C, Thursday, December 28, 1971-Fafs It; WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS: t nr Explained Two young women were chatting when one noticed something odd and said to the other, "You're wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger." "Yes, I know," was the reply, "I married the wrong man." MORE THAN A GREETING CARD This holiday message s a reminder lhat Christmas merriment and New Year happiness do 'not dwell on streets where accident live. Yet Christmas is the most dangerous holiday of the year from the standpoint of traffic crashes - worse than Memorial Day, worse than tho Fourth of July, worse than Labor Day, in the records of the Nation and the State of North Carolina. - This is why sound safety programs DO, in effect, represent a holiday wish for happiness as meaningful and sincere as any you are likely to receive. There's just one hitch. Safety depends more on people themselves than on official programs. So perhaps a few simple safe-driving tips are still in order - to be practiced and passed along to anyone whose happiness is important to us this Christmas: Watch the weather. Don't be afraid Uncancel a trip for good cause; disappointment isn't like death - it doesn't last forever. 'lfjou,do decide to travel, check your lights, battery, tires, chains, exhaust system; take along flares, extra warn clothing, a full gas tank; and fasten all safety belts. If drinking is in your plans, schedule your drinking and driving to keep them off a collision course! This season is a fitting occasion for an expression of thanks, to all who help to promote highway safety, from the staff of the , ( , Highway Safety Promotion Division -Vj,jS', Ouch! The editor of a newspaper caught a typographical error, that could have led him Into Dante's Inferno. The story; read that the board of tius-.j tees of the town had resign-' ed in a body "because their: cuties had been taken over; by the County School Board.": if good times, good cheer at Christmas! Sincere good wishes for the holidays. May the season be truly joyous to you. Thank you for all of your patronage. Twine TUe & Carpet Shod U.S. 17 NORTH - HERTFORD, N. C.
