ALCOHOL AND AUTOMOBILES or Whether you’re driving while drinking drinking while driving, you’re really behind the proverbial "8” ball in case of an accident. There is no doubt but that one’s clear thinking and quick reactions are dulled to a certain extent by any form of alcohol, whether it be just a bot tle of beer or a short nip of whiskey. The main thought is . . . ’tis a dangerous practice. Many happy homes have been broken up and numerous innocent lives have been snuffed out, by some thoughtless person trying to mix alcohol and the operation of a motor vehicle. These two items just won’t blend together where anyone’s safety is concerned, and aren’t we all obligated to practice self-preservation for our own sake? It is rather alarming to note the large number of cancellations of drivers license in our State each month, due to persons driving while drunk. And yet, such instances do continue to take place each week, with mangled and torn bodies resulting from the unnecessary wrecks on our state high ways. I When each individual accepts his or her re sponsibility in eliminating this very hazardous practice of driving while drinking, then our deaths on the highway will decrease and not before. Remember: IF YOU DRIVE—DON’T DRINK AND IF YOU DRINK, DON’T DRIVE. And Always Will Be! SAFETY has been and always will be, yours for the asking. In fact, those interested in the pre vention of personal injuries will even argue that you accept safe practices as a part of your job. RIGHT UP FOLK91 'Trt£RE'S NO CHARGe ‘3^PeTY IS STILL FREE! Accidents don’t just happen—they are caused. But they do not happen to and are not caused by those employees who are safety conscious. Since safety is free and your very existence de pends on it, you should accept it as a good bar gain and beg for more. 'Tis Your Life ... You Keep It Safe! ITS TOO BAD THAT "Safe peAcnces" do Not ftPPLY lb You Too. They REftLLY PAYOFF FOB US RT ECUSTA. THEY S/IVB OUR NECKS' AND PLENTY/ OF INJURIES.
