“But I was right, dead right!
I was going into that intersection
first. I had the right of way—
that truck driver should have
stopped when he saw me—I was
right, dead right!”
‘‘Yes dear—you always were
right—the other fellow was al
ways wrong. That's why we're
here.’’
This conversation, reported be-1
tween two gravestones, appeared
in a TOCCOA RECORD (Georgia)
advertisement appealing for safe
and thoughtful driving on the
highway. It is expressive of the
reasoning of many who drive
our highways, and reminds me of,
an epitaph I once read, "Here lies *
the body of Dan McKay. He died
maintaining his light of way.
He was right, dead right, as he
sped along. But he's just a.- dead
as if he'd been dead wrong.”
THE TOCCOA RECORD is one
ol many newspapers through
out the nation which is conduct
in a vigorous campaign for safe
and thoughtful driving on our
streets and highway- Automobile
traffic is one of the nation's
greatest headaches. It is filling I
our laispitals and grav< yaids ai
an uncomfortable rate. Too much
of it is caused by an attitude of I
mind reflected in this advertise- I
ment.
While we wrestle with selfish
ness in every coiner of life it
seems to become more prominent 1
when we get behind the wheel of
an automobile. There are drivers j
who are scrupulously polite on
foot, but the minute they get be- ]
hhul the wheel of an automobile |
they leave politeness on the
ground. There's many a driver
who will stand hack to allow!
another to precede him in enter
ing a door, hut when he’s in an j
automobile, he rushes uncere
moniously ahead. He may own
h; ve the legal right of way, but
