S-D Day is not being: un dertaken just to persuade us to walk and drive safely for a sin pie day. Its purpose is to awaken us to the need for being safe every day, the year-around. S-D Day is sponsored by the President’s Committee for Traf fic Safety in cooperation with 'nearly 200 national organizations. “The Rotary Club,” Mr. Allran reminded, “is dedicated to civic service. Helping to combat traf fic accidents is certainly in this catepory. The only way we can conquer this problem is to bring every resident to a continuing realization of his own responsi bility for safe driving and walk m “We are hoping that, with pub lic support, we can make safe driving a vear-around habit. Of course we want Cherryville to have a perfect record on S-D Day itself—not a single traffic accident of any kind. But we are also go ing to try to extend the program throughout the coming year. “The President has given his complete endorsement of this project. So have Governor Hodges, Mayor Robinson, and countless other influential organizations and T'V.o nrnMpm 1ft OTiC1 of making every driver and pedestrian—all of us—aware of bis own responsibility. As a chain, is only as strong as its weakest link, so are we all dependent up on each individual for the success, of the S-D Day program. “Common courtesy is a much under-rated commodity; it is the basis for overcoming a menance which kills tens of thousands, and maims' more than a million every vear. I hope that every one of us in Cherryville will start right now to practice than courtesy every day which will enable all of us to win the fight against traf fic accidents. FRANKLIN LUTHER BEAM.
