Some Safety Tips
Tomorrow is Safe Driving Day in our community, and
the success of this day is up to each individual—citizen of
College Station, faculty and staff member of A&M College
and students.
A few timely tips, provided by the President’s Committee
for Traffic Safety which is the sponsoring agent of S-D
Day, would seem in order on the eve of this national experi
ment.
SAFE DRIVING TIPS:
Be sportsmanlike on every drive.
Obey all traffic regulations.
Keep speed reasonable. Start earlier and drive slower.
Don’t drive when you drink, and vice versa.
Remember, danger increases with darkness: At sun
down, reduce speed so you’re within range of your head
lights.
Stay in line—don’t weave.
Don’t pass unless there’s plenty of room—and never on
hills or curves.
Allow sufficient stopping distance between you and the
car ahead.
Be extra alert at intersections.
Always signal your intention to turn or stop.
If the weather is bad, don’t drive unless you must. If
you drive, double your care.
Check your brakes, lights, windshield wipers, tires and
steering.
SAFE WALKING TIPS:
Cross streets only at crosswalks.
Before crossing, look both ways.
Cross only on proper signal.
Watch for turning cars.
Never go into the roadway between parked cars.
If tliere is no sidewalk, and you must walk in the road
way, walk on left, facing traffic.
When walking at night, wear or carry something white
to help drivers see you.
THE ABOVE TIPS MAY SOUND RATHER COMMON
PLACE, AND POSSIBLY SOME OF THEM MAY SOUND
A LITTLE FOOLISH. BUT THEY CAN SAVE A LIFE,
AND MAYBE YOUR LIFE, SOMETIME.
Everyone should join in making tomorrow, and all other
tomorrows, Safe Driving Days.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
We wish to thank you, the won
derful people of Texas A&M, Col
lege Station, and Bryan for their
deep sympathy as you supported
us in our anxiety with your pray
ers, your generous offers and con
tributions.
We have never before known
such loyalty and concern, as not
only the friends of James E. Sar-
ran have shown us, but all those
who have answered to our needs.
We would like to thank everyone
personally, but conditions make it
impossible.
It’s awfully hard to accept the
loss of our loved one, but your
thoughts and prayers on the pass
ing of James have helped strength
en us in these dark hours.
We feel that James demonstra
ted a love—an above and beyond
the call of duty, concern for his
Aggie Buddies that lives in the
hearts of all Texas Aggies.
Please r e m ember that our
thoughts and best wishes will al
ways be in Aggieland and with all
Texas Aggies.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. & Mrs. T. P. Sarran
Mr. & Mrs. Chris Schneider

Dear Editor:
The Aggie War Hymn has not
been heard in our home the past
two weekends, for that voice which
sung it so fervently has been still
ed forever. Don had his complaints
about Aggieland, but they were
usually followed by an outbreak of
song which proved him an Aggie
through and through. His great
pride was the football team which
he could not be a part of because
of an earlier football injury, and
bis family knew by heart the vir
tues of such players as Bobby Joe
Conrad Whom he admired and our
own Darrell Brown.
We felt the sunshine had left
our lives completely with his trag
ic, unnecessary passing, but a ray
of sunshine and help has been giv
en us by the wonderful letters of
your faculty, the many beautiful
flowers, cards of sympathetic un
derstanding sent by Mothers Clubs
and by the presence of so many
of you at his service.
Thank you for everything you
have done to make our cross easier
to bear.
