HOLIDAY DRIVING
Traffic authorities can name three specific traffic
hazards that come with the- Christmas season year after
year.
They are: slippery streets, reduced vision and an
increase in the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
All three add to the holiday taiific death and injury
toll.
These specific hazards are further complicated by
still another that presents a definite problem in itself
and intensifies the danger of the other three.
This is a seasonal disability known as “holidaze.”
Holidaze is compounded of Christmas cheer, last
minute shopping, splendid window displays, crowded
streets, bundles and packages, sounds of carols, pe
destrians and motorists hurrying to get home — all fac
tors resulting in a kind of holiday heedlessness and all
calculated: to intensify the hazards that are a natural re
sult of the winter season.
There are no real statistics on holidaze. But the
heedlessness is still there. Therefore at the beginning of
this Yule season we want to suggest a simple slogan:
Don’t let death take vour holiday!”
Remember, on foot or under the wheel, slippery
roads multiply the driver’s problems and lessen his con
trol of his vehicle. They make pedestrian footing unsure,
often precipitating walkers into dangerous traffic.
Darkness, too, is a holiday menace. Longer hours of
darkness prevail throughout December, so much of the
travel involved in getting to and from work, in shopping,
in visiting, must be done in dusk or darkness. This addfs
to the accident toll.
Perhaps we should dwell on the theme “Peace Upon
Earth to Men of Good Will,” making it clear that good
will should be practiced at all times — including time
spent on the streets and highways.

Village Verses
irS UP TO THEM
Wisdom and experience
That’s what old age brings.
But progress always will depend
On a youthful heart tlmt sings.
Old timers look back on their trail,
With mingled bitter sweet;
While youngsters blaze a new one
For eager, willing feet.
So if we have a right to hope
For better days ahead.
If we can dream of peace on earth—
A world that has no dread.
We won’t depend on oldsters
For our faith in future things,
We’U rally to a leader
With a youthful heart that sings.

WORDS OF HOPE
71w Lord looks down with' pity on
^ose who are sore distressed.
And courts them with words of hope—
And thus cures the oppressed.
Ali anxious care He drives eway
And things that cause distrust;
He seeks to draw us to Himself—
Away from the unjust.
He yearns to cure our every ill.

To fill our souls with such delight
That we shall fear no foes.
