Plan Healthy And A Safe Christmas Season This Year -- Acculrnl Kiiiinvs C'liinlt To 11 iifli Peak ('liristnias And Now Yoar's Deaths and injuries due to avoidable accidents are not con fined to any one season of the year, but accident figures usual ly do take a sharp, upward turn during the Christmas and New Year holiday season.
