hipiself and others” Dear born continued,” whether he is walking or driving in traffic, or is in his own home—-thenChristmas will he a truly happy holiday fori all'of us.” ^ The Council offered the follow-, ing suggestions to keep the spirit] of Christinas—alive: >; 1. Start early and take it easy when you are driving. Heavy holi day travel is especially dangerous] because of winter’s earlier dark-' m ss and had weather, 2. Be alert when you are walk ing. Avoid t-he rush ot last minute j Christmas shopping, ami carry packages so 'hey do not obstruct' your view. Motorists cannot al ways see you, especially dialing »mly evening darkness. '! Htay sober when you are cele- laating. Doti’t let holiday spirit-r- or spirits replace cUmmon sense. .
