MOORE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS. PLEASE! Each year nearly 40,000 people are killed on our highways, twice that many are maimed, and well over one million are injured. The National Safety Council estimates that seat belts could re duce injuries by one-third, deaths by 5,000. This figure was not picked out of the air. It is based on careful study. Seat belts do work. Those who don’t use the belts almost always give the same reason: It was too much trouble because they were only going a short distance. But the point is that most of the driving was close to home, and that’s where most accidents happen. The most valuable contribution a seat belt makes is to remind the driver who straps it on that he is using good driving sense. SAY “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” BY TELEPHONE! This is a true story, and we’re passing it on because we think it’s such a good idea. Recently, a thoughtful daughter planned an unusual 25th anniversary gift for her parents. The family was spread all over the country . ^Yan aunt in Kansas, an uncle in California, grandparents in Florida, WeU, the daughter brought them all together in a surprise long distance conference call to her parents. At a pre arranged time, all 12 members talked back and forth across the country and wished the celebrating couple a happy anniversary. One more nice thing about the telephone... it helps people have family reunions ... by long distance! * * 4> How far do you need to go to find out the latest news?
