The President of THEUNiTED'StATEsT^Tfie^roBlefnTof lbweringthehighway death
rate remains one of the nation's most seripus problems. It is an appalling fact that
33,500 American citizenswere killed in automobile accidents in 1946. I therefore call
upon every State and every community in the.land^to.work unceasingly through)
1947 to promote highway safety;*
"Laws and regulations will be of little'av^U'unless thejndividuar driver holds
himself strictly accountable to.his.own conscience*
? *
That call is to you personaflfy'to'cooperateTas7aTcRizen"of"theU nited States in
helping reduce highway accidents. It is at shameful Fecord when in one year 33,500
lives are sacrificed; 1,150,000 persons are injured and $750,000,000^in property
destroyed, resulting in an economic cost to the nation of $2,000,000,000 because of
careless, reckless driving.
It is a national problem; but essentially the solution is in your hands. Drive
safely ? live and let live! .
