The “open road” is engineered for safety. Its curves, grades, over and under passes, and road markings are all designed for you to drive and live. But every road can be as safe or as dangerous as you and millions of other drivers make it. It’s how you drive, how you respect road controls, speed limits, stop signs; how you think when you drive and how you use or mis use the courtesy of the road that determines the degree of safety or danger. Since the end of the war, rural highway deaths have climbed until they account for three-quarters of the toll in dead and injured. Three of every four accidents occurred in clear weather on dry roads. Eighty percent of vehicles involved in fatal accidents were traveling straight ahead. These are stark facts which put the terrific highway carnage straight up to the driver behind the wheel. A reckless, lawless attitude makes safe highways dangerous. Ask yourself, honestly, “Am I a safe, or dangerous driver?” SLOW DOWN-LIVES ARE IN YOUR HANDS! o psner VALUE 3 « MODERN bedroom sui« $203.50 f ghrffi) The finest furniture is featuring solid brass trim this year—and here it is in a really low-priced suite.
