BM Woman's Club Launches Drive. To Save Lives The Black Mountain Woman's club is cooperating with the na tional organization in attempting to save lives during the coming Fourth of July week-end. The local members will join the nation wide life-saving project, based on a chain of telephone calls which will be conducted by the General Federation of Women’s clubs as a special event in cooperation with the President’s committee on traf fic safety. The aim of this unique action, according to Mrs. Theodore S. Chapman, president, is to reach every American home with an ap peal for special care and courtesy in driving on streets and highways over the three-day Fourth of July week-end. Every individual member of the General Federation’s 15,000 local federated clubs across the country is being urged to take part in this all-out effort to reduce the death and injury toll in traffic over the hazardous holiday period. Last year, the nation’s celebration of Independence Day was marred by the loss of 348 lives in traffic. At 10:30 a. m. on Friday, July 1, every member, acting under di rection of her local club, will be expected to make the first of four telephone calls spreading the traf fic safety appeal. Each recipient of a call will be asked to call four others, so that as the chain spreads millions of homes will be reached. All calls are to be completed in the two days. Safety Chairman Miss Lou Lind say of the Woman’s club has issued a special appeal to all members to carry out the above instructions. “Be sure and have your list of four people ready to call and tell them to call four others. You never know—just your word of caution will certainly cause others to think and drive more carefully over this Fourth of July holiday and many lives may be saved through this concerted effort. Do your part. “We are asking the ministers of all the churches in town to toll their church bells at 10:cjflon Fri day, July 1, as the kicko* for the women to begin making their calls. “The city fire siren will also sound at the same time. We would appreciate cooperation from our entire community for this safety program,” Miss Lindsey concluded. Under direction of Mrs. James Crawford, safety chairman last year, the Black Mountain Woman’s club won national recognition for its safety program and has been cited by many national leaders and publications as what a small town can do to promote safety.
