IV comber 21 - Warning that the "alcohalidays" are here again L,/ S. (Pete) Harris; executive direc tor Of the American Association of Motor Vehicle. Admln'fstritors today suggested nightcaps of cof fee, hot with plenty of ssiigar. as a. sound precaution for drivers at tending Christinas and Now Year's pa.rjios. Mr. H.arr.is, who coined the catchy slc>gaii"alcoholiditys" dur-. ing the Christmas season- last year said ihe campaign had met .i with unusual success in Now Kng land and Maryland: Called the "one for the road" campaign. Mi\ Harris related that ho wrote Mayor John B! Hynes of Boston just before Christmas. 1951, urging that ho include in his holiday .safety pro clamation the suggestion that party .hosts and hostesses make the final drink of the evening coffee instead of something ?stronger. The suggestion was based .on the known "steading" effect of coffee taken with lots of sugar. Mayor Hynes reported many New England newspapers featur ed the story. Hotels and night Clubs in Boston advertised the fact that late departing guests would be served hot coffee "on the hpuse". The Boston official later re ported that traffic deaths in all New England totalled only four as compared with 13 the year be fore. He credited this Improve ment to the "one for the road" campaign. ? In Maryland, Mr. Harris re ports, the campaign was also vig orously supported. Governor Theodore McKeldin reported no. traffic deaths at New Years last year as against fight fatalities l wo .years ago. Mr. 1 larrisi .fcakl . that next to, "after the party" drivers, the hea- ] viest contributor to the holiday. ACC-icient total has been the inter city traveler. '.'
