Safe Driving
Urged Over
Holiday Week-end
“With the first long weekend
«oming up over Memorial Day,
there will be lots of extra dashing
around in cars. Everyone will be
m a hurry to get out to the cabin
tap the road, or out to the creek
to do some fishing, or just to be
jpfting somewhere. “With three
days to do it in, give a little
thought to safe driving, and give
death a holiday also”, reminds
Emery F. Kennedy, director of
the Alaska Safety Council.
Before taking off for that
'Memorial Day week-end out,
Kennedy suggests that drivers
lake time to answer these ques
tions:
DO YOU respect your traffic,
'laws? DO YOU use good judge
ment about speed? DO YOU stay
where you belong? (Keep a safe
•distance behind the car ahead).
YOU signal properly? Do
respect pedestrians? Do
YOU drive only when fit to do !
so? Do You check your car of- j
lea? Be sure your brakes and j
his are good. See that your car I
.*?■ always in sound mechanical
tsundition. I
■“Cooperate with the Safety
Council’s safe-driving campaign
wr the holiday, and observe
traffic regulations . . . you'll be
*ths winner”, stated Kennedy.
